I went yesterday for the first time. My daughter, who has Down Syndrome, told me that her group goes to Seeds and folds/rolls the silverware into napkins. That earns a big plus for me. Seeds is next to Josh and Johns a little hidden as you have to go through a hallway (which is colorfully painted) to get to it. A few tables are outside, still under cover in the hallway. They have lots of vegan and gluten free meals and when I passed my credit card it was really weird to hear "how much would you like to donate" I have no idea.... I didnt even know what food I was to expect. So be prepared for that. I paid for 2 meals with drinks so I said "20$" - maybe I overpaid by a few bucks, but hey this place is giving people great opportunities. The ONLY thing that I really had a problem with was smell. Not sure what it was ... it smelled like old cheese inside. I had a hard time handling it hence we were sitting outside, which was better for me....

Ive been wanting to try Seeds since I first heard of it! I love the idea behind this place, as well as the atmosphere and nice people who make it work! I was greeted by two gentlemen at the door, Phil gave me the low down on the menu and how it worked. I had the ABC Burger, which as delish! I also had the kale Caesar salad which exceeded my expectations! Wow, didnt know kale could taste that good! Everyone was very friendly, the place, bathroom included were clean and tidy, I like that a lot! I would recommend trying this place at least once, its cool, and it helps our community :)

The food is really good, and they have many great vegan options. The menu changes regularly, but the quality and presentation of the food is extremely good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I love the pay what you can/want option because those who can pay more will, and it helps those who cant afford much. They also have an option to volunteer at the place in exchange for food. Theres a cute little community bookshelf outside on the patio, and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Their vision is to "envision a world in which the dream of eliminating hunger—of the body and the spirit—has been achieved." I would have given this place more stars, but Im from this world and this broth did not eliminate my hunger. Hope whoever is running this place is not pocketing 90% of what I paid for in this broth (southwestern Chicken soup) and is actually doing something positive for someone who really needs to eat.

This IS the best resturant in Colorado Springs outside of The Broadmorre. You can go on your own wild goose chase to check if Im right, but youd just end up at the same conclusion. Seeds Community Cafe is exceptional, is unique, and is a great option for Vegans and Vegitarians as well as meat lovers :) Open 11:00 AM--2:30 PM Just go down the alley next to Josh and Johns and you have arrived.

First off, not only is the food outstanding, and organic, butt the place helps feed the local community and gives to the homeless. Its a donation basis, so if you are down on your luck, they will give you a meal for free. The second time, you work for an hour or two and theyll give you a meal. Its a small hole in the wall, but everybody that goes there loves the place and what it stands for.

As we entered the restaurant we really liked the energy of the atmosphere. We were made to feel as if our donation was not enough and ended up paying 20 dollars for a small piece of bread with cheese on it that lacked any sort of flavour. The other meal that was ordered was dull with no flavour as well.

Awesome concept!... go downtown and share in the community. Food that is healthy, natural, some vegan and all delicious. Friendly staff. Art on the walls. Suggested per person $13.50 includes soup or salad and healthy entree. Highly suggested Kale Caesar salad. The staff is waiting to welcome you!

This is a wonderful idea in action! Pay for your food if you can, pay what you can, pay for someone elses food, work off the cost of your food. And the food is delicious, prepared by chefs! The decor and tables are comfortable and artsy. This is a great place to hang out and meet people, too.

I cant say enough good about this place. The concept is brilliant and the atmosphere is so comfortable. The food is excellent. One of the things I love about this place is the unique local art on the wall. Some of it is even for sale, which Im sure helps support local artists.

Good wholesome dietary selection. Wait times are long. Servers very professional. Free meals available with volunteer work for payment. Books and music for single dining patrons as entertainment. Brunch hours only.

A unique lunch experience. Have had the 3-bean soup and the chili; both were excellent along with the salad. I actually enjoy the self serve beverages rather than trying to get a waiters attention.

This place puts every up scale restaurant in springs to shame... Under $15 for an entree of the best food you could possibly buy, prepared perfectly!
