This place came highly recommended - we got there at 3:15 / they close at 3:00 - fortunately people are still working inside on their baked goods, and they opened the door for us, THANK YOU! As we walked in we were greeted by assorted fresh baked goods - lined all over the tables and WOW! The smell is insane. The cornmeal muffins are delicious - the rustic loaves are crazy tasty - their carrot cake is probably the best I ever had and lastly the cinnamon roll is absolutely amazing ask for gorgeous Emilio read more

Stopped in to buy a few pastries and coffee on our way to Point Robinson Park. The pasties choices are AMAZING! Wow, generous portions. We bought a blueberry muffin and a croissant with lemon curd on it. Huge! Delicious! The cashier was friendly and gentleman that prepared our coffees were both very friendly. They have a wonderful home cooked type menu, next time we are dining in. You could see into the kitchen and it definitely looks like a working kitchen, you can see the baking equipment and ingredients. The dining area is eclectic and from the outside as you enter you are taken into what felt like a big cozy living room . The bake goods are to die for, I can only imagine how delicious the menu items are! read more

If you like the vintage vibe, you will love this cafe. We tried their coffee cake. It was huge so just right for two people. I got their chai tea which was wonderful and awakened all my taste buds. Hubby got americano and he said it was deep and nutty read more

Being 100% transparent this place is not great, but it's not terrible. The service was friendly! They gave us time to look at all the options being our first time. The place makes you feel like you're stepping back in time to the 1960's! Very old school vibe. Now, as for the food the most important part of this review. The food cost way too much for what you get. The only reason we visited was from all the people raving about this place, but one look at their reviews and they tell a different story. So if you're in the mood for decent food but old school vibes come visit! read more

We were searching for a morning coffee and nibble and Snapdragon sold me on its charm and many recommendations. The building is just impossibly cute- there are so many seats and I love the rustic mismatched collections of furniture and vintage decorations. Don't skip peeking in the back too, as they have lots of outdoor covered and uncovered seating set in a lush green backdrop, with even a playful mini log-cabin spot that both kids and adults would love. They made a good cortado and I loved their egg croissiant sandwich with salsa and side salad. The raspberry oat brick was tough as a brick though, and we all put in plenty of arm grease to cut through it with metal utensils. The eggplant sheet pizza was nice but I would have loved more eggplant to shine. Sometimes the line can be a bit disorganized but folks are well meaning and friendly. Definitely worth a visit! :) read more

Snapdragon has long been on my list for restaurants to try in Vashon. On our latest trip there we determined that it was time to try some places we haven't been to before and we prioritized Snapdragon. It was a good plan for this stop to happen as the result was a very positive experience. There are primarily meatless options here. I got the Tofu Scramble while Steve got a bowl of soup. My scramble also had chunks of potato in it so gave it a good filler. They have what looked like to be an amazing bakery and we got the maple walnut roll to take home to have later. It was really fantastic and easily a guilty indulgence that I could easily succumb to often if I was close to this place. But I am like that with pastries. read more

The vibe in snapdragon is very hippie and eclectic. Very homey feeling. The staff were super friendly. The food fell short in my opinion. I had a Mediterranean type bowl. The tomato sauce on the dolmas was too acidic. I wished the feta was crumbled instead of a block. Everything else was okay. They claim to have gluten free options but have very limited options. Would come back again and try something different next time! read more

Best bakery in the state. ...based on the West Seattle store. Love those ladies and their warm customer service. It is our go to after working out in Friday's. We also sneak treats in non work out days. Everything is fresh and made with care. No one else compares. read more

This is a local Vashon Island gem! Everything from the eclectic decor to the menu all add to the unique experience you will have. Not to mention every interaction with the front of house staff was great! The gals suggested some great food choices the frittata and the focaccia pizza! They also new we weren't from the area and gave us great suggestions on local places to explore The eats! The baked egg frittata came with pickled veggies and fresh baked bread! The flavors balanced so well. The red tomato based sauce balanced out the saltiness of frittata. Then if you added the vinegar based pickled veggies to that you had a well balanced explosion of flavor. The bread was warm, fluffy, and delicious! The focaccia bread pizza had red bell pepper, jalapeño, and onion was so good! It had just a hint of spice that amped up the flavor! I think this is a local must eat! If you are on Vashon head to Snapdragon! The have pastries too! read more

