Loved the Bhan mi

All three deserts were great too (don't worry, I didn't buy them all myself, shared plates in a small group). Seitan wings are also something I typically wouldn't get but was really nice.

Best in the neighborhood

If you want a nice atmosphere with good food and drinks that doesn’t feel super “vegan-y” in a cool neighborhood, this is your sole option, and it’s a great one. All vegan menu, nice staff, original takes on wings and tacos. WILL RETURN!

Flavorless Yuck!

Ordered the cauliflower wings…no flavor. We did not go beyond a second taste. Disco fries were just okay.

Nice vibe and decor. Wait staff was very upbeat and friendly.

They ask for vax proof…June 30, 2022.

Cons: Food not tasty, Too much flavorless batter

Trendy vegan bar

Have been a couple of times. Really good vegan pub food. Three sides was more than enough for two. Friendly staff and covered outdoor seating.

Lovely Brunch Spot

Visited Life On Mars for a birthday brunch, and it did not disappoint food-wise!

Opted for the Triple Threat, with a couple of sides we shared between the two of us (knowing the portions would probably be quite sizable), and it was the perfect amount of food for two.

Would love to go back and try their dinner menu.

Fantastic ambiance and decor, but felt the staff were not the friendliest. Could perhaps put that down to a busy morning. Would have loved if they could have arranged something special for a birthday as this was shared before we were seated, but it was not acknowledged at all.

Pros: Great brunch options, Decor and space

Cons: Staff friendliness

Good food and fun cocktails

Hadn’t been here since just after it opened and the food was vastly improved. Really enjoyed the cocktails. Got the Caesar salad wrap and Mac and cheese. Definitely a fun place to visit.

Best food we had on our week long vacation!

This place is amazing. My omni fiancé enjoyed his meal as much as I enjoyed mine. There were so many options and all sounded amazing. They also have great cocktails. Make sure you go here!

Cons: A lil pricey

Great brunch!

Got brunch and had the sandwich and comfort platter. Great drinks and nonalcoholic options. Four stars because I haven’t been a fan of past drink menus.

Pros: Good NA options

Cons: Past cocktails weren’t great

Get the Philly cheese steak!

It melts in your mouth and is the best thing we got! Other dishes are good as well. Service was really nice!

Has Gotten Better

I didn't love them when they first opened (interesting ideas but not executed well) but I think they have found their stride. Most recently went for brunch with friends and we all loved it. I got the chicken (cauli wings) and waffles. And their coffee and tea is served in the cutest way, on trays with little color-coded hourglass timers so you know when they're ready! Loved this touch. Friendly staff, always good music playing, love the record side of the restaurant.

Pros: Good food, Interesting combinations, Great atmosphere

Just doesn't hold up

I really want to like this place, but I've eaten here twice and been disappointed. We got the comfort platter and smothered burrito on the brunch menu. The comfort platter stated it came with a "fresh baked herb biscuit" but there were no herbs (or honestly flavor) in the biscuit that did not seem fresh baked. The smothered burrito was simply drizzled in a small amount of sauce and was really small. I ended with so much tortilla and no filling I didn't finish. The scrambled just egg was a few random solid cubes thrown in. I used 1/3 of their bottle of hot sauce just to provide flavor.
I did like that actual servers take your order and they did check on us as well.

Pros: Actual servers take your order

Cons: Expensive for the amount you get, Menu vs. What's delivered didn't match

Consistently good and great atmosphere

Life on Mars is a great vegan spot for comfort bar food. This is my go to spot when I want a cocktail and laid back atmosphere.

The food is alright- with some hits and misses. Their quinoa and kale salad is very bland and dry, but their garlic Parmesan cauliflower wings are fantastic.
The chopped cheese sandwich was great- it tastes like chopped up beyond meat covered in sauce with great bread. The jackfruit tacos on the other hand could have used more flavor and was pretty mediocre.
For cocktails I love the opener, a green tea and floral vodka drink. I also loved the Big in Japan drink where it was packed with flavor being sweet and smokey.

This is a great spot for casual bar food, in a fun atmosphere, where their cocktails are great.

Pros: Very friendly staff and great service , The atmosphere is great with a vinyl wall, Fantastic cocktails

Cons: Food can be hit or miss in flavor

Delicious food, fun atmosphere.

Really enjoyed this place on a visit to Seattle. Had the po boy crab cake sandwich which was delicious. Definitely felt less cool than everyone in the restaurant, but not in a bad way. Thumbs up all around!

Cool atmosphere

The cauliflower wings are amazing. Didn’t enjoy the jackfruit tacos at all unfortunately but I would come back for the wings alone.

21 and over only

I really wanted to go check this place out with my family while on vacation, but it is strictly 21 and over even for breakfast, so we weren't able to eat inside. I think it must be a local law because we ran into some restrictions at other restaurants that were surprising to us coming from Ohio.

We did go for breakfast and got takeout. We ate it at some picnic tables nearby on the patio of another bar that was closed at the time.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was good, but not amazing.

MMM Good

We tried the Creamsicle Airplane and the Lost & Found cocktails, which were amazing! The Market Board had a huge variety of yumminess and the Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes are extremely flavorful. Recommend sitting inside, as outside was a bit stinky, with garbage and smokers. Fun vibe inside.

Comfort Food & Fries

We got sandwiches and fries from Life On Mars, and found that though the food was a bit oily for our preferences, it did taste good. The portions were generous! The crab po boy is highly recommended!

Pros: Large portions

Cons: A little oily

Coolest vibe

While we didn’t have any food here, the drinks and the vibe were so fun! They let you pull records to play and it was a fun old library/dive bar feel. Would definitely come back to eat!

Good Food. All Vegan.

I had a nice burger here, though it was a little expensive for what it was (you only get about 10 fries per plate). The entire menu is vegan though, so I am not opposed to coming back and trying something else. It seemed like the cauliflower was the item to order.

Pros: All vegan menu, Friendly staff

Cons: A little expensive for what it was
