Café Flora
A longtime favorite for vegan and vegetarian food, Flora has a gardenlike feel and a creative menu, with dinner treats like seitan spring rolls and breaded coconut tofu dipped in chili sauce, a portobello French dip, caprese pizza and black-bean burgers. Or go for the hoppin' john fritters or tomato asparagus scrambles at brunch.

Chaco Canyon Cafe
Just below Cedars, this comfy Southwestern-style nook offers a menu that's all vegan, 90% organic and almost half raw-food. New to the raw-food movement? Try the spicy Thai grinder or the gluten-free kiwi lime tart. There's also a long list of vegan sandwiches and drinks, and a little window by the entrance where you can pick up vegan, gluten-free, wheat-free baked treats from Flying Apron organic bakery on your way in or out.

Cyber-Dogs
One of those all-things-to-some-people places, like Easy Street in West Seattle, Cyber-Dogs is an all-veggie hot-dog stand, espresso bar, internet café and youngster hangout/pickup joint. It advertises by way of miniature hand-scribbled-and-stapled chapbooks with cute indie-rock-style cartoons. The best part, though is trying the insanely imaginative non-meat 'not-dogs' with tastes-better-than-it-sounds toppings (eggplant, potatoes, hummus).

Flowers

Globe Café & Bakery
Even non-veggies go out of their way for the Globe's incredibly rich vegan food, especially the tempeh-and-yam gyros dripping with onions and tahini sauce. The industrial gallery-type space attracts a ragtag clientele of workmen, young punks, homeless people and middle-aged intellectual poets to its low booths within funky art-covered walls. Hipster boys in an open kitchen churn out tofu scrambles, french toast and sandwiches to die for.

Hillside Quickie Vegan Sandwich Shop
This organic vegan Jamaican sandwich shop has annoyingly erratic hours (it's supposed to be open until but seems to close early a lot) but also has indisputably delicious vegan sandwiches and wraps. The Hillside Quickie educates U-Dub students about the glories of tofu, tempeh and seitan. There's usually only one person working, but guilt-free indulgences like the fake steak or the spicy tofu wrap are worth the wait.

Sidecar For Pigs Peace
This one qualifies for the 'only in Seattle' tag: an all-vegan deli and store whose profits go entirely to support a nearby sanctuary for pigs rescued from their otherwise grisly fates. Pick up vegan sandwiches, spirulina cookies, organic wine, vegan cupcakes and meat-free pet food, and ask the volunteers who work there about the 'board of directors.'

Tilth
The only ingredients on chef Maria Hines's menu that aren't organic are those found in the wild, like mushrooms and seafood. Everything else, from asparagus to cheese, is carefully selected to meet certified-organic standards and prepared in a manner that preserves its essence. Try the Duck Three Ways, made with the first organically raised ducks in Washington. Servers in the small restaurant are unpretentious and friendly.
