We really enjoyed this place! Delicious comfort foods like a vegan Club sandwich, the Albuquerque Crunchwrap, and their pasta dishes are nice too. I enjoyed this place the last time I was in Seattle (10 years ago!) and again the other day, and it is still excellent. They have an extensive vegan menu so I hope to come back a few times to try everything!😄 The staff was very friendly and helpful, and our order was perfect. We enjoyed this meal at Green Lake Park picnic tables. We visited in June 2021 and they were not open for dine-in.

Only available for takeout right now which was slightly disappointing but the food was amazing. My Omni friend loved the french toast and the biscuits were a highlight for me. I wish the kale had been better seasoned throughout (not just the top layer). Overall a wonderful place with fantastic food.

Flavorful!! The garden Benedict is so good such unique flavors. Portions are big. Sustainable togo boxes. All vegan. So many choices.

I have mixed feelings about Wayward. I think they are definitely worth multiple tries if you are vegan in Seattle! I keep trying new items on their menu and am never wowed but Im also not necessarily disappointed. They have a LOT of options which I like, though I wonder if that is also their downfall - jack of all trades, master of none. I find the food to be very rich, which is honestly impressive for a vegan restaurant! It could just be my palate. Overall, worth a try or two but not my favorite vegan spot in the city.

Found this place when my friends visited back in May & I’ve been coming here ever since! I try to get a new item every time I order & they’ve all been delicious. I couldn’t recommend this place more! Staff is super friendly, your order is ready quick & they have to go nooch, hot sauce, s&p packets, utensils, etc. Best vegan comfort food around

The food here is so bland. I had to check my sense of smell after trying the breakfast club to make sure I didnt have covid because it literally had no flavor. Dry too. Pretty impressive for a sandwich with so many components. I had to try them all separately to get any flavor. The tempeh bacon tastes vaguely of liquid smoke, egg patty just tastes like turmeric, and the tofu ham had no flavor.Really disappointing. I used to get their mc muffin copycat, which was great, but they took it off the menu with their last update and send they no longer have the canadian bacon anymore at all. Probably covid supply issues, but so sad nonetheless because it seems like they dont have any good replacements and now none of their breakfast meals are worth gettingThey have some good appetizers, but most of their dinner and lunch isnt worth getting either because quality is so inconsistent. Ive gotten crunchwraps still cold in the middle, food undercooked/overcooked, and sometimes some of their sauces taste like someone tripled the salt. Food is not cheap either. Sucks to waste so much money on a bad meal

Literally one of the best meals (vegan or not) that Ive ever had in my life. The benedict is TO DIE FOR and the biscuits and gravy were some of the best Ive ever had. If youre vegan, or if youre not, do yourself a favor and go to this place. It is incredible.

Absolutely incredible! Good here is top notch. It might be the best in Seattle for vegan options.

Fantastic food and quick service! We were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this gem. Food was out of this world and the portions were HUUUUGE! Vegan food can be awesome and this place is the proof!!

This used to be my favorite Seattle vegan restaurant, hands down. Ive been to all of their many locations throughout the years (decades).The quality of the food in the last 2 years has significantly decreased. Its too bad. They also got rid of the most of their good menu items in favor of trendy, mediocre options rather than the timeless classics people go to a diner to eat.Ive stopped bothering. And now to find theyre closed multiple days a week. Well. I knew vegan restaurants in Seattle were going the way of the dinosaur; this just proves it. The new options that keep cropping up arent good either.Guess Ill move to Portland.

The food was delicious. It took a while because I think they are one of many places understaffed at the moment. But the person working killed it and I hope she has a great day. Some of the best straightforward tofu I’ve ever had. Also love the kimchi grilled cheese.

The food was very good. Lots of great vegan options, and reasonable prices. The staff was kind and the restaurant was very clean and organized.

My home fries were pretty burnt... but the crunch wrap was pretty tasty.

I loved it! I was hesitant to give this place a try at first since the food did not look too pleasing from the photos. however, the food might not be the healthiest (for vegan food) but it sure hit home! I cant find what I had on their online menu but it was a muffin sandwich with a slice of grilled tofu, cheese, and sausage. Not going to lie, it tasted like the McDonalds Egg McMuffin *which I miss!*. We also had the pancake (tasted exactly how my mom made it when I was a child).The Biscuit and Gravy combo were not that good. Too dry and lacked flavor but I was told by my partner that the Tots-In-A-Blanket Burrito was excellent.The best way to start this breakfast is with their vegan White Russian! Delicious.