This cafe has a great, unique space with a lovely patio and lots of seating for large or small groups. They had lots of vegetarian friendly options and breakfast mimosas and bloody Mary's. I got an eggplant sandwich, and the bread was thick and dry really fell apart, I had to eat it with a fork and didn't finish it. I'd like to try their baked goods but would pass on a sandwich from here. read more

Snapdragon - Eggplant sandwich and slaw - Vegetarian Near Me - Vashon, Washington

Must try if you ever visit Vashon Island!! Take the ferry, it is a quick ride over. Snapdragon has sooo many food options to choose from and their portions are insane. The staff here are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. The shop offers indoor and outdoor seating, couches, tables, benches, books, etc! Super cool spot to chill and catch up with a friend. Bonus: ask about the lighthouse and Oscar the Troll! read more

First time at a Snapdragon. There are several locations and this one is on Vashon Island. Not disappointed at all. Two pastries-cinnamon roll and a blueberry danish. Perfect. Along with a pesto eggs. Which was exactly that, eggs served on a focaccia style bread, pesto, eggs and cheese. Accompanied with arugula and a fresh crisp coleslaw. Perfect for sharing. The chai tea had a spicy bite to it and absolutely delicious. They serve cocktails too along with beer. What a great spot. Do yourself a favor and come here! Friendly service and a fun atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. Stay sweet people. SYOY! read more

Snapdragon - Cinnamon rolls and cherry danish - Vegetarian Near Me - Vashon, Washington

If you are visiting Vashon Island, this is a must stop for a delicious pastry, especially the cinnamon bun. The brown sugar butter crisp on the edges is so delicious. I'm not from Washington and was confused that drip coffee wasn't available but was easily substituted with an Americano. There is a lot of space both inside and outside and the rustic antique decor adds to the experience. read more

Delicious handmade savoury and sweet pastries located on California Avenue. We went back multiple times and our favourites were the cinnamon roll (must try), peach coffee cake as well as the chocolate fudge cake (which is also gluten free). The portions are massive and definitely to share. Usually very busy and pastries are sold out on Sundays so we recommend going in the mornings. read more

I had lunch at snapdragon a few months ago. I'd run my calories down far enough that I couldn't make a decision. The proprietor created a vegan meal that was delicious and very filling, with a lovely spicy zip! The coffee was fantastic and a vegan nut and berry bar absolutely hit the spot! read more

Right when we hopped off the ferry, we checked this place out as we were very hungry. We got a blueberry cherry danish, chocolate donut, and egg croissant sandwich to share with a friend. Prices were high but also portions were large, and overall, the place is more quantity over quality. I enjoyed the blueberry cherry danish the most as it was sweet but also fruity, while the chocolate donut was overbearingly sweet. The donut had a chewy texture which was a little bit unique. The egg croissant sandwich is 50% good - the top croissant was perfectly baked, while the bottom was way too soggy so it was a miss. The sogginess was due to them adding tomato sauce which is interesting to add for an egg sandwich. There was not that much egg in the sandwich to make it worth the $17.50 price tag. Overall, this place has good pastries but their brunch menu items may be hit or miss, but to be fair we only tried 1 item. Don't be intimidated by the lines, especially if you order pastries only as they deliver those to you very quickly. Besides, there is ample seating both indoors and outdoors that you can enjoy the meal - so this is more of a fast casual, self-service type of place. read more

Our first trip with our daughter to Vashon Island and Snapdragon Bakery and we will DEFINITELY return. Delicious breakfast and coffee. Then when checking out the baked goods we got to chat with one of the owners. Adam, after we talked about the leftover croissants, suggested we return in an hour for some fresh baked ones. We just talked about how our daughter just got married a few days earlier and when we returned, he gifted us the fresh croissants and a pastry! We shared but oh my.....how generous and delicious! Thanks for a wonderful experience! Your new fans from Nee Hampshire! (visited on January 31, 2025) read more

