Bookstore and cafe in Westfield Hornsby overlooking open Plaza below. Interesting selection of books and empty album covers on shelves next to dining area. The avocado and feta on toasted linseed was very average. It could do with some seasoning or dressing.

The combination of a book shop and cafe is always what my heart desires. They also sell really interesting gifts, decos and toys. It is a great place to explore for a gift idea and an interesting read. The coffee roast is not my favourite, tho. They have a very bitter after taste. But from the presentation and milk temperature, it seems not caused by the barista's skill, but the machine or the beans. And the friand is a big disappointment. It was really hard and dry when they were supposed to be moise and soft. It looks more like a muffin but does not taste like a muffin either. Probably consider changing a supplier/baker? The recent visit has a counter staff member who seems not to be feeling well on the day and can not stop coughing. I felt sorry for her but also concerned. Will still visit often and hope to see some improvement. ^0^

At around 2:15pm, today (6 May) @ Hornsby store buying takeaway, had an extremely BAD experience with a sales wishing us GO TO HELL, clearly be heard by at least one of her co-workers. Manager was not around for us to lodge a complain :-(

Pretty nice bookshop, they do not price match though.
