Wayward Vegan Cafe

This place has a huge selection of vegan options. Every non-vegan friend or family member i have brought here has said "this is vegan?" with that said, for a vegan accustomed to fresh produce and and a light touch, this restaurant is a vegan "comfort food haven." Another way to put that is gut-bomb heaven. A lot of the food is what you would expect from the usual breakfast diner + vegan flair. Totally worth the meal...just keep the eyes smaller than the stomach.

Our go-to place almost anytime we go out! We've sampled a majority of the menu items, I've enjoyed everything but my most favorite things are the MOZZARELLA WEDGES! Like seriously so good, you must try them! Another favorite is the country fried seitan breakfast. It's one of the best things I've ever had, the hashbrowns are bomb and so is the tofu scramble. And of course the seitan was sooooo good, with lots of gravy!! Nothing better! My husband loves the chick'n parm sandwich and the Chico vegan melt. I also love the spirit burger, the fettuccini alfredo, the chiggen wrap... so much more, everything we've had has been great. The service is usually great, even when they're busy. We waited 25 minutes to get a seat on President's Day and it was well worth it! Prices are very good, too, we can eat there for around $30 for 2 people, including an appetizer and tip.

really cool vegan diner with an amazing selection for brunch and breakfast. Came here on a weekend trip - had the buffalo wings and omelette with tempeh which were both very good. The buffalo wings were amazing - and made with tofu for those that don't like the faux meat texture (it was kind of like the bean curd texture). Good service and friendly staff.

So many options on the menu! Wayward has delicious food. I tried the ex-benedict which includes an egg-like patty, vegan faux meat of some sauce (I think ham?) and hollandaise sauce with a side of hashed browns. The sauce really made the meal! Delicious.

I have been going to wayward for around 14 years or so and this place became my favorite vegan restaurant after the ownership change (to the current owners). Over the years and through the location changes, it has only gotten better an better. Whenever I am in town, though I frequent most of the other vegan spots in town as well, Wayward is always #1 on my list.

There's so many wonderful things to try it seems unfair to have to choose a few. Definitely bring a buddy and half everything!(:

This place is AWESOME. Big menu, lots of options and everything is served all day. We had the Tempeh Tantrum and the Country Bumpkin. All delicious. Their tofu scramble was quite possibly the best I'd ever had. Portions were generous too. We would've loved to have dessert as well, but didn't due to time constraints. Well, next time for sure!

We loved this place! Big menu full of too many choices! Good kid options, and breakfast served anytime. The carrot cake was the highlight- the best one I have ever had. I wish I lived closer to frequent this place!

What a great place to eat. Many options and very great service. We had the Avocado Omelet which was outstanding. Wish they were closer to home.

Whenever we find ourselves in Seattle, we try to hit at least one or two new vegetarian places from the many available options. Wayward has just become a new favorite! We got there just as it was opening on a Saturday morning, and within half an hour the place was packed. Their menu is huge. I ordered the chicken fried steak, a tofu scramble, and a short stack of banana pancakes. The steak was a little oily but very tasty. The tofu scramble was just plain awesome -- incredibly flavorful. The pancakes were enormous, and I was pleased that they were made with whole wheat flour; my only minor complaint was that they were slightly undercooked on the inside while slightly overcooked on the outside. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and the prices were reasonable. We left completely stuffed and satisfied, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

Great tasting vegan comfort food! Big portions, I like that the coffees endless, clean, nice staff and atmosphere. However, they don't

I was visiting family in Seattle and they took us here! I first saw the beautifully designed interior, and it was very busy! We were seated right away.
I ordered scrambled egg, ham tempeh, and hashbrowns with cheese, green onion, and sour cream! It was true comfort food I hadn't had in a while, and so filling! The servers were attentive and polite! Defiantly coming back next time I'm in Seattle. ;)

Was on vacation on Seattle with a list of veg restaurants to try. Couldn't stop going back to this one though. The breakfasts here are unsurpassed and, since they serve all day, we sampled a bit of the menu. The brown rice pancakes rocked, as did the "omelets" and the club breakfast sandwich. They were happy to leave added salt off my orders so modifications are accommodated. We recognized the owner from the Happy Cow cookbook and said hello.Obvious that the place is a labor of love and it comes through. Would recommend to non-vegs too.

I always have to get Biscuits and Gravy here! They're delicious! Most of the food here is fattening and fried, great for hangovers! They're good at what they do, but it's not an everyday place for me. Too many mock meats and fried things. Service is hit or miss.

I love the new location, it is clean, trendy and just looks nice. I visited with my husband and two children (4 and 8 months). The staff was nice, not overly nice, but nice. There are four separate bathrooms, and all were clean. The upstairs area is nice. They had coloring books and legos that had been washed!!! I ordered the breakfast burrito, as I always do, and it was delicious, as usual. Ended up with most of it for lunch the next day (which is a win). My husband got a burger with a meat-like patty. He really enjoyed it. We ordered a plate of fried goodness-sweet potato fries, fried tofu and OMFG mozzarella sticks!!! The ranch was super drippy but the mozzarella sticks were amazing. My only issue was that when the server came to clear our plates, she was holding someone else's dirty plates and cups, which she put down on our table in front of my son. It would have been nicer to just take them five feet to the kitchen so we didn't have to look at anyone else's old food. Regardless, we will be back.

Wayward Vegan Cafe is a vegan haven right off the I-5 at the North end of Seattle. Parking is right in front, or across the road there is a large parking lot. This is a small cafe with a great little balcony section on a second floor. Small wood tables that seat 2 to 4 people. The staff are welcoming and attentive. The menu has a great selection for breakfast lunch and dinner. The entire back of the menu offers gluten-free options that are flavorful and satisfying. We visited Wayward for both breakfast and dinner and both times the food was delicious. Prices were amazing considering the huge amount of food you get. The food in a nutshell is delicious and I would highly recommend this to anyone heading to Seattle or on their way to Portland.

More than enough food ... and then some. The chiggen fried steak, with the all time number one best potato pancakes (aka cheesy potato goodness), was amazing!

My family goes to Wayward Vegan Café so we can have a nice family meal together (my parents lived in Federal Way, Des Moines, and Kent and we live in Downtown Seattle) and we have done that for years starting at their last location. Wayward Vegan Café has moved to their new location and it is bigger and has a second floor. Everyone that works at Wayward is so nice and can do substitutions; they even have a whole page of gluten free items on their menu. The variety of dishes on the menu is amazing and everything I’ve tried is delicious. Excellent place to get a hearty vegan meal and definitely better than the fast food versions, I have nothing to complain about and only good words.
