• Everett, it's getting better — With jackfruit!

FKA Ringing Cedar Tea Tavern (in Lake Stevens) has reopened as Cafe Wylde, www.cafewylde.com, in Everett at 2918 Hoyt Ave., Everett Wash., 98201 across from the Schack Art Center in a very nice light space (it was mostly recently home to Oh, Sweet! chocolate shop). It's so nice to have a delicious, mostly vegan (some honey and bee pollen) option North of Seattle. What they do with jack fruit! This was a new, surprising taste delight. Great texture and spicy. The corn tortilla tacos both Korean BBQ style and with a habanero creme and cashew creme sauce were delightful and satisfying. I also enjoyed the jackfruit burrito and pesto pasta with zucchini and kelp noodles. They also make wonderful juices and smoothies and raw cheesecake desserts. It's a wonderful heavy on the fruits and veggies option. Here's a nice review in the local newspaper from the prior location: Get healthy at vegan cafe in Lake Stevens http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20150306/ENT/150309562 Make this your on your way to north end animal sanctuaries like New Moon Goat Sanctuary (Arlington), Pasados Safe Haven (Monroe) and Pigs Peace Sanctuary (Stanwood).
