I had the pesto breakfast sandwich and it came out fast, hot, and so sticky I had would have wondered if the cheese was vegan. Impressive! Kind but distracted counter service, but the place is about as cheap as vegan food in Seattle gets so it’s all good.

We enjoyed our lunch at Cafe Red, especially the mac and cheese! The menu is small, but what we had was very good. We were surprised though that we couldn’t customize anything - it sounds like they pre-make everything. The outdoor seating was spacious and warm!

Got the masala chai which was fine, not very flavorful. Also got the bacon breakfast sandwich which was tasty. Be warned, it is served very hot! Ate on the patio which was nice, since it's on the other side of the building away from the main street is not too busy/loud though you can still hear the light rail when it goes by. Outdoor patio has heaters for when it's cold. There is a small amount of seating inside. Bathroom was clean and spacious.

We came in for breakfast and while the food and service were both good, I was very upset to see a small Palestinian flag displayed at the counter, right in plain view of customers. I came here to enjoy a meal, not to be confronted with political symbolism that, especially in today’s climate, feels deeply one sided and inappropriate. If the message were truly about peace or solidarity, including an Israeli flag alongside it might have conveyed that. But displaying only one flag sends a very clear message, and it’s one I want no part of. I won’t be returning to any establishment that chooses to inject this kind of political statement into what should be a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone. Very poor judgment.

Great little place with delicious breakfast sandwiches and excellent coffee. Will be back to try their other items such as breakfast burritos.

The staff is awesome!! This lil Leftie feels v welcome there. But to the point: When i say the Mac n Chz is the best vegan m&c i've ever had...It's perfect. 15/10 no notes. I'm kind of a snob re: mac 'n chz, and this is the creamiest, tastiest, most spot-on! My partner had a b-fast sammie and said it was delicious (he added a hash brown patty avocado).
Drinks are awesome and it's great to know they all come vegan right off the bat you can still change the vegan milk to a different kind if you want. Patio is awesome! Street parking is behind the restaurant.

Absolutely love the food and I’m not even vegan! The people are really nice as well with a chill vibe inside ;) the peanut butter cookies are phenominal!
Dietary restrictions: Amazing vegan food!
Parking: Chase Bank down the street has a lot when they’re closed. You can get away with a short visit. Otherwise park on the street behind the café if you can find a spot.

This is one of the crown jewels of the neighborhood. The coffee is so great, and they have continuously updated the back patio and now it is such a chill and wonderful place to hang out any time of day. Lots of options for all kinds of dietary restrictions and preferences.

Delicious vegan cafe. There’s limited seating inside but a lot more seating in the heated patio. It can get crowded in the small space during the morning rush. The food and coffee is delicious and I love the loyalty program.
