Eden Cafe - West Oxfordshire

Brought a coffee from here,came in minute's before closure,takeout coffee is what they could offer.Very nice cafe,suprised to learn how many gluten free options they offered.There was a really impressive selection of options.Including pancakes for breakfast,will have to come here for breakfast one day probably at Christmas when Wonka comes out at the nearby cineworld.Really friendly staff and a lovely vibe.They even have a community notice board too.The cafe seating area is separate from the coffee shop.

We visited Witney and googled somewhere for lunch. The top entry was this fantastic Vegan Cafe. Visited and had a great lunch.

For full disclosure, I am an ex employee of this business. Now I am no longer affiliated with the cafe, I feel I can finally give my unbiased review of both dining here and working here. I am a vegan with coeliacs disease, a condition that has severely effected my life. Eden is the only place I am able to safely have a meal within a 50 mile radius of where I live. To accommodate people like me with severe allergies, the processes this cafe have are different from most vegan restaurants- a process that someone without experience of these life threatening allergies would struggle to understand. Safety and an inclusive, tasty menu at a reasonable price is what to expect here. As someone who has worked in hospitality for ten years, the cleanliness and care taken to ensure peace of mind for customers is unmatched. From a personal point of view, the care and compassion Becs (the owner of Eden) shows for her staff is something I haven’t experienced before in this industry. Becs’ priorities are the well-being of her employees, to the point of working through chemotherapy to help staff during busy days. This attitude has developed a wonderful community around the cafe. Eden is a perfect example of what an independent business can be under good ownership. I am so happy Eden exists- for a lot of us, it is a rare experience of feeling normal and accepted when eating out. All my thanks go to Becs for a wonderful and informative year of employment- I will continue to visit eden as a customer as often as I can.

A cute little cafe and I can see there is an immense cake variety for vegans and this is marvellous. I wanted a quick lunch and ordered the falafel wrap. I think it could have been a lot better. The outside wrap was cold and the inside comprised of 4 tiny falafel balls which were slightly dry and burnt. The server asked me if I wanted extra sauce (at extra price) and I said no and then I realised why. The interior red cabbage was smeared with the tiniest amount of sauce and there might as well have been none. I think this is very poor value for money I mean how hard is it to make a falafel wrap with generosity and serve the whole thing warm? At a cost of £8. A very lacklustre vegetarian sandwich and I can make a lot better myself I ordered an apple juice it came lukewarm and was definitely the stuff that comes out of a plastic bottle. Shame. Not impressed at lack of effort and lack of cooking skill.

Oh my goodness what an absolute Gem of a cafe, I cannot believe how many GLUTEN FREE options there are! Around 90% of the mouthwatering menu is gluten free. The menu range is stunning so many favours and creative ideas. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. If you ever wanted to eat at one place for the rest of your life this would be it! Only thing I would say to improve on would be to expand and share your glory in other places. It gets busy lunchtimes so get there early! I loved the sweet little touches of creativity including the ‘Gluten Guard Kiwi’ which made me chuckle : Thankyou Eden Cafe, Marvellous! Just Marvellous!
