The employees were very rude, especially 2 of them. They acted like we were stupid and doing something wrong when we were just ordering ice cream. I was being upbeat and positive and trying to be as nice as I could and the response was just so weird. They were just rude. I don’t know if I have ever been treated that way by a server anywhere. We love the Gathering Place and the space there at the cafe is perfect for our large family getting together for a time there. I enjoyed my sweet treat and some of us got some coffee. But my daughter got a salad that was small, $11, and old and wilted and mushy. It had been made 3 days earlier and not refrigerated. That was a big problem!
Several of my family got ice cream and they said that it was really tasty. We will go back sometime because of the gathering place and the really great facility that the cafe is in. But sadly, the customer service there is not good.

Cute little cafe and area located in The Gathering Place. We wandered through and grabbed some breakfast. I got a breakfast sandwich, a friend got the jalapeño bagel bites, and my husband got a donut. They were all pretty decent and basic, nothing to write home about. The space itself is cute and the upstairs is really nice! It’s a good place to stop in for a break.

We visited the Redbud Café on a hot day, looking for a place to cool off with a toddler in tow. While we did enjoy the ice cream and pre-packaged cookies, the overall experience was very disappointing.
The customer service was comparable to walking into someone’s home uninvited — completely unwelcoming, with staff who seemed uninterested and indifferent to guests being there. It was uncomfortable and made us feel like a burden rather than customers.
The other food on the menu looked good and was priced as you’d expect for a café in a popular location. Unfortunately, the poor service overshadowed everything else.
The Gathering Place itself is incredible and worth every visit, but the Redbud Café needs serious attention — whether that’s better training or new employees altogether. Hopefully improvements are made, because right now, I wouldn’t recommend stopping in.

On a Sunday date after church with wifey. Loved all the local touches in the building. Could have easily fell asleep in the chairs.
Talked to one of the volunteers who gave is some background on the Gathering place and the best times to come. After about an hour we walked around the park looking at the different features and noting how the park is perfect for couples with young children.
Will have to visit again in the spring at night to see the light features and will check out a concert as well.

We went there on Saturday June 14th and had a small group of less than 15 people celebrating a 4-year-old’s birthday. We had intended on using the outside seating area but the tables are not covered and it began to rain hard. We came inside and no one else was in the dining area. We occupied only three tables, but the manager came and very rudely told us we had to leave, so we went back out into the rain. There were two workers outside squeegeeing water off the tables while it was still raining. We left and would never go back and spend a dime there. If it were my Cafe, I would put the manager back on the espresso machine and elevate another employee who didn’t have so much emotional baggage.
