    Breakfast sandwich (vegan egg, vegan sausage)
    Jessica H.

    Cute little hole-in-the-wall vegan coffeeshop with good food. I had the breakfast sandwich and Pumpkin Spice Latte. I took it to nearby Seward Park to enjoy. Both were good -- the breakfast sammie was filling and the Pumpkin Spice Latte was just the right mix of coffee, milk, and spices. (I don't love it when the spice flavour overpowers the coffee flavour, like a lot of places, and that was definitely not the case here). Staff was courteous though a little distant. Parking was a bit difficult but not too crazy...but they are right outside the Othello light rail station so that's probably a much easier way to get there. I also appreciated that Cafe Red takes a stand in important social issues. Would definitely go back.

    Avocado toast with a side of bacon
    Mecca F.

    I have actually went back to this place several times to order different things off the menu and I can say it is a vegan location. The avocado toast with bacon was greatly seasoned. The sandwiches are pure tasteful. The customer service is quick fast and friendly Has room for dining inside. It's a welcoming space parking could be a challenge but overall great food.

    chorizo breakfast burrito
    Sarah S.

    I came in at 12:15 on Friday afternoon for lunch. My stay was short and sweet (and savory). I ordered the Bacon Burrito and their seasonal drink, a Raspberry Matcha latte. I love their breakfast burritos-this one actually does not have any bacon in it (Cafe Red is all vegan), but they make it so well. It is so warm and filling, and I love their salsa and sauce that came with it! Their Raspberry Matcha latte is something I hope will stay on their menu full time. It was perfectly balanced, and it wasn't too sweet. It was easy to tell that it tasted like raspberry without it tasting artificial. They absolutely nailed this drink. I love Cafe Red! They are right outside the Othello light rail station. They are easy to get to and their service is excellent. They also have a cool mural on one of their bathroom walls. I can't come back soon enough.

    raspberry matcha latte haley's comet gf energy bite - almond cranberry coconut avocado hash brown (gf)avocado
    Wennie H.

    Shop is small, so there is limited seating and can get quite loud. Parking isn't challenging, recommend parking a street over because there isn't a lot in front of the cafe. Service is very friendly and helpful. I came mostly for the avocado hashbrown and Haley's comet (coconut, walnut, cranberry energy ball). I ended up also getting the seasonal raspberry matcha. The matcha was good but needed a touch more raspberry since it was super subtle. The nut ball was a little too sweet for me and the avocado hashbrown was super salty, it did have a great crunch.

    Pay special attention!! Avocado ON HASHBROWN!?

    This gem of a cafe was perfectly in between SEATAC and our Air BnB. We were just trying to find something along the way to our air bnb to grab a bite, and it turned out it was also vegan! (Yay for me!) This adorable bungalow cafe has all a person could crave for breakfast. I went with a breakfast English muffin w/sausage, egg, cheese. The bf went with the breakfast burrito. Together, we shared the avocado hash browns and each got a coffee drink. You read that right- AVOCADO HASH BROWNS!!! Think avocado toast but put with hash browns. I never knew I needed this in my life and now I can't imagine my life without it! The service here was super friendly. The cashier was helpful in answering our/my questions and definitely shared my enthusiasm over the fact that this cafe happened to be vegan, when I wandered here solely based on how it was just on the way to our next destination. The outdoor patio area was very cute but goodness was it HOT in the sun. It was nevertheless a little hideaway from the street and felt cozy yet open. I wish this cafe was nearby because I'd be a regular here for sure. One last thing to add, I discovered Stroop Club! In additional to Untapped Maple Stroop Waffles, there is a new plant-based waffle on the market! I bought one of each flavor and loved them all! Worth trying and ordering online when the craving strikes. I hope to visit Cafe Red again in the future!

    What a gem!!! We stopped at Care Red for breakfast. I absolutely loved the welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and the artwork of artists displayed throughout the cafe. Healthy vegan options, delicious coffees and teas. No wonder that this cafe was buzzing with customers! Amazing!

    Lovely outdoor patio area
    Lana S.

    What a great cafe! It's only my second visit here since I'm very rarely in the Othello area, but I had some extra time before heading to the Ms game today so I wanted to stop by. I love supporting vegan businesses. Parking can be a bit challenging in this area, but if you take light rail, it couldn't be easier since it's located right next to the Othello station. I ordered an oatnilla latte, this time with pistachio. I don't know what it is about these, I order a lot of iced oat vanilla lattes, but there's is really outstanding. SO delicious. The potato patty with avocado was tasty (how can you go wrong with fried potato and avocado) and the pesto sandwich was delish too. The staff were delightful, welcoming and kind and they have created a very cute and inviting outdoor patio space, perfect for a sunny spring day like today. Will try to come back sooner to try more of their treats!

    Drip coffee
    T L.

    The salsa was excellent and the orange/brown (chipotle?) sauce was yummy. The bacon burrito didn't taste much like bacon. Similarly the chorizo burrito didn't taste like chorizo. There didn't seem to be much scrambled egg in there either. Later I thought that maybe they were vegan. But the menu didn't mention that so I had assumed they were normal meat and egg items. We had the drip coffee which the barista said was light roast Colombian. It flat out tasted bad and for us was undrinkable. Not only was the taste sour with a bitter aftertaste, it had some weird funky flavor that we couldn't put our finger on. The provided cream also didn't mix very well in the coffee that sort of beaded on the surface of the coffee. Maybe they provided some sort of plant-based creamer? In any case, the cream pitcher had no label. Another review said there was ample seating inside and out. I didn't see any outside seating. All indoor seating is on metal stools or chairs up against a "bar" but no tables where you could sit and relax with a friend face to face. Update: Now that I know that the burritos were vegan, the burritos were excellent for vegan. Later I looked at another reviewer's picture of the menu and spotted the all vegan ribbon banner on the upper right corner. I hadn't seen that earlier.

