17/02/11 Eden's Cafe in St Austell opened today.  It occupies a corner spot with super views to the South.  It has a comfortable, light open plan feel and there was lots of trade to try out the food.

 

17/02/11 There's lots of local and good for you food with smiling staff as well, what more could you ask.  There's also a book swap counter with a growing selection of books.

 

17/02/11 Books flying over head reminded me of an early Harry Potter film, but they behaved and didn't swoop down and pinch my lunch.

 

17/02/11 It was so good to see local produce on sale too, it's early days, but form the trade today I think it's going to do well. Next time your in St Austell eat local, eat well, eat at the Eden Cafe.

 

12/02/11 Spring is on its way at Eden.

 

12/02/11 Little bursts of sunshine are springing up everywhere and soon Eden will be a blaze of colour.
