JacquesJune 29, 2017Great cosy place to look at old books or sit back & read your own. Cafe has great options drink & eat. Heaters & boardgames to suit any gathering.
They have a lot of music scores including some rare finds (e.g. contemporary graphic scores)! If you are patient you can find a lot of gems for fraction of the RRP!

- The tapas menu is good value. We like the lamb kafta and the Lebanese bread with dips

Sheree JosephJune 24, 2012Courtyard. Chai tea. Grab a red blanket and cosy up! Also they have mulled wine after 6pm!
Darren WoolleyJune 27, 2015Somehow the coffee tastes better when surrounded by books. Lunch and breakfast are not bad either, especially in the courtyard out the back.
MimiNovember 11, 2015For second hand books, the price you pay for the quality of some books is just not worth it. The cafe courtyard looks amazing though.

"They have a huge range of books. The children's section is amazing also. They sell stationary and accessories as well. The prices pretty much match dymocks."

"Love the new food court. Lots of tasty options in a variety of cuisines that's a little step further than the usual fried fish and chips"
Ann L - 7.9
"Try the green smoothie bowl! 1st time ever trying something with the word 'green' in it. Absolutely delicious (tastes like mango)! Find the store amongst the other stalls, not in the food section."
