Great good and service! We'll definitely be back!

Great food with great atmosphere and service!!!

We had an awesome wedding shower at the Library Cafe for about 25 ppl. The food was very good, the service staff was always helpful and very nice (Jessica was our main server), the pricing was reasonable. The room size was just right, not too big nor too small. We liked that the party room was separate from the main part of the restaurant. It was not easy to find a nice venue for a small party and we are so happy we found the Library Cafe. Lastly, we must mention the cake - it was pretty and delightful.Mike - thank you for making it so easy to make the arrangements, including all the final details.Jessica - thank you for all your help and for being a pleasure to deal with.

I selected this restaurant for a girls night out based on the concept (who doesn’t love books and libraries?) and it’s cocktail selection which Ali’s crafted by famous literary titles. The concept is great, the service is too. The food is average. The negatives are the space: booth tables are cramped for a party of 4. Bar seating is limited so there’s always a crowd. If I come back, it’s for drinks and appetizers only. Otherwise good place to try at least once if you’re in the area.

Great atmosphere. Ambience perfect and good service.

I had my baby shower here today and it was incredible! The food and the service was great. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, they are all so nice. The pricing is very reasonable. This is the perfect place to host a small party. We had about about 30 people and although the room isn’t huge it didn’t feel cramped. Highly recommend!

I so badly wish I could give Library Cafe 5 stars because I rave to my friends and family about how delicious the Buddha Bowl is and how delightful the Huckleberry Fin cocktail is!However, I have to say I’m a little disappointed with the service the last time I came. My girlfriends and I came for my friends birthday on a Saturday at 3pm. It was crowded, so we asked to be added to the list for a table. 2 girls that worked there said “We put you in the system”, without taking our name or number. I thought that was strange so I asked, “Are you sure you don’t need our name or number to add us to the system?” And she said “no we got it you’re in the system don’t worry!” So we shrugged it off and went to the bar for a full hour and a half waiting politely to be called for our table. The restaurant started clearing out and we saw many tables available so we ended up asking not once, but two times to two different service if they had an update regarding our table. Finally, the last person we reached, a VERY kind and sweet female manager it seemed? Told us that she had no record of a group of 4 girls waiting in the system at all, so she immediately seated us- thank you.Food and drinks were great but my friends said they wouldn’t go back because of how we were forgotten about, which is a shame, because I really love Library and Post Office Cafe.The staff kept looking over a little embarrassed like they completely comprehended this error. Maybe they should have threw in something to make up for this service, but they didn’t. :/ My friend was a little dissatisfied with her birthday lunch, I’m let down myself because I’m the one who suggested this place :(.Instagram: @andiamoadventure

This place was awesome. Took my girlfriend here for Valentines Day last month and this is for sure a spot that will become a regular of ours. Great food helpful staff. Come down here for dinner with a loved one it is great!!

This place is just phenomenal!We had my baby’s first birthday here and I was surprised with the quality of the food and the service.Annie was absolutely amazing and made sure that we had everything we needed and more.I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, and I hope you get to be served by the incredible Annie!Thanks again for the amazing service.

The BEST experience, kindest waitress- Thai wings and mini Rubin sandwiches were to die for! :) amazing music (Kygo)… great environment. We will definitely be back.
