    Bacun burger with tater tots.
    Charlie L.

    A vegan dive bar (is that a thing?) crossed with a vegan diner (even rarer of a thing?) in a converted Chinese restaurant (ok seriously?) If you're into the oddities of juxtapositions, this is definitely the place for you. You walk in and are immediately confused. No hostess, no clear signage... just a doorbell on a counter telling you to press it to let them know you're there. If you came in prepared for this non-standard operation... it certainly adds to the super quirky vibe. If not, I can imagine you might be a bit frustrated. Food is definitely greasy-spoon-dive-bar worthy. Extra points for tater tots and curly fries. Wish there were some more "fresh" options, but if you're a meat eater craving bar food, you might not be sad about the cheesy greasy burgers. Frankly I'm too straight laced for this... but I got my obligatory bacun (sic) burger and saw myself out after leaving a hefty tip. I love the wonderful waitress and the owner's creativity for filling out a niche that I'm not sure anyone recognized as a gap to be filled. I most certainly will point a few folks to this for the novelty factor but given this is not really the kind of food I eat, nor my kind of scene, I probably won't be a regular.

    I am not vegan and have no desire to be (as I lack discipline lol). But the food is so good here. I've had their burgers, fries, and wings. And they're delicious. It's a cool little place with its own flair. I'd recommend to give it a try!

    Somewhat of a hidden gem. This spot located off of Broadway in Everett is a great American style vegan restaurant! When you walk in, the vibes are bright and neon with lots of cool art to see. There was only one server when I went, but they made the experience all the worth it by sharing their favorites on the menu. With a sugar cane stick to support the wing, the sauce, texture and comfort I got from having some vegan wings was amazing. Definitely need to try a brat + beer next!

    Just some of the decor

    First impressions: Entering the business they have a door bell clicker you click to get service. Seating was quick. While there is new decor, the decor from the old owners, Thai restaurant, remains. Hopefully they can get that removed soon. The area is COLD. If you are someone who gets chilly or cold easily, BRING A COAT, sweater or just something to keep warm because it is FREEZING. Food came quickly. They offer stubborn brand soda which is the best! We got the soft pretzels with sweet mustard SOOOOO GOOD. The bread was perfect lil crunch and super soft on inside. My husband got a Bacun (yes spelled this way in menu not a spelling error ) burger and I got the classic burger. I was super worried about my carnivor husband and how he would like it, especially when the food showed up. The bacon looks like brown bacon dog strips. You know the commercial, "BACON BACON BACON WHERE? ITS BACON!" Lol. But he took a bite and LOVED IT. He actually was trying to figure out what this animal friendly bacun was so he could buy some lmao! The fries werw awesome too, I dunno if they were cooked in beer batter like the fried pickles or what but were so good. My husband ate it ALL. Lol it was nice to rub it in that vegan food does in fact taste good! Lmao We will definitely be going again! Just with a hoodie next time

    It's been a minute since my initial review and I've been back so many times. This is now a different location, much bigger and better, with its own parking lot which I consider a huge plus. As previously mentioned I've been hanging out in Everett for a long time and I never would have imagined this run down Asian restaurant would become a future vegan mecca. Plus now it has a bar area, with pinball even. I would love to see more events/meet ups happening here as there seems to be plenty of space and the ideal spot for vegan socializing. I have now dined here with countless people and every time I go I try to remind myself that I should really go more often. Everything I've had I absolutely love and my non veg dining partners are usually fans too. I try to get something different every time, but I do have my favorites like the ranch dressing and the curly fries. It's fun that they often have weekend specials so even if you feel like you have had the whole menu there are still new things to try regularly. I most recently had a delicious mac and cheese, bacon burger which I begged to have added to the regular menu. I previously found the Yo Egg burger to be really interesting, but messy, ask for extra napkins. My biggest problem with coming here is that it is so hard to choose what to get, thankfully they are always willing to help me decide. The vibe and decor are amazing. Everyone working here is super nice. They are always happy to answer questions about the food. I worry about the future location if they lose this building, but for now it is the best thing ever and you should definitely check it out. This place, in my opinion, is by far the best vegan option in Sno Co.

    I am a meatatarian. I am not vegan; I am not vegetarian. I was dragged here for a double date and scoffed at their dairy-free cheese and wild ways of making plants taste like meat. "I'm going to hate this," I thought. No, I KNEW. So I begrudgingly got the Western burger as it had BBQ sauce and an onion ring on it and sounded like the least painful option. And it's one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. I can't believe I'm actually writing this. I didn't even take a picture of the burger because I was too busy sneering at it when the friendly servers brought it over. I don't even know what the imitation cheese is made of. Or the patty. I don't want to know. All I know is that it was delicious. I can't believe I actually want to go back here. Like, my experience here shook my very beliefs to their core. Bravo, Bayside.

