| - My first attempt to come here was on a Friday night, around 7pm. The 1st problem was that I couldn't find it. My iPhone map said I was there, and I knew that I was at 38th St & Indian School, but I couldn't find it. I went into the strip mall that's on the NW corner of 38th & Indian School, thinking that maybe it was hidden in there somewhere. Nope. So I decided to exit the strip mall onto 38th and lo and behold, I see "s.e.e.d." in bright orange letters...on the SIDE of the building. *side-eye* The front of the building, which faces the main road, has the name, "The Madison Improvement Club," on it in glowing bright lights. I passed by this, like twice. Silly me; it didn't click that s.e.e.d. was an acronym for The Madison Improvement Club. (sarcasm) In fairness, there is a banner hung on the front wall that mentions burritos and "s.e.e.d. cafe." Mind you, this building is on the NE corner of Indian School & 38th St, so while you're rubber necking to look at that little banner, you're likely to rear-end someone who's either stopping at that light, or turning at that corner in front of you. So let me tell you what the business's website fails to: s.e.e.d. is located inside of, or shares a space with, The Madison Improvement Club, which I assume, judging by the abundance of yoga mats, yoga pant-cladded clientele, and the highlighted, "OM" in the sign, is a yoga studio.
A vegan site had their hours listed as 6am-9pm, M-F. I did not check s.e.e.d.'s website first. Alas, they were closed. The hours on the door indicate that they're open 6a-7:02pm on Fridays. But again, 7pm, and they were closed. I checked their website and it clearly says their hours are 6am-2pm on Fridays. That's my fault for not double checking.
Anyway, I went back today and ordered the You're So Keen sandwich. I ordered mine without the vegan cheese or tomatoes. The side of the day was Tahini Cauliflower, so I choose that instead of the standard side of tabbouleh. My total was $9.75. The sandwich was ok. It was not bad. It was not memorable. It was just ok. I tasted 1 speckle of spice in one bite, but that was about it in the flavor department. A nice guy, who was working there, suggested I try it as a wrap next time; he said it's super good as a wrap. I'll keep that in mind. That tahini cauliflower dish was very tasty though. Not bland, and not too overpowering either. The cauliflower was nicely cooked too; it still had its crunch.
It's a small, cozy cafe with a decent amount of vegan items. Vegan options are noted with a "V," whereas, the vegetarian options have "VEG" by them.
Everything seems really light and healthy, and the food was very fresh. They have juices, smoothies, and a grab-n-go case that is stocked with salads and some desserts; however, there were no vegan desserts when I went. Bummer. They have a nice, covered patio area with a cute picnic table, as well as a few bar tables. They have their own parking lot (which is really cute, by the way), but it was very full; I got the last parking spot in the lot. I assume most of the cars belonged to yoga students, because there were only about 6 people in the cafe, 3 of whom were the staff.
Cute cafe. Ok food vegan, in my opinion. There are other vegan options very close by, so it's doubtful that I'll revisit.
