"Green Seed Vegan, a soy-free vegan restaurant, has been solidly holding down the corner of Almeda and Wheeler for over a decade. The small spot’s menu has mostly raw foods, gluten-free friendly collard green wraps, and delicious, spicy burgers made with buckwheat quinoa and sunflower meal. Whatever vegan alchemy Green Seed performs we appreciate, especially on a day that calls for cold-pressed buckwheat juice." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"Soul Food Vegan is an unassuming Third Ward spot serving meatless comfort food. Expect fresh-pressed moringa lemonade alongside hefty Cajun pastas and burgers. There can be the occasional consistency issue, but on the right days, you’ll be ready to pledge your allegiance to oyster mushrooms. Order the deep-fried strips in a po’boy or straight up beside a scoop of collard greens for a quick bite." - gianni greene
"An unassuming joint across the street from Emancipation Park, Soul Food Vegan is a neighborhood spot making vegan southern comfort food with a dash of Creole flavor. The menu has Cajun pasta, burgers, jambalaya, and fresh-pressed moringa juice, but the star of the show is anything that involves oyster mushrooms. You should try their po’boy with deep-fried oyster mushrooms that crackle when you bite into them, coated in spicy mayo and topped with crisp red onions. You don’t go to Soul Food Vegan for the ambiance, but rather for a quick bite of vegan comfort food to finish off the day." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"A Third Ward institution since 2012, this sandwich shop and juice bar was among the first vegan shops in the neighborhood. Here, the lineup include freshly pressed paninis like the “PB&P” (a sweet combination of caramelized plantains and peanut butter) and raw fare like nori rolls filled with almond pate. Meatless takes on popular sandwiches include the Illy cheesesteak, a French baguette stacked with grilled portobello mushrooms and caramelized red onions with vegan cheese. Order a side of the fried cauliflower nuggets with a tangy dipping sauce, and top it all off with a juice or fruit smoothie." - Brianna Griff
"Green Seed Vegan, a soy-free and mostly raw vegan spot in the Third Ward, serves up a trifecta of third-tier friend energy while remaining delicious. First, Green Seed is a counter service restaurant. Second, even though it’s open for lunch and dinner, Green Seed closes at 8pm, so no late-night hang ups. Third, the spicy-sweet-tang of dishes—like the Big Tosh with maple jerk garbanzo tempeh or the sunflower walnut chorizo Rockin’ Tacos—will keep you talking about the food and not about awkward college memories or that time you both worked at insert-big-box-store-here." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
