What a beautiful and refreshing experience we had at the Turtle Lake Refuge Cafe today! This is one spot I didn’t want to miss while visiting the area we look forward to moving to soon! Great spread today! Love all the staff and locals we spoke to today! We also got to enjoy petting the furry friends there visiting as well! Great experience! Love the mission and purpose! Many Thanks!! ~ Dr. Cija Ebeling, Ph.D. ✨

If you are anything like me you have wondered about this place for awhile. I ventured in with a couple friends for lunch last week and it was like stepping back (refreshingly) into my youth living in a teepee in the Santa Cruz Mountains and hanging out with the tribe in the alternative eateries in Felton and Boulder Creek. Very clean, very laid back, quiet with wonderful, plant-based delights. Where else but here can you get a 4 course meal for $15?
Feels like a return to the light. Check it out.

AMAZING!! I would eat here everyday if I could… Raw vegan food that tastes delicious and is good for the soul is what I’m all about. The staff are friendly and you can see the sprouts and veggies that they grow… Farm to table in one place! I really hope you support them and enjoy ♥️

The people are so loving! Their customer service is akin to going to a close friend’s house for a meal. The food is fresh and tasty. This is a raw food restaurant but everything was paired perfectly with the right flavor profiles. I felt revitalized and my tastes buds were delighted by the blends of fresh herbs and nuts. The menu is different each time plus you get dessert and it’s donation based so no one is turned away.

This place is AMAZING! The food is a feast to the eyes and the palate, and the atmosphere was so relaxed it felt as if I had dropped by a friend’s house for lunch in the garden. A true delight for those with a taste for gastronomic adventure.

What a divine treat in an absolutely stunning neighborhood! The food is all raw (uncooked) and all vegan, I know what your thinking, settle down. The food is delicious! I honestly don’t know exactly what we ate, but it was all vegetables and micro greens, and I would eat it everyday if I could. We were also served a quenching wheat grass and turmeric tonic, outstanding, and a raw dessert, which was some sort of date, nuts, chocolate concoction. Thumbs up for it as well. A great experience if your in the area.
