What is Cosi Bread?

I wasn’t sure either. A quick google search yielded this answer:

“a signature Italian-style flatbread known for being light, airy, and pillowy on the inside with a crusty, chewy exterior”.

Lunch at Eden

Vegetarian Avocado Sandwich

This sandwich has tomato, mizuna, house made pickles, and sesame hummus.

What is Mizuna?

Again, I had no idea! It’s a type of mustard green from Japan which is said to taste like a mix between arugula, mustard greens, and spinach.

Roasted Turkey Ciabatta

This sandwich features free range turkey, vermont cheddar, and cranberry aioli.

Pork Belly Sliders 🌟

Pork belly with pickles, Swiss cheese, mojo dressing, and dijon mustard on soft mini Hawaiian rolls.

These feel like a slider-twist on a cuban sandwich. 😌

Eden Cookies

The legendary Eden cookies with chocolate chunks and nuts.

Legend has it they only make a couple dozen of these bad boys each day, so if you’re keen, get there early when the chips first say “Ahoy!” 🍪🏴‍☠️

Gotta love a cookie quip.🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Inside Eden

I’ve always loved the Eden vibe, it’s very green and a great space to relax in, like a cafe you’d want to hang out in all day.

I mean look at these cool velvety chairs. Where else can you recline inside a literal flower?!

Botanical Chairs at Eden Cafe Review — Celebrity Apex — The design in here is just … 👩🏻‍🍳👌🏼💋

Eden Cafe is a casual, free dining venue on Celebrity Cruises. It’s counter service so just walk up and place your order!

Order at the counter Eden Cafe Review — Celebrity Apex

There are a variety of seating options to accommodate different group sizes and chair preferences.

You have these awkwardly low tables 😂. These are not my favorite for eating, but I think if you’re having a chat and a beverage they work just fine.

Seating Eden Cafe Review — Celebrity Apex

You can also have the same chairs with a normal height table for dining.

Inside Eden Cafe Review — Celebrity Apex

A privileged few will commandeer the plush couch zone.

Comfy Couch Eden Cafe Review — Celebrity Apex — Comfy Couch Club

Boho babes will run for these high back macrame-esque chairs and immediately try to figure out how they can do a DIY replication. 😂

Boho High Back Macrame Chairs Eden Cafe Review — Celebrity Apex — -> not the same chairs, but also cute.

And whoever they are cruising with will probably roll their eyes discreetly and claim the booth seats.

And last, but not least, are the low leather-ish chairs that are a more appropriate height for the low tables.

More seating at Eden Cafe Review — Celebrity Apex

You can see in the background there is a lot of natural light coming from that ramp. There are also some seats up there with great wake views!

What is a wake view?

So wake views don’t have anything to do with millennial culture and everything to do with panoramic views of the water trail left behind the ship as it sails you to your next Port of call.

It’s a super relaxing scene that most cruisers absolutely relish and Eden offers a nice spot to do so.

Outside Eden

For those who would like fresh air, there is outside seating by Eden Cafe!

These couches are great for a casual hang.

And these tables offer a perfect space to enjoy your Eden Cafe free breakfast or lunch, or even a game of cards, while enjoying the high seas.

So what do you think? Will you be trying Eden Cafe on your next Celebrity Cruise?