    Weekend Ramen Special (not a regular menu dish)

    Bayside is a wonderful place to have some great vegan comfort food! My wife and I are from Seattle, but whenever we are in Everett, we definitely make a stop at Bayside! This spot is an Everett treasure for sure! The service is phenomenal. The staff are always so kind and pleasant to us. The restaurant has a great vibe. It is located in a former Asian restaurant and it definitely has that vibe in its decor, but also has a cool new funky vibe as well! It's definitely a casual ambiance as well. The food was phenomenal. I had the deep fried pickles, BBQ soy curls sandwich, and the confetti cupcake. My wife had the Ramen weekend special (not a regular dish). The food was absolutely delicious and had an amazing taste. We both enjoyed our food and the cupcake was good as well. I highly recommend Bayside for great comfort vegan food eats and we will be back!

    There is plenty of parking and they are conveniently located right on an intersection on Broadway. As soon as you walk in you experience bright colors, fun decor, and the very strong settled-in greasy smell of an old Chinese restaurant. We were greeted promptly and told to sit wherever we liked, they have plenty of tables, booths, and even have a separate bar area. Service was friendly, but very slow considering how few people were dining at 2p on a Wednesday (not once were we checked on after getting our food, and all of our dirty dishes remained on our table even after we ordered dessert.) The fried pickles were the best thing we ordered, tempura battered and perfectly cooked. The lavender drink I got only tasted like passion fruit, and the cheesecake was bland. The meat substitute on the breakfast sandwich tasted like the Impossible brand, and the hash brown comes on the sandwich with a side of fries. Neither the sandwich or burger were finished at the table, the curly fries were okay but definitely needed salt. When we got home about an hour after dining, both of our stomachs were upset (possibly due to the high fat content). I don't think we will be back, but if we ever do we plan on trying the Nachitos from the appetizer menu.

    I tried this vegan restaurant in Everett for the first time last week. I heard about it on a news article saying it's one of the best vegan restaurants in the area. From the outside, it doesn't look very inviting. But the inside is really large and well decorated, with a bar lounge area and a regular dining area with booths and lots of seating. The staff were super friendly, giving me great recommendations for what to order and good conversation. I ordered the vegan buffalo wings, which is made from homemade seitan wrapped around a fake bone and fried, then dipped in buffalo sauce. This was really delicious, and you can tell it's made with a lot of love, a very unique dish. For entrees, me and my friend ordered burgers with different toppings. They came with beyond beef, vegan cheese, sauces, and fun toppings like onion rings, vegetables, and more. It came with curly fries or regular fries, and the staff gave us tons of unique sauces for dipping. The burgers were really good, but the star of the show was the buffalo wings! Staff recommended the fried pickles and mushrooms, but were too full to try. I hope to go back and try them soon. We ordered 2 cupcakes, the chocolate bomb one and a birthday cake one. Both were delicious and made great leftovers! I really recommend this place. The staff is lovely and put a ton of energy and effort into their food and quality service. The space is large, so you can come with a good group of people. Everything is fresh and it was a great experience. I really recommend this restaurant! I attached some photos of the menu.

    It's a clean, great restaurant with a greasy vegan dive menu. Think tater tots, burgers, fries. They're delicious, filling, and crunchy.

    This place is the best!! I've been here a few times now and I always get the same order - breakfast…read moreburrito with avocado and London fog tea or their seasonal coffee beverages. I've been wanting to try their chocolate chip cookie but it's never ready when I've gone. Their burrito is delicious though, it's packed and super filling, not to mention the sauces are the best part! I wish they gave a little more as I end up finishing the sauces before the burrito is done because they're sooo tasty with the burrito. I also wish they had other meat options other than bacon. They don't have chicken add ins but other than that it's a great place! I've also had their biscuit and jam, but that's just ok. I wouldn't get it again. It's not that tasty or memorable. There's lots of seating, food is ready fairly quickly, service is great and employees are friendly, and parking right outside. So convenient!

    I've been a frequent customer of Narrative Coffee for the past year and a half because of its nice…read moreatmosphere and its location. However, and I'd like to share my feedback on my experiences. - The food is decent, though it's often prepared for presentation rather than taste. It frequently arrives cold. - The coffee and tea are overpriced and tastes mediocre. - for instance, I paid $8 for a 4-ounce mix of espresso and orange juice that made my stomach hurt. - I also paid nearly $7 for the "peach blossom tea" and ended up getting 3/4 cup of ice, packet tea, and sweetener in a cup. - I've tried nearly everything on the drink menu and nothing is 'great' - The wait time for an order is incredibly long, and the employees are often distracted and preoccupied with other tasks, making it difficult to get my order taken. Overall, go to narrative for the ambiance and food, NOT the drinks.
