From a weekend market stall, The Good Seed has evolved into a vegan/vegetarian café, commissary, and delivery service—all rolled into one concept. The food here is light, simple, and tasty, much like their clean and minimalist interiors. Go for the hearty Mushroom Meals where you can choose from Filipino favorites tapa, sisig, or longganisa—all of which are vegan and come with brown rice and salad.

Good vegan food. I really appreciate how they made vegan food so interesting and delicious. My favorite so far is the fried risotto balls. If you’re looking for guilt free food, Edgy Veggy is the right place for you.
