The Reading Room

Very nice small and cosy cafe with a good selection of food and drinks

It was nice to come here but it took quite some time to get my food. but it was fine. thank you.

It was a quiet day for a quick bite. Everything went well. Thank you.

Nice, cosy & ambience, very friendly waitress too. Tq!!! :)

Nice place for a quiet lunch on a weekday. Food is average and prices have been increasing which makes it increasingly less attractive to dine there. Place is kind of cramped. Not ideal for big groups or kids.

Cosy cafe to chill and read. Food was good too!

Excellent freshly cookled food, it was very enjoyable. Would recommend for lunch or casual dinner in a small group.

It was a quiet afternoon. But the service was good. Thank you and I will come again.

Most of the waiters were new faces. Don’t know why. But the service was same good. Thank you. The cake looked dry and food was served a bit slow. But it was acceptable.

Small place. Meals seemed very homely. This could be considered cosy, but we struggled for space with 3 people to our table. Place was empty but not many other options for seating?

cosy little cafe tucked in a quiet outram street. waited about 30 minutes for our food on Sunday around 11am so I guess kitchen wasn't fully ready yet? the food was great and portion was big and value for money! will definitely go back again!

The service was great. The waiters were very attentive and professional.

after a few times to try a few different cakes, i think i can conclude that most of them are not fresh. we did not even eat the blueberry top layer. maybe its driness made the cheesecake remain its texture. :p

Had the fish and chips, didn't taste great and the skin was really tough to cut through. The bruschetta was decent, drinks were fine. Table outside was nice enough except for the pounding music from an establishment across the street, and inside the layout was rather cramped and dark, particularly with the table arrangements, so having a conversation with someone is a challenge. Overall would go again on my own if i needed to do some work on the laptop (but not if I need to read printed material) and wanted to get a drink while doing so, maybe not otherwise.

that was a surprise that there were no other customers in the restaurant at 530pm. It was good for a short meeting. but the double choco cake was too dry, and i could not taste it like a 'double'.

it was not bad for my first visit. but they made a mistake in my order. anyway, not a big deal.

The setting is interesting but the lights are dim and music too loud for any serious reading. The coffee is diluted :( We also had French toast, banana pancakes and some mushroom pasta and they all tasted average only. The portobello fries was the best and recommended item of our meal.

Nice ambience and coffee for the soul. Will be back again soon!

nice place to chill with friends or working and reading alone

The restaurant was closed. Thanks for ruining the Sunday Q.

Food are good. Cafe is packed but luckily I made reservation via Quandoo

It is a nice place with a very different set up. It is not a regular dine-in kind of a restaurant. But it is a nice place for a couple of drinks and a good quiet chat or read.

Great atmosphere, has great coffee. Would definitely recommend to go

Delicious food paired with amazing coffee in a comfortable environment.

Went for brunch this time. Had the worst food in my life. Such a nice cafe but the food is horrible. Grilled pork doesn’t taste like meat, worst tomato sauce they using ! Veg tasted weird, I’m speechless

The ambience, place and vibes are fantastic! Drinks great too. Food wise pricier than expected. Definitely will be back for the ambience and vibes of the place

Overall nice ambience, interior a bit dark even in the day. Place is popular with foreigners too, probably due to the exposure of CRA, which was filmed opposite the cafe. Food wise their brunch menu was not bad. Had The Basics and Norwegian Royale. Presentation looked good and tasted delicious.

Lovely nice cafe with many books. Love the design of the cafe.

It’s a relaxed Sunday that I decided to visit this cafe. Nice and quiet, good place to relax and enjoy reading a book without any loud noises.

Really good environment. Food are definitely amazing. Relaxing environment which is suitable for hanging out with friends at night. Lots of books. Decorations are expressive!

A quiet quaint cafe located in the charming Bukit Pasoh, next to Pinnacle@Duxton. Would recommend the Himalayan salt latte, which is rarely found in other cafes. Portobello mushroom eggs benedict and pancakes with fruits and ice cream are both above average.

Good coffee, but I'm not a fan of their choice of music. It had a reasonable crowd on Sunday late afternoon but not too noisy.

Nice and cozy ambience - good for long catch-ups. Ordered the 3 course set which was value for money.. crab croquette and calamari were nice but fish and chips was average.

Location was quite central and is walking distance to the mrt. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Great variety of books to read from and it’s good that the chairs are comfortable!

Food is average. Environment average. Serving is rather slow. Should have a more attractive windows of food to attract more visitors. But is a cozy place

Had a great lunch in this cozy cafe, which surrounds you in books. Ordered their lobster pasta and "the works". which was great comfort food on a lazy Sunday. Note you will be seated in close proximity with the tables next to you so privacy is minimal. Service is pleasant. Just a pity didn't have their mains on offer when I was there.

Great place for a peaceful afternoon, the book collection is amazing. Must visit if you are an avid reader, you will keep coming back! Good food, though it could have been slightly better. - we ordered the salmon egg dish, mozarella tomato sandwich. My friends ordered different items previously and they had enjoyed their meal a lot. This time our order was`nt great.

nice environment bt food wasnt that good as i heard from my friend, the chicken grill i ordered is uncooked bt the fries (fried with mushroom) is nice

coffee is so so but it's a nice quite place to do some reading

The service was good and the service staff were friendly and were able to tell us more about the items on the menu so that we knew what we were ordering. Food was also good!
