Half Rueben salad (vegan) with house bread
Erin N.

Looked forward to getting back here for a solid veg-forward meal with flavor and flair. Menu is currently default vegan with options to add chicken eggs or dairy milk/cheese. All the desserts and baked goods are vegan and many are also gluten free. Tofu rueben was messy and delicious with a thick slab of seasoned tofu slathered with sauerkraut, sauce, and melty coconut-based cheese. Soup of the day was a beetroot with cashew cream and dill, savory and so delicious that my partner who hates beets loved it. We also tried the special (anticuochoa bowl) which is absolutely worth trying. A bed of quinoa and kale topped with faux chick'n, lime agave cabbage slaw, pepitas and a ton of additional tasty sauces and toppings that made the whole thing amazingly tasty on top of nutritious.

Chickpea tuna sandwich and mushroom soup
Greta S.

What a wonderful surprise to arrive for a late late lunch and get to listen to poetry reading!! The chickpea tuna sandwich was yummy... I would order that again and again. The latte with oat milk was very nice and the mushroom soup was fabulous. I should note, everything we ate was vegan!

My dog and the delicous hot chocolate.

This place is so good! It's an adorable little vegan place tucked into historic downtown. The food was amazing, I had a sandwich and my bestie had the classic breakfast. We could bring our dog, which we always love!!! The service was well paced, especially for sitting outside in January!

The Black Dog is such a charming little café, and the best part? Everything is 100% vegan! They offer a great variety of options, from savory dishes to delightful vegan desserts. What's even better is their support for the local community with student music recitals, open mic nights, and more--such a nice touch. We tried a couple of sandwiches, quesadillas, and the pumpkin bar for dessert. Everything was delicious, but the pumpkin bar was the real standout--absolutely loved it! If you're looking for a cozy spot with tasty vegan food and a community-focused vibe, The Black Dog is definitely worth a visit.

Sorry, I ate it before a pic but the to go package says it all.

Service is so warm and inviting. The eclectic atmosphere makes for a fun conversation. I had the Reuben Salad, a deconstructed vegan Reuben Sandwich. It totally hit the spot with lots of flavor, will be having again. Leaving me refreshed and light for my walk through Snoqualmie. This is a unique, lovely place to relax your soul.

On a Monday, the downtown area of Snoqualmie is pretty dead, but leave it to this business to be open. The off day apparently is their most successful. It sounded kind of sad, but an all vegan restaurant is not exactly appealing to most. Vegan American food, as in, full of chemicals. The restaurant has shifted to a completely vegan model as I did note their few meat option from earlier menus were no longer present. I ordered the least chemically induced item in the form of the Pita with Hummus and fresh veggies. This was incredibly fresh and still very filling. Hummus all day, ev'ry day! The shop is charming and filled with antique furniture and knick knacks. Food took AWHILE to get to us and we were in a hurry. Definitely not my first choice and despite the wait, they came in pretty clutch for being one of the few businesses open for a much needed lunch break.

I felt like I walked into a cafe in Austin, TX in the mid nineties. It's super artsy, kitschy, and has a very cool vibe. Lots of space to chill out, do some reading or writing, have a drink or some vegan grub. I had a chai, and my son had an Italian soda, both were a hit. The service was great. They are very kind and attentive. I realize this is not for everyone, but I gave it five stars for being a unique gem with a positive, creative vibe.

Beetroot soup with a hint of dill
Dave G.

I've lived in the Snoqualmie Valley some 22 years and somehow never managed to eat at the Black Dog. Usually due to the crowds at various live music events. But today, managed to grab lunch and now I am wondering why it took so long. Missus had the beetroot soup - a rich creamy soup with magnificent texture and hint of dill. The creaminess was due entirely to the well puréed beets, as it had just a hint of actual cream. The included bread was toasted perfectly and thick. Really a great soup! My BLTA had vegan bacon but guess what - it worked! Paired with fresh avocados and on toasted fresh bread, it was fresh and hearty. Drinks were two well executed lattes. Service was prompt, friendly and not at all slow. It won't be long before we return.

Caesar Salad
Kendra O.

My friend and I stopped in here for a lunch after looking at the falls and we were not disappointed. We were so happy to find a vegan-friendly restaurant in Snoqualmie. We decided to split a soup, salad, and sandwich. The caesar salad was just what we wanted- it was fresh, cold, crunchy, and tasty. The BLT was also super yummy. The sandwich was served with chips and fruit. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The decor inside is so charming as well. Next time I make a trip out to Snoqualmie I will definitely be back here!

Might be a silly question: But do they allow dogs?

They had an outdoor seating area where someone had a dog while we were there. Don't know about inside.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida baby ! I've scene some amazing artists @ Snoqualmie Casino over the years…read more However one of the highlights was seeing RINGO STAR & Friends. Seeing one of The Beatles on a small stage was just overwhelming. I only wish I was able to have met him... However seeing others from Joan Jett, Little Steve & Disciple's of Soul , STYX & heavy metal artist GREAT WHITE if you can believe that one. No pyro was allowed BTW! It's a seated venue most of the time so show up late. Plus you can get cocktails prior to entering the doors so kick back with a refreshing beverage and listen to the music..

One would think this would be named "Snoqualmie Casino Ballroom", i suggested to Yelp, but no…read moreaction. I've been here 3 times for various concerts. Ticketing process is not via a modern purveyor (Snoqualmie Casino tickets) so you actually have to print paper tickets and bring them. But I did very much appreciate not getting hosed for a ridiculous, greedy ticket fee (if paper tickets=no fee then I'm all for it) Impossible to find out whether cameras are allowed beforehand. I do see some concerts in the past were explicit - "no cameras". This last show, George Thorogood, had no info anywhere on the web, i had to approach security, ask my question, clearly the person didnt really know, but "guessed" no. It would be nice if they would allow it, as I can take pictures with my camera FAR LESS OBTRUSIVELY than the dozens of people in front of me holding up their iPhones the entire time. Security was pretty cool, no hassles. They allow you to bring in your house drink (my wonderful paper water cup), i think they swap you out with a plastic cup if you bring in glassware. There was a bar setup at the end of the foyer there. Seating is fairly easy to find, lots of ushers around who were eager to help you find your seat. Seating here is a drawback; padded folding chairs fastened together, no elbow rests or dividers. While comfortably padded, spacing is very tight given the average american adult. I am 6' 190, and I barely avoid 'spilling over'. I imagine if you're larger, you'll be rubbing elbows. Aisle spacing is very tight as well, so people trying to 'get out' or 'come in' its a tight squeeze even with everyone standing up to allow it. The flat-seating here means if tall people are seated in front of you, you will be blocked (this is exacerbated by the tight aisle spacing). Also, once people in front of you stand, you must stand as well to continue viewing. Sound was terrific, for George it was loud and thunderous. I think its a house system(?). All-in-all, its an 'ok' place for rock shows, by definition thats 3 stars. But i'm kinda waffling, aside from the major drawback of seating and, for me, a personal resentment about the lack of info about yes/no on cameras, I'll go "4 stars".
