A Cozy, Welcoming Gem with Incredible Food! ​Stopped by Black Dog Arts Cafe for lunch while visiting Snoqualmie Falls--a place I hadn't been to in quite a while! ​They cater wonderfully to dietary preferences, clearly labeling Vegan (V), Gluten-Free (GF), and Soy-Free (SF) options right on the menu, which makes ordering so easy. ​We ordered a Golden Latte and a regular Latte, along with two items from their daily specials board: the Beet Salad Wrap and the Chabuca Granda Whole Sandwich. The Beet Salad Wrap was absolute perfection--incredibly flavorful, fresh, and generous in size! We shared it between the two of us and were completely satisfied. ​The atmosphere is charm personified, filled with vintage, antique-style tables and chairs that give it a warm, cozy, and nostalgic feel. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. ​Inside, they also sell cool merchandise and have a hand-drawn chalkboard on the wall listing upcoming events, which is great to check out. ​Whether you're visiting with family, solo, or on a date, this is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Highly recommended if you're in the Snoqualmie area! read more

Cute, intimate place! I've been here a few times, once to watch a friend sing his music on stage, and another today for a birthday/art wall! I believe all of the food is vegan, with many gluten free options as well. They have lots of sweet treats, canned beverages like local ciders and beers, and wine. I haven't had much of their food but I really enjoy the hummus plate! read more

We enjoyed an amazing late lunch at the Black Dog Arts Cafe in Snoqualmie, WA. They're pretty well known for their amazing food (completely vegetarian, mostly vegan options) and cozy, artsy retro type atmosphere. We haven't had the occasion to visit in maybe a year or two so .. we were definitely overdue! We appreciated the friendly, charming nature of our server and the wide assortment of options to choose from! I'm going to start with the cookies because ...O...M...Goodness, we bought one Ube cookie and one Cardamom. We haven't tasted the Ube yet (we're pacing ourselves lol) but the Cardamom was delicious and soooo soft, even though we didn't try it until a couple of hours later! My wife ordered the Deli Wrap, house deli slices, vegan cheeze, and beautiful micro greens while I ordered two items, a Mock Tuna sandwich made of chickpea salad and vegan mayo as well as their Mushroom Oat Groat soup. I only had a bite of Sandi's wrap but it was delicious and she seemed to love it. The soup I ordered had a really rich delicious mushroom depth about it, very tasty with lots of good veggie bits in there. The Mock Tuna was hearty, filling, very tasty .. and I appreciated that it came with chips and a piece of pineapple and apple. We had visited Mexico a couple of years ago. The vegan options we had while there, they were WAY more fresh and vibrant than what you typically regularly find here in the U.S.. Instead of using stock items like Impossible or Beyond (which I have nothing against, I love both products), the burgers are usually made from scratch using, beans, beets, whatever fresh ingredients you can imagine! The freshness of the ingredients really hits the palette in a big way! So, that was totally my experience at Black Dog today. Our lunch was fresh and vibrant and I left feeling full but not bloated or overwhelmed. On an aside, I appreciate the option to order half a sandwich, that's very helpful to keep gluttony at bay They regularly have all kinds of events there so I recommend checking out their page and plan visit for a fun event, amazing food, and delightful service. read more

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. read more

Great food and ambience but service is dead slow. Be prepared to wait for 1 hour for a sandwich and soup!! And no apology or nothing. I saw this happen to a bunch of people around me. So seems like this happens a lot!!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Black Dog - Sorry, I ate it before a pic but the to go package says it all. - Cafes Near Me - Snoqualmie, Washington

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. read more

Honestly, my fiance was super reluctant to go in because he generally has lukewarm vegan/vegetarian experiences. I was excited about the place after a gift shop a couple doors down recommended it and figured it was worth a try regardless. There was one person basically in charge of all front-of-house service so we were lucky there were only a few other people in the restaurant. the space is 1/4 shop, 1/4 entertainment (not on a Friday at 11am though haha), and 1/2 restaurant. It's a really cute setup that feels very community-driven. The food was beyond great. As natural skeptics we figured it was worth trying something new regardless of how we liked it - I got a breakfast sandwich and my fiance got a pulled pork sandwich. We inhaled them both in 5 minutes flat - he said that if all food tasted like that he would consume it forever. It's safe to say they really impressed us both and gave us an introduction to how delicious vegan/vegetarian food could be! Coming from NYC where we have a seemingly infinite amount of food choices, we surprisingly have been let down time and time again by alternative eating restaurants. This place was a gamechanger for us! Would I come back? Absolutely. read more

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. read more

Great local community feel. Fantastic vegan options with good portions. Staff are super friendly.

