👍 Haven't heard of this concept in Noida, though Delhi has a few. Loved the vibe of the place, the decor was very well done. Just had coffee and a sandwich. The coffee though good wasn't the best, sandwich was good. The staff was pretty quick and offered good service. People often mention good, books, cafe, book, coffee, staff, drinks, Cafe, ambience, quality,

    Loved the cafe. I have visited Reader’s cafe before as well of Ghaziabad. I really admire their concept. Also they have good collection of books. Their coffees are too warm and soothes your soul. They have varieties of bread to taste. Loved their Lasagna. It’s a must eat meal, if you are really hungry. Also do have their lemonade, it’s so goooood. Also, you can have your good pictures clicked. Plus the staffs are really polite and really good. And you can have coffee and cozy up to a good book.

    Recommended only if you like the taste of Live COCKROACHES in your food and drinks. So I visited Reader's Cafe on 30th July, 23, along with a friend. To my surprise the cafe is only Reader's friendly only in the namesake. The worst was when I was there mineral water bottles were kept on book shelves and along with books. This wasn't the worst, it's yet to come. So we ordered food pics attached. One of my friend is a vegetarian. When our drinks came she took the sip from her coffee, there was a live cockroach in the drink. Which went into the mouth via the straw. When I called the serving staff he was least cooperative, empathetic or apologetic. He went back to the counter and told the rest of the staff and they all started laughing. It was so demeaning. Then had to call the manager who was only called in after repeatedly asking for him. To our unpleasant experience he came in and wasn't of much help either. So this is the worst cafe in Noida. Zero hygiene in fact the health department should shut this place down. Only recommended if you like the taste of live bugs in your food and drinks and worst serving staff. Couldn't believe this is happening in a place like Noida. Utter disgrace and disappointment to all cafes there.

    I loved the ambience, the hospitality and the food. I was looking for some place to spend some time alone and this is the best place I have found. They have good collection of books, you can enjoy food and also read books while having your fav food.

    The food ,service and ambience is all good. If you would like to spend some time reading books, sipping coffee or other non alcoholic beverages, this should be in your list. I would recommend this place for people who love solitude or want some alone time for work or feed food for your mind.

    I have been planning to visit there for a long time, but this time I went there without a plan and i was surprised by the ambience. They have a lot of books, good interiors, good music and good food. You can bring your laptop there and you can work from there. Price is on the slightly higher side but you'll love the quality.

    These places is a gem. Never had such mouthwatering food. Everything we ordered was full of flavours. Whether it be arrabiata pasta or pizza or drinks or sandwiches or peri peri fries. Everything was affordable and delicious. Irish coffee was very tasty. We had a lot of food and Everything was in budget. The plus point is you're getting free books to read. They have a nice collection of books. The staff was very supportive and calm minded. Definitely going to visit this place again and again.

    Food quality was worst. Giving 2 star because of their decoration and for food it's zero. Overrated prices according to quality. I ordered country delight pizza and Normal cold coffee and both were worst. I finished 1 slice roughly. We need to throw the food. I am a very foodie person and I believe not to throw the food. My bill was around 1000 for a pizza and cold coffee. It was a waste of food and money both. If you are visiting near noida sector 18 so try some local food available here rather than visiting here, you can have good food in less money. Prices are very much high. According to the price they are not giving food quality. They have decorated the cafe very beautifully through books but need to focus on food quality. Attaching few pictures for the reference. Never recommend to visit here.

    One of the most underrated place to go for a good brunch or evening snacks. Well I was indeed surprised by the presentation of the items that were on the table as well the taste was perfect. It was definitely a place I would like to come back and have some food. Coffee was perfect and to be specific hazelnut cold coffee is just as perfect as one of the best I had from long time. Burgers were perfect and the presentation of it was something special to watch out. Pasta was also creamy and perfectly blended. The cafe is also moderate in prices according to the taste and presentation. Ambience is just ok, not too much fancy.

    Today we were in atta market so decided to check out this cafe. The ambience and interior is so good. Today it was raining so it looked even more beautiful. If you are a book lover you will surely love this place. Best part is service staff is polite and food is served timely. We ordered veg grilled sandwich, chicken burger and coffee. Portion sizes are very good.

    With a cute & quirky interior, this cozy place is a good spot to chill or for work gathering too! Known for its massive library and European-cuisine, this cafe is one of the best book cafes in Delhi NCR. You can’t only read there but also buy your favourite book. From reading to stuffing your face with deliciousness to attending interesting events such as book launches, live screening, book swapping, etc. and more, there's nothing nerdy you can't do here. Quite affordable as compared to other cafés with this quality; so thumbs up for that <3 Pick your favourite read, choose from the palatable range of drinks and dishes like Lasagna, Grilled Fish, Watermelon Cooler and so on; special mention for the vibrant plating it really suited our eyes & tastebuds as well !! All in all this amazing book cafe soothes your mind as well as senses.

    Food quality has changed a lot. Taste and quality is not what used to be earlier. New chefs and new locations are not the right solution... Not recommended.

    Good place, currently being renovated. It is at 3rd floor. The staff is courteous and very helpful. The food is pretty good! Shakes were thick. We tried blueberry smoothy and peanut butter shake. Quesadilla was a bit average though veg feast pizza, falafel wrap was very good.

