Great service and food - Edit
Fantastic selection of vegan items, nice ambience and great service. The Reuben was delicious - definitely our favorite. Also we so appreciated that they used reusable dishes (like restaurants used to before the insane waste we see now.). Even metal ramekins. Thank you for being good stewards of our only planet.

Great Lunch - Edit
I have to agree with the crowd. We had. A delightful lunch here. I enjoyed the Ruben sandwich with the cheese substitute. The “meat” was made with sweet potato, perfectly cooked with a little crunch! I added the side salad and house dressing, yummm

So yummy! Had a hard time choosing - Edit
This cafe was so good we got it twice during our stay! We tried a lot of the dishes between our visits and honestly you can go wrong with anything on the menu! My favorite was the tostada ensalada. We had the southwest fries, crispy brussels, lotus grain bowl, rueben (veganized), Buffalo cauliflower tacos, and risotto. We also had the cake and cheesecake for dessert. It was all so good! You must visit if you are in the area!

Delicious - Edit
My husband and I visited Asheville recently and both picked this as our favorite vegan food in the area. I got the Bistro Burger and he got the Banh Mi. Both were flavorful, perfect portion sizes for the price, and well made. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the atmosphere as well. A must visit in the area!

An amazing dining experience - Edit
My sister and I stopped here on our one night driving through Asheville. So happy we caught Laughing Seed before they closed! This was such a great experience all around - there was a street performer playing chill music across the sidewalk, our server was AMAZING (Travis? We feel bad we don’t remember his name), the patio was cozy and cute, and - of course - the food was great! We had the crispy brussels and jalapeño fries to start at our server’s recommendation, then I had the taco salad-ish bowl and my sister had the risotto. We also had great local (brewery was only two streets over!). Even being vegan with a cashew allergy, there was a ton for me to eat (all their vegan cheeze is cashew based, but our server was an expert on ingredients and swaps). Highly recommend.

Flavorful and fast - Edit
Stopped here on a road trip and was impressed with how quickly everything came out while still being delicious and beautiful. Service was great. No complaints! Glad we found this little place to stop on our way. Recommend the nearby parking garage. The elevator brings you out right at their front door.

On another level - Edit
The sweet potato is thinly shaved and marinated before cooking to create the most amazing vegan Rueben we’ve ever had. The oyster mushroom polenta cake was excellent. Fresh corn tacos delivered the fried cauliflower with Buffalo sauce perfectly to my mouth. Yummmmm

The food is good but I don't find it to be worth the price. I've been plenty of times though so I guess it works. lol

Stopped here for a late lunch since it was highly recommended. Husband has an onion allergy and after our servers multiple trips to the kitchen, found out he could not eat one thing on the menu except french fries.:(

The staff was exceptionally friendly. I had my pup with me and we sat on the patio which had some heaters (it was a little chilly) which made it very comfortable. They even brought my pup a water bowl! I will be going back next time I’m in Asheville

We've been on the road for a few weeks, and i was craving a simple, fresh salad that did not come from a bag. I hit the jackpot here. One one of the freshest, tastiest salads ever.

Part of the Asheville vegan experience - Edit
We were thrilled to eat here. It was better than we had hoped for: innovative vegan cuisine, so many vegan choices, inviting options for our non-vegan dining companion. It was a different, unique dining experience.
Read moreThe sweet potato Reuben was delicious, not greasy, not too salty. The jackfruit bbq entree had a delightful spicy kick to it. The pistachio cheesecake was light, delicate and the chai cake was so wonderful.
Excellent service with great outdoor seating.