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. read more

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! read more

Went here while my husband was in town for a race and wooooow I wish i lived closer. I came in for some coffee and an assortment of dairy free/vegan treats and not one thing was a disappointment. All delicious. The treats were a good amount of sweet but not overly so. A good balance between sweet and flavor. And the coffee was robust. I got an americano to pair with the treats and was so happy. The coffee didn't need any extra sugar already but the dry coffee with the sweet treats was the perfect balance. To add to it the shop is also filled with local stuff to buy and some very interesting ciders. A lot of flavors I hadn't seen before and if I'm back in the area will definitely pick up. 10/10. Get the cinnamon roll if you can. It's the best! (I got 2 ) read more

After a visit to North Bend, and Snoqualmie Falls, we found ourselves dining outside at The Black Dog Cafe. It's on Railroad Ave just across from the enormous 100 year old trees and a vintage train. This place is a local treasure-- if I lived in Snoqualmie, I'd frequent it regularly. In normal times (pre & post covid) it hosts local musicians in a living room type back room. Lots of cool things to buy upfront. I had The Bing Crosby-- a yummy sandwich of turkey, havarti, avocado and tomato on homemade bread. Served with Tim's Cascades and fruit. My wonderful companion said her quiche was, "Mighty tasty." We chose it randomly, but it was just the vibe we needed. read more

De-lic-ious!! AND really great live music! We are local and frequent this restaurant. They are amazing, including the opportunities they give musicians to flourish. read more

We came here just in time for someone playing live jazz music on the piano! The staff approached my party very promptly to have us seated and our orders taken. The cafe itself gives you an eclectic vibe, with tables of different shapes and sizes, all facing the stage where the performer was. One memorable event was the staff offering a drink to the musician, giving a sense of warmth and community. I ordered a hot chocolate but it arrived to our table a little bit cold but still delicious. The Black Dog is a perfect place to relax. Whether you want to just read a book, have fun with friends, listen to live music, or watch the train load and unload passengers right across the street, you'll be able to enjoy yourself here. I'd love to come back here again, hopefully to catch another musician/performer while I enjoy my hot chocolate! read more

Really cute little spot with delicious food and drinks and incredibly kind staff. They regularly have live music and always have a great ambiance. I can't visit Snoqualmie without stopping by. read more

I had the Bang Bang and it was delicious!!! The blend of the cheese, mayonnaise (vegan?), vegetables, and deli was perfect! The chips that was included was also a perfect blend. The other thing about this was the bathroom. They are gender neutral and very clean. I love the country feel of the entire environment. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The other thing I loved about this place was that the meals were healthy! I'm always looking for healthier options in the menu and everything check that box. Not a heavy meal for me but it hit the spot! Definitely recommend this place to stop by. read more

We were so excited to find this place in historic Snoqualmie. We were there for the vegan grub, but the people and vibe were equally outstanding!

Vegan + Vegetarian food made with love with options for your omnivore counterparts. We stopped by for lunch after a long hike and had a delightful experience. Quirky, coffee shop vibes abound. We had the daily special, a chick-un bac-un ranch sandwich and a BLT. The presentation and flavors were wonderful. Friendly service. Highly recommend. They'll provide a dish for your puppers to have water. read more

This place is a gem. Great vegan food, treats, and coffee (lots of alternative milks)! Devoured the tofu Rueben and the mock tuna sandwiches. Even the chips and fruit sides are good. Soy Mocha was tasty. Vegan s'more and spice cookie were delicious. Cool vibe inside. Some Twin Peaks nods. The girl that waited on us was a dream! She sings while she works and it's busy with her being the only one at the counter. Highly recommend. read more

I was really happy to see that The Black Dog has added so many more vegan menu items since the last time I was in town a few years ago. It's hard to find a restaurant in Snoqualmie (or neighboring North Bend) with more than one or two options, so this was a real treat. I had the special (chick-un salad wrap) and a cupcake. Both were great! My friend got the Turkey Reuben (obviously not vegan) and loved it, as well. I look forward to coming back! Hopefully they expand their hours again. read more

