Vegan in Seattle

I started eating vegan in January, to get my cholesterol under control through diet instead of the statin (Crestor) I'd been taking for many years.

Because I live in Seattle, I thought it'd be easy to find vegan or vegan-friendly restaurants. Much to my surprise--I mean, this is Seattle after all!--it's been harder than I thought. But, by asking vegan friends and doing some research and some serendipity, I've compiled a decent list. There are actually a fair number of places, most of which I haven't gotten to try yet.

Vegan restaurants:

• Araya's Vegetarian Place (U District and Madison Valley) -- Thai vegan.
• Brown Sugar Baking Company & The Urban Buggy (Judkins Park)  
• Bamboo Garden (Lower Queen Anne) -- Traditional Chinese vegetarian cuisine, with all "meat", "poultry", and "seafood" items are made from vegetable protein products and 100% vegetable oil. I loved it. UPDATE: A report of not being fully vegan.
• Chaco Canyon Organic Café (U District) -- I loved the lentil burger. I also liked their chili recipe with beans & spices in a Mason jar product that you make at home. 
• Flying Apron Bakery (Fremont) -- Does vegan, gluten free baked goods. I've had some cookies, and they were good.
• Highline (Capitol Hill) -- I haven't tried this yet.
• Jodee's Desserts (Green Lake) -- Raw vegan desserts.
• Loving Hut (Downtown) -- Locations worldwide. I haven't tried this yet but might in Prague this summer.
• Mighty-o donuts (Wallingford) -- Vegan donuts & coffee.
• No Bones Beach Club (Ballard) -- "Lively space doling out ambitious vegan fare & tiki cocktails amidst tropical décor."
• Pizza Pi (U District) -- A vegan pizzeria in the vegan neighborhood of the U District.
• Plum Bistro (Capitol Hill) -- Everything has been delicious for me so far.
• Plum Cafe (Capitol Hill) -- A little hole-in-the-wall lunch place. Four 2-person bar height tables inside and two 2-person tables outside. I tried the Venice Beach burger and loved it.
• Plum Pantry (Seattle Center) -- I took several one-pound meals home for dinners to reheat later, all of which I liked.
• Thrive (Roosevelt District) -- I haven't tried it yet.
• The Veggie Grill (U Village, South Lake Union, and Downtown) -- I had a Bombay Bowl which I liked a lot. Love their vision: To change the way the world eats, thinks and talks about vegetarian food.
• Violet Sweet Shoppe (Laurelhurst) -- Delicious vegan desserts!
• Wayward Vegan Cafe (U District) -- Large menu. Focused on faux meats, as opposed to just starches, vegetables, and fruits.

Vegetarian restaurants that also have good vegan:

• Cafe Flora (Madison Valley) -- All vegetarian and vegan--really good! 
• Chuminh Tofu and Vegan Deli (International District) -- I haven't tried this. Read reviews before you do.
• Cyber-Dogs (Denny Triangle @ the Convention Center -- A fun, quirky, throwback of a place that does vegetarian and vegan hotdogs ... and Internet terminals. The owner is a Russian native from St. Petersburg, Tatiana, who is quite fun to talk to. I tried the Bayou dog which was spicy hot, as advertised. UPDATE: This is now closed.
• Georgetown Liquor Company (Georgetown) -- Many items are or can be served vegan. I'd agree with my friend's assessment: "quite funky, fun, and good." I had the Picard--yum!
• In the Bowl Bistro (Capitol Hill) -- A great hole-in-the-wall vegetarian noodle bistro.
• Jhanjay (Wallingford and Ballard) -- Vegetarian Thai. I haven't tried it yet.
• My Sweet Lord (U District) -- Indian. Hare Krishna. I haven't tried it yet.
• Samuri Noodle (Capitol Hill, U District, and International District) -- Great noodles, lots of vegan options.
• Silence-Heart-Nest (Fremont) -- Breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Closed Tuesdays.
• St. Dames (Columbia City) -- Don't be fooled by the strip mall location--it's very well regarded. I loved hushpuppy appetizers, the garbanzo burger, and vegan chocolate cheesecake for dessert.
• Sunlight Café (Roosevelt District) -- The tempeh burger with caramelized onions is outstanding.
• Sutra (Wallingford) -- I haven't tried this yet.
• Travelers Thali House (North Beacon Hill) -- I haven't tried this yet.
• Turmeric 'n More (online) -- Vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian meals delivered. I haven't tried this yet.
• Wedgewood II (Capitol Hill) -- Vegetarian Thai. I had pot stickers (vegetarian), yellow curry, and brown rice for $20, but I took half of everything home so I got two full meals out of it.

Other vegan-friendly restaurants:

• Healeo (Capitol Hill) -- Vegan soft serve and supplements. I haven't tried this yet.
• Moonlight Cafe (Minor) -- Vietnamese. Ask for the vegetarian menu. I haven't tried this yet.
• Razzi's Pizzeria (Greenwood) -- Ask for the vegan menu. I had the BBQ chicken pizza loved it. Fun place.
• Sizzle Pie (Capitol Hill) -- A broad selection of vegan pizzas. Here's a short review in The Stranger (link).

Vegan ice-cream:

• Molly Moon's (several locations) -- They always have one rotating vegan flavor.
• Frankie & Jo's (Capitol Hill) -- All flavors are vegan.
• Full Tilt Ice Cream (several locations) -- I haven't tried this yet, but I understand that they have several vegan flavors.

What vegan or vegan-friendly establishments in Seattle have I missed? Please let me know.

UPDATE: I was handed a "Vegan Restaurant Guide" at the Fremont Fair. You'll find more complete listings at VegSeattle.com. For your convenience so you don't have to fill out a search query, I updated the lists above for Seattle proper, borrowing liberally from the paper guide I was handed.
