What User doesn't like about The Library Cafe:
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… View all feedback. What User likes about The Library Cafe:
Good food for the South Bank, that seems for some reason full of very moderate restaurants. Great for lunch when there are events in the area. Nachos and Honey Ginger Chicken Salat are outstanding decisions. Cold drip coffee also meets the place. View all feedback.

They open early! During the week and on weekends, so if you need that early morning coffee fix, they're about the only place in the precinct that's open. (Wait,...

Really delicious hot drinks at a great price compared to other places, staff are super friendly and the almond croissants are so delicious!
