Description

Nestled in a charming setting, this café boasts a fantastic selection of food and drinks, complemented by a diverse range of art books. Many patrons have praised its cozy atmosphere and clean facilities, making it an inviting space for work or relaxation. However, recurring issues with service seem to overshadow the experience, as long wait times and indifferent staff attitudes have frustrated numerous visitors. While some enjoyed tasty offerings like the acclaimed lentil soup and appreciated the unique ambiance, the inconsistent service has led to disappointment and reluctance to recommend the café for future visits.

This little cafe very quickly became my favorite study spot. Not only is their coffee fantastic and affordable, the workers are friendly and keep the environment very nice. The books that they have cover vast genres and themes, and being tucked into a corner surrounded by good books is always a great motivation to get my work done and settle in with a story. As a person with ADHD, the vibe of a place can greatly change my ability to focus, and Iris Book Cafe has a vibe that is conductive to concentration, and it makes me determined to keep working. Check this place out, you will not regret it!

Popped in for a vegan bakery treat and walked out with 4 a muffin, a bar, a cookie, and a piece of pumpkin bread. I'm impressed

The food and drinks here are excellent! However, the service was lacking. It took quite a while for our order to arrive, and the staff was not very helpful.

The coffee and tea here are delicious, and they offer fantastic vegan options for lunch. The soups are truly delightful as well. Their vegan baked goods are exceptional. I highly recommend this place for a workday lunch or a coffee break!