    Awesome coffee shop to check out that offers both great coffee and good bites. They have plenty of seating inside and outside. I ordered their cannella mocha, and honestly it was delicious. I ordered their avocado hash brown which did not disappoint. I also ordered a side of tater tots with chipotle aioli, a perfect combo. The customer service was also super welcoming and patient as my friends and I tried to figure out our order. Overall wished I found this place sooner to be able to visit more often.

    always have a great experience coming into cafe red as the workers are so friendly and work quickly even if it's very busy! i started going more consistently this past year and its been great especially in the summer when you can enjoy their back patio :) i usually get their matcha which is so nice as its been hard to find a good one in seattle!! i have yet to order food but do want to try in the future

    I got the strawberry green tea drink and it was delicious

    I got the strawberry iced green tea and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and gave helpful suggestions to other types of drinks

    gluten-free avocado toast ($10.50) and cannella latte ($6.50)
    Wendi K.

    They are OPEN now and the outdoor patio is so cute as well as the inside. Plenty of seating and outlets for working. Tried the gluten free avocado toast ($9.50) and the canella latte ($6.50). AMAZING. The packaging is so sustainable and cute too. It's pricey ($21 for a teeny toast and 8 oz latte) but fully worth it.

    Absolute avocado  toast perfection
    Bria K.

    Cute, friendly, clean neighborhood gem. I am unfamiliar with plant based milks with my tea and they were happy to help. The avocado toast was perfection.

The pistachio was a dream. Fudge ribbons with a more than generous heap of pistachios. My personal favorite flavor of ice cream and Creamy Cone absolutely knocked this out of the park. The banana pudding was enough to bring this Kentucky native to tears. Pure excellence. Real Nilla wafers and real banana flavor. Absolutely top tier. They also have a large selection of toppings and multiple cone options. Such a sweet moment to end the day.

    Aiiiite, some things to note about this place when dining in for some delicious Vietnamese food:…read more 1. Cash Only - When you first come in, there are signs posted around the restaurant with the cash only sign. If you don't have any, Bank of America is only a few minutes away by walking. 2. Parking - Around the busy plaza, there's 2 free lots. One on the side (gets super packed since it's shared by multiple businesses) and there's a back lot (park with caution in the evening). 3. Limited Menu - This place specializes in a few Viet dishes. So don't be surprised if it doesn't have the typical pho / broken rice / banh mi options. Instead, specialty of this place is more on the egg and rice noodle soup, the sizzling beef platter or the beef stew. 4. Limited Take Out - Depending on how busy this place gets, most of the time, there will be no option to do take out/ to go orders. Best to dine in if you want to eat here. 5. Food - I tried all the food options here and top 2 favorites are the Bo Ne (sizzling steak plate) and the hu tieu mi ñam vang (dry version with a bowl of soup on the side). Both are solid and always so yummy and consistent. 6. Service - Hit or miss... if you really need something during the busy lunch hour, it's best to either wave your arms crazily in the air for attention or simply walk up to the register and tell the staff what you need. When settling the bill, just head to the register and let the cashier know what table you're sitting at. Overall, solid place to eat (with the hole in the wall kind of vibes) but just know there are some small quirks to it ahead of time so you won't be unpleasantly surprised.

    If i can give this place a zero star I will. First of all…read morethey don't accept cards, ONLY CASH. And no to-go.Keep that in mind. I thought they have the atm in the store that's why I went there. but apparently when we ask the owner about the atm she talked to me like I'm bothering her or sth. Walk away while telling me the atm is not in the restaurant and tell me to go to the bank outside. After had lunch here my friend and me feel extra thirsty and have some headache. Usually that the sign that we eat too much MSG. So this is first and last time. NEVER COMING BACK!

    Finally got a spot at this super chill restaurant in Othello. Took a couple times to get in because…read morethe other times the chef said she was cooking for a wedding. Not a bad idea to call ahead of time, but no reservations needed or possible. We went on a Saturday night and my boyfriend spontaneously ordered some meat and veggie with injera...it was absolutely delicious! We weren't really sure what to expect, however, because they didn't have any menus. They did have a sick Eritrean music video lineup though. The lighting was reddish and the place had a nice ambiance with local Eritreans drinking beer in the back outside the restaurant. If you like a little adventure, you will not be disappointed by Momona (misspelled on Yelp). It's also the only Eritrean restaurant in Seattle, according to its staff.

    My second visit was a COLOSSAL disappointment. I discovered Momona Cafe & Restaraunt last year at…read morethe Plate of Nations and was HUGELY impressed by the service, the amazing Ethiopian food, and the amount of food being served at a remarkably inexpensive price. The owner was quite happy to explain the dishes and was just a delight to chat with. She made the visit to Momona my favorite stop on the Plate of Nations list. My second visit was anything but impressive. Flies buzzing in numbers, they had to be fended off while dining, service had to be prompted numerous times to action to perform basic common tasks, couldn't answer any questions, serving dishes were dirty, the restaurant appeared to be very poorly kept both inside and out. The server didnt know how to ring me up: i was charged 2 additional times on my credit card & ultimately had to pay cash (now I have to come back to the restaurant to resolve their billing mistake). TRULY disappointed! I was hoping to make visits to Momona a regular periodic occurrence. Overall score: 2.5 / 5.0
