50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Mercer Island

“Update: went back and the fries we great again! Thanks for listening.

I’m really glad Haps reopened, as it’s a true Mercer Island treasure. That said, the fries I just had, which used to be great, were some of the worst I’ve ever had. They tasted like someone had just microwaved a batch that had been made hours ago. I really hope this is a one-off experience.“

“Great spot! Enjoyed Happy Hour very much. Aperol Spritz, Margherita Pizza, Arugula Salad & House Red Wine all great! Service was excellent and attentive. Will be back for sure.“

“one of the best pizzas ive ever had, it was delivered fast and hot“

“Thank you Blake for all your help and good energy. You represent this company very well and deserve to be taken care of. The sandwiches are wonderful and you genuinely care about the people. Your very informative as well and know everything about this business“

“Best Mac n Cheese in the city!“

“Absolutely charming little spot serving fresh, perfectly seasoned dishes that are sure to please. Excellent and knowledgeable staff can make recommendations from the ever-changing menu based on your tastes, and it's easy to have almost any dish modified to be vegetarian or vegan. Perusing the tasting notes on the wine wall is a nice way to pass the time - great prices on the take-home bottles. If you're on a budget (and I usually am), grab a snack or two. Otherwise, try a little of everything!“

“I had a hard time deciding what to order from the menu because everything sounded so amazing. Went with the Albuquerque crunch wrap and it surpassed any expectations I could have had for it. I’m sure the rest of the menu follows suit. Highly recommend trying this place“

“Great coffee to start with. Thx for Combo plate recommendation. Tofu scramble flavor was very good. Biscuit were not dry and dense. So far best vegan biscuit and gravy for me. Egg Benedict assembly is insta worthy. Thier Hot sauce with potatoes kicks the brunch a notch up in flavors. Have to visit back for Rueben and dinner and drinks.“

“This was a real treat. I felt utterly pampered and loved every second. Super fresh, local or foraged ingredients, treated with love and care. Beautiful restaurant, relaxing vibes, incredibly clean kit“

“This is such a great place for anyone looking for some fantastic vegetarian/plant-based options. As someone who typically prefers meat dishes, I still thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. The tacos are the traditional, soft & small tacos, and we found that 2-3 tacos with the rice and beans was plenty each.“

“I’d previously ordered take out at Vital but finally went for dine-in and had a blast last Saturday! We went around lunchtime and had margaritas (that came in buckets 😅) and a tofu dish that was soooo yummy. We had a leisurely lunch and no one made us feel bad for hanging out for a bit. The menu is extensive and there are so many things I still want to try, so we will definitely be back!“

“The Parmesan, Pesto & Tomato Crumpet 😍“

“This is one of Seattle’s best Italian restaurants. You won’t be disappointed.“

They have outdoor seating in front to enjoy in the summer time.“

“I was in town for a special event, I haven't been here before and was amazed with every aspect of my experience. our server Charles was utterly fabulous. he was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and prompt. he made it feel like we were old friends. the steaks were perfectly cooked. I am 4 and 1/2 years sober, and to go out and enjoy an exquisite meal and only drink water can be a drag, but you all had an amazing selection of mocktails, my partners and I enjoyed immensely. I took the time to thank Charles for everything and got to meet Justin, letting him know how wonderful everything was. this will definitely be a regular stop anytime I visit.“

“You gotta be outta your mind if you haven’t tried their ice cream. Best in the PNW. Great flavors and it’s vegan as well! Yep I said the “V” word. I guarantee you won’t find any better ice cream then theirs. I’m hooked! ❤️“

“Fantastic eats, lovely vibe, stellar service. Highly recommend.“

“I love this place! I order custom blend juice with strawberries, blueberries and mangoes, it was so fresh and smooth. I appreciate they don’t use plastic cups and when you bring back mason jar, you get discount off on your next order. Thank you so much Jay, you were very hospitable and we will definitely be back!“

“The food is always very good. We come here every time we’re in town to visit our husky at UW. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A bit pricey.“

“Cool bathroom. Nice location. Friendly staff. I didn’t have a drink but was told they were pretty good. Portions are large. Vegan selections are limited.“

“One of the few truly tasty places in Seattle. The smell first caught my attention, and the food did not disappoint when I went in. It is a spicy flavor explosion. With this right next to my light rail stop, I worry I will soon be broke and fat.“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“The food was phenomenal! Authentic, flavorful and so delicious. My mind was blown the whole night. Their mocktails and sweet tea are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Hands down, the best pho you’ll find in Seattle! This place is killing it! I’m incredibly lucky to live in the neighborhood and I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. We were one of their first guests in those early days and eat here so much the owners know me by name! If I were qualified to give food awards, this place would win my 2024 Best of Seattle award! 🥇👏🏻✨ Ps. They do not accept reservations - it’s first come first serve. Around 6pm, they go on a waitlist and a line starts to form outside. Don’t bother calling to get on the waitlist - they won’t even do that for me! You have to show up in person to get on the list.“