Always love the food here. Only complaints are the tofu scramble is just depressingly devoid of love and flavor, and the BBQ sauce is too sweet. That aside GREAT food GREAT atmosphere. Service is always friendly. So many guilty pleasures and healthy options too. Vegan or not this place is good, hearty. Highly recommend.

Fantastically safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. easy to find for the out-of-towners looking for amazing vegan fare. Friendly and informative staff. A great local place to grab vegan grub ❤️ my go-to is the Mac Daddy when I am craving that juicy goodness of a vegan burger.

Im honestly surprised that this place doesnt have 5 stars! The first time I tried to come here, there was a line out the door so we decided to cut our losses and head somewhere else instead- now I see why this cafe is so popular. I ordered the sunshine omlette and I dont know what I expected, but my first impression is that I was surprised by how much it looked just like real eggs. The sauces that are used to flavor it are literally perfect and it tasted great! I enjoyed it so much that I ordered the chicken and waffles to take home as well. As a southerner I didnt have high hopes for anything even reminiscent of chicken and waffles in this city let alone a vegan version but honestly I was very impressed! It didnt taste like chicken but it tasted *good* and thats more than I hoped for and expected out of a dish like that.As for the service, it was just as good. I think that we arrived in the middle of a shift change so both of the servers who attended to our table were so courteous and attentive. If this spot were closer to West Seattle I would gain 10lbs within a month tops.

MY FAVORITE SEATTLE VEGAN PLACE, hands down. ultimate comfort food destination. love their biscuits and gravy and the breakfast club :)

Vegans rejoice, but even if youre an omni you will find the food delicious and the service friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and several innovative menu selections. Brunch is a speciality. The Break of Dawn Crunch Wrap, the Tots-In-A-Blanket Burrito, and the pancakes are always a hit.

Ordered takeout in the restaurant, person who took our order didnt say how long it would take for our order to be ready and just said theyll shoot us a text when its ready. Didnt take my number but figured they might have gotten it from my card somehow?My partner and I walked around waiting for a text, came back to the restaurant 20 min later and still no text. I look in the window and see 2 orders sitting there. When I looked closer, it was actually our order, just sitting there. No text, nothing. Who knows how long it had been sitting there.I dont make a fuss because Im not that kind of person but it was pretty annoying to pick up our food that had just been sitting there. We took the food and immediately went to our car to eat it. My breakfast order was lukewarm. Not only that but the muffin in my eggs Benedict was tough and the food was honestly not that good. Its a shame because I have no way of knowing if the food would have been better if it was fresh.I believe in supporting vegan businesses 100% but this place ranks as nowhere near the best vegan place Ive been to.

Had the Infamous Bowl which was a first for me I usually get the Mack Daddy. Greatest! Thats the best way to put it, you guys food is amazing. I recommend you to everyone I meet.

This restaurant is incredible. When we first walked in and saw how big the menu was and that we could eat every option we were overjoyed, then perplexed at what amazing food we should try!We ended up getting the Farmers hash and the Tots in a blanket burrito. These were incredible. Some of the best food we have had.A must if you are in this area, hell if you are in Seattle! I am sad I cannot eat here every day!@wanderlustmoonduo

They’ve switched to pickup/delivery only due to WA lockdown situation. We tried the pickup option yesterday and it was super smooth. Ordered over the phone and food was hot and ready in only 15min. Order was accurate and pickup process was streamlined and easy.And it almost goes without saying that the food was absolutely amazing as always 💯🤤

Love the place. Been here a ton of times. I hope they make it through covid. Please support.

