Pancake Mill, North Bend OR

Location: North Bend, OR, USA

On a trip down to visit Raymond's grandparents in Florence, OR we took a drive down the coast for a bit the one day. We needed some lunch and while driving by the Pancake Mill we saw a sign for vegan chilli so we stopped in to try it out. I mean there are not very many options in the small towns along the coast. I think they only have veggie chilli and without the cheese it is vegan. They served it with way too many large slices of onions, but they were easy to take off. The chilli itself was amazing. Way better than I expected for a small non-vegan restaurant. I would eat this again anytime.


We also tried the taco salad without cheese. Tortilla chips, lettuce, soy meat, olives and salsa. I with there would have been more veggies or something on it, but overall surprisingly good. The salsa was really good, and I was surprised they even had soy meat to put on it (the menu is mostly meat and eggs and such).

Overall - I was pleasantly surprised by the vegan options at the Pancake Mill. The waitress was very friendly and made sure everything was vegan and I would stop in again if I were in the area.

Mirkwood & Shire Cafe, Arlington WA

Location: 117 E Division St, Arlington, WA 98223, USA

Mirkwood & Shire Cafe is kind of out of the way for us, but when we go camping in the North Cascades it is right on the way so we can stop for dinner on the way. We tried a chicken philly steak sandwich - mock chicken pieces, grilled onion and peppers, 1,000 island sauce on a hoagie roll served with french fries. This was alright. Nothing really special, but good for a smaller town in Washington. It is not like the Georgetown Liquor Company or anything, but it is good.


We also had a small taco salad - romaine lettuce, tomato, black beans, soy taco meat, sour cream, salsa, red wine vinaigrette, and tortilla chips. The small is a lot of food and it is super delicious. This is probably one of my favorite salads I have had. It is so good that if we are in the area I will stop by.

Overall - If you are in the area and need some food it is a good choice. Everything is vegetarian and almost everything can be made vegan. It is a little pricey, the food takes forever, but it is overall pretty tasty.
