I have been to this place several times now. The Chef does an amazing job with a Gluten free Vegan menu, The diversity is really incredible and the flavors are out of this world. If you have not tried this place, you need to.

Food is Okay. I have had raw food before, but this would come last on the list of best. But portion sizes are ridiculously small. Main course is the size of an appetizer! This is more $$$ restaurant if you want to have a wholesome dinner. We had to leave to another restaurant as we were still starving after a $ 50 couple’s dinner

This place is AWESOME! So go try something new! This place has a romantic vibe perfect for dining out and keeping those New Years resolutions intact, you won’t feel guilty or have sticker shock after your meal! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because due to the location, layout, and ambiance of the restaurant is a little odd. Most 5star joint you see are a bit warmer in atmosphere dimer lights and don’t have a cooler and sales shelf when you walk in the door, that being said I don’t have anything against the sales/cooler area. My husband and I shared the dumplings and the«sushi» roll, he had the gazpacho and their German«meatloaf» made from mushrooms and walnuts, I tried it and LOVEDIT. I had the cider press salad and the three amigos, both were delicious. We followed up with desserts I had the chocolate torte and he had the key lime pie, both were great. They have also added mixed drinks to the menu which were also wonderful. The only thing I would suggest is to offer breakfast/brunch. I’m so happy to see more vegan joints around!

Had lunch at the Cider Press with a friend. We are not vegan or raw food eaters but decided we would give it a try. Although the reviews are generally good by both vegans and not we found the food rather bland and non inventive. The gluten free bread was more like a soggy cracker with no taste at all. The eggplant bacon had the texture of foam board and was bland, can’t imagine people think this has the flavor of real bacon. My friend found her juice overly sweet, I had iced tea which was fine. The service was the worst. We got our menus when we sat down but our server was in slow motion and seemed overwhelmed by the four tables of two that were in the restaurant. We had to remind her to get our drinks and when we did she said«oh yes they’re on the counter.» Felt I had to try this restaurant as it is near my house but I will not be back again.

This is OK if you like salad… the spring rolls were tasteless, the experience left us hungry! The hard ginger cider was the highlight of the meal. Service was good and restaurant is clean. Just needs more depth to the vegan offerings and some hot dishes.

Very impressed with Cider Press Café! I ordered their lavender lemonade, and it was like a spa in my mouth. It was amazing! I also ordered their starter dish, Pineapple Kimchi Dumplings. They were light, refreshing, and tasty. Then I had the Pad Thai. While good, I think there should have been a warning or the waitress should have mentioned how hot it would be. I usually do spicy. I enjoy spicy, but it was just too hot. It took away from the experience. My sister enjoyed the Three Amigos Tacos. It was creative, fresh, and filling. Lastly, we just had to have dessert! We shared the Chocolate Ganache and it was absolutely divine! Our bill reached $ 60 for the 2 of us girls. However, it was well worth it. :)

Not too bad for raw vegan food, but I’ve had better and I probably wouldn’t come back. The portions were not very filling. The service was really slow considering we were one of only about 3 tables in the restaurant for lunch, They were also out of one of the sandwiches that we really wanted to try, which was disappointing and unexpected since they clearly weren’t having a busy day

Food was really good. Everything is vegan and dairy free sugar free and everything else free. I loved the 3 amigo tacos. The place was trendy and well maintained. Service was also very pleasant and informative. I would recommend this place and will be back.

Very good. Obviously it’s expensive for not so much food, but hey, they’re making vegetables taste delicious and that takes skill and time. When I find myself with excess cash and a desire to experience healthy food, I will certainly return.

This place is seriously awesome!!! Gluten free? Check. Dairy free? Check. Garlic-free options for low FODMAP? Check! I travel all the time and finding anything remotely healthy is always such a chore. I’m usually a big protein eater, so I’ve sort of shied away from vegan joints. Nonetheless, I can’t wait to come back and try some more things on their menu. Two thumbs up for the chocolate seduction smoothie and the flatbread(I ordered with no pesto and no onions, and it was STILL delicious!) the only thing that didn’t quite agree with my tastebuds was the eggplant bacon, but I think that’s just me. The waitress was extremely helpful with my dietary requests. I give this place major kudos for what they’re doing. I would love to see them open for breakfasts. Until then, Great job!

Really, really good vegan food! Two thumbs up for this place in Naples. I enjoyed a «seafood» bisque(a little strong on the cashews), and an avocado BLT. The eggplant bacon was delish! Light but filling. And they have kahwa coffee… bonus! Loads of options that I’ll be back for. Service was great. Ambiance was just right. Why isn’t this place packed during lunch? If I worked nearer I would be here all the time!

