Lovely stuff! - Edit
Bangin breakfast, filling too. Sausages were on par with Richmond's, had that generic sausage taste I remember from school, mad.. nice!! The bacon and scrambled tofu were spot on too! Not just any ole lindas & beans slapped on a plate.. far from. Classy vegan cafe with thought and effort gone into the food.

Very good - Edit
I had the english breakfast and salted caramel hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was amazing. The English breakfast was pretty good too, the „egg“ was just a bit salty. The staff was very friendly.
Read moreOnly thing i’d have to criticize is the diversity of the dishes on the menu. Most breakfast meals were with mock meat, there weren’t that many options with fresh veggies or fruits.

Great for lunch and a catch up - Edit
I have been to Seeds for the Soul a few times now for both brunch and dinner. The menu is varied and offers a good selection of food, cake, hot drinks and smoothies. I would definitely recommend the vegan thunder and the berry smoothie! The salted caramel chocolate brownie is also very good!
Read moreUnfortunately the time before last, the service was poor and a waitress who had very poor English brought us the wrong orders and asked if it was ok?? Fortunately this seemed to be a one off as the next time I returned the service was fab!
All appropriate measures are in place regarding covid with screening and hand gel dispensers placed appropriately.
Would recommend booking a table if possible as it can be busy.
Looking forward to returning and trying more items on the menu.
Pros: Lovely decor and nice atmosphere , Great selection of food and drink , Never in a hurry to rush you out the door

Vegan heaven - Edit
I found everything is listed as vegan here and I felt like a kid in a candy shop. The cakes looked devine, I never had any but it all looekd delicious and were selling out so quickly. I ordered the middle eastern wrap which was such a large portion! It is a tad on the pricier side but I would say that is because it easily would feed two people or one person as a very large meal, I couldn't eat the whole wrap and had some later for dinner, vegan has never been so tasty and do not feel like I am missing out! Also had a matcha oat latte which was very good. Place was busy as just opened again, recommend if you are after a meal that doesn't compromise!
Read morePros: Entirely vegan, Cakes!
Cons: tad expensive but double the portion for the price

Fantastic welcoming place! - Edit
We have been there twice now and both times were great. The service was great, sometimes a little slow because they are so popular but the wait is worth it! Food is amazing and drinks are imaginative and great! Highly recommend a visit. Its so nice to know you can eat pretty much everything on the menu (depending in other dietary requirements such as Gluten issues which they do cater for)
Read morePros: All vegan options that are very tasty
Cons: Items are pricy but worth it

Good food but not loads of variety. - Edit
We all had beyond burgers, which were nice. Good toppings on them, especially the Mexican one. Would love to see more full meals on the menu, it was mostly lunch style things.
Read moreTheir homemade garlic mayo was absolutely incredible.

It is not just about seeds - Edit
Lovely and quite big restaurant close to Meadows. There is plenty of room where to sit down, but I recommend to make a reservation because it was full all the time ( we came about 1pm). They’ve big menu with breakfasts, brunches, lunches, daily soups, but also smoothies, boozy smoothies, teas, coffees, etc. You can also choose from fresh cakes which are different every day. I ordered cheeseburger with chips. I didn’t wait long and I got my meal even though the restaurant was full. Burgers are with beyond meat so who likes it, will be happy and will enjoy it. Chips looked like hand made as they promised and were really good. I ordered them with their mayo which was good with little bit of garlic taste.
Read moreService was really nice and quick. And again I have to mention that there was full! I visited almost every vegan restaurant or coffee in Edi and this one is one of the best. I can only recommend.
Pros: Big portions, Dezerts, Space

Fantastic, comfy place with great food, cakes and coffee - Edit
Great savoury options! I tried the vegan breakfast, the salad, chips and the burger.
Read moreThey make fantastic cakes. I absolutely love the rocher cake and the brownies! The choice of cakes changes but they often post their daily cakes on Instagram.
The staff is also super friendly and the atmosphere casual and cosy. There are plenty of tables, but if you come with several people during popular times of the day I would book to be sure to get a table.
It's very reasonably priced as well.
Pros: Completely vegan; great savoury dishes;, Great cakes and coffee, Very friendly service
Cons: None

I'd like to try more from the menu! - Edit
Cosy space, serving a variety of starters, soup-of-the-day, mains, desserts and hot drinks. Breakfast menu till 3 pm. Wine, beer, cider, some organic, some GF. Smoothies, choice of plant milks. Special Christmas items in December. I enjoyed a Peruvian Dark Ginger hot chocolate made with oat milk. And two starters: buffalo cauliflower with hot sauce and garlic mayo dip, and Asian Dumplings served with tamarind dip. Both were good, even the leftovers, warmed up next day.
Read morePros: all vegan, lots of hot and cold drink options

Outstanding - Edit
Here for the weekend for the No. 1 Ladies Accordion Orchestra weekend with my partner. As I’m male ive been exploring the city and used HappyCow tonfind somewhere vegan for lunch near my hotel. I’m not actually vegan but I avoid dairy for health reasons and try to eat more natural foods. Visited here for lunch and tried the Middle Eadtern Bowl. Not only was it beautifully presented, it was delicious and substantial in size. The houmus was the tastiest I’ve ever had The chick peas were coated in something that made them extra tasty. In fact the whole dish was outstanding. It was all topped off with excellent oat milk organic cappuccino and all in a restaurant with a lovely ambience. Thoroughly recommendable.
Read morePros: Very very tasty. , Lovely ambience and friendly staff, Good sized portions.

Sowing the seeds of love - Edit
Very welcoming vegan cafe with great food and chilled vibe. We ordered the hot dog and rainbow seitan wrap. Both dishes were delicious especially the seitan wrap, which was seasoned well and had a great texture. The star of the show though was still to come and came in the form of a divine slice of lemon cheesecake. Marvelous meal. Always pleasing to see a cafe proud to serve vegan too. Will definitely visit again.
