Located within the former Grade II Listed Library building leading onto an attractive garden.Contemporary minimalist interior that succeeds in being attractive, welcoming and unpretentious.Albeit a limited menu (vegan options) the quality, price and the service, WAY surpassed expectations.The coffee exemplary.Also a nuanced range of gifts, cards and miscellanea.Happenstance on the periphery of London.Readily recommended.

Love this place. It is working hard to provide a quality community space with good quality food at affordable prices. Chef Luisa does a lovely full English breakfast.

The food is lovely and so is the atmosphere. It was shocking to hear that the place got temporarily closed because of the hygiene levels as when we entered it seemed clean. The service and staff were alright towards us. Some of the portions and prices didn't match up but the flavours are great.

Definitely the best brunch in Bexley. Great coffee and food. The sausages were five stars alone. And nice staff and a great building.

Today, we recently had a rather disappointing experience at the Bookstore Cafe in Erith, but we believe it may have been an anomaly. On the 21st of June 2023, our visit did not live up to the positive experiences that we have previously enjoyed at this cafe.Regrettably, it took an unusually long 35 minutes before our order was taken, even though the cafe was not particularly busy at the time. Initially, we had to approach the till ourselves to place our order, as it seemed the staff were preoccupied. After being instructed to wait for assistance at our table, an additional 10 minutes passed before someone finally came over to take our order.When our food eventually arrived, it was quite disappointing. The fried eggs had been overcooked, resulting in hard yolks that were far from the runny eggs that we expected. It was clear that the attention to detail in the cooking process was lacking. Additionally, the quiche we ordered seemed to have been reheated for far too long in a microwave, resulting in a somewhat rubbery texture that left much to be desired. We had to kindly send it back, hoping for a better replacement.In addition, we must note that on previous visits, the cafe had impressed us with their freshly baked bread onsite. However, on this particular occasion, the bread appeared to be supermarket bought sliced bread, which was a bit disappointing.While we acknowledge that this visit fell short of our expectations, it's important to recognise that it could have been an isolated incident. Given the positive experiences we had enjoyed at the Bookstore Cafe in the past, we believe this might have been an anomaly in terms of both service and food quality.We hope that by sharing this feedback, the cafe's management and staff can address any possible shortcomings and ensure a consistently enjoyable experience for their customers. Despite this less-than-ideal visit, we remain open to revisiting the Bookstore Cafe in the future, as we believe they have the potential to deliver the experience we have previously encountered.
