The Black Dog

Excellent vegan sandwiches and soup! We ordered the vegan BLT and cilantro pesto veggie sandwich with tofu. The bread tasted like my mom's homemade wheat bread 😍. I got the feeling they were a bit under staffed for how busy they were at 4pm on a Friday. Love the style of the place too. Will definitely go back! Also, we sat at an outdoor street side table. It was really nice but traffic is a bit loud.

Fantastic place. Live music, great atmosphere great coffee (really difficult to find in the area) and great brunch with vast vegetarian and gluten Free options!! Oh and the bathroom is soooo nicely decorated.

I know when I order a meatless meat item, I've lost the right to complain about flavor, but still. My wrap was fine, but boring, I could really only taste the dressing, leaves and bread. The "meat" tasted pretty much like nothing. My mocha, however, was super good 10/10. Very pricy though, but for the whole vegan, meatless thing, I know you gotta do what you gotta do. We didn't split anything, but why do they force a fee to split a meal? So you get gouged for trying to save a lil money? Why would they care how much two or more people ordered to split? A friend and my mother both ordered things that we were later informed they were out of (at 11am on a Saturday? 🤨) The food took a pretty long time to get to us... Overall, it was fine as a one-time thing to accommodate a vegan friend who was with us, but I personally, won't be back. The artsy vibe was cool.

We stopped by The Back Dog to pick up a light, vegan lunch at 11:45am on a Saturday. There were a few full tables, but we beat the rush. Our food was ready in about 20 minutes and the containers came decorated! We ordered two sandwiches and they were both delicious. Definitely saving this spot to go back to again!

I always stop here. Even more often than Twede’s. Great vegan options, the staff remembers me even though I only blow through town once in a blue moon, and I’ve met cool travelers here. I wish every town had a cool spot like the black dog!

The Black Dog Arts Cafe is a stunning little gem in Snoqualmie in one of the cutest neighborhoods, it makes for a perfect brunch/lunch meet up with friends for amazing food and a chance to browse and purchase arts and goods from locals! The food is amazing and knowing it is sourced and prepared with love and wholesome ingredients makes it an even more enriching experience compared to other cafes serving processed foods from major brands. The owners are incredibly kind and community driven people, and this shows in the space they diligently tend to and their devoted hosting. I love the collection of ornate wood chairs, retro tables, and a true Pacific Northwest charm with a dash of eclectic flare. I can’t recommend this cafe enough if you want a one of a kind local experience that can easily become a favorite destination for a relaxing daytime getaway!

Two issues: - service can be extremely slow, which is tough with little kids. - aren't open sometimes when I'd love to go there. Everything else is great! Hard to find plant based food that is reasonably priced, delicious, and isn't greasy. This place delivers!

Love the eclectic vibe ~ however, we came in for an early lunch on Saturday, so not yet busy at all, took our order timely and then everything fell apart. The server came out two different times to tell us they were out of something and we had to order something else (yes, two separate times), keep in mind they don't have a large menu selection in the first place, so really. Out of 5 food items (we were with friends), only one order was exceptional, the rest were just meh. The mocha and coffee were good. The city water they had on the table was luke warm, no ice~ I thought this place was organic? The bill for a wrap, a 1/2 sandwich, a full sandwich, one coffee & one mocha $60 and . . . they up-charge if you want to split a menu item with someone you love, so don't think you'll just grab an inexpensive snack here. I wanted to really like it, but I probably won't be back.

Delightful arts cafe in Snoqualmie. They have poetry readings, open mics, and music in the evenings. If I lived in Snoqualmie, I'd be a regular. I'm a bit bummed that they no longer serve turkey sandwiches, but the tofu sandwich I had was yummy. The Black Dog is vegan now with the option of cheese if you ask. The companion had the tomato/grilled cheese sandwich-- she enjoyed it. Raydon was our server- friendly & professional.

De-lic-ious!! AND really great live music! We are local and frequent this restaurant. They are amazing, including the opportunities they give musicians to flourish.

My friend and I stopped in here for a lunch after looking at the falls and we were not disappointed. We were so happy to find a vegan-friendly restaurant in Snoqualmie. We decided to split a soup, salad, and sandwich. The caesar salad was just what we wanted- it was fresh, cold, crunchy, and tasty. The BLT was also super yummy. The sandwich was served with chips and fruit. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The decor inside is so charming as well. Next time I make a trip out to Snoqualmie I will definitely be back here!