The southern comfort sandwich is back! Might get it spicy next time 💯

We come to Wayward often on Sunday for brunch. Its always busy if we wait too long(try to get there before noon if you dont want to wait on Sunday - its a popular spot!), but we always decide its worth the wait.The staff is always friendly and weve always experienced great service.On to the food: does it get better than a heaping plate of pancakes and hash browns? Its enough to put a smile on my face just thinking about it. Comfort food at its absolute best is what youll find here. Try the Breakfast Club or the Steak Breakfast. For lunch, the Reuben and Philly are favorites in this house.Stop in, bring friends, enjoy the hip new setting(they recently expanded from a small location to this new one) with tall ceilings, the same great food with a cozy diner-feel, and a beautiful array of customers.PS- parking is super easy. Big parking lot right across the street.PPS- dont be like me and think that the Wayward Coffee place up the street is related to this place and come strolling in with your latte. Theyre not related. Drink your latte outside.

Pancakes here are the best!!Also many other good options. Huge menu!Great for gluten free folks as well.

As a non-vegan I did not much care for the food. Staff was very friendly service was great! But I dislike the menu that tries to fake it by offering vegan equivalents of typical American breakfast. I dont see how a curry tofu scramble is any replacement for scrambled eggs. Pancakes were flat and just not great. While I applaud an all vegan restaurant and do feel quality was high this is not a place I would return to as a meat eater. I can see that it would be a great option for a serious no animal products person. I would suggest the menu be clarified and updated. I would want to know exactly what flavors Im in for when ordering. I also think they should try to find an identity with food instead of trying to replace typical meat breakfasts.

Great vegan food! Robust menu, I had a hard time deciding what to eat because of all the delicious choices.Well be back for breakfast tomorrow ❤️Edit: we did go back! The breakfast food was delicious! This is my new favorite stop in Seattle. ✌️Great music, very friendly staff. Prompt service and delicious food...there is literally nothing more to ask for

This place is amazing!! Its hard to find decent vegan fare where we live so we make the drive down to Seattle regularly to eat here! My personal favorite is the strawberry cheesecake French toast or the loaded hadbrowns with avocado and hollandaise slathered on top. Its seriously so incredibly good.

This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants! There are so many options! Their food makes even non-vegans impressed. I love this place so much and come here every time I am in Seattle. If you are in the area you have to come try their food, whether you are vegan or not. This food is seriously top notch!

What a lovely cafe. We went for breakfast after looking at their menu online. While the menu looked great, the food was even better. I got the Farmers Hash. Totally loved it. Great food, great service, good location and ambiance.

Great for dine or take out (which seems to be the only option ) ! Always good options

Try the buffalo chicken sandwich! Take out only. Support small businesses!

The food at this Cafe is so yummy. My bf and I were vacationing in Seattle and had a lot of people recommended this restaurant and we werent disappointed. We dont have any vegan restaurants where were from, so it was really cool being able to order something other than potatoes for breakfast! Also the staff there is so kind. 10/10

We ordered the crunch wrap and garden Benedict - I wouldn’t recommend either. I got two bites in and couldn’t eat anymore because it didn’t taste good. My husband ate the Benedict (it’s a giant tofu block) and has now has a belly ache. Very disappointed.

BEST Hot Chocolate I’ve EVER HAD!!!Incredibly friendly staff, a great atmosphere, great seating arrangements.. we love this special find by Green Lake. We came here for a hot drink and some dinner after a walk around the Lake. The coffee is great, the hot chocolate is such a gem in a cup! Love love love! Will be back!

Be smart, eat here!Had the tacos with ranch and hippie sandwich on gluten free bread.Oh and a piece of chocolate pie. Of course I split it all with my sweety. That would be way too much food for one person.The brothers are a dynamic duo.Cheers

I was so excited to try this place out for the first time, and boy was it a good one. There were so many options that I’m usually not used to on a menu, so it took me a lot of time to figure out what I wanted. I ended up ordering a beef stroganoff with mushroom gravy, and my table split cheesy bacon fries. The fries were really yummy. My main plate was very rich in flavor, and honestly I was not a big fan. The meat substitute was very spongy, but I usually am not a fan of copy cat substitutes anyways. The rest of my table enjoyed the food, it looks like the chicken substitute is out of this world! Give it a try.

Wayward Vegan is a godsend in Seattle. It’s one of the first places I direct visitors to, whether they’re vegan or a carnivore. This restaurant has an extensive menu, and many options are also gluten-free. They serve breakfast food all day, so you can have brunch for dinner. All portions are generous. The staff are also super helpful if you’re undecided on what to get (it is a big menu!). If you’re looking for delicious greasy diner food, then look no further.

