About Laughing Seed Cafe

Laughing Seed Cafe in downtown Asheville offers a variety of delicious vegan and vegetarian options. Guests can enjoy flavorful and creative dishes like tofu and savory waffles, French onion soup, and a tasty curry. The vegan cheesecake is a popular dessert, and the staff provides cheerful service. The cozy atmosphere, live music, and healthy meals make it a good choice for those looking for a homey meal experience. The menu tends to play it safe, with vegan food that goes beyond limited Asian or Indian themes. The salads are large, but some may find that the dishes lack a certain "wow, clean, yum" feeling expected from a good vegan meal. Despite that, it remains a great place to bring non-vegans and meat-eaters, as the plates are full, even if the food doesn't always blow diners away. The restaurant is very clean and inviting, with decor that reminds some of European restaurants and natural skylights providing nice lighting. The food is fresh and tasty, with some dishes like the Reuben made from sweet potatoes and served with good slaw and vegan cheese. Their French fries are a highlight—medium thick, crispy, well-seasoned, and topped with crispy onion pieces and jalapenos. The drinks, especially the blueberry ginger mocktail, are excellent, and the customer service is stellar. Overall, Laughing Seed Cafe offers a variety of flavorful vegan and vegetarian options in a cozy and inviting setting.
