What Mehul Sodhi doesn't like about Avid Reader Bookshop & Cafe:
I was in West End visiting my soon to be new home in close by Highgate Hill. It was a steamy hot day in Brisbane. As I walking past, I noted this place had air conditioning, so I decided to escape the heat and pop in. At the back of book shop, there is a delightful little cafe. At the friendly cook's suggestion, I ordered the cheese and veg pizza. When it arrived I was blown away. It looked amazing. And quite frankly... View all feedback. What Lorenza Bauch likes about Avid Reader Bookshop & Cafe:
If you're a book fiend and a coffee crack addict then Avid Reader is a must for you. Great atmosphere and brilliant coffee. Niceish outside dining area. Food is basic, but the coffee and the bookish atmosphere is the real draw card. The owner, Fiona, also appears passionate, drawing in the crowds through book club meets and readings. It has a great sense of inner city community. View all feedback.
