few vegan options

**Updated** Now not veggie any longer. The veg they do serve is very basic and not inspired. Not sure why they would convert to a meat based menu after bringing in an exec chef from Flora?! They should have focused on making their whole food approach more exciting, less bulky. Disappointing.***

Let me first say Bastyr is an amazing place and anyone would be honored and lucky to get to go here.

One thing though, the baked goods on display, there was only one of 6 or 7 that was vegan. I expected more. At least it's mostly OG, and I believe they grow some of their own veggies. They just need me to come in here and bake for them, cook a few vegan items up.

I would love to come here everyday though ;)

They have dry goods in the cafe and bookstore, and a coffee bar and a juice bar I believe.

Not bad- just limited

This place is truly cafeteria style but it's a great find in a small town where veg*n choices are very limited. I visited on a Friday when the special was Avocado wraps (vegan), they also had some hot choices and salad bar. The wrap also had tomato, lettuce, sprouts and oils and such, it was pretty good but a little too big for me. You select the one you want and pay per pound, but I had a hard time eyeing just how much I'd want. I also tried the watermelon greek salad which was surprisingly good, only problem was I discovered at the end that it had feta in it (I'm vegan), still -good flavors in it. I had a vegan pumpkin bread for dessert - yummy! I noticed some gluten free selections as well.
I think this venue is good for people close by that don't want to cook lunch or breakfast once in awhile, or maybe to meet a friend at, but there just aren't a lot of food choices available.
My whole meal was under $5, so the prices are decent.

Pros: good value, nice environment
Cons: small menu
