The food isn 't bad, just wickedly overpriced for pretty ordinary fare. An $18 Greek breakfast was a plate of sourdough toast, with two tiny poached eggs, 2 tablespoons of avocado, one slice of haloumi (which was overdone on one side, barely cooked on the other, and nearly cold) and some very limp rocket. Take the toast away and it looks very sparse, something that would cost no more than $14 at a suburban cafe, and there you 'd get free range eggs and some homemade relish, too. It 's over $10 for a slice of cake. My companion was served burnt fruit toast. Service is slow. But it 's generally laptop friendly. The coffee tastes like coffee. The biggest problem with The Library Cafe is they ha...
They make an incredible soy latte. But for my second drink, I requested for a low fat hot chocolate. I stood right beside the machine and saw the barista pour low fat milk into the milk foaming cup but because there wasn’t enough low fat left and the carton was empty, I was so surprised he didn’t open another low fat milk.. just topped it up with regular milk! That was horrible…
The food at this restaurant is a real gem for the South Bank, which is surprisingly populated with only average dining options. It's an excellent choice for lunch, especially when there are events happening nearby. I highly recommend the nachos and the Honey Ginger Chicken Salad—they're both exceptional choices. The cold drip coffee is also a great match for the meal.
Such a good location but the manager was super rude about bringing in food. He could have told us calmly and put signs outside saying do not sit here and eat your own food but chose to yell at us? He yelled at us in front of other families with kids nearby. Don't want to elaborate cause it was slightly traumatising. Won't support this cafe and manager.

Pricey, slow, and not that great. Menu is ok but overpriced for what is otherwise pretty standard food. Better ask for your coffee extra hot, it's lukewarm by the time it makes it to the table.
I had a wonderful time at this café! I enjoyed a lovely coffee and cake, followed by a delicious lunch. I even explored their gift section and treated myself to a little something special.
The hot drinks here are absolutely delicious and offered at a fantastic price compared to other places. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the almond croissants are truly delightful!
Nice location, outside area lovely. Food was nice, Chips were a bit dry. Only real let down was some of the staff...not overly friendly and a little rude to be honest. wouldn't return.

Hm.. I think they can do much better with their food. Had the lasagna and pesto salad. Both werent really good. The coffee is a different story though.
The staff was friendly and the roasted banana bread was a good smell and very tasty
