had a vegan menu that looked tasty so we stopped by for a
late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Not much was open in the area and it was
packed. Luckily it was nice outside and I just wanted to sit and visit with a
friend so we decided to sit outside and wait for a table. I am so glad we did!
The food was amazing. First up we had the vegan patty melt – a gardein burger
patty, caramelized onions, vegan cheddar, and homemade agave mustard on toasted
rye bread. We chose asparagus as the side as well…asparagus is tasty! The
sandwich was incredible! We had a patty melt the weekend prior at a place in
Seattle and it was nowhere near as good as this one. The bread was delicious and toasted perfect,
the onions and mustard lent a nice flavor, the cheese was not overpowering, the
burger was juicy and delicious. The asparagus was also amazing - sweet and
tender and still crisp. It was cooked with a little olive oil with salt &
pepper seasoning it and it was really really great.

We also tried the Chocolate Stout Farmhouse Waffle – cocoa waffle made with Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout topped with fresh banana slices and homemade vegan caramel sauce. The waffle by itself was not very sweet which was good. It paired nicely with the banana and the caramel sauce so they were not overpowering either – they all worked well together. The banana and caramel added the sweetness (the caramel by itself was incredibly sweet, but there wasn’t much of it so you just got a little bit sweet), the waffle mellowed it out…it was amazing.
Overall – Even if there is an hour and a half wait I would eat here again. The food seemed simple, but they did an amazing job of making the simple items better than any I have had before, like the side of asparagus. My non-vegan friend who ate with us was complaining about how long we were waiting, but even he thought it was worth it. Definitely go here if you can.
