Chaco Canyon Cafe

SEATTLE'S ORGANIC VEGETARIAN CAFE

  • Sandwiches, Salads and Soups
  • Seattle's Only Raw Foods Menu
  • Organic Juice and Wheatgrass

The Chaco Canyon Organic Café is a vibrant, ecologically sound slice of heaven carved into Seattle's University District. They are approximately 90 percent organic year-round -- one of the few cafés in the nation that can make that claim.

Set in a warm Southwestern décor, they provide delicious homemade food for a wide variety of needs tastes:

Vegan and Raw food: the only café in the Seattle area that features a daily raw foods menu, which changes often and with the seasons. The other half of the menu is 100% vegan with housemade soups, salads and sandwiches.

Fresh Juice and Wheatgrass: Always 100% organic and never pasteurized, their juices are prepared only when ordered.

Espresso and Coffee done right: Their coffee is Fair Trade, organic, shade grown, AND bought directly from the Costa Rican farmer himself! The Organic espresso is delivered weekly by Lighthouse Roasters

Editorial Description for Chaco Canyon Cafe

The menu changes, so try something new--perhaps a raw pizza, vegan artichoke melt or bluegreen blast smoothie?

Their new space is open, airy, light-filled; a lovely cafe setting. Something about this place reminds me a little of the Elliot Bay Bookstore. You will find unique and creative cuisine here, catered especially for raw diets and healthy gurus. It's a bit pricey, and the food I have had so far is just okay, but this really is the only restaurant of its kind in Seattle. A wide array of vegan, raw, even gluten-free deserts await you when you walk in; I recommend trying some. Staff is friendly too. Another reason to eat here is that the food and beverages are almost all organic! And, extra bonus points: They recycle and compost!!!

Pros: Creativity, Variety, Organic, Vegan, Fresh, Nice Staff and Pleasant Cafe Setting

Cons: expensive for the serving size

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

If you haven't heard, Chaco Canyon has moved from its tiny original location just a block to the west (corner of 50th and 12th, across from the YMCA), and WOW what a change! The old place was quaint, if not a bit musty and cramped. The new location is bright, airy and beautiful. As a longtime regular customer, I must say that the change in environment has brought a huge change to everything else. The menu is more extensive. The notorious wait time for food and the frequent outtages of menu items are a thing of the past. The friendly hippie staff from before has been transformed into a bright, cheerful and (as far as I can tell) almost entirely female one. Best of all, the food as always fresh, imaginative, affordable and delicious. I hate going into a cafe and seeing the same items you see everywhere else; Chaco Canyon truly strives towards originality and variety on its menu. If you've never been, go check them out!

Pros: Staff, food, ambiance

Cons: a little loud