Must stop for anyone in the area - especially any wayward vegans looking for a good place to stop. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend the French toast tempeh bacon breakfast sandwich.

Very good portions food was so tastyHighly recommended.

I forgot to take a pic of the apps sampler and the biscuits and gravy before we devoured most of it, oops!!! The food was amazing!! Side by side burgers are the Southern Belle and Mac Daddy. My taste buds were in heaven! Can you please open your next location in Sarasota, FL? Thanks!!

Delicious! Huge menu all vegan food. Staff is friendly fast and knowledgeable about what they are serving. Clean establishment. Fair prices.

An amazing vegan restaurant for the whole family. A very extensive menu, it’s always hard to choose - especially with the all day breakfast options! The waitstaff is always quick and friendly, it makes it easy for this to be a restaurant that I always return to.

I had the Ex-Benedict. It was good, but I kind of wish I tried the steak breakfast instead. It was slightly crowded when I visited. Parking was easy to find. We didnt have to wait for a table. The menu is expansive. We werent offered refills for our waters until after we had finished all of our food. The price wasnt bad. Presentation was better than I expected for the Ex-Benedict, but not for the fried chicken and waffles. This is a solid choice for brunch.Update: After my second visit, I think Wayward is five stars. The flavors are great. The staff is friendly. I cant complain.

Dear god this place is friggin’ delicious. It’s like a vegan hall pass. All your favorite comfort foods in vegan incarnations and soooo food. Hefty portions, friendly prompt service, a cozy atmosphere. We just found a new favorite place.

Incredible 100% vegan cafe. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day (woot woot!). Staff is amazingly friendly, and were helpful in navigating the HUGE menu. We couldnt get enough!

Not a big fan of vegan places that try to only replicate classic non vegetarian food (such as chicken, ham, etc). Loved the pepper mint white Russian cocktail and the chocolate pie dessert.

The Wayward Vegan Cafe is a diner style establishment that serves all day breakfast lunch and dinner (amazing!). The menu is quite extensive, possibly too long to be honest. I definitely reccomend looking at the menu in advance of going to the restaurant.We decided to order one item off the lunch menu and one off the breakfast menu. We got the country fried burrito and The Rich sandwich. The burrito probably could have filled both of us as one meal it was that huge! This is definitely not the place to go light on the calories. It was very delicious. The Rich sandwich had a fried mozzarella layer of cheese which I have to say was pretty awesome, and the burger appeared to be a beyond burger. I quite liked the side of Mac and cheese it came with and it was certainly one of the better vegan Mac and cheeses I have had.Highly reccomend for an indulgent meal out with friends!

I’ve been coming to this cafe since 2013. I no longer live in Seattle but always visit here when I’m in town & they never disappoint! I watched them grow from a tiny hole-in-the-wall place into a nice full service restaurant! Their food has only gotten better and better over the years & even my non-vegan friends love their food. Ps. The strawberries & cream French toast is to die for. So yummy! 🤤

We ordered the stroganoff, the MVC platter (fake chicken-fried steak and drumsticks), and the club sandwich, and all our selections were excellent. Prices were a bit high, but the serving sizes were HUGE. We all took leftovers with us. Highly recommended.

Amazing, delicious vegan comfort food!! Stopped here on our way into downtown Seattle on a road trip from Fraser Valley BC. Our food was so delicious we made plans to stop in again on our way back home from Portland a few days later! I wish this place was just a little bit closer to the border, I would cross weekly just to come here if I could

Amazing vegan place with a plethora of choices. Mainly American diner fare.

I love this cafe! I have been vegan for 5+ years and this is a solid vegan choice :)

The food was amazing. I had the biscuits and gravey combo. It was all fantastic. The tofu scramble was better than any ive had. It was nice and fluffy. The staff was also nice. Glad I found a good vegan restaurant that I can support, instead of ones that profit off of animal suffering.

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Seattle. If youre vegan and you love animals, this is the place for you. If youre not vegan and you just love excellent food, still go here. You wont be able to tell the difference, except that its way better than what youre used to!

Amazing vegan diner! The food is delicious and super heavy. The menu is huge and has all the comfort food you can think of.