There is not one thing I can say bad about this place. Every time I've gone, the food, service, and drinks have been spot on. The decor and layout makes me feel like I'm stepping back into a late 90s coffee shop. They have awesome music and the crowd is unique and fun to hang around.

I felt like I walked into a cafe in Austin, TX in the mid nineties. It's super artsy, kitschy, and has a very cool vibe. Lots of space to chill out, do some reading or writing, have a drink or some vegan grub. I had a chai, and my son had an Italian soda, both were a hit. The service was great. They are very kind and attentive. I realize this is not for everyone, but I gave it five stars for being a unique gem with a positive, creative vibe.

On a Monday, the downtown area of Snoqualmie is pretty dead, but leave it to this business to be open. The off day apparently is their most successful. It sounded kind of sad, but an all vegan restaurant is not exactly appealing to most. Vegan American food, as in, full of chemicals. The restaurant has shifted to a completely vegan model as I did note their few meat option from earlier menus were no longer present. I ordered the least chemically induced item in the form of the Pita with Hummus and fresh veggies. This was incredibly fresh and still very filling. Hummus all day, ev'ry day! The shop is charming and filled with antique furniture and knick knacks. Food took AWHILE to get to us and we were in a hurry. Definitely not my first choice and despite the wait, they came in pretty clutch for being one of the few businesses open for a much needed lunch break.

Went here while my husband was in town for a race and wooooow I wish i lived closer. I came in for some coffee and an assortment of dairy free/vegan treats and not one thing was a disappointment. All delicious. The treats were a good amount of sweet but not overly so. A good balance between sweet and flavor. And the coffee was robust. I got an americano to pair with the treats and was so happy. The coffee didn't need any extra sugar already but the dry coffee with the sweet treats was the perfect balance. To add to it the shop is also filled with local stuff to buy and some very interesting ciders. A lot of flavors I hadn't seen before and if I'm back in the area will definitely pick up. 10/10. Get the cinnamon roll if you can. It's the best! (I got 2 )

Honestly, my fiance was super reluctant to go in because he generally has lukewarm vegan/vegetarian experiences. I was excited about the place after a gift shop a couple doors down recommended it and figured it was worth a try regardless. There was one person basically in charge of all front-of-house service so we were lucky there were only a few other people in the restaurant. the space is 1/4 shop, 1/4 entertainment (not on a Friday at 11am though haha), and 1/2 restaurant. It's a really cute setup that feels very community-driven. The food was beyond great. As natural skeptics we figured it was worth trying something new regardless of how we liked it - I got a breakfast sandwich and my fiance got a pulled pork sandwich. We inhaled them both in 5 minutes flat - he said that if all food tasted like that he would consume it forever. It's safe to say they really impressed us both and gave us an introduction to how delicious vegan/vegetarian food could be! Coming from NYC where we have a seemingly infinite amount of food choices, we surprisingly have been let down time and time again by alternative eating restaurants. This place was a gamechanger for us! Would I come back? Absolutely.

I love this cafe , great food. dessert, ice cream super. I order green rice with side organic salad , avocado, eggs and toasted seeds. delicious. my favorite drink is chicha morada, sometimes chicha morada mimosa oh my! mostly vegan but they are flexible for example when i order eggs or cheese. worth to try if u haven't been there yet . On Wednesday open mic where you can play, sing or dance! fun nights. Check calendar because they have specials and good bands !

Delicious vegan options which are very tasty as well. Definitely must visit this place if you're in the area. Unique vibe as well. Pretty restrooms are a cute plus.

I had the Bang Bang and it was delicious!!! The blend of the cheese, mayonnaise (vegan?), vegetables, and deli was perfect! The chips that was included was also a perfect blend. The other thing about this was the bathroom. They are gender neutral and very clean. I love the country feel of the entire environment. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The other thing I loved about this place was that the meals were healthy! I'm always looking for healthier options in the menu and everything check that box. Not a heavy meal for me but it hit the spot! Definitely recommend this place to stop by.

Went there for the first time and love the small town vibe. Staff was friendly and the open mic night is great.

