Seeds For The Soul in Edinburgh, City of

The most delicious vegan food we've ever eaten. The atmosphere is super cosy and the staff super friendly. Huge praise!

Had a fantastic breakfast here and served up in a quick time too. Savoury pancakes were delicious. Highly recommend!

Healthy and delicious food. Was very filling and staff was incredibly nice. Did not get a chance to try the desserts but they looked really good.

Best Mac and cheese ever. Burgers to die for. Excellent service and lovely setting, on a great part of the city. Best vegan restaurant we’ve tried so far.

This restaurant in Edinburgh was the best vegan experience I had in the UK! We ate bowls that were very well prepared, seasoned, colorful and delicious. We ordered desserts which were divine! The place is very beautiful and cozy, with good service. It's a great place for meals, snacks and breakfast and is open until 9 pm, which is good for tourists!

10/10. The food was amazing, the staff were lovely, and nice atmosphere inside. Best green smoothie I have ever had

Food would have been nice if it was hot when it arrived. Sadly it wasn't

This is my go to vegan spot when in Edinburgh. Delicious food, desserts, smoothies and coffee drinks. I get the falafel every time and it never disappoints! Also the Biscoff latte and the chai are favorites. The staff is friendly and wonderful, but service tends to be a bit slow – it’s worth it though.

It's a lovely cafe with amazing quality food and fast service. It's very cozy and nice.

The Best vegan hamburguer ever !!…Beautyful place 💚

Incredible vegan food! I'm a reluctant carnivore looking to reduce my meat intake and SFTS hits all the spots. The burger and loaded fries were incredible and left me full and happy! Add in friendly staff, quick service and decent prices and it's a winner! Worth mentioning BYO is £1.80 for a bottle of beer so pop in to the off license on the way or try one of their tasty smoothies. 👍

Terrific food, easy to choose something from the menu. Lovely staff.

good food, very friendly staff and just the atmosphere is awesome, and also very queer friendly which made me very happy to see. 10/10 recommend :)

Wonderful place to have a good dinner

Great vegan place for non-vegans alike. I'm not vegan but enjoy good vegan food. The taste of my burger was really good, the patty with success imitated meat. Even the vegan cheese was tasteful, which I often loathe. The burger was soft, each ingredient with its own specific taste. I was very happy with my choice, would definitely consume again. One star lower for the atmosphere as the place is quite small and quite dark, even despite the lovely looking starry night lights under the ceiling.

Healthy and colorful food! 'Seeds For The Soul' is a cute little vegan restaurant. We ordered two bowls and a garlic bread. I left satisfied, but the price was a bit steep for what are basically chopped vegetables. GERMAN VERSION: Seeds For The Soul is a cute little vegan restaurant in the south of Edinburgh. We ordered two bowls and a garlic bread. The bowls looked very colorful and were very healthy. I was quite satisfied, but my companion would have liked more flavor in her bowl. We were also surprised at the steep price. Basically, we only ate chopped, raw vegetables and the restaurant is a bit out of the way.

Wir haben zwei Salad Bowls und ein Knoblauchbrot bestellt. Die Salad Bowls sahen sehr bunt aus und waren sehr gesund. Ich war recht zufrieden, aber meine Begleitung hätte sich bei ihrer Bowl mehr Geschmack gewünscht. Außerdem waren wir über den doch happigen Preis überrascht. Denn im Prinzip haben wir nur geschnibbeltes, rohes Gemüse gegessen und das Restaurant ist auch etwas weit ab vom Schuss.

Vegan place we wanted to try for a while and it didn’t disappoint. We got burgers (BBQ and Satay) and they were very tasty and very filling. The Sun Salutations smoothie was amazing 🤩

Always delicious! This is one of my favourite vegan restaurants. Everything we have had here has been wonderful, cakes, bowls, burgers! So good!

Delicious food, lovely place with friendly staff.

Really good selection and the food was lovely! The food/coffee could have been a wee bit warmer but everything tasted delicious!! Definitely be back!

Really lovely, great menu, only downside is the price of some things is a little higher than I'd like

The staff was very nice and the cake was delicious! All the cakes were vegan, which was great. Would recommend if you are in the area!

