Reviews
Food is delicious and visually beautiful .
However I think they can do better with service . There are quite a few vacant tables but we have to wait a bit before we got seated . I have seen later some customers waited but did not get acknowledge so they walked away .
When our food was served , we tried to ask for extra cutlery but after trying to get attention from waiter and get no luck , my friend walked over to the counter and asked for it . Then someone brought it to us after . May be it was a busy period for them and lack of staff , otherwise good location and atmosphere is good .
A really cosy place to have some coffee and lunch surrounded by books and an unmatched vibe! Salmon salad is amazing there. The staff is friendly and quick to take orders and get you seated. The place itself is unique for the reason that it is located in a bookstore where you can grab a book and read while having a drink. I've visited this place a few times before and definitely will be coming back!
Dymocks cafe is THE place to be if you want great service, wholesome delicious food and exceptional coffee. Surrounded by books, you feel instantly relaxed so you can focus on what's important. I had the Shakshouka with meatballs, let me tell you it is absolutely incredible! Can't wait to come back, will make this a regular spot for my free time. Thank you!
We liked the food and service here. It was pretty fast and friendly. Lots of different dishes to try. Portions are small compared to the price. The tables are too close to each other, but we still enjoyed having lunch there.
As a regular customer, I can't praise this restaurant enough! I’m always delighted by the exquisite flavors of their borsch, beef stroganoff, cabbage rolls, honey cake, and ricotta cake (syrniki) consistently exceed expectations. The service was both fast and diligent, creating a wonderful dining experience, and the cozy atmosphere makes it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended!
This is a magical and unique space in the city. It's a place where you can dream, relax and have some nourishing food. I had a wonderful coffee and the salmon croissant. The staff was so friendly and helpful! This place is a gem! 10/10
The cafe was very busy, but we were seated quickly and given a menu.
