Definitely coming back again! I had such a great time here. If you're looking for a cozy café to read, work, or just relax for a few hours, I highly recommend this place. The food was really good! It's a little on the pricey side, but the quality and overall experience make it worth it. The atmosphere is quiet, comfortable, and perfect if you want to escape the busy city for a while. I also love that they have different seating options. There are tables for solo visitors, comfy sofas for groups, and plenty of space to settle in without feeling rushed. They even have power outlets, so it's easy to work or study for hours. The restroom is clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Of course, the best part is the books. There was a nice variety to browse, and it really adds to the cozy vibe of the café. Whether you're a book lover or just looking for a peaceful place to spend your afternoon, this place is definitely worth a visit. Can't wait to come back!

my boyfriend and i dropped by the book cafe for a light dinner as we were in the area (it’s around a 13 minute walk from great world mrt). upon entering, we were greeted by the friendly staff and were allowed to choose any seat we wanted! there was a range of seating types from comfy couches 🛋️ to higher chairs :) there were also shelves of books and magazines for customers to browse through; this was paired with the high ceilings and warm lighting, which made for an extremely cosy environment! food-wise, the truffle fries had a surprising and agreeable crispiness, but this was dimmed by the truffle scent and taste that was not really present. the aglio olio, however, was well-seasoned and rich, without being overwhelmingly oily or spicy, 🍝 so that was a highlight ^^ the tiramisu latte was advertised on their chalkboard so we gave it a shot, and we found it really decadent yet well-balanced. the ladyfinger was a fun addition (do take note that overall, the flavour of the drink is rather alcohol-forward) service was a little slow as there were only two staff working at the front, but we could see they were definitely trying their best! 🙇🏻‍♀️ this is all to say we had a wonderful experience, and i’d definitely return here someday to study or grab a meal, and make sure to make the most of my time by snagging a book to read too~

Food taste and presentation is above average in Sg’s standards. The sauce for beeg bowl could be improved as it tastes slightly bland. The good thing is they served fruity ice water without additional charge. Their service is friendly and allows reservation online. There are 2 restrooms to be shared amongst patrons tho the restroom situation could be improved.

A brilliant find. In Singapore for a conference and I needed good food (has a salmon soup which was delicious) and a lovely environment where I could read my novel and relax over dinner. Loved the place - books and magazines everywhere (including a book exchange), people having real conversations, others reading. This place is a treasure. Coffee was good too.
