Looking for the best French toast in Canberra? This is the best of the best. Generous amount of fruit and an unforgettable taste. Definitely my favorite spot!

The omelette, mango porridge and traditional breakfasts were scrumptious. A great place to enjoy laughs with friends and family on a cold winter’s day in Canberra.

Met up with a friend on a very cold afternoon. We sat on the sofas in front of the fire which gave a warm and friendly atmosphere. The service was top notch, very friendly and approachable. And the prices affordable. Enjoyed my time at Pulp Book Cafe

I love the concept of this place and the fact you can eat and drink there 7 days a week. There is ample we’ll set out outdoor seating which is great. So much potential here with a good food and drinks menu and I love the outdoor bar which unfortunately was not operating last Sunday. I must say though some of the staff are particularly unfriendly. Last week was my worst experience. Everything was off from staff to food. I nearly walked away from the ordering counter as I was being ignored. Someone finally took my order. Staff looked miserable and didn’t even respond or throw a smile when we thanked them when they brought out the food and cutlery and the food was bland. There was just no effort from service to food to drinks. Not even a slice of lemon in the Lemon, lime and bitters. It all just seemed slapped together. There was a strong underlying vibe in the place. Come on lift your game guys and throw us a smile or at least pretend you want to be there! I’ll give it another go and I’m truly hoping it was just a very off day!