Our experience here was first-rate. 1. The atmosphere was artsy and unique 2. The employees were friendly and working hard to service everyone 3. The food was amazing We had a lot of food! We got the quiche, both the house and caesar salads, the chabuca granda sandwich and the cilantro pesto veggie. The bread was sooo good! We also got a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream. The flavors were amazing. I couldn't believe how they were pumping this food out of the kitchen. Not sure how big it is back there, but we were impressed with all of the house made items. If I didn't live all the way across the country, I would be back here a lot. read more

While traveling to Snoqualmie Falls we figured we would check this place out. They have a few vegan/vegetarian options for different meals. We decided to go with The Frida Kahlo minus the sour cream and added vegan chorizo. The amount of food for price was good. The presentation was good. It was just lacking a little bit oomph to make it great. Avocado slices or vegan sour cream would have put it over the top. But not bad overall. We decided to top things off with dessert. They had a vegan brownie with walnuts as well as a vegan cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was excellent. The brownie was a typical tasting vegan brownie. I haven't found any that made me go wow yet. The iced tea was really good and seemed freshly brewed. The staff were very friendly and the price points reasonable. read more

As a vegan I was thrilled to stumble upon this place. I had a tofu Reuben which was delicious and no hassle or charge to swap for gluten free bread. The server was very busy but super efficient. The food was a little slow coming out of the kitchen but it was worth it. The bonus: I was able to also purchase a chocolate chip cookie to take with me. It was very good. I will definitely go back. read more

Vegan BLT was ace. Service was attentive and loved the homey vibes inside. Might not be back for a while since I stopped by while I was in town on business, but definitely worth a visit! read more

On Wednesday open mic where you can play, sing or dance! fun nights. Check calendar because they have specials and good bands ! read more

We found this restaurant while wandering around Snoqualmie, it was a little hole in the wall cafe that we loved the quirks of it. It's very cozy and when we went in, they had just open so we were the only ones there for brunch. The decor is cute and you can tell that lots happen here at night with live performances and such. Unfortunately, we were there during the day but that's ok. I got the Edgar Allen Poe boy sandwich (sounds really cute to someone who loves poems, like me), which consisted of ham, house-roasted turkey, and thick-cut fisher's bacon with tomatoes and lettuce on their toasted homemade bread. I only got the half because I wasn't that hungry, but the half was rather filling since it came with chips and fruits on the side as well. My kids got the grilled cheese and split it, they loved the little watermelon slices on the side, more so than the chips, so that's saying a lot. My husband got the turkey BLT and a cup of soup of the day that was written on the wall. Both were delicious from the bite I got. I'm a huge fan of homemade baked bread, so that's what got me. We got refills after refills of Seattle coffee. I don't drink coffee but when in Rome, right? It was really smooth so I had to keep drinking. I feel like this place is artsy and very laid back, I love the vibe of it and any mom and pop shop, I'll support, because they're so much more unique than the chains anyway, but that's just me. read more

The family and I had the pleasure of eating here after a day of hiking at Snoqualmie! We try to eat plant-based as much as possible, so we were happy to find such a vegan-friendly restaurant nearby! Super yummy food and a fun atmosphere featuring the art and wares of many local artists! I had a veggie gyro, oldest child went with the vegan quiche, husband had the vegan breakfast burrito, and youngest child went with his standard fave, PB&J. All were delicious and we even got some vegan baked goodies to go! They also have a stage where they feature live music! Highly recommend if you're in the Snoqualmie area! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. It's wonderful to have a veggie/vegan friendly restaurant so far from Seattle. The best part is that they also serve the usual dairy/meat options so my husband and other meat eating friends are happy to tag along. Also their homemade cupcakes are sooooo good. PS highly recommend the tofu Rueben sandwich. Awesome! read more

Went there for the first time and love the small town vibe. Staff was friendly and the open mic night is great.

Food was fantastic!!!! I ordered a Vegan BLT, and I am not a Vegan, but it was one of the best BLT's I have had. The Caesar salads are fantastic. Love the Wednesday Open Mike night. This is a really cool place to be at. read more

I ate here a few years ago and was very pleased and now they offer many more delicious vegan and vegetarian options as well as some items with turkey for any meat eaters. Very friendly service. I ate here a few times while I was in town and enjoyed the food each time. Very cute little place and I look forward to eating there again the next time I'm in the area. If you are vegetarian and not vegan, I really recommend the chipotle breakfast sandwich! read more
