"Green Seed Vegan, a soy-free vegan restaurant, has been solidly holding down the corner of Almeda and Wheeler for over a decade. The interior is minimal and green and dressed up with bamboo and fake wheatgrass, kind of like an Ikea cafeteria. First, it was a food truck with a legion of loyal fans, but now it’s become somewhat of a Third Ward classic thanks to its fusion of Tex-Mex, Cajun, and American cuisines for a balanced blend of sweet, and tangy flavors. Weekends are busy, but on weekdays you can pop in for a cold-press wheatgrass juice, spicy burgers made with buckwheat quinoa patties and jalapeño, or raw veggie tacos.