The pickings on Vashon can be slim at times, but Snapdragon delivered us tasty pastries and a warm and cozy (and dog friendly!) environment to enjoy them. Our group of 7 ended up at Snapdragon "accidentally" when the place we intended to go fell through. What a happy accident! The line when we arrived wove across the entryway, and it was a little confusing figuring out which was the head and which was the tail of that serpent. Someone came up front (the owner?) and introduced us to the items in the display case and answered our questions -- a helpful move because nothing was labeled and we would otherwise have been lost -- then left us to make our decisions which we conveyed to the person working the register. In addition to the pastries on display, they also offer a menu of made-to-order breakfast and lunch items. My husband and I shared a Turkish pizzette and an apple & peach galette. Both were delicious. The galette was enormous and could feed several people or two people several times. There's no wrong answer there. I tried a sip of a dirty chai latte but disliked it greatly because 1) it was too clovey (that's on me) and 2) it was too chunky (that's on the barista). There's a full bar in the back section of the cafe so I assume they're open evenings as well. Minus one star because of the confusing line and unlabeled goods. I'd definitely come back for pastries though. read more

How I heard of this place: Friends of ours introduced us on a recent visit to Vashon. With so many (all?) vegetarian and vegan options, they have something to satisfy most diets. Type of cuisine: Texas sized portions of baked goods and savory meals served with baked goods, all made in house. Cuisines from all over the globe are adapted here and made into meals to serve their customers - East Indian, Mediterranean, American and more. Ambiance: From the outside, a strip mall adjacent to a gas station, the place is unassuming and perhaps less than enticing. Inside, the quaint and cozy space is a perfect hippy haven, with rustic furnishings, mismatched tables and chairs, and dark wooden interiors. Several picnic tables are also available outside for seating - and dog-friendly. Walk up to the order counter just inside and place your orders - making sure to take a look at the baking tray displays of oversized croissants, cinnamon rolls, etc. to the left. Take your seat and return to pick up orders when your name is called (sometimes they bring food out to your table). No frills, yet cozy and welcoming. What I ordered: We had a party of seven, so we ordered several items off of the menu. For me, the Baked Egg Fritatta ($18.50) with roasted potatoes, caramelized onions, ricotta, sage and tomato, served with a side of cabbage slaw and house-made focaccia toast. For my husband, the Bahn Mi ($18.50) with marinated tofu, shredded green and red cabbage, carrots, cilantro and jalapeno on house made bread. For my teenaged cousin, the East Indian Stuffed Pancakes ($18.50) filled with peppers, potatoes, peas, carrots, cilantro and ginger topped with two fried eggs and a side of raita. For the 8-year old, a feta-tomato-olive flatbread pizza. For our local friends, one order of the Mid East Plate ($18.50) with a black bean hummus, stuffed grape leaves, feta, artichoke hearts and tomatoes plus a side of bread; and the Marinated Kale & Feta Sandwich ($18.00) with sundried tomato and olive tapanade, pickled red onion on housemade focaccia. Self-serve water, napkins, and silverware (wooden, too) is available to the right of the register - beyond the volleyball sized chocolate chip cookies piled high onto a baking sheet. What I loved: The friendly, neighborhood, welcoming local service with smiles and sincere gratitude. The only food item/plate that was worth a second bite was the East Indian pancakes which were flavorful and novel. We may have caught them on an off day, perhaps a new cook was working, or a new oven was being tested out, but everything was dry and burnt (except the toast). The cinnamon roll was hard and black, the fritatta's burnt top difficult to cut into, the flatbread crisp and too hard to enjoy the crust, as well as the cookie's burnt edges which crumbled into the bag, opposite the cakey middle which was soft but beyond "golden". Flavors were lacking - as if seasoning was an issue on this visit, and the overabundance of cumin seeds on EVERYTHING made it difficult to enjoy the meals ordered. We would come back for another try, but would definitely be cautious about ordering the baked goods. Why I loved it: We love local spots, especially when recommended by locals who frequent the establishment. Cost: High, overpriced. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this magical cafe on our way for a paddle on the island. We immediately decided we wanted to serve their incredible pastries over our wedding weekend. Adam was so spectacular to work with, and our guests couldn't have been happier with the freshly baked goods. I can't recommend this cafe enough, truly. Ambiance, customer service, and food quality are literally the best. Thanks, Adam, for helping to make our island elopement so spectacular. See you soon! read more

