Name: The Book Kitchen
Suburb: Surry Hills
Style: Modern
Food Recommendation:
Florentine: They are organic/free range. I had a very standard meal of scrambled eggs and sourdough...not very brave, but tasty. It was fancy, but not so much that it felt untouchable.
Benedict: You could tell that this place prides its self on quality food and coffee, both or which I greatly enjoyed!
Atmosphere: Florentine: It was very modern and clean. It was cool, but I prefer my cafes a little cozier. It was a bit cold and impersonal for me. But there were lots of books which is a big positive. The books were about cooking...which I don't do so I wouldn't but them, but it is always nice to have them around. We sat at a communal table in the middle...it was nice.
Benedict: I agree, not my favorite. Normally I don't mind crowded because it makes a place feel cozy and desirable, but because the atmosphere was cold, it made sitting close to other people feel a bit awkward. But I loved the idea of books everywhere, although I would not have felt comfortable browsing the shelves or sitting down for a long time enjoying one.
Intelligence ratio: 19/22 (it has book in the title)
(Based on number of people wearing glasses, or having book or newspaper in their possession compared to the total population)
Attractiveness of people: Very Good
(low, average, good, very good, excellent)
Likelihood of picking up a date: Though the cafe was crowded with good looking people, it was not a very friendly or social environment. Chances of walking away with anything more than a full stomach and a book are pretty low. Although if it happens to be a cook book by Jamie Oliver, it would not be a fruitless effort ;)
Bounce rate: Florentine: I would go back...it holds a very special place in my heart...I made a very big decision while sitting at breakfast in this cafe...my life has not been the same, but I wouldn't frequent it either. Still looking for the favourite.
