Laughing Seed Cafe

For the oldest vegan restaurant in Asheville, I can see why it has good Google and Yelp reviews across the board. The food is exceptionally delicious and well-seasoned, and they offer a wide variety of choices. They even have different cuisines too and it isn't just catered to one specific cuisine such as American. The ladies restroom was clean and had plenty of toilet paper. It was easy to find as well. The waitress we received was very nice, sweet, personable, and funny. She is a local of Asheville and has been there her whole life which is cool. She gave good recommendations and was attentive to checking on us. She did not rush my friend and me when we took too long to decide from all of the options. The ambiance was nice and we got the opportunity to sit near the brick wall alone as the previous party was quite loud. From the orange cream flavored mocktail to southwesten fries, to the vegan reuben. Everything was delicious and well thought out with flavor combinations. The cherry on the top was that apricot tahini raw cheesecake, now that was divine. It was rich, creamy, and sweet. The price was everything was reasonable considering the location. I've never been to a specific vegetarian restaurant, but this one is one of the best veg restaurants out there. I wish Texas had something this good!! Next time, I'm in Asheville, I'll be stopping here.

We visited the afternoon of September 30th. It has been a while since I had been here. The food and service were even better than before. I love this place! The food is always so good! I highly recommend the Mediterranean salad and cauliflower tacos. I wish I could remember our server's name because he was fabulous! I want to thank him for such great service!

We love this restaurant, and visit it every time we go to Asheville. This was our third visit. We were too early for dinner so had drinks and appetizers only. Drinks were colorful (see photo) but not as excellent as those we had last time. At $14 per drink (plus tax, plus 20% or more tip), this predinner stop costed $55 for two of us. So just keeping the value in mind, I chose 4 stars instead of 5 (that I gave last time). Service was great, and we will go there again.

Amazing food and phenomenal service! I loved the healthy variety of choices on the menu, including vegan, gluten free & nut free. There were so many delicious options, it was difficult to choose! Our server was amazing and very helpful in recommending items from the menu. I highly recommend the lotus grain bowl! The grilled cheese and the seed burger from the kids menu were also very yummy! It was a Laid back atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating.