A really pretty cafe which acted as great refuge from a horrible rainy day. I ordered the biscoff hot chocolate which was absolutely delicious and surprisingly not too sweet with a lovely balance of the biscoff with a rich chocolate. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere :)

Delicious Vegan Benny, amazing desserts and a warm atmosphere 🌱

I came here for lunch with my mum a couple months back and it is fair to say I was impressed. The food was absolutely delicious and really hit the spot, as well as being priced very reasonably. I got the salad with tofu and tahini dressing, which was absolutely divine. My mum got the falafel salad which she enjoyed too. At times, our server felt a little stand-offish but our food was great and the vibe inside the cafe was so lovely and genuinely a lovely place to be. I will be back for sure.

Great experience.a must try in Edi for vegan food

When I visited my son in June ’24 we regularly went for a meal at Seeds For The Soul. Each dish was as delicious as the next. The way the food was presented was also a ‘feast for the eye’. The staff were also always very friendly and helpful and we really loved the warm atmosphere of the restaurant. Even though we were full after the meals (we loved the Soul Bowls) we regularly added two of the heavenly cakes to take home and enjoyed later. Other times we also went specifically earlier so that my son can enjoy the Full Vegan Breakfast which is actually available until 3pm. Very reasonable time to still serve breakfast. Now, 2 months later and back home in South Africa I wanted to surprise my son yesterday with some of their take-out meals for his birthday. Thomas was instantly available and helped me to get the order sorted from South Africa in no time. The order was also delivered 5 minutes faster than the designated time. So also kudos to their outsourced delivery service Deliveroo. Thomas even personally made sure that my son received it and enjoyed it. Top service and management. What a gem of a place! Looking forward to many more meals when I visit next.

Staff were not friendly, did not ask how our meal was or if we needed anything. It wasn’t busy, they just seemed over it. Food was okay, could’ve made it home. Couldn’t believe they charged 2.4£ for still water! Nice to see a fully vegan restaurant just wished I hadve tried a different one in my limited time in the city.

Yesterday we were at the restaurant in the evening and everything was out of the ordinary, the warm attitude and attention was great. It was really a corrective experience for her that makes me want to come back and tell my friends about the place for good. I really appreciate the opportunity you gave me to come again and experience it and the food was great as usual! Thank you very much and have a good day

I recommend with all confidence, the food has a special taste, we will come back even if we are not vegan, the taste impressed us.

Luscious little cafe in the area of Bruntsfield where everyone should buy a two bed and rent it out on airbnb

We came in with a large party (9), including two children and one latecomer, and the staff could not have been friendlier or more patient. Our orders arrived promptly and the food was delicious. This is our second visit to Seeds and I know we’ll be back!

This place is hugely overrated. Service was slow to dead stop at a quiet time. Staff were verging on rude. When I asked for a glass of water the waiter asked if I wanted anything else ang replied 'Good' when I said no. As a lifelong vegan I found the food uninspiring.The usual meat substitutes with very tough pancakes and salads that did not inspire. Needs some reinvigorating and a better attitude to customers. Give it a miss I would say.

Great vegan food, filling and healthy, many vegan cake options :) the staff was lovely too

The staff were very unfriendly, verging on rude. We asked for water and it was not delivered. When we politely asked again it was put onto the table and we were asked if we wanted anything else. When we responded no the waiter replied "Good. The pancakes were tough as old boots. We are lifelong vegans and have tried many restaurants. This one feels like it is going through the motions.Avoid.

Been loads of times as its one of the few fully vegan restaurants in Edinburgh. Also great food and service, never had a bad experience. Burgers are super tasty. Would recommend to anyone, not just vegans.

pretty amazing! I'm not a vegetarian or vegan myself, but the food was delicious. I've been here twice and would definitely recommend it to others. The server was really nice! The atmosphere is on point too. I would just say its quite busy sometimes!

Had a lovely bowl here, service was great too.

Tasty food, quick, friendly service. Number1 vegan place in Edinburgh 😁

We came here for breakfast but it left a lot to be desired. We ordered the savoury pancakes, which came with syrup, pancakes, sausages, bacon and eggs. The pancakes were okay, but dry and hard to swallow. Bacon was tasty, but the sausages had an odd texture and tofu eggs were very watery and bland. The highlight of the experience was the coco loco smoothie, which had a refreshing yet comforting taste. You deserve great food, whether you are vegan or not and you should not have to settle. In this place, I definitely settled which is why I would not recommend eating here. If you want to play it safe, enjoy some of their shakes.

