Best brownie think I have ever had ate it so fast I couldn't snap a picture. 12/10. Chai tea latte was amazing and my husband said the coffee was excellent. Excellent atmosphere! Very relaxed and cozy :)

A nice local cafe however there is very limited seating inside the building.

Bruno Vinhas

The perfect little spot for s coffee. A treat and great service!

Neil Naik

Good cozy location with good coffee. They have this give and take book shelf which is a really neat idea. Not a fan of the size of the portions of coffee they serve though. The empanadas are incredible though. Best on the island.

Mary-Anne Stevens

Cappuccino was yummy. Cinnamon bun was delicious. Service was fine but not friendly.

Sweet little cafe in the heart of Georgestown. Serves good coffee, delicious sandwiches, and nice desserts. Try the veggie pâté sandwich -- my favourite.

Michael MacMullin

Best coffee in town!

Shrushti Shah

Went here for the first time with the idea of exploring a local cafe in St.john's and seems I was at the perfect place. People who love the smell of coffee more than its taste (like me!) do try 'shot in the dark'. What else a person needs in life when good coffee in one hand and good book in another?! Totally recommended :))

Samantha Kristoferson

Good coffee with nice place to sit and enjoy outside.

Kate Bisnaire

Great little cafe. Really cozy vibe and tasty food. They often have gluten free options and seem to make most of their baked goods in house.

Rick Bailey

Delicious coffee and food, people and service are lovely, and a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for a sunny Monday morning! And breakfast cake on weekends!

Linda Baribeau

Jimena Martinez

Best place in Georgetown for coffee, good books and magazines. Excellent food and a kids corner! And super nice people.

Nathaniel Jonathan Preston

This cafe is great for work or relaxing with friends. This is one of the hidden gems of this city.

Jamie Ross

Nanda is incredible. Patient with kids, kind and always has a smile on her face. Ordered a Flat White the other day that was simply outstanding. Very accommodating for kids with a little play space and lots of books.

Colin Tobin

Great food, friendly staff.

Brad Bastow

In the same vein as the Bagel Cafe, a very Georgetown style cafe with good food, good coffee and a reserved quiet experience. It’s a bit off the beaten tourist path but a lovely walk from downtown. In the time I was there there were several lovely people doing work on laptops. Apparently this is a popular place to telecommute from. Or perhaps work on that Doctoral Thesis. You get the Idea. Decent an relaxed. Good for getting away from the busy national chain coffee shops. Also good to support local. Odd that it’s closed in the evening. I would imagine this place would do well with live acoustic music and a larger dinner menu. It’s worth the trip.

Luis Ramirez

Really wonderful local environment feel to it, really nice coffee, although their food variety is somewhat limited.

Pete Martin

Great coffee, nice atmosphere.

Randy Chafe

Very comfortable space, friendly staff and most importantly, absolutely delicious fresh, home made food; especially the desserts!

Rachelle Ryan

Ivan Zendel

Lovely little cafe

Nicole Smed

Awesome staff, delicious food, relaxing lighting and stellar coffee. The process are so great this is one of my favourite places in St John's!

Ben Fisher

Delicious fresh, clean food. The wrap tasted so delicious and fresh. The empanada was deliciously filles and flakey. The mocha latte was well made and perfectly balanced between sweet and bitter. The lemonade was a bit sweet. The decor was modern and fun, unfortunately a bit too warm for me, (hot day and I'm not for it!) we would have loved to hang around. They also use recyclables and mostly paper which is awesome!

Bianca Felisbino

Cozy place, great coffee!

Susan Furneaux

Great coffee, excellent food. The go-to place for bagels and lox.

Cait C

Wonderful food, drinks and service!

Jason J Moody

Very cute little spot. Friendly spot, tasty things to eat. Most important, of course, good coffee.

Jennifer Barbour

Great coffee, bagel and service!

Sarah Jones

A few weeks ago I went to this place and ordered a sandwich, it was good but wouldn’t Order it again because of the price the cashier was friendly enough.

Barry Buckle

Perfect little coffee shop, has great light meals and treats too

Jolene

Georgestown Cafe and Bookshelf is a cute little cafe. It is small but intimate and the food is always good (I suggest their empanadas, expresso brownies, and Mocha Lattes). They use fresh ingredients and in my opinion they have some of the best hot drinks in the city. It is also very child friendly (they have a bookshelf and play area for kids). Overall this cafe is a great place to stop by.

Sarah Teo

Great coffee. Love the sit in area.

David Llewelyn

Really nice cafe perched above St. John's harbour. All baked goods made on the premises, and good espresso drinks. Eat in or outside, or takeout. Recommended!

Anne Graham

Richard Short

Trying to support local can be more expensive, but they make it worth your money at this local joint.

John Dolny

Local place with great coffee.

Glenn Hodges

I was visiting the area for a week and came here every morning for coffee. The folks working there were personable and friendly. This little cafe, for me, sets the standard for what a friendly neighborhood cafe should be.

jackie hesson

Delicious coffee and treats! Love this place!

Theresa Glynn

Excellent, delicious

Julie Mizzoni

Small portions and expensive. Negative energy vibe from staff. Forgot coffee, had to go up and ask. It should have arrived with food. We were 2 people and 1 person received food first and was almost finished when other arrived. Table was not clean. Had to ask for it to be cleaned. Was then cleaned with a very wet dirty rag. One party went to get napkins to clean up water on table and was scolded for using too many napkins. We are from Ontario and every person in Newfoundland has been wonderful and friendly. This place needs to capture the Newfoundland spirit. Will not recommend or return.

Jill Lowther

Staff was very friendly. Food and dessert options for a variety of preferences, including vegan and gluten free. Atmosphere is cozy, and even the patrons are exceptionally kind.
