Mustard Seed Market - Montrose, Akron, Ohio Restaurant Details

Food:

This place earns way more than 5 stars.

Cafe: I don't like to eat on an empty stomach. We started with the quinoa nachos and vegan nacho cheese. Awesome, no scallions, and the pepper didn't bother me. I also got a serving to take home, and enjoyed that the next day, as well. I went with the Brie & 3 Cheese something. Holy fricking cow. The bread was ever so gently toasted to be crisped, but not burnt at all. The three cheese (vegan) was fantastic. Whatever the substance was (tempeh?) was solid, but not too firm, and had an excellent taste. The sandwich was perfection, and had an interesting taste with the syrup. The coleslaw was awful. I hate peppers, the taste tosses my stomach. The waitress offered me something else, even to go since I was stuffed, but no issue. She never let our drinks go under half, was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, very accommodating. Fantastic. All of the food was excellent. My friend has salmon, which she really enjoyed, the other had the Gard-in Chick-in sandwich, was pretty good- but plain, as they wanted it.

We shopped, then came back for dessert... We each got one, and shared. Unfortunately I made the best choice...the chocolate cake. The mousse was good, but I'm not a mousse person. The cheesecake was also good, but not as good as the chocolate cake.

The market...

Has just about everything vegan and natural you could want, the first place I have even found with Amaranth. Try the vegan double chocolate cookies...seriously, the perfect cookie.

What a wonderful store!! Coming in, all you smell are delightful seasonings and oils, fresh produce and No chemicals! Finally, a store that whatever I choose, I can eat it without being poisoned. ..Saturday morning seafood person was so helpful...she showed the inside of the trout, explained how to cook it and was very personable! I will be coming back soon!

Food:

This is a phenomenal store, similar in many ways to a Whole Foods, but with its own unique flavor. It has a few items that I don't find at Whole Foods, like Butterbeer! I have always enjoyed the service as well, and that is so crucial when you are paying a bit more for what is still a grocery store. I know when I go here I will find healthy food that was chosen with the careful consumer in mind and then my shopping experience will be topped off with a courteous clerk.

I've gone here twice recently, and both times, the food was great! However, the service is a hit or miss. the first time, I took my little one to lunch and our waitress was great, service was quick. We went back to have dinner on a Friday night with a friend and her little one, and it was quite busy since there was live music. The food was still great, but they forgot to send a waiter over, so after 25 minutes of waiting, I had to go ask for a wait person because they had forgotten about us. Once he showed up and took our order, I asked him if he could bring my little one's drink and some crayons first, but another 25 minutes later I had to go up to the bar and ask for a kid's apple juice and some crayons, because my son was playing with water drops on the table and asking for a drink repeatedly.
I know waitstaff have off nights, we're all human, but our waiter honestly looked like he was repulsed to be serving us, which is unusual because he never came to see how our dinner was, so we barely interacted with him. He brought out to-go boxes for us and that was that. My first experience was during lunch so it was not as busy, I understand, but our waitress packed up our food and was so accommodating. This night, we had two little ones, helping box our leftovers would have been helpful, as other wait staff was doing around us.

Food:

Best place to shop gluten free. They are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
