Actually, this will be the fourth time that we have posted about Grounds and Greens including the original White Rock location and location number 2 in Fort Langley. This time I was inspired to post because I noticed that for Veganuary they had a special item on the menu!
Grounds and Greens - Fort Langley Plant Based Cafe
Ba Bar South Lake Union, Seattle - Vegan Options
On Monday morning as we packed to return home, we changed our lunch plan from another burger/biscuit/fried vegan stuff place to vegan Asain fusion and we were not sorry. This turned out to be our best Seattle plant-based meal.
Voodoo Doughnut, Seattle - Vegan Options
Cinnaholic Gourmet Cinnamon Rolls, Seattle - Vegan Treats
Cinnaholic is a little quiet about the fact that they are plant-based but of course, that is a well known fact within the vegan sphere. The rest of you folks would never know the difference, that I can guarantee. On our walk home from Plum Bistro, we decided to stop for some dessert, or at least to get some dessert for later.
Plum Bistro, Seattle - Vegan Restaurant
I wanted so badly, for this to be our favourite vegan meal in Seattle. Makini Howell, at the head of this small empire, is featured in a New York Times article as one of 16 African American chefs who are changing food in America. It's behind a paywall and I am too cheap to pay for news but I think she is the only one who is vegan. She grew up in a family that was vegan and was the personal chef to Stevie Wonder for a year (Wow). Her cookbook, Simple Goodness, is available for pre-order now! Everything aligned for us to be so impressed!
Georgetown Liquor Company - Vegan Menu
Plantiful Superfoods, Seattle - Vegan Cafe
As soon as I saw the word "Superfoods" in the name of this place, I was skeptical. Some foods are better for you and maybe some are not good for you, but there is no such thing as a superfood. It is a marketing word aimed at us, the masses. At least it's not as bad as the words "natural"' or "free range" or "low-calorie". And while we're on the subject of marketing, I have stopped watching any YouTube videos that have any kind of even mildly shocking or catastrophic terms in their titles. If you're that desperate for clicks, then I'm just not that interested...but I digress.
Kati Vegan Thai - Seattle
In the South Lake Union area of Seattle, there are quite a few vegan or vegan-friendly places to eat which makes us quite happy. On the first day of our Seattle weekend, we ate lunch at a fully plant-based restaurant called Kati Vegan Thai.
Seattle Weekend
So we decided to spend the last weekend of 2024 in Seattle. We hadn't been across the border in a long time. As a matter of fact, we ended 2023 by spending the last weekend in Portland, Oregon and that was our last foray stateside. It's a combination of getting hammered on costs because of our dollar and just preferring to keep our dollars in Canada. You people who still cross the border to buy cheap gas, and complain about taxes in Canada, need a way to try the US medical coverage for a while to realize how good you have it. Anyway, we still like Seattle and there are a few nice touristy places to visit and some pretty good vegan restaurants. I find that about Christmas time, you can score some decent hotel prices (it is all relative). So we booked a couple of nights at the Springhill Suites downtown, a decent place, and a place we have stayed a few times in the distant past.
