Chef Tanya's Kitchen

Chef Tonya's Kitchen Palm Springs, California During our visit to Palm Springs, California, we decided to step away from the downtown area and try a restaurant known for its vegan offerings. Although I am not vegan and have only limited experience with plant‑based cuisine, I was genuinely curious to explore something new. The restaurant is just a short drive from downtown and is thoughtfully divided into two main areas. The first section is where guests place their orders, and within this space is a small market featuring plant‑based foods, books, T‑shirts, and other items. After ordering, guests walk a short distance to the indoor picnic‑style dining area, which is furnished with tables and chairs. There are also a few outdoor seating options just outside the market. I was pleasantly s

I'm not a fan of tempeh, but I decided to try the caprese burger. I was pleasantly surprised to find the texture and flavor was not what I was used to. I enjoyed the burger and really liked the Mac and cheese and potato salad. Dessert was a cherry tart which was sweet and flaky. The dining area is separate from the store and order section, which is nice. However, they are right under the flight path of the airport so it gets pretty loud with the jets flying overhead.

Incredible vegan food! We stopped here based on a Google search for vegan food and a local’s recommendation. We ended up eating here 3 times over the course of our trip to Palm Springs. Fresh sandwiches with flavorful ingredients, and super friendly staff. Recommend the Cubano! It’s in a bit of a weird commercial location, off the beaten path, so you need a car to get there, likely. Parking and seating are ample, though. Open a location in Ottawa, Canada, please! We can’t stop thinking about your food!

Chef Tanya’s Kitchen in Palm Springs is an absolute gem. Delicious vegan goodness across the board, with plenty of gluten-free options that don’t feel like an afterthought. Everything tastes fresh, nourishing, and thoughtfully made. The desserts are divine—honestly some of the best vegan treats I’ve had anywhere. It’s well worth the journey, especially if you’re craving truly nutritious, satisfying food you just don’t really find in downtown Palm Springs. A must-visit for plant-based lovers (and anyone who loves great food).

Went here on 1/29. Hubs and I both had one of the tempeh burgers. He had the Guadalajara burger which he LOVED. I had the caprese which was fine but would not order again. I loved all the options they had in the cases including rebel cheese and vegan candies. Unfortunately we went to grab a cupcake after our meal to split when we got home. Once we got home, I realized the sell by date on the cupcake was 1/4/2026. That’s an entire 25 days old!!!! I did email the establishment about it but have not gotten a response. I would check dates on anything from those refrigerator cases before buying!
