The Wayside is my favorite vegan restaurant in Olympia. I get the Dip and mashed potatoes and gravy on the side šŸ˜ I went for my birthday this weekend and they so happened to have birthday cake in their sweets selection! Just a happy coincidence, but it was amazing! Their milkshake machine was down when I went, unfortunately. I guess I’ll just have to go back again soon šŸ™ƒ

Delicious—a great place to meet for lunch. The menu is mostly sandwiches and sides. The atmosphere is very casual.

We ate dinner outside here and it was delicious!! One of the best meals we've had recently. We got the buffalo chicken and mac & cheese to share. The portions were generous and it wasn't too expensive either. Really excellent flavor on both items. Great service. We will definitely be back!
Edit: we have gone back more times than I can count and it just keeps getting better. You have to try the five spice chicken. So yummy.

Today I found happiness with the Buffalo Chickin Sandwich. Each day is a journey and finding happiness in food versus alcohol is a better day. Thank you!

Their food is ridiculously good. I’m not vegetarian or vegan, my wife is. And I consistently eat half her food when she gets it.

The sandwhiches are so tasty. The cauliflower wings are the best I’ve ever had. The trifecta for 3 sides (mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, and creamed corn)? Wow.

And they’re always so friendly! Dine in, take out… just give them a try. I’m always delighted.

This has to be the best vegan food I’ve ever had! I’ve been vegan for 10 years, so I’ve tried a lot.

The buffalo cauliflower wings are incredible. All of the sandwiches are delicious. Not to mention you can’t go wrong with any of the sides.

The best part is taking my non vegan family here, and hearing them rave about how great the food is.

Love that this place is vegan! Im dairy-free and finding pastries and baked goodies is so hard. The Oreo cookie cake I had was out of this world!! I also loved the mac and cheese. Absolutely obsessed and will go back :)

So happy to find this place! I had the rice and bean bowl with soy curls. The green sauce was so good! Portions are large - I probably could split the bowl with a pal. The desserts looked excellent. Very fast friendly service and a fun downtown atmosphere.

Go-to spot for vegan comfort food. The Large Marge and the Norma are popular go-to dishes. The macaroni is a popular choice!

the food here is SOOOO GOOD! It's a vegan cafƩ but im not even a vegetarian and I love to eat here. The mashed potatoes and gravy are my go-to for yummy comfort food, with a glass of wine of course. The Large Marge buffalo salad is my daughter's fave! It's a groovy joint where everyone feels comfortable:) Check it out!

Whenever we visit family in Olympia we make multiple trips to Wayside. I look forward to it every time. Everything I've tried here has been fantastic. My go-to is usually one of their sandwiches, always something new to try! And be make sure to save room for dessert. Even if you are not vegan, you will love them!
