disappointing - Edit
I found this place overpriced and disappointing, though service was great. The raw ravioli was delicious but a really small portion, however we found a hair in it. The tacos said they had daiya but didn't, and the tortilla was weird being somewhere between overlooked and raw. Their coffee was good!

SE CT's 1st all veg eatery in 30 years - Edit
The words VEGAN and VEGETARIAN are blazoned across its signage (nice!), which risks alienating carnivore customers, but Kate says she wishes to "tell it like it is." Though a small cafe open only until 4pm (kitchen closes 3:30, after which some prepared foods are available for take-out), the menu still offers much variety, especially for breakfast from 7 to 11am. The breakfast menu is more diverse than that for lunch, which is mostly salads and sandwiches and soup. I ate here once for lunch (good) and once for breakfast (even better), both times soon after the cafe's debut in early August 2012. (As of December 2012, Saturday dinners are planned, for which reservations are required.) The grains and breads are whole grain, and whole food tempeh largely displaces junk food tofu, hurray!
Read moreSeating is cramped, six comfortably, eight squeezed, so don't plan to engage in meaningful discourse or intimate conversation here with your meal mate. When the weather and season smile upon us, you can sit outside at two shaded tables and upon several lounge chairs, though only steps from busy street traffic. Due to its cramped seating indoors and bustling traffic outdoors, Kate's clientele likely will be mostly take-out, for which ample parking is provided next door in the pharmacy lot. To drive here you fortunately can bypass the traffic congestion of downtown Mystic by taking Exit 90 for the Seaport and Aquarium. While I am not likely to make a special trip just to dine here and thereby add to Mystic's traffic congestion, I do look forward to eating here the next time I am in Mystic before 3:30pm. Let's hope local Mystic folks keep this cafe humming with business, so that the next time we out-of-towner vegheads are in Mystic we can patronize Ms Kate's Cafe
Pros: all vegetarian, nearly all vegan, its breakfast menu
Cons: cramped, breakfast menu only to 11am, Mystic traffic congestion

Delicious vegan food - Edit
I went for lunch with another person and we sat outside. I had the curried chickpea salad which came with a side of broccoli with almonds. My friend got the portabello burger with roasted root veggies. They were both great. The staff was nice, there are a lot of delicious-sounding options, it's in cute downtown Mystic, there's outside seating and parking, and the prices are appropriate.

Kate's Cafe - Edit
I was visiting my grandparents over the weekend and was very happy to discover this new vegan cafe in downtown Mystic. I ate lunch their twice and both times everything was delicious. There's a grab-and-go case for sandwiches and drinks, or you can sit down and order breakfast or lunch (not open for dinner). The have simple, but good food and great coffee. I had the BBQ tempeh wrap and curried chickpea wrap and my boyfriend had the open-faced taco. We wanted to try the waffle panini, but didn't indulge... Next time!
