Cool bookstore with small cosy seating among old books to catch up & read. Breakfast menu a little expensive but overall great place to read your book

Love this place. The muffins and coffee is good and also sitting down on the comfy chair being surrounded in old books . Buy a book or two here!

Kirsty D

The salads are tasty, packed full of varied healthy ingredients . ask for half and half , choosing two+ salads on the same plate

The LSD is a winner for anyone avoiding caffeine and dairy :) great atmosphere! Best cafe ' in my opinion Paddington side

The books are good. The food is pretty average. Not many healthy options here, and the service is average to go with the food. Perhaps I got some waiters on a bad day. Wouldn't go here for the food 😜

Order some six spice chai , relax in a corner, and get lost amongst an endless wall of books .
