Best Vegan Restaurants in Kirkland

"While plenty of the spots on our list regularly focus on one particular style of food, Cafe Flora has grown a fandom for having a large variety of culinary adventures under the same roof. Cafe Flora is also part of the Flora family, which runs a small vegetarian eatery in the Seattle Airport called Floret, and a vegetarian and vegan option bakery on Beacon Hill called The Flora Bakehouse. Location: 2901 E Madison Street, SeattlePhone: 206-325-9100Facebook | Twitter | Instagram"

"The city’s vegetarian standard-bearer since 1991, Cafe Flora has also mastered the art of vegan and gluten-free indulgence. Brunchers linger over veg scrambles, rosemary biscuits obscured by savory vegan gravy and the famed cinnamon rolls (also vegan). Even devout carnivores appreciate the artful ingredient interplay in hearty lunch and dinner plates, not to mention the plant-filled atrium."

"A vegan, gluten-free Valentine’s dinner box comes with four festive courses, from taro chips and butternut pate to artichoke croquettes and grilled squash, to a “chocolate tower” for dessert. Add on cocktails or wine pairings. The kitchen’s only prepping 250 boxes, so preorder online."

"Plum Bistro gets its name from the Japanese plum blossoms; as the first to bloom before winter has even melted into spring, they symbolize perseverance, hope, and new beginnings. Using this philosophy is how the restaurant approaches veganism. Making it more accessible, they hope to spread awareness of just how delicious a plant-based diet can be in order to promote a more sustainable interaction between humans and the Earth."

"If you're going to try only one vegan restaurant in Seattle, make it Plum Bistro. Offering truly innovative and delicious dishes such as Black Truffle Gnocchi and Tempeh Vermouth, you'd be hard pushed to find a plant-based menu that would impress more. Be warned, it comes with a slightly steeper price tag, but the food is worth the indulgence."

"Capitol Hill’s vegan restaurant from celebrated chef Makini Howell is as versatile as it is magnificent. Some of the biggest hits include “chicken” fried seitan, a mac ’n’ cheese spin called Mac & Yease, and sweet potato gnocchi. Takeout orders go through Toast, delivery is available via Caviar and Doordash, and there’s limited onsite dining."

"Fine dining and vegan food haven’t exactly seen eye to eye, but this inviting and inventive restaurant in an old storefront on 45th may change that thanks to their constantly changing five-course prix fixe dinners with dishes like celeriac ravioli in an apple wood smoked carrot sage fennel sauce, and Tiramisu made with Theo's chocolate mousse."

"Wayward Vegan Cafe serves a variety of counter-services vegan meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Inspired by the American style diner, Vegan Wayward Cafe offers vegan versions of diner classics. As a vegan restaurant, they don't serve seafood, but we love the Sunrise Poutine with fresh mushroom gravy!"

"But seriously, this chocolate cream pie will leave you in a daze of dreaming for more. Rather than just asking for a slice of the pie, I assure you that you will be asking for the ENTIRE pie. Just look at the drool-worthy whipped cream and buttery pie crust."

"An entirely vegan ice cream and cookie shop first launched inside a mobile VW bus is newly open in brick-and-mortar form on Greenwood and 74th. There's a delicious coconut milk ice cream base and a huge range of baked and frozen treats made in house, so stop in for the adorable Milk & Cookies Happy Hour, Tuesday to Friday 3 to 5 p.m."

"There is nothing that says comfort food better than cookies and ice cream put together. The Seattle Cookie Counter truck does this invention justice with its creative and wacky flavors, some of which are Pistachio Marshmallow Pineapple, Cinnamon Toast Cereal, Honey Almond Fig, and Matcha Vanilla Bean."

"The hunt for guilt-free pizza is officially over thanks to Pizza Pi, the very first 100% vegan pizzeria in the country. While most people might cringe at the thought of vegan pizza, the local community of Seattle seems to think otherwise as the pizzeria is now over 13 years old and still enjoys lots of love and care from their customers. Committed to conscientious and healthy eating, the pizzeria offers various appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and calzones in addition to their specialty pies."

"America's Oldest Vegan Pizzeria” moved a few blocks to a new location on Roosevelt Way, but thankfully they've got the same old menu, highlighted by their Mac 'N' Cheese Pizza topped with white garlic sauce, their house made Mac 'n' Cheese & Canadian bacon, and more classic options like a Margarita with sun-dried tomatoes & roasted garlic."

"Another University District gem is that of Pi Vegan Pizzeria, a cozy neighborhood joint for, you guessed it, vegan pizza under simple digs. Enjoy pies showered in white garlic sauce, vegan cheese and plenty of veggies."

"The Emerald City divvies out a gargantuan Thai scene, and no vegan is left out of the mix. Kati Vegan Thai around South Lake Union is a very popular eatery for all things jackfruit stir fry, red curry speckled with bamboo shoots and pineapple fried rice. Heartbeet Organic Superfoods Cafe: The Queen Anne vegan vendor doles out dependably fresh and organic ingredients, so you can drink and dine knowing their emphasis on a healthy Heartbeet is legit."

