Sunlight Cafe

20 min to order food (they were not packed). Another 30 min for food to come out. Food wasn’t anything special. Staff was friendly but not rapido

"Not Technically Vegetarian"One Goddamn Star. So I take this super fly hunny out on a dope date. We check out the baller-ass fish shop around the corner to scope out some siiiiiiiick aquarium bullshits and then hop over for some promised veggie goodness to fill our bellies before hitting the comedy club down the street. Damn this menu looked good. I was so into ordering some veggie grub. My shawty though, she is strict veg and I respect that so I confidently ask the waiter if their cheese is rennet free. That mothafucka tells me "weeeeeeelllll" with that high pitched bitch voice "it's not TECHNICALLY vegetarian". Hold the fuuuuuck up homeboy, your signage says vegetarian in lights!Well fuck it, we opt for the felafel, at least no one can fuck up falafel.  Or so I thought. What came to us was some sort of deconstructed fallafel bullshit. A plate with two slices of whole wheat pita (who eats that nasty shit?) a handful of lettuce and tomato, and two soggy ass falafel mix pancakes. That's right. Goddamn pancakes. These lazy fucks couldn't even roll a falafel ball and fry the fucker. They half ass grilled a falafel mix pancake and slipped it on the plate for us to build our own. Get the fuck outta here. One goddamn star and you earned that only because your pumpkin cheesecake was pretty good.

#AmazingCafe #TheSunlightCafe 🥰

4 of us (2 couples) has a wonderful Brunch today. Sunlight is an institution. . Easily one of Seattle ' s best neighborhood restaurants. I had 'Euripides'.. 3 eggs scrambled w red peppers & roasted garlic, served on a bed of organic spinach and topped w feta cheese. Let's not forget the heavenly home fries and 6-grain organic muffin

3.5 starsplace is huge hit or miss.  definate hits are anything they make with tempeh as well as their house dressing salad.  misses are the soups i have had there as well as the nachos my daughter ordered.  the boy loves the portabello burger.

3,4,3,4,3,4........kind of hard to decide. M-kay, I will go with 3Lets get is said....service at Sunlight Cafe sucks. Look, I get the old school hippie vibe, were all just hangin' out, no need to rush....naw, sorry, the service just sucks. But I'm actually ok with that, I just don't go to Sunlight if I'm in a rush. If your not in a rush, and you want to hang out and eat some tasty veg, then its all good. Sunlight cafe is not serving cuisine. Its old school macrobiotic veggie food. Melted cheese and sprouts. But l like it. Some of the dishes are really tasty. Love their orzo with mushrooms. I like the fact that they have local artists work on the walls, I like the fact that the place has a 'greasy spoon' feel, I like how friendly the workers are. The service is not good, HOWEVER when I was sitting there this evening, I noticed that the staff knew many of the people coming in, and actually took time to talk to them and ask them how things were going. I get it. I like this place. Want to chill with some good coffee on a lazy day, and talk for a while and eat some veg comfort food? Sunlight Cafe will do just fine.

3.5 stars.  I had the Huevos Rancheros and liked it.  The home fries (i.e. potatoes) were a little mushy, but maybe in an ironic twist home "fries" are not supposed to be fried at all? Not sure.  The espresso was fine, and the prices are very reasonable. Our server was nice and paid just enough attention to us.  We were in a hurry and he got us out quickly.  It's not what I would call gourmet service, but for a cafe in Seattle it was good.  Looking around the room, most of the staff looked bored, indifferent, or irritated, so I was happy to have a server who was competent and wasn't taking himself too seriously.  Reading the other reviews, it sounds like we got lucky.The vibe at Sunlight is very hippie-dippy.  Lots of light from many windows is nice.  Parking can be tough.