Ordered for take away and waiting over 45 mins to be told that they missed the order so just started doing the order after I been waiting for that long. Asking to get refund as I cannot wait longer and they said they can’t process the refund due to their card machine problem. I got my cash refund at the end as I told them I can’t wait any longer for the food ! What a waste of time

Incredibly tasty vegan food and cakes. Never disappointed when we visit 😁

That was delicious. The prices are very correct. The atmosphere of the restaurant is trendy and artistic, it’s very nice. The welcome here makes the difference: very pleasant, caring, warm and caring service.

Super tasty food, beautifully presented plates.

Lovely cafe with attentive and sweet staff. Coco Loco smoothie is a must! I went for my birthday and the staff gave me a free carrot cake slice which was delicious!

Just awesome: lovely service, awesome food and nice prices. Dogs welcomed :-)

I went with a small group from the local yoga club to Seeds for the Soul. I am not Vegan but I’m happy with vegan food, having been to several vegan restaurants. This was definitely the best. My vegan friends are more experienced vegans and agreed, wouldn’t pass it up regardless of your dietary habits, and oh yes, the cakes are to die for. Thank you ☺️

Amazing vegan restaurant/cafe with a large and varied menu. The food is fantastic, so much to choose from. I would recommend booking a table in advance. Lovely cosy atmosphere and dog friendly too. Open during the day and serving food until 9 pm.

I was told gluten free and coeliac was catered for, made my allergy known and ordered a gluten free hummus and avacado toast and was assured it was gf, then a few bites into my meal I suspected it was regular bread, which it was. I’d have hoped that they wouldn’t have charged me for my side order and juice in recognition they served me good I’m allergic too, but they did. Other than that they are a great place and the food is tasty.

We were very sad that we discovered this cute cafe/restaurant so late! The food was a 12/10 and the hospitality made it even better❤️ It's super cozy, you feel comfortable and you can really just sit there and enjoy the time🥰 The prices are absolutely ok and we'll definitely come back to Edinburgh - so I can try the MacnCheese Burger🥹🫶🏼

Cute little café with a breakfast and lunch menu. Cappuccino and cake highly recommended! Breakfast was also a highlight. We would have liked to try the lunch menu too, but we didn't make it in time! The service was very warm and friendly! No long waiting times for food and the prices are moderate/reasonable too! A clear recommendation!!

Pure vegan restaurant in Edinburgh. Excellent food. Try the smokie flavoured chips. Excellent desserts.

"VERY DISAPPOINTED". Hit and Miss food. Had Pancakes with Tofu scrambled eggs, Soya Latte to drink. The pancakes were cold and tasted like cardboard. However, the eggs were very tasty and so was the Latte. The staff were friendly and helpful and replaced my meal which was served up again, this time with the pancakes warm and reasonably tasty. However, the eggs came back very salty. (I know there is personal taste, but they were oversalted). Staff member was apologetic and gave me 10% discount off the bill which I appreciated. My friend who had a different dish complained later that day that she couldn't stop drinking. She said that her meal was also very salty. I have been before and one time I was served burnt toast with my breakfast. It was a small mistake but they all add up. It's one thing after another and for me enough is enough, hence my need to leave a review. I shan't be returning. Hopefully, things will improve as it is a pleasant cafe with helpful and friendly staff.

Wonderful vegan food. Special was potato & leek soup which was outstanding. I got the satay bowl which was super tasty. Didn’t have dessert but I was totally satisfied. Server was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Great experience—lovely staff, delicious burgers and great venue.

The Food was remarkable, you have to go to this place and eat yourself to heaven! We had two of the burgers and the falafel bowl, all of this we can really recommend!

Organic Vegan in Edinburgh, Scotland Food**** We got tofu satay salad and the full vegan breakfast. Both were very tasty and delicious!! Atmosphere**** Cozy and warm! Service** Sadly, this was not great. They forgot to put our order in which was upsetting. We were there over an hour and a half.

I like this place because it has both junk and healthy food to choose from, lots of places just serve junk food food so it's a breath of fresh air having veggies and beans.

Lovely kind service, great vegan food, drinks and we even got cake to take away. Dog friendly and were very kind to our dog offering her water. This was my second visit when in Edinburgh and it did not disappoint.

Very good vegan food, with some traditional breakfast options, lovely service and atmosphere all around.

Great food, delicious! One of the best veggy burgers I had!

Really loved eating here. Welcoming atmosphere and great food. I had one of the Buddha bowls with sweet potato fries and the veg was fresh and full of flavor. Lots of take away pick ups from delivery agents so sit back from the door to avoid the draughts.

