The Seed - Community Wholefood Shop and Cafe in Teignbridge

The 2 members of staff behind the counter were too busy decanting olives to serve me. Had gone out of my way to try and support a local business with good ethics but ended up being a huge waste of time.

Lovely shop, friendly staff and lots of good food and supplies. Definitely worth a visit

Great community shop, keen prices too.

Nice shoo friendly staff

This is a fantastic wholefood and fruit and veg shop with a wide range and also toiletries and supplements .. wonderful staff and open 7 days a week .. 7 til 7 weekdays and a shorter day on Sunday. I use it every week for most of my shopping.

Zero waste? .... Zero customer service!Stood at the counter for 5 minutes whilst staff members made coffee and put out stock. Seen but not acknowledged once...Had to ask for someone to let me pay for my goods... Very nearly left to go to the cheaper newsagents across the road.Paid for my stuff, the second my payment went through, the lady Instantly went back to what she was doing without saying a word to me... The receipt printed a few seconds later....I am quite obviously not from the local area, perhaps the seed is a bit too community focussed? Perhaps I just caught the staff on a bad day... Who knows?

Super selection of goods plus friendly service and nice coffee

Wonderful friendly place with great products.

I love this place. The seed is making a real impact with its organic, substainable approach to food. The staff work very hard to make this place work as a social hub too and they sell amazing organic coffee and lovely teas. My favourite is Earl grey. Jack is my favourite barista, because he makes my coffee just so, and talks so nicely to the older ladies, bless him. But they are all great and this place is a must visit if you are coming to Buckfastleigh.

Listed as a 'Health food shop' but this place is so much more! They are moving in the right direction with their large range of plastic free produce. They also serve organic coffee and tea with a cosy seating area available! Keep up the good work!
