Ordered myself a rump steak sandwich with creamy mushroom sauce. Didn’t disappoint me at all. Steak cooked medium rare which gives it nice texture, fries are lovely, nice and crispy. Located in a very nice building, high celling. Menu is very various. The staff was lovely and welcoming. Quick serving as well.
Visited on a Bank Holiday Monday lunch. This venue is like an oasis of life and charm in a desert of mediocrity. Derby City Centre was dead, providing little option for somewhere nice to eat and drink. Having been to the venue before it was an obvious choice to return. Had the Greek flatbread with halloumi and my companion had the beef sourdough French sandwich. Plenty of food served up to stir the appetite. Coffee was very nice and the addition of free water was helpful. Very busy and far and away the only venue in Derby centre that had any life whatsoever. Didn't have cake although there was a great selection.
I’ve visited The Book Café with my boyfriend twice now, and both times were exceptional! The food is reasonably priced, delicious and well presented. I can highly recommend the salt and pepper chicken! The café itself is clean and quirky. I love the ability to order online and receive my food quickly. If you’re out and about in Derby and need somewhere to eat, The Book Café isn’t one to miss!
Without any doubt, it was the best breakfast and coffee I've had in a long time. Really interesting decor, comfy and clean. Brilliant service and friendly staff. I couldn't find anything bad to say. Awesome, thank you so much! - Since I wrote this review, we been several more times and their food has never failed to impress us!Food: 5/5

Had a lovely experience here, such a charming and friendly independent coffee shop, cakes where delicious and mostly made on sight. Please support your local coffee shops and not the huge multi national ones. The staff where ever so helpful. Will be back.
Great atmosphere and food is lovely and well priced. Dog friendly and staff are great. Even when my dog is troublesome they are great.
Really nice lunch, very welcoming with great service. I had the French dip sandwich which tasted amazing.Food: 5/5
I went there for my first time today! Love the experience! The Afternoon Tea was very yummy and filling. We had a vegetarian afternoon tea for 3 people and a separate chicken wrap for the 4th person. The gentleman was made aware I was pregnant when I ordered coffee and he swapped my Brie and cranberry sandwich to extra cheese and chutney sandwich without me mentioning it. Very attentive friendly service! Liked the quirky interior and furnishing. Overall, very relaxed venue, great service and good quality tasty food. Definitely will return! 10/10 Vegetarian options: We had the vegetarian afternoon tea!
