About this place Wayward Coffeehouse

Wayward Coffeehouse is an independent coffee shop on Roosevelt Way NE in Seattle's Roosevelt neighbourhood, running since 2005. It's mainstream and gay-friendly rather than a queer venue, and is known as a geek hangout, with a sci-fi theme and a crowd of students, gamers and people working on laptops. There are large tables and plenty of seating, plus vegetarian and vegan sandwiches and soups alongside the pastries. It's closed on Wednesday. On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday it closes between 14:30 and 16:30, then reopens until 21:00. Friday to Sunday it's open straight through from 08:00 to 21:00. Capitol Hill, where most of Seattle's gay bars are, is a bus or light-rail ride south.

Such a gem! The staff alone is worth the visit. Javier was an awesome waiter. Helped pick the best food and even helped my boyfriend practice Spanish and gave us recommendations for camping. Truly such a lovely and positive human being. The food was amazing. Great vegan food. 10/10 experience.

VEGANS come here! The whole menu is vegan and there is a giant spread to choose from for both brunch and dinner. So many options and different types of food. The service is great, and the people who work here husssstle, one server and helper dude (?), and a ton of takeout/to go orders. These guys were working hard and never stopped working. Best vegan salmon ever, I didn’t know vegan food could taste like this ✨ Let’s keep this place alive!

I’ve been eating at Wayward Vegan for 15 years. The new owners destroyed a true Seattle gem. There was a noticeable drop in quality when the new owners took over and now “The Wayward” is no longer a safe spot for people with allergies to animal products to eat or for vegans concerned with cross contamination.

It's my favorite plant based restaurant and the best perk about living near Roosevelt.

no longer a vegan restaurant, so disappointing :( and the vegan menu items are significantly less yummy/high quality than they used to be. not to mention the fact it was one of the only places in town I didn’t have to worry about cross contamination. trying to expand your audience to meat eaters will only lose you the audience you have/had! so sad, after years I will not be coming back. :/