That shop was really nice however the staff where rude and the food was pretty awful although it did look nice on my story so not a total loss however wouldn’t recommend Also ridiculous price for the amount of food !

Great tasty and healthy food - if you get tired of junky vegan food then this is the place to go

Fully Vegan! The staff was so kind and the food was good. Hard to make a choice with the fun range of creative menu options. A little pricey, but the quality of the food is high and it was a fun treat meal for us. The presentation of the food isn’t flashy (not a requirement for us), but the taste is great. The table next to us ordered one of the bowls and it looked really nice, so we’d love to try that next time. Weekday afternoon was really quiet/not busy. Might need to book a table in advance for busier times. The space isn’t too small, but could fill up quickly. We ordered: BBQ Burger, Savoury Pancakes, Mac N Cheese Chips and an Oat Latte. Just a note that the burgers don’t come with a side, but splurging on the Mac N Cheese Chips was so worth it! Vegan Mac can sometimes be :/, but they do it right!

We are a family of 7 vegans and we loved our meal tonight. We had burgers and Mac & cheese. 100% recommend.

The waitress was very friendly and recommended the soup of the day - she didn't promise too much. The soup was really delicious, as was the bowl. Everything is fresh, beautifully arranged and you will be full. We'll be happy to come back when we're in Edinburgh again!

had a vegan english breakfast that was good! I am not a fan of mock meats but if you like that kind of thing you'll love it! my mom had a bagel that was to die for! the café is in a very nice area! 7/10

Little food, expensive and the waiters don't make an effort

What a delightful experience! Alina truly made our visits memorable with her warmth and impeccable service. Her kindness and thoughtful recommendations added so much to our enjoyment of the delicious dishes. It was a pleasure to be in her company as she exemplified professionalism and genuine hospitality. We were so pleased with our experience that we couldn’t resist returning for a second day in a row. We’re already looking forward to our next visit, knowing that Alina’s hospitality will make it just as wonderful as before!

Overall it was a nice experience but I wish they pay more attention to the ingredients they use! It feels better if vegan food is also healthy for instance the mango chutney over the falafel was basically like a jelly or jam rather than real chutney! I think they use refined sugar in some of their creations! I was told I could have swapped the mango chutney for Tahini sauce which makes more sense to be on top of falafel.

Awesome atmosphere, very friendly and efficient staff. Special thanks to Allina for making us feel welcome and attending to us. Food was also very good, the best brunch we had in a while. Thanks all!

Really good food, booked ahead, had to wait a little too patiently.

Amazing food at Seeds For The Soul. Food was fresh, tasty and just hit the spot for us! The vegan scramble was like egg!!! Loved the place and wonderful, friendly service too. Their cakes are moist, tasty, something else! (Jaffa cake slice was v indulgent)

Some of the best vegan foods in edinburgh

Very disappointed with their main course. I ordered a satay bowl, which was basically just a bunch of salad with a bland sauce. Doesn't worth the money at all.Never come over again.

Amazing vegan food, been looking forward to coming here since arranging my trip to Edinburgh and it didn't disappoint! I got savoury pancakes and the homemade veggie meats/scrambled eggs are on point! Will definitely come again next time I'm in Edinburgh!

I've been to Seeds For The Soul a few times now and have been greeted by lovely staff as soon as I enter every time! The customer service is 10/10 and the food is amazing - what more can you ask for?! If you're looking for a cosy spot for coffee or a meal then look no further! Highly recommend and I'll be back soon!

The only food place I have been that states it's fully vegan and actually truly is! What a beautiful and unique little place. Tasty food! Polite and welcoming staff. Toilets on premises but no easy parking. Easier walking to service.

Delicious food and friendly service. A delight to be in a restaurant with such a brilliant selection and choice.

Tasty vegan food and drinks in this cosy cafe. Whether you prefer wholefoods or modern vegan seitan/proteins the food is delicious. Highlight recently was the Juicy Marbles steak. The cakes are also wonderful with flavours changing by the week.

We drove from London to Edinburgh when my daughter suggested that it is vegan capital of the world and Seeds for Soul proved it. We four sisters met after a tragic event in the family and this place touched our souls for sure. We had invited a local friend who was not vegan and they offered her a free oat milk coffee. Forgot to ask his name, but the guy in the beard was the sweetest person who served.

