Reviews for The Bayside Cafe in Everett, WA

Delicious food, friendly staff, great server! I had the western burger and deep fried mushrooms. Mushrooms were very good. ... Served with a ranch. The batter had more flavor than I was used to. Ha! The western BBQ burger was absolutely delicious. ThisBeyond meat burger was stacked with onion rings, BBQ sauce and cheese. The entire thing melts in your mouth. Vegan or want aplant based alternative? Definitely check this place out! Read more

I was grateful to sit down at a restaurant where I could order anything off the menu and not worry at all about animal products.... That part was amazing. We got the nachos, deep fried pickles, a classic burger, a chicken sandwich/burger(?) and some beer. Theburger patty was a fair size and texture but didn?t have much flavor besides tasting like burnt grill. It does not come withpickles so I threw some fried pickles in it which helped give it more flavor. But the fried pickles were so salty you really canonly eat a few. The nachos would have been better had the ratio been better. Lots of nachos and only a small layer of toppingthat once you eat a few chips each it?s just chips left and they are not very good tortilla chips. Definitely the cheapest onesyou can buy in bulk it seems. The chicken burger wasn?t bad but it was just okay. It was on a pretzel bun which sounds good intheory but the flavors didn?t marry well. Same with the burger, it also came with a pretzel bun which I felt like they bothtaste ok separately but didn?t like them together. The fries were perfect. I wish I could give a better review because we don?thave many vegan restaurants close by. And I love the idea of this place and the waitstaff was friendly, Plus I?ve seen so manyraving reviews. But nothing we ate would be worth the short trip back there. It was all less than mediocre. I?d probably comparethe food to Dennys if they were vegan. But I kinda remember the food at Dennys being better. The ambiance was pretty cool, asit is located inside an old Chinese restaurant (in which I?ve eaten at before) and there is a parking lot so that wasnice. There is only booth seating and they are an extremely tight squeeze for a pregnant person or anyone with a belly. Was abit uncomfortable. Also if someone is seated in the booth behind you every move they make wiggles your seat as well which is whywe moved to another booth. I hope bayside continues to get business and that they do very well. A Read more

Love this place. Some of the best vegan food I?ve had in the state. Highly recommend! Go support them. Ordered the Pretzel... Sticks with a side of nacho cheez and a Chickun Ghost sandwich! Read more

Excellent food! Loved the western burger? so messy but oh so good! Our party shared mushrooms, pickles, and the nachos? all... fabulous! I?m taking some raspberry cheesecake home to try tonight. You can literally order anything on their menu and love it!This is definitely for the vegan bar food mood! Not the ultra healthy options but when your down for burgers and fries or somebar food apps definitely hit up bayside! Read more

Very strange choice of location. They have recently moved in to what was evidently a Chinese restaurant before. It is dark,... huge, has no natural light, and frankly, I think, a very poor choice - I'm really not sure what they can do with this space tomake it work. 1/5 for ambience. The food was good but very heavy. We had the tofu scramble and the breakfast sandwich. Bothgreat if you like that kind of diner-style meal but a bit heavy for my taste. 4/5 for food. Also they didn't have any coffee(as they didn't have a machine set up) so I had to go out to a place around the corner for that. Personally I would have boughtat least a drip coffee machine in as a temporary solution, or bought some boxes from a local company in the interim. Feels likethere were better solutions available here. Strange experience all round, I'm genuinely perplexed by the choice of location. Read more

I love this place!! My partner and I have been frequenting their old location pretty regularly, and now they're in an old... Chinese place that can accommodate so many more humans!! (and much more safely, with social distance) The food is alwayswonderful, I would definitely recommend the Everett dog to anyone ever, but this morning we went for BRUNCH! They serve mimosasas well (I had the lemon blueberry one) and let me just say the Tatchos were not only wonderful and ingenious, but incrediblyfilling!! Neither my partner or I could finish our plate (a rare occasion) but we both left incredibly satisfied. I'm so excitedto see what's to come for you all!! Thank you for making delicious vegan comfort food just down the road! The staff is allincredibly friendly and down to earth, and the art and things everywhere are exciting to see and it feels like there's alwayssomething new to look at. Sorry for the rambly review, these guys rock my socks. Xoxo Read more

Full disclosure: I am not vegan, this is an omnivore's perspective. I got the Western burger with curly fries (pictured) and... beer battered mushrooms (not pictured). The fries were PERFECT, with a bit of crisp but not a crunch and a light but flavorfullayer of seasoning. I wasn't expecting the burger patty to taste anything like beef, and it didn't really taste like beef, butit still had a savory meaty flavor with a nice texture. The fake cheese was gooier than real cheddar but tasted very much likethe real thing. And their dips... Do definitely get the sriracha aioli. It's AMAZING. Finally, the mushrooms... They arrivedpiping hot and also with the perfect amount of crisp. It came with vegan ranch dip but I used the sriracha aioli because I wasaddicted. Also, if the picture looks like it's a somewhat small amount of food, the size is deceptive. I'm a very big eater andI got very full. Vegan food is dang filling! The service was great, the staff were extremely friendly and attentive, despitethe place being moderately busy when my brother and I came in. My only "gripe" with the service was that they initiallymisplaced my order of mushrooms, but they quickly rectified it and even took the mushrooms off the bill. We will definitely bereturning!
