The Coconut Room

Very nice place to chill and catch up with friends. The food is a little pricey for its serving but it’s great. Love the mini gallery area, and the Sunworks just downstairs.
I notice that they do dinner after hours, 3 course meals and such. Would have to try that someday!

I love this place! Honestly it’s so cute. I come here for lunch often (they have amazing three bean and tomato stew and their hummus/​veggie platter is good too). Wish they had more vegan options and they sometimes run out. Upstairs is the café and downstairs is the cutest shop with everything from paintings to candles to books to cards to small furniture! On Thursday nights the Coconut Room hosts a surprise themed dinner for $ 35 a person which I’ve heard is a fun date night!

Café, art gallery, craft store, book shop and more! So well chosen and executed it hurt a little.

Tried the Coconut Room for lunch yesterday with friends visiting from Edmonton. First time eating here and would definitely go back. Service was excellent, friendly and timely. Attentive but not overbearing. Décor is fun, cozy and relaxed. Wandered through the gallery and shop while waiting for our food. The food itself was very tasty. Lots of vegetarian options which is nice. I had the dahl — spicy and flavourful. Friends tried the Eggs Florentine and enjoyed the taste and creative presentation. The cheese scone was tasty and filling as was the quinoa salad. Coffees were nicely presented with foam art, only 2% milk so would suggest having skim on hand for those watching calories. we’ll be back.

I must preface this review with– I AM A FOODIE. If your food is no good, I will not give you my time for a review. So know, in summary, the food, at least that I had, was FANTASTIC!
So I was puttin around on foot looking for a place to eat when a friendly lady from inside sunworks/‘the coconut room’ invited us in to eat. I hadn’t noticed the sandwich board sign for the coconut room as much as I’d recognized ‘sunworks’. The coconut room is through sunworks, on their second floor.
We’ll start w/​the food–
I ordered the Coconut Chicken Curry– Flippin AMAzing. Seriously, no joke, one of the tastiest dishes I’ve had in Red Deer. Not what I was expecting at all from Red Deer of all places.
As a side, I had a large cheddar/​dill scone. Also delicious. The dill was a great touch to make it a little different.
They also had some sort of special imported french beer, that was comparable to a rickards white, with zesty citrus notes. It was wonderful.
They have the inside seating, along with, our choice, a few tables set up on a sundeck around the corner. Very nice touch for the sun lovers.
Our waitress was also super friendly, helpful, and personable. Pointing out her daughters chalk drawings on the sundeck :)
All round, a super great experience. I will certainly be back. These guys also have a facebook page you can check out & like–
