Bookeater

This place has such a cozy vibe/space! I visited with my friend and ordered the Lox & Cheese and a drip coffee. Both were great! I also ordered their London Fog boba drink while we had a look at their books on the second level. It actually surprised me on how good their boba pearls were! The place upstairs was also very nicely set up. It was small, but there was still enough room to walk around without feeling “in the way”. The lady at the counter was very nice and patient as we placed our orders. I also loved how they had little puzzles you could do while enjoying your stay. We were missing a piece, but we completed what we could! I had a great experience and I would definitely love to visit again!!

Bookeater is my 26th cafe I am reviewing and I have no idea why I left it so late to visit. Super quirky cafe with local art on the walls to purchase. The upstairs is like the most chilled out library, lined with bookcases and comfy seating. Whether you are looking for a quiet corner to read, get some work done or want a chinwag with friends then this is the cafe for you. They have a wide variety of literature to get stuck into. Bookeater also sell books for $1! Now that’s too good of a bargain to bypass. If you are feeling competitive then you can play some video games too. We had the Medium Roast Sumatra Drip Coffee, Salted Caramel Latte and a slice of Orange Cake. The latte and cake were bursting with flavour and absolutely delicious. The Drip Coffee didn’t disappoint. Off street parking is available.

It is a cute little bookstore/cafe. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends but nice and quiet during the week. The coffee was good and the food was nicely seasoned, tasted fresh and was reasonably priced. Parking can be tricky because it is mostly close to street parking. I would come back again.

First time coming here today and I’ll definitely be back. I have tried matcha from nearly a dozen different cafes in Rochester and Bookeater has the best matcha latte out of all of them! Get with strawberry syrup, 10/10 Also, the layout of the place is so unique with private rooms and corners upstairs to get work done or sit with a book.
