The Book Cafe

Opened in June 2000 by Thomas Wong and Shirley Soh, this chill cafe is a great space to read and reflect.

Their rendition is topped with fluffy soft marshmallows, while the drinking chocolate has a milky thin texture rather like the Australian style, and chocolatey milky sweet flavour.

The frothy foam head is the largest yet.

Since June 2000, this quiet cafe has been delighting those in the know - serving as an "alternate living room", suitable for reading, meetings, gaming, grazing, or catching up with family or friends.

As many have claimed; there is a lot to like about this place. Ambience is cozy, classy, and comfortable. Service is friendly, professional, and caring. Food is well-executed, delicious, and reasonably priced.

Here, 3 free-range eggs were folded with my choice of ham and tomato. The egg omelette is fluffy and tender and juicy, with pleasant eggy savoury salty sweet flavour.
.
Served with crisp toasted buttered white bread with smoky bready buttery savoury sweet flavour, and juicy grilled cherry tomatoes which are nicely smoky vegetal sweet in taste.
.
Loved the crisp potato rosti, which held starchy salty savoury sweet flavour, yum.

Battered Tilapia Fish and Chips with a strawberry banana smoothie. The fish was fresh and the fries were tasty though I felt that the crust of the fish could have been softer. Service was great and ambiance is excellent as always

Excellent ambience for reading or working on something. Order their flat white, it was simple and good cuppa. Personally, find it to be on the nutty side, mellow, not too bitter or acidic.

A tad too salty for my liking but the rice cake was a welcome touch.

This is one of their weekend specials, the Emmental. It's supposed to have emmental cheese, but honestly I didn't taste any? 😅 The omelette is stuffed with a piece of lean bacon, and comes with two slices of toast (I chose multi grain). Its served with a salad of pico de gallo, sour cream and smashed avocado.

I love the omelette. Super fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The egg is just set inside but still slightly oozy. So simply done but well-executed. And the flavors of the slightly spicy pico de gallo with the tanginess of the sour cream. They make excellent coffee and juices too.

The ambience is really chill, with choice of either sitting on the squishy sofa or table and there's excellent wifi. It's just fuss-free food with good coffee. Just not sure if the food is worth the price ($19.95 for this plate), but my dining partner seems to really like this place, so I always end up coming here to enjoy a lazy afternoon.