It’s ok but nothing to come back too. The flavour very plan and they make up by adding much salt… very salty.

I always come here when I know I want a big hearty breakfast meal, they do all the classics veganized. Their lunch & dinner menu is all very yummy and filling as well.

Epic vegan restaurant for comfort foods. Packed on a Saturday a.m. so show up early.

Food was delicious. Not my first time visiting, and it certainly won’t be my last. Great selection of gluten free items but I think some stuff hasn’t been marked properly. All in all great place to go if you are vegan!

The biscuits and gravy with sausage is absolutely amazing and more than satisfies the comfort food craving. I would take a photo but I demolished the food.

My husband and I went to Wayward Cafe for brunch on a Friday. We were sat immediately.-We sat at what I would consider to be the “community table” and there was a couple of men at the table with us who are not vegan and only stumbled upon this place on their way to a Thai restaurant down the street. They decided to try something new and I over heard them talking about how the chicken looked exactly like chicken, tasted exactly like chicken, and fell apart exactly like chicken! They were blown away!Guys! Wayward Vegan hit it out of the park! If two non-vegan men can wander in off the street and not notice the difference between chicken and vegan chicken, y’all are doing it right! So Bravo! 👏🏼-So here is the spread that we got! Irish Cream Coffee, Cafe Don Jaun, Totchos, Caesar Salad, Mozzarella Wedges, Biscuits and Gravy, California Dreamin Crunchwrap, and the Chicken Parm! Then we finished off with a Coconut Cream Pie! Our favorite item was hands down the Totchos! They were amazing! I have never had such delicious cheese sauce! I am so glad we stopped in here and ordered as much food as possible! Thank you Wayward Vegan!

This was the last place before heading to the airport. Should’ve been my first stop! It was highly recommended by a local and now on here to recommend it as a tourist. Great food, try the wings/drumsticks.

The food is good but I realized most of the items on the menu are straight from a frozen food pack that you could buy from a store yourself. So I cant really say much about the foods uniqueness but it was tasty and i enjoyed it- the same way i would have a pack of frozen vegan drumsticks that i bought and fried myself.

Love the options at this restaurant! Quick service as well . The country friend steak was my favorite! Mash potatoes and gravy were a little underwhelming in flavor. The totcha appetizer was HUGE and yummy ! Closest I’ve come to real nacho cheese

I visited with my midwestern omni family and was thrilled when they ate up all the food we ordered. I appreciated not having to question the menu and it’s compatibility with my lifestyle. When I visit Seattle again I will surely be coming back.I liked the “crunchwraps” the mac and cheese, and the best items were the “chicken” items. Not a fan of the philly I got; the seitan was cut very thick and there weren’t nearly as many veggies as I would’ve expected on it.

I love this place so much, the atmosphere was great and so was the food. I wouldnt recommend the mac and cheese though, it tasted weird and not flavorful. Everything else was great, pancakes, reuben sandwich, and mozzarella sticks!! I will definitely go back. They serve breakfast all day by the way, and have great prices.

Delicious vegan pancakes 🥞🤤We also loved the Mona Lisa burger!Will be back soon 🔙🔜

A little too fried stuff but definitely tastes good.

Was hoping to be able to sit down and done in there, however they are only doing takeout. That honestly is not the biggest deal, and should play no part in whether or not you eat here. The flavor here is amazing. Everything being plant based, there are things you cant tell the difference on. I got the garden benedict and I wish there was more. The hollandaise was amazing and everything was seasoned perfectly. If youre near here, stop in and eat I promise you wont be disappointed. The staff was very friendly as well.

Ooooooo I really liked this place.

Delicious food. Absolutely delightful. Friendly and sociable waitress. Clean bathrooms.

Ordered food to-go and everything was delicious. Food disappeared before I could take a photo. Ended up getting lunch items but would like to try the breakfast next. Highly recommend the crunch-wraps!

Have gone here for 5+ years, never been disappointed

Wow. This place is unreal. American comfort food all vegan. Its a dream come true! Definitely not super healthy feeling, but its comfort food! Id come back in heartbeat if we lived close!

Best vegan restaurant I have ever been to hands down. The menu is overwhelming which is a pleasant surprise to have in vegan dining. They offer everything from breakfast to lunch and dinner. The staff is extremely friendly and food was fantastic.

