Be careful with their omelette, I suspect the cheese in there makes it very salty and the menu does not say so! Very busy all the time somehow.

It’s a really a good place to get small chat or read book alone. <br/ <br/ The chat latte is ok here and aromas of the food is fantastic. <br/ <br/ Service is friendly and atmosphere is great. You can see a lot of senior people having brunch or coffee here. It might be a really old cafe with long history. <br/ <br/ I have introduced this cafe to many friends of me and they all say great.

But, today I tried the café out with my family. Oh what a pleasant surprise. The service was really good, coffee was great, which is a must for me. the booth was ideal. The menu is terrific I ordered the salmon cottage cheese avocado crepes with a salad. <br/ <br/ Tell you the truth this cafe certainly ticks all the boxes so yes I will be returning. I always come to dymocks and leave with a book. So now, I know a great place to eat. Well done dymocks.

Cue a hungry me, tired from running around all day and enticed by the big *sale* sign outside of Dymocks. What can I say, I'm a sucker for book and a suck for sales. As I stepped in, I can't help but be distracted by the smell of food wafting from ... somewhere. A quick look around reveals a cafe. I mean when I go to a bookstore I kind of expect a nice clean paper smell or some soothing scents, not the hunger inducing smells of meat and coffee. <br/ Pro: there's a cafe INSIDE the bookstore<br/ Con: there's a cafe INSIDE the bookstore.<br/ <br/ Onto the food! I ordered a strawberry milkshake and it arrived looking positively pastel pink and tasting delightfully synthetic. Like the strawberry part of a neopolitan ice-cream but as a smooth liquid. Absolutely fabulous, I'm getting major childhood vibes here. I suspect it's not too good re: sugar/chemical/fat stats but eh it's a cheap day. At $5.5, it certainly is better than a soda and only a dollar more. Considering I've seen soft drinks at Sydney Cafes go for over $7, I'd say this is a milkshake on the more budget-friendly spectrum and will totally shut your unruly child (or teen or S.O) up for a good amount of time.<br/ <br/ I *was* going to order the Duck Ragout because mmmm duck