I took my partner who comes from Spain and struggles to find vegan restaurants/cafes so seeing him indulging your food unstoppably and desperately was exactly what you're looking for in a restaurant. Lovely people, so attentive and caring Needless to say, delicious food

It's honestly my favourite vegan place in Edinburgh! I do recommend even if you're not vegan because it's simply delicious food and who doesn't like it? ❤️

Doing this review because Katherine told me to. I'm going to get £8

This place was amazing such an experience would 100 percent recommend

Insanely tasty - I had the savoury pancakes and they were banging!

Amazing as always, vegan AF, tasty, glorious, just divine.

This is one of the best experiences ive had

Lovely place. Had a surprise birthday catered for amazingly by the staff. Food was the best and was enjoyed by the children to the elderly family. Wonderful place and would highly recommend

Being a vegan food fan, this place stole my heart and definitely tops the list now! To begin with, the place is very cozy and cute and does give a comfortable vibe altogether. The staff was very courteous and all smiles. They did help us with what’s best and what should we go forward with and trust me we loved every bit we had. So we had crispy smashed new potatoes- it was basically a sweet potato salad which was lip smacking. The vegan benny - THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE DISH HERE - an avocado base burger and it was delicious. Every bite was so satisfying, this is a must try. Steak frites with Chimichurri - a juicy and tender vegan steak which was cooked to perfection and it just melted in the mouth. It was served with fries and chimichurri sauce. This is hands down a must try. Chick N Pan Plano - wrap with all amazing ingredients brought together to make it so delicious. The combination of the vegan chicken wrap and the dip was perfect. In drinks, we had a classic cold coffee which perfectly made as per taste requirements and the lime & sea salt kombucha was the best to have with so so much of good foood for the most satisfactory vegan meal! Last but not least we had the Lotus biscoff cheesecake- a perfect ending with amazing texture. This has to be the best vegan restaurant in all of UK. A must try for everyone (even if you eat meat- trust me you’ll love it)

Great Vegan Brunch, can thoroughly recommend.

The smoothies we ordered were delicious, healthy, tasty and also at a good price. The breakfast looked amazing but unfortunately was cold. Especially the mushrooms, beans and tofu. These items must have been sitting on the plate for at least 10 mins to get that cold whilst the other stuff was being plated before being served. We also waited 2-3 mins to get cutlery after our food was served. I wouldn’t have minded if a staff member was around I could have told straight away, but no staff around for a further 5 mins, my friend wanted to eat and we had somewhere to be. I pointed it out to the staff by approaching the service area, who offered to heat it up but I declined and explained we didn’t want to wait further. I ate half of my breakfast excluding most of the items that were cold. We were charged full price for everything and I assume the thinking was because I didn’t take up the offer of the food being re-heated. They should understand the damage was done by this point and not fixable as we didn’t have any more time to wait. If you are served cold food and you can’t wait for another meal, you really think it’s fair to charge the customer? I wouldn’t return based on the poor service and the terrible decision not to comp something off the bill as acknowledgement that it was below par.

J'ai adoré manger dans ce bel endroit. La nourriture et les boissons étaient délicieuses (j'ai beaucoup aimé le Sun Salutation!), à prix abordable, et le personnel très gentil

I'm not vegan but enjoy plant based options, so took my daughter and her friend here. The Satay burger was hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. Very fresh with a kick! My daughter loved the Mac n cheese bowl and the smoothies went down great as well. Service was also lovely. Thanks very much!

Atmosphere (busy and warm) , staff, menu choices and food (We were in a group of 4 , different choices) all our idea of perfect. Not in Edinburgh often but if we are , we will be coming back.

So disappointing. I am vegan, and I’ve been looking forward to trying their food for a while. Overpriced, small portions and food looking rather sad. £6 for a handful (literally) of soggy, limp, super greasy sweet potato fries. Yes I did order takeaway via Deliveroo and I can therefore understand the fries arriving cold, but still…Not even one sauce on the side for that ridiculous price?! Or a bigger portion at least. Couldn’t believe my eyes. Satay bowl consisted of just some dry, shredded lettuce, cabbage and carrot, four strips of tofu and basic peanut sauce, for almost £15. Not even some noodles or rice…? Total rip-off. £21 down the drain. No idea how they justify these prices.

Great vegan place, fresh and great hot chocolates , delicious cakes and food, they use to do vegan sashimi’s that was banging wish they bring it back burgers are yummy and falafel Bowls
