Redby Coffee in Eden

Found this great coffee shop on a stopover en route to Scotland. Friendly welcome, great food at reasonable price and great coffee.

Staff very friendly & great service, they even made me a fresh vegan sandwich. Nothing was too much trouble, excellent!

Called in for a family lunch. I thought it was really mean the staff wouldn’t give us any tap water for our toddler, despite the fact we were buying food & drinks for a group of us which was about £30. We had to buy a bottle of mineral water additionally to give our toddler some. I’ve not experienced that in any other cafe. Also note there is no kids menu although our toddler managed to eat a whole adult panini so that worked out ok. Otherwise the food & drinks were nice enough and seating area ok if a bit dated. Loo facilities ok if basic.

Looked cosy from the outside so decided to pop in and get coffees and maybe a bite to eat. Tend to want to try new cafes rather than Costa/Nero/Starbucks. The coffees weren’t great, not bad but not great. What was a bit disappointing is not having a glass of water alongside the coffees and being told to buy a plastic bottle. It’s an ok experience but I’ve had better at most overs if I’m being honest.

This venue does not know what it wants to be. An ice cream parlor... a sweet shop... a bar... a card shop... santas grotto with the sheer volume of decorations hanging over the kitchen and food prep area. Came in for a late breakfast but this was only served until 11am. Ordered 2 paninis that come with chips and salad and got a tuna baguette with cranberry sauce on the side of the baguette ( not a panini) as it was toasted with a different item causing the sauce to leak onto my food. Was told to help myself to cutlery (but others got theirs taken to them) the food came with chips that were a totally reheated not fresh as it took less than 3 minutes to prepare all foods and bring them to the table this is 2 panini. Sorry baguette is what they really are... 2 coffees chips and salad. Not really impressed to be fair... far too much sald on the plate with very very chunky coleslaw.... reheated chips... baguette not a panini served on a plastic star shaped Christmas plate... I'm over 30 not 12... then as before you just surrounded by basically other shops all under the same roof... an icecream parlor... mr Simms sweet shop and a pick and mix..... a bar... and various cards not impressed really to be honest.
