The Book Cafe - Menu

Stopped for brunch service was great, food was hot and very tasty, did ask for one breakfast without mushrooms to avoid waste they did still end up on the plate but everything else was eaten!

Visited today for afternoon tea for a birthday treat. The sandwiches and cakes were lovely and plenty of hot tea. The staff made sure we were well looked after and met all of my friends dietary needs. Can't wait to visit again

We visited the restaurant for breakfast. I ordered the vegan breakfast, my son had the breakfast bap, and my daughter opted for the avocado on toast. The food arrived hot and the service was quick and friendly. I highly recommend the vegan breakfast, as it was delicious and filling. I ended up sharing some of my meal with my children because I had so much food.

After trekking through nearly all of Derby trying to find a lunch spot which wasn't boring, we finally found the Book Cafe and we're very glad we did! The menu is very interesting and both our food was really tasty one had pork belly loaded fries, and the other had the American pancakes with berry compote. Lovely decor and plenty of seating as it's quite a large cafe.

Great if you like absolutely zero service. There was no one here to welcome me, to see me to the table I had booked. There was an app to order which wanted loads of info so I went up to the bar. Loads of people standing around behind it. Then I had to wait for my drinks and take them to my table, they couldn’t even bring them out for me. More like McDonalds that a cafe.

Popped in today (Saturday) after my last experience with a couple of my friends who are vegan. I had seen some hype about your vegan food options. I jumped on the bandwagon and had one of the Indian spiced cauliflower wraps! What can I say? INCREDIBLE! Service was perfect, especially the warm welcome we received, food again was fast but delicious!! I’ll keep returning and writing these reviews if you keep up this outstanding work! The team all seemed in high spirits and the atmosphere was great amongst our neighbours. Good time had by all. Thank you again x

Extremely helpful staff who go above and beyond. I visited the cafe recently and unfortunately left a bag containing a couple of vinyl records I’d bought behind. As we live in Bolton NW England, I rang the cafe hoping they had found them. I spoke to a very helpful member of staff who confirmed they did indeed have them. He then offered to return them to the shop in Derby that I had bought them from. I arranged with the owner of BPM Records to post the albums back to me and they arrived safely within a few days! Excellent service and a very kind gesture from the cafe staff member. The food was top class too.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary with an afternoon tea at the Bank Managers Floor of the Book Cafe in Derby. We were extremely impressed with the staff, especially Annie who organized the event and ensured everything ran smoothly. The function rooms were beautifully decorated, spacious, and air-conditioned, which was a relief on a hot day. Our customized afternoon tea was a hit with our guests, who raved about the delicious food, especially the scones. The freshly made sandwiches, savory croquettes, and fantastic cakes were all highly praised. Our guests happily indulged in multiple servings, and we were able to bring home the leftover treats. We highly recom...

From the moment we walked in and effortlessly placed our order, the experience at The Book Cafe was off to a great start. The tables were pristine, and the warm welcome added to the inviting atmosphere. Opting for breakfast, I chose the small veggie breakfast without eggs. A considerate waitress offered an alternative to replace the egg, a thoughtful gesture that was truly appreciated. The drinks promptly arrived, and the pumpkin spiced latte I selected was an absolute delight. Meanwhile, my husband thoroughly enjoyed the generously portioned pancakes with a delectable berry compote. A lovely surprise occurred when I headed to the restroom, and a staff member went out of their way to complim...
