the seed. Coffee + Juice Bar — Restaurant in Boca Raton

Updated July 2024:

The experience and product across of The Seed as they expand has greatly diminished unfortunately. In this month alone, I've visited two Boca locations and Delray several times. A couple of the times, I had to dispose of my drink because they were made poorly and didn't measure up with the typical standard. I really like The Seed. I do hope they can maintain quality as they expand.

More often than not, you find a place on Instagram with drool worth pics only to visit and find out the pics are literally just that, great pics but the food IRL is awful. I've been on so many of these abort mission immediately trips that I've become a serious skeptic. SMH.

Well, we entered The Seed and noticed there was constantly a long line - good sign but this has fooled me in the past so the jury was still out. When we reached the counter to order, I shared with the representative that this was our first time visiting, and that I'd found them on Instagram annnndddddd that we had traveled from over an hour away with experimenting at their coffee shop in mind. The representative began to sing. No seriously, she literally sang a welcome to us and in broken chords, we sang right back that we were happy to be there! LOL

The menu has so many options, (and I'm greedy) so I was having trouble narrowing down a selection but decided to with one of the holiday offerings. Ofter all, they're limited so might as well try them while their available. I remember seeing holiday drinks on their Instagram page but couldn't remember anything in particular so I made a selection but did a visual stroll of the menu just one last time......And there IT was. IT all caps was a Strawberry and Cream Matcha. Now, I've had A LOT of matcha, it's my thing. I've even met the exec at Starbucks that introduced matcha to Starbucks okay? But out came this vision of absolute bliss. No joke. I didn't even want to drink it, perfection in a glass. Two customers immediately asked us to take a sip and rate it for them! LOL Other customers began nudging each other to look at THAT. I was so excited but...the jury was still out. Taste above everything.

Got to the car and WOWZERS, WOW-ZERS!!!!!! Luv, luv, luv IT! I had a full drink and I was already planning for my next one. How quickly could I take an hour plus trip to have this thing again? Could I have two in a single day? Wild thoughts!

I WILL BE BACK! 5 star across the...

The original coffee house staff was terrific, but they all quit and it was terrible in year two. So bad that I complained in 2017. I run Forbes Fove-Star hotels and spas. Therefore, I wouldn't say I like problems and complaints, but it was getting out of control Atbyhecncwvstelkar coffee house. It was significant because it meant that those who commuted to Miami or further had to pass on coffee in the mornings as the employees would brazenly look at us waiting outside in the dark through the glass door n the mornings and move to the back of the house so we could no longer stare at them until they felt like opening. Did the clueless housewife owner apologize? Of course not. The owner-housewife sent me a defensive e-mail defending why she was righteous and justified in not caring what the other customers or I thought. To clarify, I wanted to give her $6 for a cup of coffee and $13 for a smoothie daily, and I was one of four or five trying to do the same. The owner housewife sounded like a spoiled child whose father or husband (or both) had thrown way too much money at advisors, accountants, branding agencies, interior designers, architects, contractors, food and beverage advisors, retail consultants, and every other kind of consultant to create a VERY basic coffee shop to keep her from feeling like irrelevant, obtuse, and useless child bearing vessel she was. I did not return for five years, and The Seed is located on the corner of my block. My husband says I was stubborn, but the entitled housewife owner of The Seed was symbolic of everything wrong about rich, entitled girls whose families throw money at creating illusions of success for them. However, it looks like it sold, so maybe a business person purchased it. Hope springs eternal that I can now freely purchase coffee from a...

The Seed Coffee - Boca Raton: Where Caffeine Meets Eye Candy

Let me start by saying that The Seed Coffee in Boca has cracked the code on the perfect storm of great coffee, gorgeous interiors, and... well, let's just say their customer demographic is suspiciously attractive. Is there something in the cold brew? Are they secretly running a backdoor modeling agency? I have questions.

First, the practical stuff: This gem is perfectly positioned just a short stroll from the Brightline station, making it the ideal pit stop whether you're commuting or just escaping your air conditioning bill. Speaking of escape, stepping inside feels like entering a Pinterest board come to life - the interior design is so beautifully curated that you'll forget you're in South Florida and not some trendy café in Tulum. It's the perfect oasis from the relentless heat that makes a person question life choices and global warming when in South Florida living in paradise.

The drinks? Classic Seed perfection. Consistently delicious, never disappointing, exactly what you'd expect from this beloved local chain. The baristas are as sweet and lovely as always - genuine smiles and actually care about your order, which is refreshing in our increasingly robotic world.

But here's the real mystery: every single Seed location I've visited seems to be magnetically attracting beautiful people. Seriously, is this documented somewhere? This is some kind of anti-Orwellian social experiment. It's like someone curated the crowd along with the interior: to make you happy and grateful to be alive.

Bottom line: Come for the coffee, stay for the AC and scenery. Just don't blame me when you find yourself "needing" caffeine here every single day and cancelling your gym membership to afford it.

Highly recommend!...