"Seattle has several other great vegan Thai options, but this bright addition to the South Lake Union dining scene sets the bar with light, creative takes on classic dishes. From fresh garden rolls to pad see-ew, flavors pop, and the desserts, including coconut mango delight and coconut fancy, are a star attraction. View this post on Instagram"

"There are several plant-based Thai restaurants in Seattle, but in my opinion Kati Vegan Thai is the best. The atmosphere is delightful, with an airy and well-designed restaurant not far from Seattle's Capitol Hill. Kati offers both a lunchtime buffet and a full service evening menu alongside cocktails."

"This welcoming U District spot serves classic health-conscious vegan fare — quinoa and rice bowls, salads, soups, and sandwiches — with an emphasis on locally-grown ingredients. Diners can find the same menu at Broadfork’s Lower Queen Anne location. Both are open for takeout and delivery via DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GrubHub."

"With a location in the University District and another nearby at the Seattle Center, Broadfork Café is similar to that of HeartBeet for its casual café fare and juice blends. The organic eatery divvies out veggie cheeseburgers, hummus wraps and house-made soups. Featured here, barbecue sweet potato with arugula and pecans."

"If you still have energy, return downtown to see the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall or a rock band at the Showbox. To get downtown from Belltown, hop on a southbound Route 1, 2, 3, or 4 bus from the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Vine St. Exit at 3rd Ave. and Union St."

"The gist: London Plane co-owner Yasuako Saiton brought a few of his former employees back into the fold with this gorgeous new spot on Portage Bay. The eclectic mix of breakfast and lunch foods mixes Japanese sandwiches, German meats, and Scandanavian sweets.The food: The breakfast sandwich on melonpan shows off how simplicity makes for the best food, but the lunch sandwiches offer more variety, along with pastries and salads.The cost: Pastries run $3 - $6, the breakfast sandwich with cheese is $8, and the menu tops out at $11.How to order: Currently counter ordering only, with outdoor patio seating."

"This new Portage Bay bakery perched on the Jensen Marina — complete with a striking stained-glass window — has a wide variety of influences, from Scandinavian pastries to Japanese snacks, like okonomiyaki tortillas, alongside roasts from Australian coffee company Proud Mary. Meanwhile, the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on melonpan is already generating some buzz as a standout. Open for takeout and limited seating on the outdoor patio."

"Stained glass-lit Saint Bread is a shrine to carbs at Portage Bay. Though the bakery doesn’t serve a dedicated brunch, there’s certainly no rule against late-morning weekend gorging on smoked trout toast, okonomiyaki tortillas, and all manner of pastries: cardamom knots, chocolate croissants, and coffee cake — just a few of the standouts, not to mention the excellent steamed egg sandwich on melonpan.

"website | delivery radius: nationwide | best for: Classic cookies and cookie dough. Customers kept asking for one item from Brooke’s catering company menu: her cookies. She realized people loved her recipes for nostalgic cookie flavors like chocolate chip, so she decided to spin off a company named after her daughter."

"KEXP at Seattle Center hosts the audio and video broadcasting studios of renowned Seattle public radio station KEXP, known as a major national alternative and independent rock radio station and concert operator. Visitors can explore the station's facilities at the Seattle Center as part of free guided tours, offered daily to the public at 2:00pm. The center's Light in the Attic Record Store carries exclusive KEXP releases and hard-to-find albums from thousands of independent music labels, while its La Marzocco Cafe and Showroom showcases rotating curated specialty coffees from around the world presented by coffee roasters throughout Seattle."

"The Seattle Center has the most concentrated stash of kid-friendly activities, including the professional Seattle Children’s Theater and the Children’s Museum, which is great for under 10s. In the summer, balloon-twisters, singers and dancers entertain the crowds alfresco. Aside from the interesting and educational permanent displays, the Pacific Science Center has some excellent touring exhibits."

"Seattle Center, roughly 74 acres in size, is a popular entertainment district. It is home to some of the cities most iconic and well-loved tourist attractions."

"Officially the highest public observatory in the Northwest, the Sky View Observatory offers visitors a less-traveled public viewing area 1,000 feet up in the sky. Located on the 73rd floor of the Columbia Center in the Central Business District, the 360-degree panoramic view includes the Cascade Mountains, Mount Baker, Elliot Bay, the Olympic Mountains, Mount Rainier, the city of Seattle, and, of course, the Space Needle."

"Located in the Columbia Center of downtown Seattle, the Sky View Observatory is one of the lesser-known tourist spots of Seattle. It attracts smaller crowds than places like the Space Needle, and it isn’t as expensive. It’s perfect for visitors who like throwing away their travel guides to try new things and explore new places."
