Mediocre - Edit
As others have mentioned, this restaurant’s vegan food is pretty mediocre. We ordered the Farmers Daughter, the vegan breakfast that comes with honey wheat toast. (Side rant: honey is made by bees, honey is not vegan). We subbed the non-vegan toast for an english muffin that came dry because keeping single serves of vegan margarine is apparently just too hard to do. When we were partway through eating, the waitress did ask if we wanted “jam or something”. Definitely not a place I would bother with again.

I’ve been there a couple times, and the experience was underwhelming.

Nice place but average food - Edit
Had the farmer's daughter breakfast which is essentially salty veg with tofu and toast. Not bad but not inspiring. Went back for the banana pancakes which were tasty with berries but really really dry. Lovely staff though!

Peak meh - Edit
One of those places that has vegan options, but you kind of wish it didn’t because they clearly just exist so that the one vegan in the party can’t say no to everyone else. I would never in my personal life unblushingly serve slabs of tofu without flavor, bread without a spread, or green beans too woody to eat to a friend.

Few options, bland - Edit
We had the farmers hash, veganized. They do tofu and mushrooms for vegan. It was a couple small slices of plain tofu - no marinade or seasoning. The veggies also seemed to have no seasoning at all.
Read moreFlavorless, boring, very disappointing. We brought the leftovers home, added herbs, just egg, and chao and it was much better. Bread was dense and dry and came with no butter, jam, or anything.
We also tried the banana pancakes. They are made with rice flour, which made them pretty gummy. Not great. Passable, in a pinch. The fruit bar for toppings on the pancakes was cool though! Great idea, loads of delicious fresh fruit.
(We actually went to the west seattle location, but that is not listed on happy cow and I’m not going to the effort to list it when I find the restaurant to be a poor choice for vegans)

Tasty Pancakes! - Edit
I went here twice during my trip to Seattle, since it was near where I stayed. I personally loved the vegan pancakes. They were fresh and tasty. The fruit bar was a nice touch to add toppings. I tried the farmers hash, the second time I went, and it was okay. I had to doctor it up a bit, for more flavor.

Cute little cafe - Edit
There aren't a lot of vegan options but I thoroughly enjoyed the hash with tofu. Super flavorful and a good selection of veggies! Plan on returning to try the banana pancakes.

Farmer’s Hash is Gross - Edit
I got the veganized farmer’s hash (they replace the eggs with tofu) and it was honestly gross. Just a bunch of salty limp vegetables with 2 chunks of flavorless (yet quite eggy) tofu on top. Honestly I never write one-star reviews but I know this place is popular, so vegans be aware that it is far from ideal. Also, their vegan pancakes are gluten-free, and I don’t like when restaurants try to do the double vegan gluten-free option as if we are one in the same.
Read morePros: A couple labelled vegan options
Cons: Few options, Expensive

I always regret going here - Edit
Their vegan hash tastes like they plucked out select veggies from a compost heap. Their banana pancakes taste gummy and powdery. These are the only vegan options when I went here. Do not recommend, I always regret going here.

Yummy pancakes! - Edit
I’d definitely recommend this place for the banana pancakes and roasted potatoes. They don’t have too many vegan options, but the options they do have are clearly labeled v . If they added a few more vegan items and they were just as good as the pancakes it would be an even better spot to eat. They have a wonderful fully stocked fruit bar with almonds, walnuts, raisins, shredded coconut, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and more that is included with any of their pancakes/French toast etc. The fruit bar is definitely what makes the meal. I’d return just for the pancakes, tried the Buddha bowl and it was just okay.

My favorite breakfast spot - Edit
Portage Bay wins my heart with great coffee, multiple kinds of mouth watering gluten free pancake offerings and a fresh berry buffet. There is a vegan Buddha bowl, vegan hash, oatmeal, granola as well as imaginative egg and meat based brunch options. No wonder the place is always packed with a line out the door. Worth the wait.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options , Lots of gluten free options , Did I say great coffee ☕
Cons: Be prepared to wait for a table

Some vegan options - Edit
This was a cute restaurant with great, heated outdoor seating. For brunch, it had 1 vegan entree (Farmer’s Daughter’s Hash) and a vegan pancake option (and an add your own topping pancake bar). I had the hash, it was good but a little boring. I wish there was more tofu and more flavor! Overall, it was a nice place to get brunch with a friend who really wanted meat options.
Read morePros: Vegan choices, Heated, covered outdoor seating
Cons: Vegan options are pretty standard/boring

Traditional breakfast and diner fare in the U-district - Edit
We were glad to find this place as all the other vegan options were not open early for a start-of-the-day breakfast. The tofu hash is the one entree option for vegans; it is delicious and filling. We also observed an all-you-can-eat fruit bar that went with the pancakes. Lots of seating and excellent service. Also affordable.