I've lived in the Snoqualmie Valley some 22 years and somehow never managed to eat at the Black Dog. Usually due to the crowds at various live music events. But today, managed to grab lunch and now I am wondering why it took so long. Missus had the beetroot soup - a rich creamy soup with magnificent texture and hint of dill. The creaminess was due entirely to the well puréed beets, as it had just a hint of actual cream. The included bread was toasted perfectly and thick. Really a great soup! My BLTA had vegan bacon but guess what - it worked! Paired with fresh avocados and on toasted fresh bread, it was fresh and hearty. Drinks were two well executed lattes. Service was prompt, friendly and not at all slow. It won't be long before we return.

Vegan BLT was ace. Service was attentive and loved the homey vibes inside. Might not be back for a while since I stopped by while I was in town on business, but definitely worth a visit!

As a vegan I was thrilled to stumble upon this place. I had a tofu Reuben which was delicious and no hassle or charge to swap for gluten free bread. The server was very busy but super efficient. The food was a little slow coming out of the kitchen but it was worth it. The bonus: I was able to also purchase a chocolate chip cookie to take with me. It was very good. I will definitely go back.

This place is a gem. Great vegan food, treats, and coffee (lots of alternative milks)! Devoured the tofu Rueben and the mock tuna sandwiches. Even the chips and fruit sides are good. Soy Mocha was tasty. Vegan s'more and spice cookie were delicious. Cool vibe inside. Some Twin Peaks nods. The girl that waited on us was a dream! She sings while she works and it's busy with her being the only one at the counter. Highly recommend.

Every time I go there I feel very happy. Lady night for open mic was excellent as usual. Lentil / quinoa was the best I had, Caesar salad and chocolate hazelnut cup cake very delicious! Service asnalways and good musicians to make a super Valentine's! Thank you to the owners

We came here just in time for someone playing live jazz music on the piano! The staff approached my party very promptly to have us seated and our orders taken. The cafe itself gives you an eclectic vibe, with tables of different shapes and sizes, all facing the stage where the performer was. One memorable event was the staff offering a drink to the musician, giving a sense of warmth and community. I ordered a hot chocolate but it arrived to our table a little bit cold but still delicious. The Black Dog is a perfect place to relax. Whether you want to just read a book, have fun with friends, listen to live music, or watch the train load and unload passengers right across the street, you'll be able to enjoy yourself here. I'd love to come back here again, hopefully to catch another musician/performer while I enjoy my hot chocolate!

The sandwiches were tasty and its pup friendly if you are sitting outside. Would definitely return for the Sammie's, even though the online menu does not match the in store menu.

Food was fantastic!!!! I ordered a Vegan BLT, and I am not a Vegan, but it was one of the best BLT's I have had. The Caesar salads are fantastic. Love the Wednesday Open Mike night. This is a really cool place to be at.

We were so excited to find this place in historic Snoqualmie. We were there for the vegan grub, but the people and vibe were equally outstanding! They have a stage area, and I enjoyed playing their piano before we ordered. This is a legit place for vegan stuff, and an all-around awesome spot.

I was really happy to see that The Black Dog has added so many more vegan menu items since the last time I was in town a few years ago. It's hard to find a restaurant in Snoqualmie (or neighboring North Bend) with more than one or two options, so this was a real treat. I had the special (chick-un salad wrap) and a cupcake. Both were great! My friend got the Turkey Reuben (obviously not vegan) and loved it, as well. I look forward to coming back! Hopefully they expand their hours again.

First time came in The Black Dog on Sunday late afternoon. Inside the restaurant look antique and comfy. Ordered Moc Tuna Sandwich and Bing Crosby sandwich. Sandwiches are come with chips and fruit. Both sandwiches are fresh ingredients and good breads. But less taste.....added salt & pepper but still missing flavor. Eat with chips better bcz chips are salty. Service lady was not pushy and nice. There are some interesting events here.

I ate here a few years ago and was very pleased and now they offer many more delicious vegan and vegetarian options as well as some items with turkey for any meat eaters. Very friendly service. I ate here a few times while I was in town and enjoyed the food each time. Very cute little place and I look forward to eating there again the next time I'm in the area. If you are vegetarian and not vegan, I really recommend the chipotle breakfast sandwich!

Love it alllll at Black Dog. Great food, and you get zvegan or non Vegan! Great caring staff, beautiful rooms and outdoor eating in the front and back! Don't miss the Live music!!

Must have been an off morning. Waited so long we changed order to be takeaway. That took even longer. Once home, avocado toast was inedible, very poorly done someone needs lessons in toast. Whatever, coffee was excellent.

