The bookcafe is a beautiful building with an equally beautiful interior. The breakfasts are really nice, I recommend the mushroom muffins.

Really great cafe for gluten free options. I’m not 100% sure where the name came from as there really wasn’t many books? But overall the atmosphere was quirky and cosy. I ordered the bhaji sandwich on the online ordering option. There was no option to make it gluten free apart from the notes section but the waitress was happy to swap it and it came out with a GF bun, the food itself was really tasty

OK, but as a veggie pretty disappointed - the buffet option showed a listing of what was on offer, but it was anyone’s guess to determine which dish was which. Ended up eating 4 types of potato as I didn’t want accidental meat on my plate. Wouldn’t recommend for food.

Gorgeous atmosphere, a really nice, warm cosy feel to the place. Can order from your table via app if you're someone who sometimes struggles talking to strangers. The beef wrap is stunning. Tender beef brisket wrapped up in a Yorkshire pudding with red cabbage and horseradish - Warning, very hot radish. Incredibly crispy yet fluffy garlic roast tatoes with homemade gravy are a delight. I was going to go to Cozy Club next door but I am so glad I came here instead!

I absolutely love this place, fave café in Derby. Such a lovely atmosphere and nice decor inside. It's a great, chilled place to work from in the week - I've been here a few times now with my laptop. I've also taken my toddler here, it's not accessible (steps) but there is a button you can press and staff come outside to help you to carry the pushchair. So helpful when you're alone with a little one! And of course lovely food and drinks 😍

It's dog friendly which is a big bonus and you can order from the table, which again is great because you don't have to take your dog to the counter or leave it on its own to order. I also asked for some dog treats in the "instructions" dialogue box and they sent 3 biscuits on a side plate.

I don't know what to say about this coffee shop, the atmosphere is really different in a very nice way، You order through a QR in the table, the website is kind easy and direct, but the payment, the site doesn't accept the Samsung pay, so you need to fill the card details which I really hated! The waitress that brought us our order spilt the latte, that was okay! But her leaving the mess just like that without asking, caring, or bringing extra tissue at least was so careless of her! I wanted to order the chocolate scone. A mistake happened. We ended up having the cheese one, which was so bad that I wouldn't recommend it, but after complaining, they made it for us by bringing us brownies, and that really saved the day! Thanks to the manager, I guess. She was super friendly and made sure we were satisfied. One final thing, the avocado with the eggs, was super delicious. I would really recommend it to anyone!

The wait time was pretty good , my meal was nice , my friend found a hair in her cream topped coffee.. her water glass was dirty . I thought there would be more books , since it's a book Cafe. Very average, wouldn't rush to return. Did like the outside seating though.

The staff were fantastic, the room is so lovely & we had so many guests compliment the place. If you’re looking for a party venue then do not hesitate to go with The Bookcafe. Couldn’t fault a thing & would 100% book again in the future! Thanks so much to all of the staff that put this together & worked on the night for us, you were all great :)

We booked an afternoon tea for two. When we arrived the table was set with China cups and saucers plates and a tea pot. The staff made us very comfy and the tea pot was soon filled and out came the afternoon tea. Well the sandwiches were excellent very very tasty. The scones were still being cooked and were bought out to us on a plate with butter jam and clotted cream and still warm. They were the best tasting scones I've ever had. The cakes we scrummy too. Staff were very attentive the atmosphere was lovely the building very nicely decorated and very clean. If you want somewhere for an afternoon tea this is the place to go. You will NOT be disappointed.

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.

We pop in often. They do great coffee here – thick and strong. Great place for people watching. Not eaten here yet but the cakes, pastries and sandwiches look good. Maybe some low carb alternatives would be good. Bacon and egg tarts, for example? Only marked down (selfishly) due to there being plenty of space for prams and pushchairs and therefore... Squawking small things – that can spoil the atmosphere. But this means there's plenty of space for wheelchairs and mobility scooters and there's level access through wide doors. And there's an accessible loo.
