the seed. Coffee + Juice Bar 199 West Palmetto Park Road, Boca Raton, FL 33432

"Is nothing sacred? The Seed used to be so great. Two changes - I don't know why - there is now, often, truly horrible hard rock music, played very loudly, almost deafening. I don't know who could like this. Second, the default milk is now 2% which leads to bitter coffees with little smoothness. Sometimes this is mentioned and one might request whole milk - but sometimes not. A bad change. Finally the food - at least the quiches & croissant breakfast sandwiches - are not good; they need a different provider. Very nice staff & service. Except for the music sadist"

"I’ve become less and less impressed with this place. Yes the coffee IS good. However the smoothies are awful. I’ve gotten two here (the posty and drop it like it’s hot) and they’ve both tasted like bland ice with banana. The part that gives this place three stars is the service. It’s painfully slow. I waited 30 minutes with 3 other people ahead of me for a smoothie. If you’re looking for a quick in and out I do not recommend this spot. It does have a nice atmosphere if you’re looking for a quiet work/study spot."

"+1 star: The snacks and desserts are tasty and they have really good hot and cold beverages. +1 star: The atmosphere is hip and trendy, not super comfy, but good for a shop like this. +1 star: Even though the oven was closed, they still made an accommodation for me. -1 star: The staff is polite, but that said, do not come here 30 min before closing or their ovens will be off. Also, the service takes a tiny dive, as they seem to be more preoccupied with closing at 5pm. You can FEEL that they just want to close up, even though it's not time yet, and you're a customer. -1 star: We were sitting outside and waiting for our order (like at the other seed shop) and they never came out, so my wife went to check and make sure our order was ready, and it was there waiting for us. Hence I dropped another star. All things considered, I'd give this place another try at a better time, but I literally rated the seed at Lighthouse Point at 5 stars all the way across, so why risk the drive and the money if I know the other place is super great?"

"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 board visit!"
