Turtle Lake Refuge

Clean, nutritious food served by loving, skilled turtles Vegetarian options: Raw, vegan gourmet

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.

Local, raw, wild and the cleanest food in the four corners, if not west of the Mississippi. If you have never experienced absolute, true food then your in luck. Turtle lake is my favorite restaurant as long as I have lived so far. Everyone in their lifetime should eat here.

Vegetarian options: I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Nothing like it that I've found so far. Great people, food knowledge, food prep skills unmatched.

I did volunteer work here as this is a non profit organization, and I would like you to consider how many reviews this place has considering how long it has been here and how mainstream it is. It should have more reviews. They have been flagging negative reviews and to be blunt there is a lot of drug culture affiliated in my experience with the place. Low key don't eat the nori

It's always such an enjoyable lunch date. Raw, local, vegetarian and vegan food that fills you up. Tuesday's and Friday's 11:11-2:22 Vegetarian options: TLR serves local, vegetarian and vegan food. They do not serve any meat here. Dietary restrictions: TLR serves vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free foods. Wheelchair accessibility: If you park in the alley, it would be easy to roll in a wheelchair. There is also specified parking up on 3rd Avenue.

Love this place. Their sprouts are so good. Fun “chef menu” style lunches!

Lovely place for a light lunch in a relaxing atmosphere. Really appreciate the raw, vegetarian food option in town. It’s a not for profit organization as well!
