Sunlight Cafe

"Tucked away in an unassuming corner of the ever-evolving Roosevelt neighborhood is this Seattle vegetarian institution that has been going strong for over 45 years. Long-timers swear by the Vegan Highlander (tofu and tempeh on top of a bed of spinach, served with home fries and an English muffin). Don’t sleep on the huevos picante burrito with actual tofu chunks instead of crumbles, which makes all the difference." - Sean Keeley, Eater Staff

"After four decades in the same Roosevelt location, Seattle’s oldest vegetarian restaurant is moving around the corner, expecting to reopen in a gorgeous space with outdoor seating and a mezzanine in August. “Hippie” is a way of life here, fueled by tempeh burgers, veggie lasagna, and fresh-baked breads." - Matthew Lombardi

"Forty-two-year-old Sunlight Cafe has relocated within Roosevelt, moving just one block west of its original location. The business, which claims to be Seattle’s “longest-standing vegetarian restaurant,” now sports outdoor dining and air conditioning, plus beer and cider on draft. The cafe serves brunch, lunch, dinner, coffee, and happy hour, with options like lemon poppy seed waffles, homemade granola, polenta and eggplant marinara, and a portobello mushroom burger." - Megan Hill
