A shame, because the rest of the dish was beautifully prepared and deserved to have a delicious topping. Friends report that the Green Cat Sandwich is a tasty choice. It includes pesto, avocado, tomato, provolone and sunflower seeds on light rye, baked open-faced and served with fresh fruit. The Green Cat Cafe is on the ground floor of a homey old Seattle apartment building on Olive Way, between Interstate 5 and Broadway Avenue. There are a few seats on the lower level, many in the main dining room, and a few outdoor patio seats during nice weather.
Loud music plays to a mostly twenty or thirtysomething crowd.
The lunch menu comprises a variety of salads, sandwiches, soups and pasta and rice dishes. Many choices are vegan, and the menu informs which non-vegan choices can be made vegan. Smoking used to be allowed in the restaurant, but that practice has stopped. Breakfast starts at 7 most days and features mostly ovo-lacto vegetarian choices with a few vegan options. The Morning Bowl is maple almond granola with fresh fruit, vanilla yogurt and milk.
