Review: I love the mustard seed pre made foods. They have great vegan options for pre-made lunches and dinners. The bakery also has lots of vegan options which are great (especially the carrot macrobiotic muffins and double chocolate cookies). The cafe is just ok. I tend to think that the vegetarian/vegan options are a bit bland and expensive. But I try to support them when I can because there are not a lot of restaurants with so many vegan options.
Pros: great pre made options * vegan baked goods! *
Cons: bland cafe foods * sometimes a little pricey * |

Review: Ok so, anybody who does not like this place is crazy! The only thing I would ever say negative is that it is expensive!Thye have a great selection of all kinds of foods and products. I actually used to work thee a long time ago,and they take the utmost care in their kitchen to prepare the best food they can! One of my very favorite things in the whole place is their chicken salad at the deli, mmmmmmmmmm! If you go there,get a wheatgrass shot at the juice bar-it will make your day! The brunch on sunday is very good,but again-expensive!
Pros: great selection * fresh foods * caring staff
Cons: expensive * * |

Review: The Mustard Seed...though not 100% vegetarian...is a mainstay of my diet.
First, the grocery: this store has everything, but everything, a vegetarian or vegan could want or need. In addition to the shelf items, the deli is WONDERFUL. The staff is always there with a smile (at least most of them), and the selection is always wonderful AND healthy. I buy most of my groceries here. When comparing the produce to a standard market like Buehler's or Giant Eagle...well, there's just no comparison. The organic produce at a regular market looks like it's been on the shelf for weeks.
As for the restaurant, I have NEVER had a bad meal there...and I've eaten many of them. The selection of vegetarian and of vegan meals is great, and the wait staff caters to those on veg diets. Unlike other restaurants, they don't look at you like you're crazy.
Absolutely the best restaurant in Akron....bar none. Even beats out the Vegeteranian...though the Seed does serve non-veg diets, so one must be careful.
There needs to be one of these type stores/cafes in every city in the nation. I pity those that don't have one.
Pros: Great selection * Great food *
Cons: Busy on Wednesdays (Seniors day) * * |

Review: It hurts me to write this review, but sometimes the truth hurts.
I have eaten at the Mustard Seed many times over the years, and this last time may be my last. The food isn't cutting it any longer, the service is slow at best, and the portions at lunch are a joke. They claimed that the juices were fresh squeezed, yet when mine arrived I could tell right away that it was not. The server then admitted that only the carrot was made there. Uh, gee, that's quite a big thing to leave off the menu. The bread was stale, and the server seemed bored. Very disappointing since I had enjoyed so many meals here before.
Now, if I could give negative stars to the grocery part of the Mustard Seed, I most definitely would! The prices are completely insulting to vegetarians and regular folk as well. Nearly TWICE the price of Trader Joe's on the same exact items! Granted, TJ's buys in bulk and can afford to sell things at a discount, but TWICE?! The produce is good, and mostly organic, for that they still get kudos. One final thing: Someone needs to tell the Mustard Seed to re-label their baked goods. They sell certain cakes and cookies as being "vegan", yet they contain regular old white refined sugar, which as you know, is certainly NOT vegan.
Someone needs to open up a Trader Joes in Akron ASAP to force the Mustard Seed to lower their prices!
Pros: Produce in the market * smoothies in the cafe * teriaki tofu noodle dish
Cons: "Fresh" juices are not so fresh * PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS in the market * Service in the cafe needs improvement |
