About Nature's Way Cafe
Nature's Way Cafe was founded in 1978 by the Spina family in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The first Nature's Way Cafe franchise has been up and running in Juno Beach since 1988 and is a local hang-out for the young, old and fabulous.
Now there are several cafes in Florida and most of them have been around quite awhile.
Here you’ll find fresh salads, savory soups, tempting shakes and smoothies, and mouthwatering sandwiches and wraps made to order. Nature’s Way Cafe offers a healthy alternative to typical lunch-time fare. Try us once and you’ll become another passionate fan of Nature’s Way Cafe
The desire to eat well and to consider healthier choices at meal times is not just popular in sunny Florida but all over America.
Each Nature’s Way Cafe is independently owned and operated. If you’re a fan and you think you would enjoy owning your own Cafe’, please visit the Franchise Area or fill out our form on the right.