Our experience here was first-rate. 1. The atmosphere was artsy and unique 2. The employees were friendly and working hard to service everyone 3. The food was amazing We had a lot of food! We got the quiche, both the house and caesar salads, the chabuca granda sandwich and the cilantro pesto veggie. The bread was sooo good! We also got a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream. The flavors were amazing. I couldn't believe how they were pumping this food out of the kitchen. Not sure how big it is back there, but we were impressed with all of the house made items. If I didn't live all the way across the country, I would be back here a lot.

Vegan + Vegetarian food made with love with options for your omnivore counterparts. We stopped by for lunch after a long hike and had a delightful experience. Quirky, coffee shop vibes abound. We had the daily special, a chick-un bac-un ranch sandwich and a BLT. The presentation and flavors were wonderful. Friendly service. Highly recommend. They'll provide a dish for your puppers to have water.

Really yummy food! Had the breakfast burrito which had a vegan option as well - didn't realize the sausage was vegetarian until I go the burrito but it was very yummy! Great hot sauce options.

The family and I had the pleasure of eating here after a day of hiking at Snoqualmie! We try to eat plant-based as much as possible, so we were happy to find such a vegan-friendly restaurant nearby! Super yummy food and a fun atmosphere featuring the art and wares of many local artists! I had a veggie gyro, oldest child went with the vegan quiche, husband had the vegan breakfast burrito, and youngest child went with his standard fave, PB&J. All were delicious and we even got some vegan baked goodies to go! They also have a stage where they feature live music! Highly recommend if you're in the Snoqualmie area!

While traveling to Snoqualmie Falls we figured we would check this place out. They have a few vegan/vegetarian options for different meals. We decided to go with The Frida Kahlo minus the sour cream and added vegan chorizo. The amount of food for price was good. The presentation was good. It was just lacking a little bit oomph to make it great. Avocado slices or vegan sour cream would have put it over the top. But not bad overall. We decided to top things off with dessert. They had a vegan brownie with walnuts as well as a vegan cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was excellent. The brownie was a typical tasting vegan brownie. I haven't found any that made me go wow yet. The iced tea was really good and seemed freshly brewed. The staff were very friendly and the price points reasonable.

LOVE THIS PLACE. It's wonderful to have a veggie/vegan friendly restaurant so far from Seattle. The best part is that they also serve the usual dairy/meat options so my husband and other meat eating friends are happy to tag along. Also their homemade cupcakes are sooooo good. PS highly recommend the tofu Rueben sandwich. Awesome!

After a visit to North Bend, and Snoqualmie Falls, we found ourselves dining outside at The Black Dog Cafe. It's on Railroad Ave just across from the enormous 100 year old trees and a vintage train. This place is a local treasure-- if I lived in Snoqualmie, I'd frequent it regularly. In normal times (pre & post covid) it hosts local musicians in a living room type back room. Lots of cool things to buy upfront. I had The Bing Crosby-- a yummy sandwich of turkey, havarti, avocado and tomato on homemade bread. Served with Tim's Cascades and fruit. My wonderful companion said her quiche was, "Mighty tasty." We chose it randomly, but it was just the vibe we needed.

The food is always amazing, I love having a place I can take my vegan friends. The pie and cupcakes you cannot even tell are vegan or gluten free. The servers have always been super kind and helpful. Love this local treasure, perfect back patio for a sunny day with the pup after or before a hike!

Stopped here for lunch before heading up to Snoqualmie Falls and the food was AMAZING! I had the mock tuna with their soup of the day, coconut mushroom, and I was extremely satisfied. If I'm ever in town again, I'll definitely be back!

We found this restaurant while wandering around Snoqualmie, it was a little hole in the wall cafe that we loved the quirks of it. It's very cozy and when we went in, they had just open so we were the only ones there for brunch. The decor is cute and you can tell that lots happen here at night with live performances and such. Unfortunately, we were there during the day but that's ok. I got the Edgar Allen Poe boy sandwich (sounds really cute to someone who loves poems, like me), which consisted of ham, house-roasted turkey, and thick-cut fisher's bacon with tomatoes and lettuce on their toasted homemade bread. I only got the half because I wasn't that hungry, but the half was rather filling since it came with chips and fruits on the side as well. My kids got the grilled cheese and split it, they loved the little watermelon slices on the side, more so than the chips, so that's saying a lot. My husband got the turkey BLT and a cup of soup of the day that was written on the wall. Both were delicious from the bite I got. I'm a huge fan of homemade baked bread, so that's what got me. We got refills after refills of Seattle coffee. I don't drink coffee but when in Rome, right? It was really smooth so I had to keep drinking. I feel like this place is artsy and very laid back, I love the vibe of it and any mom and pop shop, I'll support, because they're so much more unique than the chains anyway, but that's just me.