One of the best vegan spots I’ve eaten at, hands down.

Love love love. So much variety of vegan foods and so delicious! I had the faux eggs Benedict and my boyfriend had the biscuits and country style gravy. Both incredible! Will definitely be visiting more often. Highly recommend!

Amazing. Definitely a must try!!! I really like the biscuits and gravy and I also enjoy the suns over Seattle. theyre really accommodating about substitutions as well. And they were very nice in helping us get an accessible table set up for my mother who is in a wheelchair. Prices are good and food is even better. Desserts were good, but probably wouldn’t order the pies again.

Easy online ordering and very tasty lunch!

Wayward continues to satisfy the craving of delicious vegan food, going above and beyond to make amazing dishes that even a non-vegan like myself enjoy thoroughly.

As a non-vegan, I was pleasantly surprised with the food here. They do breakfast all day and the tofu scramble is tasty. We had the Breakfast Biscuit and the Biscuits and Mushroom Gravy... both tasty. The mushroom gravy is strongly mushroom flavored (duh) so probably steer clear if you don’t like mushrooms. There was no issue when I asked for substitutions and the price was reasonable for Seattle and for the portion sizes.

Giving it 3 starts (actually its be 2,5 stars) because the food we ordered was fairly OK but overall seriously lacked in seasoning. The size of the portions is quite impressive but that’s pretty much it. WE got seitan steak, “beef” burger with sauerkraut and a side of mac & cheese. The last position was the smallest and lucky tasty. I believe the photos do not do the justice to the food presentation: in reality the plates are quite gray and boring.The restaurant may also be understaffed: It wasn’t all that busy, we waited 20 mins for seats (there were sits available but tables needed to be cleaned) and a bit more than that hfor the food itself.

YUM!!! Do yourself a favor and eat here, the food is almost too good and the prices are surprisingly amazing 👏 great job all around

By far my favorite vegan cafe spot in Seattle! I tried going to others, but this one is my favorite. Waitress was very nice and even got me to try the new York cheesecake. Everything was so good and hit the spot.

A few days of vacation in Seattle and this was one of the best places we went to, the food was amazing and it was not pricey.

First time to try a vegan burger and fries. We just went there because it was close and we were hungry. Was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it all was. Definitely will go there again.

Delicious!!!! Got the fried chickn mashed potato bowl. It was epic!

Wayward has really adapted to the pandemic. They were great before and they are doing amazing. Comfort food that is filling and is usually two meals so great for us working class people that want a good meal thats worth the price. Thank you for the service you provide!

The biscuits and gravy AMAZING! So fluffy and creamy. Who knew Vegan food could be considered comfort food? Oh yeah, Wayward did!

One of our favorites! Highly recommend the country fried burrito and the crunch wraps. Loaded hash browns are delicious too!

Great food be sure to arrive on time to pick up food . It’s so hot the fries get soggy if you’re 15 mins late

I live in the Portland area but I LOVE coming to Wayward Cafe when I drive into Seattle.Their breakfast options are very good. LOVE the biscuits and gravy!

Especially good for meat lovers. I had a club sandwich that was really good, deeply savory with lots of umami.

Good grief this place was so delicious. Literally everything we ordered was amazing. We stayed only 8 days in Waikiki yet we ate here 3 times!

Delicious, healthy, and vegan meal!! It’s crazy to think that everything we just ate was vegan as it was really good. The GF options are also amazing. The potatoes and pancakes are highly recommended as well as the tofu scramble. The atmosphere is really cute and the servers are friendly! Great meal! Would come again

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! I had the stroganoff which I used to love as a meat eater and it did not disappoint. My fiancé had a crunch wrap with macaroni cheese, barbecue sauce and heaps of other tasty fillings which he enjoyed immensely. We shared the deep fried cheese sticks for entree which were also delicious (should have ordered a serve each!) I highly recommend the French ticklers for dessert YUM!!If I lived local I would be a regular!The atmosphere was great, clean, staff were friendly and helpful without being too friendly. The prices were very reasonable. A+++++

Sumptuous food... All vegan of course but I personally wouldnt order the bacon substitute.... Chicken (substitute) was good
