Spice and Grind selected for Eden building coffee shop

Spice and Grind has been selected to run the ground floor coffee shop in the £36m 12-storey Eden building in Salford.

Planting features throughout the ground floor of Eden and the café’s furniture was carefully chosen on the basis of sustainable credentials.

FSC timber is also used throughout with the café area featuring a stunning countertop made from 85% recycled glass.

Opening to serve both Eden occupiers and the public, the café will act as a connecting point between those working in the building and the wider New Bailey community.

The founder and owner of Spice and Grind, Samantha Seddon, will be overseeing a menu of coffee along with an array of light bites including grazing boards, a variety of filled bagels, pastries and sweet treats.

Phil Marsden, managing director North West for Muse, said: “The café at Eden is a key social amenity that helps enable the building to become more than ‘just an office’. By opening its own dedicated door to the public and inviting them into the café, the broader local community can connect with both Eden and its occupiers.

“We knew Spice and Grind was the perfect partner for this facility at Eden – Samantha shares our passion for really getting to know and connecting with people and places in ways which support both wellness and sustainability.”

Seddon added “I am so excited! My business started out in a horsebox which, when I bought it to renovate, still had hay in it! To be moving from that, in New Bailey where Eden is situated, into a building I have watched grow before my eyes onto Salford’s skyline, is more than I could ever have dreamt of.

“Central to my brand, Spice and Grind, is relationships; getting to know the customers and building a community centred around premium coffee and a premium service. That is what those working in and around Eden can expect from me and I can’t wait to get started!”