Tried the West Seattle location first but they had a limited selection due to farmers market day crowds. Wanted to try the original Vashon location so went with anticipation, but was disappointed. Their almond croissant was nothing like a croissant other than vaguely being shaped like one. It was an underbaked doughy brioche texture. The chocolate cake had a texture like cornbread and was incredibly dry. Our iced lattes were so watered down that the drink just looked like a slightly dark milk and the store ran out of cold cup lids so we had to drink them precariously in the car. I'm not sure what I'm missing. read more

When I was looking for must do's on Vashon, Snapdragon was on the list of suggested places. When you walk in, they have a huge case of baked items all priced at $6. While it's cool to have it all priced the same, I would say not all baked goods are created equal. Decided to get a scone and a cookie. The scone was good with a nice crunch. Without the crunch though, it was a wee bit on the dry side. The cookie was just ok. It was huge but the flavor wasn't there for me. Staff was nice, the actual bakery is cute and inviting. read more

Delicious hugh pastry and yummy meals! On St Patrick's Day got the tastiest vegan Shepherds pie, wish I could have again! Two thumbs up!

Holy big servings, Batman. I'm pretty sure the donuts were the size of the heads of the kids who ate them. A great place for a coffee/pastry/brunch stop when you're on Vashon Island. Might even be worth the ferry ride if you aren't on the island and wake up wanting an amazing croissant and coffee or tea latte. The place is located in a converted service station. Parking is not plentiful, but there is on street parking that doesn't require too much of a walk. We were there on a busy summer day and the line moved quickly and there was not too much of a wait between ordering and pastry yumminess arriving at our table. We did order just beverages and pastries and not any menu items. Would try something off the menu next time, for sure. read more

Great place for breakfast treats and coffee. Cozy spot and casual. Don't come here often because it's in Vashon but wish I could go more.

They have a huge selection of bakery items as well as brunch food. The donuts were okay, but the other bakery items we tried were tasty! They don't have any seating available so you'd have to eat to go or in the standing area in the front. read more

This is a review for the Vashon location. The space is lovely with plenty of seating, but in terms of food this was the worst brunch I've had in years. The bread was dry, the mozzarella in the caprese sandwich was somehow melted on the outside and cold on the inside, the croissant for the scrambled egg was croissant wasn't flaky and was heavy and bready inside, and for some reason it had tomato sauce on it. The pastries looked amazing but even they were only okay. Wish we'd gone to the pizza place down the street instead. read more

Snapdragon was a 10/10 - I would absolutely recommend stopping here for a bite to eat, or a pastry to go. First of all, the staff was so nice - and they were BUSY. It's just adorable inside and out, with a genuine mom and pop feel. Everything looked delicious, but we got a Maple Cronut and a Cherry and Blueberry Danish. Both were great, but the Cronut was #1. Both were HUGE, so you can absolutely share with multiple people. Such a great find! read more

What a cute spot for breakfast and lunch and their pastries are huge! Definitely worth a stop when on Vashon, though its a bit pricy. I ordered the papusa which was super tasty and served with pickled slaw. Just an FYI that the black beans are actually chili, so definitely a bit different than I anticipated. Hubs ordered the croissant with eggs and salsa, which seemed like a cross between salsa and marinara. The croissant was really good, tho the salsa made the bottom a bit soggy, so may be better for dipping than as a spread on the croissant. We also ordered a couple of pastries which were super tasty. read more

This is the coziest brunch spot I've ever been in! It felt like we were eating at our own home. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. It was our first time visiting Vashon Island and they were so kind giving suggestions on what to order and even gave us a generous free slice of cake to try! On top of that their food was AMAZING! I didn't even realize this was a vegetarian restaurant until after when my friend mentioned it. Aside from the brunch entrees, they have giant pastries you can choose from. If we weren't going to other spots for food I would've ordered some more to try but they're very large portions! Next time I'd like to get the cinnamon roll and one of the danishes. Yum! This is great to share with a group of friends so you can have a taste of everything. The chai latte here was the best I've had during my stay in Seattle. I'm not a coffee person so I order chai lattes at almost every cafe if it's available. They had actual spices in the drink which a lot of places lack so I really enjoyed my drink too. I'd highly recommend this place and will be back every time I visit! read more
