Dining Out (Vegetarian-style) in the Palouse, part one

Eating out is one of my family's favorite activities. We don't eat out all of the time, but I enjoy having a break off from cooking occassionally. Soren and Joe also get to a chance to eat a dish that I wouldn't normally cook. Finding good beer on tap is also bonus, if we are that lucky.
As I'm leaving the Moscow, ID/Pullman, WA area and trekking to the other side of the country, I'd like to leave a few comments about places to eat here. Eventually, I'd like to have entries about different places to eat at around the country.
If you are looking for a casual lunch with no alcohol, the Moscow Food Co-op fares well for vegetarians and sometimes vegans. The menu rotates and the food is never awful. Sometimes I get a little bored by the choices, however. Tons of espresso, smoothie and tea options that are usually quite good.
Mikey's Gyros is my favorite cheap place to eat that has a good variety of vegetarian options in this area. Sometimes a good beer resides on tap. Vegans wouldn't find it impossible to eat at. Closes earlier in the evening (around 8, I think) but has great atmosphere and fast service (usually). A good place to hang out with friends. The Greek Sampler is my favorite. They have a great small salad.
More later......