Delicious, flavorful(which is not that common with the raw food) and filling food. All vegan and raw! Really nice vibe and great service! Just go! If you are dessert person and like rich desserts go with the kona mocha fudge torte! Sooooo good! I’m definitely coming back as soon as I have a chance!

This place ticks all the right boxes: raw, vegan, local, organic, gluten free. Nice selection of beer, draft, wine and kombucha. Corn soup and gazpacho were great. Must try the buffalo bites and sushi rolls. Eggplant BLT was delicious. Mocha chocolate torte, thumbs up. Service with the best smile :) Will return and try more!

First off: I’m not a huge fan of raw food. That being said, I have eaten at some really amazing raw food places. We decided to have dinner here in July. Our server was, well, overly enthusiastic. I was dying for a nice green juice so I ordered the pear/kale item. It was mostly pear, not green, and lukewarm. For the main course, I ordered the portobello burger, which was essentially two portobello caps, marinated in some liquid and sandwiched with some other raw stuff. I took a bite and cast the rest aside. I couldn’t get out fast enough and that was a good move on my part. Not even ten minutes into the drive back, I started to become extremely sick. And it got worse. Really bad. All in all, this isn’t one for the memoirs. Overpriced and lackluster.

I was asked out on a dinner date to this cute little place by someone who is health/fitness conscious so tends to eat healthy. I’m not a vegan at all but he raved about this place… and he was right! My first time, I had the coconut rolls and pad thai! He had the gazpacho and a sushi roll and we paired that with a few glasses of great wine recommended by our nice waitress to get the conversation flowing! We only stopped talking when the dessert came, because it was so good we just had to devour it! We shared the key lime pie, the chocolate ganache tart and a cheesecake and we loved them! We were both satisfied and will keep coming back! We’ve gone back for lunch and it’s great as well! I think its important to keep in mind that its a raw restaurant and have an open mind you will really enjoy it. Give it a chance!

Though I am not vegan nor do I eat raw food on a normal basis, I still recommend this restaurant to those who are or to those who like to try new things. The infused(lavender or hibiscus) lemonade is AMAZING– a must try! There is no sugar in anything here, so the lemonade is sweetened with organic agave. Kale chips for an appetizer– nice and crisp but the portion size was small for sharing. I was dining with 2 others, so we decided to pick three different items and split them to get a taste of everything. Garden Lasagna(tomato, zucchini, sun dried tomato marinara, herbed cashew ricotta, basil walnut pesto; onion bread) Chicken Enchiladas, and Mushroom Burger. Keep in mind all these items are served cold because they are raw. So that was a surprise to us non-vegan, non-raw eaters. And I CANNOT forget DESSERT. A banana split. So delicious. I could have eaten two! Ice cream made from coconut meat and vanilla. Topped with housemade chocolate syrup. Overall, the favor combinations in everything were amazing. Once I got used to the concept of everything being cold, I was able to enjoy the taste. It was all delicious, so fresh and light tasting. If you are vegan, this is a must try! If you want to experience fresh, flavorful food, this is a must try!

Unless you are Vegan, I don’t recommend this place. I love to find organic foods and restaurants, but with this place the menu is very limited. They had some sort of lentil soup which was very good. They claim to have fresh made juices, but they come in a bottle from another location. I would have been more impressed if they pressed it there themselves. I did have a smoothie which seemed fresh.

Delicious! Fresh, organic, vegan & gluten free at your fingertips. Break your sugar addiction with a slice of key lime pie made on a nut crust. Rediscover gazpacho when it arrives as a blend of FL corn garnished with bright red bell pepper. Convert your habituated palate by adding almond milk to hearty coffee. The décor is artfully combined. Somehow, the shaped bamboo chairs are much more agreeable than the off gassing upholstery found everywhere else. Even the diminutive fresh orchids on each table turn their blooms to you like welcoming tiny faces. Oh and if you want to cause an hysterical uproar of laughter, just order french fries w/velveeta.

This place is amazing! I’m new to eating Vegan so I’m excited to try everything on the menu so I will have to go back very soon. My first visit was for lunch and our table got the lasagna which, was a work of art and very tasty, the AvoBTL(eggplant«bacon») which was super filling, and the Florida sushi roll(watermelon«tuna») which was refreshing and delicious and the chef prepared it special because of my friend’s mango allergy. We got pineapple sorbet for dessert that the table shared — it was a light creamy treat that was a perfect end to our lunch. I will be back to this place soon and I will try something off the great wine list.
