Le Testimony Organic Bistro

Easily one of the BEST places to eat in Redding. I have never had anything on their menu I didn’t LOVE and they are all around great people!

Best veggie omlette in Redding! London Fog so yummy! Service was over and beyond! Very clean inside and clean bathrooms. Great patio seating.

Wonderful place. Staff is very honoring! The food is delicious! I don't live in Redding right now but this place is always a beautiful memory! I love you James and family!

Absolutely a haven of rest for the weary soul. The pesto chicken crepe was out of this world! Heavenly!The coffee tasted and smelled like real coffee!

This mom & pop small business is so good! Not only is the food amazing, but the owners are so sweet and make you feel welcome right away.

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. Good size crepes. The Nutella / banana crepe is amazing. My wife had the tomato soup and chicken pesto crepe and said it was amazing. “Best tomato soup she’s ever had”

Wonderful hosts, everything is organic, food is outstanding. Cozy little place. Outdoor dining also. Will definitely come again

I was willing to give this place a second chance after my last, horrible experience, and I regret it. From the point that I parked and went in, everything went downhill from there. The entire location felt suffocating, from the subtly, overwhelming relgious decor, to the extremely fake and forced 'polite' demeanor of the staff that immediately set off both me and my friends fight or flight instincts. We still decided to stick around despite how uncanny everything felt. The waitress was 'polite', but her mannerisms made me uneasy, I felt like she just wanted us to leave, and truthfully, I just wanted to leave right after we were seated. We waited a long time for the food to arrive after waited an even longer time to place our order, and when it arrived, it was just 'okay'. Food was bland and barely unseasoned. LeanCuisine at Walmart has better consistency and flavor and even looks more appetizing. We were strongly pressured into leaving a larger tip than just 15% by our waitress, despite how inattentive she was. I felt eatched by the staff here, I noticed them looking at us and quickly looking away like we werent welcome here. Strangely none of the other diners seemed to get this treatment, and I wonder if it was because my friend had a black metal shirt on. Later after we left my friend texted me and told me she was throwing up and unable to keep down any water. I didn't get sick from the food, but I feel a little nauseous later in the evening and went to bed early.

I won't be giving them a third chance, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone else. I didn't feel comfortable or even welcomed sitting in that dining room, it was absolutely suffocating, and yet the environment was still, even better than the terrible 'food' they gave us. My friend did feel better by morning, but she shared in this same sentiment, and I know she won't be returning either. Also, I do feel the food was overpriced for what we got. The portions were too small to justify the high cost. I realize shrinkflation is going on everywhere. But this was just ridiculous.

Edit: I want to clarify that my experience at location was ages before posting my second edited review. It is possible for people to have a bad experience without posting the same day, and it is possible to have a bad experience without being 'fake'. It happens. People dislike things, and something that fits your taste may not fit another. We simply had a bad over all experience. Maybe down the road I will be back in to give it another chance, or I may try takeout instead. I apologize if I offended the owner or manager of the restaurant in the first review. I want to post an honest review regarding my experience, and if I got some details wrong, that's my bad. I was a little angry when I wrote the review because of our experience, and may have come off harsher than intended. I don't post negative reviews on the same day as a visit due to a previous bad experience with being identified and pestered by an employee at an establishment many years ago, and I use an alias online for the same reason.

This is our second trip and this place still delivers. Their soup is ON POINT. So so delicious. Had a savory crepe for this first time ever, cuz well, I always thought the should be sweet. Boy was I wrong! So happy this place is in our neck of the woods :)

What a wonderful place with really great and clean food and such kind people who care. These places are hard to find. So thankful we got to experience this, 10/10!
