Seeds for the Soul

If you live in Edinburgh and believe in the adage that a healthy body equals a healthy mind, you're probably going to want to get yourself down to Seeds For The Soul, pronto. This 100% vegan cafe has planted itself firmly in the heart of bustling Bruntsfield and with its delicious sandwiches, salads, cakes and smoothies, it looks set to be a winner.

The menu is bursting at the seams with healthy, colourful creations. Start the day right with a hearty vegan brekkie, sweet pancakes or heavenly toast, loaded with avacado, red onion, garlic and hemp seeds. Plunge right into lunch with a fiery jalapeno toastini, made with organic sourdough bread and vegan cheese. Warm the belly with a Soul Bowl, spilling over with soba noodles. Fill in the gaps with a freshly-pressed smoothie, perhaps even a Krav Maca, a wonder of cinnamon-infused, blueberry and oat milk proportions.

Or perhaps you're in a coffee 'n' cake kinda zone? Nae danger. There's a daily-changing array of cakes and bakes to tuck into, all plant-focused and many with gluten and dairy-free alternatives too. They go rather nicely with a hazlenut almond milk cappucino if the caffeine levels are running low or maybe even a kombucha tea, if you're needing a little spring in your step. Either way, the fine folks at Seeds for the Soul are here to nourish you, from the belly to the head.