Oh my goodness gracious! Snoqualmie is sooooo lucky to have this sweet spot for yummy vegetarian and vegan food!!! The shop and cafe are so much fun - lots of things to look at and explore. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. We had the opportunity to talk to at least two of the owners (both women btw!!) and we talked about their practices for keeping their food vegan. So very refreshing to have knowledgeable people preparing our food. All of the food we tried was amazing. Fresh, tasty, and generous servings. We had the mock tuna sandwich, the broccoli cheddar soup and the veggie gyro. They were all stellar and we only wished that we had more room in our tummies to try more things! The owners mentioned that they have live performances there on occasion. you can check out their website for that info. It looks to be a lot of fun! https://www.blackdogsnoqualmie.com/

Excellent place for lunch while sightseeing in Snoqualmie! Delicious soup & sandwiches. Good options for vegans & omnivores! The staff was super nice and the place itself was very charming. Also bought some cool locally made candles & soap.

This place sucks we were greeted by a rude lady who told us to either order something quick or get the hell out while we were looking at the menu Stay away! We went to Mexican restaurant down the road which was great!!

Good food with quaint atmosphere akin to a 60s beatnik home in the wall. Nice to see originality in a sea of chain restaurants around Seattle burbs. Sandwiches were good and fresh with homemade bread. Bread crumbled a little making for a little challenge but still delicious.

Awesome place for vegan lunch. Will be back every time I'm in town. Cool vibes, local music, great food & drinks. Staff is wonderful and very friendly.

I love Black Dog, it has such great vegan options and it's the best stop after a hike in the area. The staff is really friendly, they do get busy on weekends so plan ahead and be patient! The quiche and breakfast burritos were both great. They have the best vegan baked goods(some are gluten free), don't miss out on getting a cupcake! Their americano was also amazing, one of the best I've had!

Chill..family friendly place. Outdoor area got a small face lift so has some undercover seating when needed. Haven't had much of the food but the coffee is ok and the beer is just out of a bottle or can.

This place was great. We stumbled upon this gem while exploring the town. So many great vegetarian options. We ordered a tofu rueben and veggie burrito. The food was excellent and it was a great welcoming atmosphere.

A nice hole in the wall café with great local art. We went to see Kenzie Rose and her band play. They were excellent with decent acoustics. The artsy feel is incredibly strong with mis-matching furniture and local artist's paintings on the wall. I didn't order food, but a few friends ordered the BLT which they said was delicious and came out at a reasonable pace. The service was great, especially for a full house. I had a seasonal beer on tap which was delicious! Overall, a great whole in the wall artsy café with a Seattle feeling without actually being in Seattle.

What a cool, rustic vibe at this owner-operated eatery and bar. We enjoyed a nice, custom tailored brunch of cheese omelets with avocados, heated with Serrano peppers and cooled with homemade sour cream along with bottomless coffee and flaky homemade bread. Yum. The owners came by and chatted as did Greg, the chef/owner and Anna, the manager/owner. We also heard Mike the resident bard sing and play his acoustic ballads. They stock fashion jewelry by local artists and other such for those so inclined. The Black Dog is a destination worth the half hour drive from most Eastside locations. Once we ate we enjoyed the quaint town of Snoqualmie and checked out the railroad museum. The trains are operating now and you could take a ride, although we didn't have the time on this visit. Next up, we plan to come back and do an evening out of it, listen to live music and maybe do some foot stomping if they have it.

Amazing vegan food and local art! Staff is friendly, restaurant is clean, and you can eat with enough space to social distance. Will be back!

I like absolutely everything about black dog especially the beautiful kind people working there in the kitchen and at the desk. Yum for the food and the desserts it makes for a very happy day love you are Goldie

Stopped in for lunch after our visit to Snoqualmie falls, neither of us are vegan so we both got turkey sandwiches (very tasty). Have to give a big thumbs up to the staff, seemingly short handed like most places but the attitude was a pleasure to be around. I was quite busy and they remained upbeat the whole time
