    Eden Sandwich bar is a real gem, clearly very popular. Menu with plenty of choice including vegetarian and delicious home made food. Staff are extremely friendly and certainly will be using regularly.

    £10.50 for half a bowl of Caesar salad. I asked to swop chicken for salmon and hold the croutons and dressing They left off the parmesan and were very surly when I went back and asked for it. Used to be excellent here. Not returning.

    An old fashioned cafe, honest food freshly prepared. Lots of take-away trade at lunchtime. Very reasonable prices, with good service.

    Nice little place. They cater for most dietary requirements and the selection of food is impressive, as well as the prices not being too bad. I had a strawberry and banana milkshake which was homemade and delicious. Service was a tad slow, but nice all the same. My only (very small) criticism is that the inside can be a bit stuffy in warmer weather. Not sure if they have air con or not? If not, a few pedestal fans would be great. Otherwise - will come again!

    I think this place would be good with a group of people but going by myself I struggled to settle in a bit. I have autism and going to coffee shops can be a struggle most of the time due to noise and bright lights so if you are looking to read or study this place might be a bit noisy. My latte was okay but not as strong as I like so I would probably ask for a double shot if you like it stronger. Again if you're coming along with a group to have lunch and coffee then this place is perfect for that lively chat. Not the place to have your downtime or study. Will have to come back with some friends for lunch.

    Firstly great location and can't fault the service, great stuff. I'm an Eggs Benedict fusspot and I'm afraid the breakfast I had here was below the mark. The Untoasted muffin and meek hollandaise bring down the overall score but the honey roast ham instead of bacon I'm sorry to say leaves a very bad taste in the mouth and the price is not competitive considering these things. I had nothing else on the menu so can't comment here but the place was busy and people were enjoying their visit. Eden is very accommodating to families and there's plenty of room for a pushchair. Thanks for catering for non caffeine drinkers, the decaf vanilla latte was very nice.

    Cool vibe but very stingy on the fillings. My vegetarian panini had about 2 leaves of rocket and 2 sun dried tomatoes. Not worth £7 for essentially bread for lunch.

    Arguably the best lunch I've had! Chicken and pesto ciabatta was sublime! The carrot cake is hands down the best I've ever had. The staff were amazing, very friendly and to top it off fair prices for the food! 10/10

    🌷I love this place. Their fresh foods are just that, freshly cooked, freshly prepared. 🌷May I recommend their homemade soups, their sandwiches and jacket potato meals, all of which I've enjoyed. 🌷The homemade cakes are delicious and worth exploring. 🥀The only downside for me is that the toilet is up a flight of stairs which I cannot manage. However, being in the Arcade, there are toilets there and a lift to access them. These are clean and well maintained.

    I’ve been here a few times now and it’s always lovely, the staff are very friendly and the food is all freshly made and very tasty. However I had a ploughman’s for the first time there today which I chose to have with Brie and cheddar cheese. It came with homemade chutney and coleslaw which were both amazing. The reason my score isn’t 5 star is due to the cheddar cheese being just the thin ready sliced mild cheddar slices. Very disappointing and unusual for a ploughman’s not to have a nice slab of mature cheddar. Hopefully this will change in the future…

    Visited for brunch with a friend recently & so glad we chose here, both of us had the Eggs Royale (with salmon) and tea/drinks, as others mention the muffins are served as un-toasted, though the whole dish was still very nice. The general presentation and atmosphere in this place made the visit and with 2 areas downstairs plus more room upstairs there’s a good choice of tables (loo is upstairs in case that matters to some). We’d definitely love to return ❤️ Edit: Just been for another visit on a weekend, v good!…& lovely helpful staff. Just realised there’s a terrace so will be back (photos).

    Lovely cafe with loads of space and friendly staff. Eden is my favourite spot to pop in for lunch in Maidstone town. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Keith H. 1 year ago on Google
    Well worth taking a few steps from the main shopping area to visit this cafe. There is nothing adventurous on the menu but the food is tasty and well presented. Staff are very happy and helpful. Wide variety of places to sit both ground floor and upstairs. Enjoyed the groovy music 🎶 Also works well for food to take out.

    Just perfect for Saturday brunch (breakfast served until 12:30). There are regular, veggie and vegan options available at reasonable prices. All freshly made and served by dog loving friendly staff. So, next time you’re in the town take your four-legged friend for quick bite or cup of tea or coffee.

    Been going here on and off for years but this was the first time with our two babies. Staff, service and food was fantastic.

  • 5/5 matt r. 1 year ago on Google
    Had lunch here for second time today since moving into area. Lovely tucked away place, friendly and cheerful staff, decent food and coffee. A special mention for the Halloumi fries and chilli dip, they were the best we have ever had

  • 5/5 Kevin T. 1 year ago on Google
    Always great food and friendly, fast service. The place itself is really nice and the tables are well spread out so you're not on top of each other. Highly recommended.

    Cute place, friendly welcoming staff, amazing vegan breakfast and fresh juice. I sat out on the terrace which was very peaceful.

  • 5/5 jodie d. 1 year ago on Google
    Have eaten in eden several times. Sometimes eat in, and sometimes take away. Staff are lovely. Food is very well Priced, and is tasty. I do like how its tasty but healthy food. One of my favourites is the avocado and bacon ciabatta. Or the avo on toast if i am eating in. The outside seating area for the centre of town is really quiet and peaceful. A very nice space to sit in and enjoy the food.
