The Best Vegan Breakfast in Seattle [2025 Guide]

There's no denying the gloriousness that is breakfast food.

And thankfully for us veg-heads, there are a handful of amazing places to grab vegan breakfast in Seattle!

Note: This guide is different from my weekend vegan brunch guide to Seattle; this breakfast guide is for places that serve breakfast on weekdays and mornings in Seattle.

Choices range from breakfast burritos to scrambles to waffles and more. If you’re looking for more of a quick-service coffee shop with vegan options, head to my Vegan-friendly Coffee Shops Guide.

Seriously - if you're ever having a moment of weakness regarding veganism, or just want to WOW your non-vegan friends, take them to these top-rated vegan-friendly spots for a delicious breakfast.

Where To Get Vegan Breakfast In Seattle

We love Cafe Red because it's a quaint little cafe right off the light rail stop in Othello. They also recently switched their menu to fully-plant based, so we love them even more!

Cafe Red keeps it simple: Delicious vegan breakfast sandwiches, wraps, avocado toast, and fair trade coffee. What more could you need? (Maybe a delicious vegan pastry and a hash brown patty!) Pair your meal with an amazing cup of coffee for a real treat.

Come for the cinnamon roll, stay for the rosemary biscuits and vegan country gravy. And then come back for another cinnamon roll.

This is what makes Cafe Flora one of the best places to enjoy a delicious vegan breakfast in Seattle. Much of their menu is also "veganizable" so there are plenty of options outside of these must-haves. Located in Madison Valley.
