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