    The Reader's Cafe is an amazing place for its environment, food & books obviously. I went that place in my fiance's birthday night out. After reaching there I was too much impressed by the stuff because all of them are so good & humble. Never dissatisfied by that.

    It was such a cute and cosy place to be. Nice hangout spot for friends in sector 18 in noida. They have lots of books that you can buy. And the food was amazing and delicious and it was 10/10. Loved the vibe of this place and the ambience.

    It's a good, cozy place to chill (especially for readers), menu is versatile and food/beverages taste good. The whole vibe is lit and the food is cost effective 💛 One can carry their own book/journal and also we have the option to buy books from the cafe itself. I personally explored the political section and could find useful/interesting reads. PS. Not sure about the wifi here.

    I recently visited Book Cafe and was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, with shelves full of books lining the walls. The staff was friendly and attentive, always ready to help me find a book or recommend a drink from their menu. Speaking of which, their drinks are delicious! I tried their signature latte, and it was one of the best I've had in a while. They also and are attentive, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our experience. The menu had a great selection of hot and cold beverages, ranging from classic coffee drinks to unique teas and smoothies. The food options were equally impressive, with tasty pastries and sandwiches that were perfect for a quick bite. What impressed me the most was the attention to detail and the thoughtful touches throughout the cafe, such as the bookshelves filled with local authors and the cozy reading nooks. Overall, I highly recommend Book Cafe for anyone in search of a cozy spot to read, work, or catch up with friends. The combination of great food, excellent coffee, and relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for book lovers and cafe enthusiasts alike. Five stars!

    A Charming Ambience and Extensive Book Collection, but Room for Improvement I recently had the opportunity to visit Readers Cafe, located in Sector 18, Noida and Let me begin by applauding the delightful ambience of Readers Cafe. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior design is aesthetically pleasing, with comfortable seating arrangements that create a cozy and relaxing environment. The soft background music added to the overall ambiance, making it a perfect place to unwind and immerse oneself in the world of books. Speaking of books, Readers Cafe boasts an impressive collection that any bibliophile would appreciate. The shelves are lined with a wide range of genres, from classics to contemporary literature, ensuring that there is something for everyone. The books are neatly organized, making it easy to browse and discover new literary gems. It was a joy to explore the selection and indulge in the pleasure of finding a hidden literary treasure. However, despite the wonderful ambience and extensive book collection, there are areas where Readers Cafe could improve. The quality of their food and drinks fell short of my expectations. While the menu offered a decent variety, the execution and presentation of the dishes were not on par with the overall experience. The taste and flavor of the food left something to be desired, and the drinks lacked the finesse I had hoped for. Enhancing the culinary offerings would undoubtedly elevate the overall dining experience. Additionally, I noticed that the training of the servers could benefit from improvement. While the staff was polite and accommodating, their knowledge about the menu and recommendations was limited. It would be great to see the servers receive more comprehensive training to enhance their understanding of the food and drink offerings. This would enable them to provide more informed and personalized service to the guests, further enhancing the overall customer experience. In conclusion, Readers Cafe is an enchanting place with a charming ambience and an extensive collection of books. It provides a haven for book lovers seeking a cozy and relaxing environment. However, improvements are needed in the food and drinks department, as well as the training of the servers. By addressing these areas, Readers Cafe has the potential to become an exceptional destination for both literary enthusiasts and food lovers alike.

    Place is not clean, Washroom is smelly, yucky, not clean, they don’t even offer wifi and PLEASE STOP CALLING IT READERS CAFE, ITS JUST LIKE ANOTHER CAFE/RESTAURANT with not even good ambience, tables, food and even songs are just just average. I had read such good things about this cafe that I thought it could be my next go to place, to be honest Starbucks and blue Tokai have a thousand times better ambience than this. 1. Cleanliness I had to clean everything wherever I was placing my things. The chair and table had so many chilli flakes and oregano and it’s amazing, the waiter welcame me with menu, without even considering to offer me a clean table first. 2. Facilities available and worth wrt food and services- I had to plug my laptop for charging and they have just 3 charging point on entire floor, plus when I asked about wifi, first, he said we don’t have wifi and when I showed him they had, he said customers are not allowed access of it. I was like how cheaper you could get? Because their menu has everything above ₹250, with every page of their menu reminding you that they levy service charge, so that later you can’t say that you weren’t told about service charge. 3. Ambience- First, tables and chairs weren’t even clean. I mean none, none of them were clean. Second, washroom was smelly and yucky, I got severe headache just by going in their washroom. Needless to say it wasn’t clean at all and commode was broken. Third, They play songs on loud volume, the only difference in songs with other cafés is that they don’t even play good songs. I don’t know who reads with lousy bad taste songs on high volume. To keep up with the name, they just offer few books which are not good even. 4. Food- Not good, below average, bad bad bad!! I hope atleast one things would have been good here. I ordered watermelon mojito and I looked through their entire menu, nothing interested me. Plus with whatever I had experienced till the time I could order any food, I had gotten much more skeptical of the place. The mojito was just plain some inedible colors mixed in soda water and ice and few mint leaves were shoved inside the glass, all in all it was just horrible. If I had to say one good thing about the cafe, I had thought very hard on it, I think it’s name.
