Salad bar
Take-out
Gluten-free

Stevie Wonder inspired salad bar opened 2017 by Plum Bistro next door. The owner ended up on musician Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life” tour, and after his visit to Plum Bistro prompted him to hire her as his personal chef. Each salad is a tribute to some part of that tour—or to the singer himself. Sample dishes such as Travelin’ thru Memphis (barbecue baked beans), Take Me On Tour (with fried chickpeas and vegan parmesan), and Red Blooded Vegan (with plant-based bacon). Also has sandwiches and wraps. Open Mon-Fri 11:00am-5:00pm.

Loved it!

Had the Caesar salad and it was so good! Can’t wait to come back next time I am in town!

Eat yr vegetables!

I’ve gotten at least a dozen Chopped salads + I’m a fan. I think they’re perfectly lightly dressed, but you’re prolly gonna wanna be like me + add salt to taste.

The “Well Aren’t You Fancy” is my fave. I add tempeh + split it w/my partner for lunch. Others are less filling but also great. Sometimes they swap pears for figs, etc w/out telling you, which I don’t mind bc I flow w/the seasons, but speak up if you have an allergy!

I def recommend not turning salads into wraps bc it’s harder to add salt + it needs a dipping sauce or something else to make it work. Oh + I do not know why they’re still selling that bagel sandwich now that Seattle has an actual bagel scene. That’s just bread w/a hole in the middle. Maybe I'll try the Seattle Dog one day...

Pros: healthy, friendly, fast + easy takeout

Exciting salads & sandwiches

Very fast service for the salad & sandwich we ordered. Salad was amazing, with fresh figs, delectable blackberries, perfect pecans, and a Gouda-esque nut cheese that married the flavors spectacularly.
The ban mi sandwich was a bit messy, but the spicy flavorful tofu, cilantro, jalapeños, and other ingredients were good as well.

Pros: Great variety of options , Extremely fast, Friendly service

Cons: Disposable dishes only , A bit pricey

Great salads and dessert

The salads are great and have elements that aren’t common in salads, like nut cheese (or cheese in vegan salads). The carrot cake is really good.

Pros: Filling and delicious salads, Fun salad names

Excellent salad

We received takeout from this restaurant. While we cannot attest to the brick and mortar location, the salad was very good. I picked the Travelin’ Thru Memphis. The combination worked. We also tried the Turn up the Beet which was also excellent. We have been to Plum Bistro several times while visiting Seattle and we’d love to physically visit Plum Chopped.

Great salads. Sketchy pricing.

Update, 3/4/23: There's now a small-text sign by the receipt machine that tells you that a mandatory 10% service fee which is not a tip will be added to your bill. Then the suggested auto tips are not set lower than average. How is this not just...the price of the food, but not actually mentioned in the price of the food? Ick, ick, ick.

Good Weather downstairs has transparent, no tip pricing and several solid vegan options.

Great salads. Probably the best you'll do in Seattle.

I've ordered the cheesecake several times and experienced it variously A) completely frozen and b) waterlogged and falling apart (from having been frozen). I've stopped ordering that except when I can eat nearby to return it if necessary.

Not bad

I tried the Black Goddess and it was pretty good. I added some broccoli and red pepper and then some red onion when I got home since it seemed to need a bit of spice and crunch. Seems like a good lunch option and I’ll probably be back to try more things.

Pros: Vegan everything

Cons: Could use some more flavor / spice

Yummm

Another Makini Howell masterpiece. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. The flavors and textures are perfectly balanced. I wish she would franchise her restaurants so that folx outside of Seattle could enjoy her culinary genius!

Such a satisfying meal

It’s great to have an all-vegan salad bar to try out with super creative salads. The one I had was called “Take me on a tour” which had vegan Caesar dressing and Parmesan. Hopefully I get to try out their bistro. A great place to support and grab a quick bite.

Pros: Great selection, All vegan, Price

tasty salads on the go

I got the Traveling Through Memphis and it was all my favorite parts of barbecue. It was mixed with baked beans and “baconish” dressing. I also tried my husband’s salad which had the nut cheese. Absolutely delicious! Great flavor profiles and lots of options if you want to build your own.

Pros: tasty, great on the go

Cons: parking
