Cow Pain and Suffering - Edit
So close to awesomeness, yet so far by moving cow pain and suffering. Drinkers of milk meant for baby cows have 99% of the cafes to harm their bodies, the environment and the cows. Why here too?

I visit this place every time I'm in Seattle. :-) - Edit
Since my last visit to Seattle a year ago, I was pleasantly surprised by Chaco Canyon's expansion in space and menu at their new location. And they continue to be 95% organic and 100% vegan, with the most raw options I've seen on any Seattle menu. The staff is quite friendly and helpful.
Read moreTheir food quality runs across the board, with some delicious items, some mediocre, and at least one, really really bad. The most delicious items I've had there are: the pesto melt (featuring pesto and vegan mozzerella cheese), Egytian red lentil soup, the blue green blast smoothie (bananas, blueberries, apple juice and Greens+ powder), and the Really Really Green Smoothie (greens, banana and apple blended in a Vitamix). I find the Thai Peanut bowl okay, which is raw spinach and steamed bok choy over rice with housemade peanut sauce and spicy chutney. A couple items to avoid are: the grilled vegan cheese sandwich, which is the worst vegan cheese sandwich I've ever had. (Seems to be made with a rubbery processed cheese). Also, I found their classic smoothie which includes strawberries and bananas to be mediocre. (It would be much improved with live nut milk and dates.) On previous visits more than a year ago, I was not very impressed with any of the raw offerings I had tried, except the live pizza.
One thing that surprises me is that given that the menu is about half raw, there is only one house salad. In other words, there is no choice of salad dressing other than the house dressing, an apple garlic dressing. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I'd like to see more choices of salad dressings and a vegan caesar salad as well.
In general, I consider this place mid-priced compared to the other veg restaurants in Seattle. However, their dessert portions are insultingly tiny compared to what they charge. They charged close to $6 for what I would consider to be a half piece of pumpkin pie. (The pie was delicious though.)
Also, some of their items are not fresh. I had their special Thanksgiving dinner here on a Friday, and on Sunday and Monday, they were still selling plates of leftovers. Packaged dessert items don't always have pull dates.
Chaco Canyon has some excellent items--you have to know what to order. But they have a long way to go to improve.
Pros: Some delicious items, 100% Vegan & 95% Organic, Friendly, helpful staff
Cons: Overpriced Dessert Portions, Needs More Salad Choices

according to the guy above, they rape cows and drink dairy, so they are less than 100% vegan; sorry to burst your bubble. Is it good other than that? lol.

"Burst my bubble"? My review was written in 2007 and accurate at the time I wrote it. They started serving dairy at some point after my visit. Restaurants do change over time. "Great Sage" in Clarksville, MD discontinued all dairy and went vegan.

Good Vegan Food [but not a fan of their raw food] - Edit
Their Vegan sandwiches are pretty good [I recommend the "Vegan Pesto Melt" and "Vegan Hot Tunaless Melt"]; however, I wasn't a fan of the raw food here [especially the raw deserts - that includes the "Carob Cake" and "Carrot Cake" - Yuck!]. Be sure to try their fresh juices, they're fantastic!

I Ate at Chaco Canyon - Edit
I had the Pesto Melt with Ethiopian Lentil Soup and a Limeade spritzer. The Pesto Melt was delicious, it's definitely a sandwich I could eat again and again. The Lentil soup was good as soups go. I liked the Limeade spritzer too.

Not quite as impressed the second time - Edit
6/15/2007: My husband and I stopped by to have a Hot Pesto Melt only to find out after we ordered and paid for them that they were out of pesto. This was a huge disappointment as we were really looking forward to it and made a special trip in just for that. In place of that I had the avocado, tomato and sprout sandwich...it didn't have much avocado on it so it was more like a tomato and sprout sandwich---not impressive---I could have made that at home! My husband ordered the Artichoke Melt and could barely eat half of it. They were nice enough to bring him a peanut butter & jelly sandwich then, but that fell flat as well. The employees were nice, but the food just didn't live up to our first experience. Sigh.
Read more4/24/2007: It was really nice to go to a place that is 100% Vegan...all of the choices! It rocks! I had the Hot Tunaless Melt which was pretty good (not really anything like tuna), and my husband (a non-vegan) had the Hot Pesto Melt and loved it. I think that I'll order that next time---the bite I had was wonderful. I haven't been back since they moved, but I'm looking forward to it.
Pros: 100% vegan, friendly staff
Cons: out of pesto

Raw food in Seattle - Edit
Great raw (and non-raw) food in Seattle. I recommend the Elvis smoothie (banana, peanut butter, choice of milk), Spinach Lasagne, and any raw dessert they have at the time.
