My husband and I were in St Pete for the weekend and we found this spot for breakfast. So glad we did! The food was delicious, everything cooked to perfection, seasoned well and delicious. I had the Maple Snickerdoodle Pancakes, my husband had the Library Classic. I started with a brewed coffee and it was very very good. I love some cream with it and it was smooth and delicious. The pancakes were a stack of 4 large, which could have served 2 people. They were fluffy and had a hint of cinnamon. Topped with cinnamon streusel, sweet cream, strawberry compote and syrup on the side. My husband had scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and a grilled biscuit. I gave him a hard time for ordering nothing fancy, but dang! That was a great breakfast!! The eggs were cooked perfectly, not overly firm but still a little fluffy without being slimy. And seasoned well. The bacon was perfectly crisp, not too thick and not too thin. Potatoes were nice and crispy and the biscuit was sliced and then grilled so you had a crispy crust and fluffy middle. The service was top notch. We had Shade and he was absolutely wonderful. So much fun and very attentive. The entire staff was friendly and took great care of us. I am an avid reader and I adore books, so the library vibe had me the moment we walked in the door with all the rows and rows of wooden shelves of books. Very clean and well taken care of. So cute to eat among the books, even our bill came inside a book! We look forward to our next visit when we are in town, maybe sooner than later.
Me and my boyfriend ate here in January. We did the prefix lunch menu which had a good variety of choices. We got the chicken sandwich which would have been better but they BARELY put any of the aioli sauce on it. Our waitress took long to come around to check in on us, and overall she just seemed uninterested in being there. Also the warm cookies and milk was definitely microwaved… they came out steaming but was hard as a rock and was cold within a minute. So that was really upsetting. However the soup was DELICIOUS, I really enjoyed it. The place is also cool looking. Im giving this 4 stars because of the atmosphere and the soup. I would try this place again.
Really enjoyed my experience here! Their burrata is a must try appetizer and isn’t your standard but is fantastic. Had to try their pancakes which were fantastic as is their french toast. Great breakfast/brunch spot with good offerings but do expect to pay. Will be back!
We visited The Library for lunch on 12/30, drawn in by its presentation and inspiration from the George Peabody Library, but unfortunately, it felt like a bit of a catfish. The interior is still cute but far more open and spacious than the intimate vibe the imagery suggested. Despite having a reservation and arriving on time, we waited 5–10 minutes to be seated, as it seemed like they were running on a skeleton crew. Our server was kind and clearly doing his best and while he managed the workload admirably, we didn’t see much of him, and there was little explanation or recommendation of dishes. As for the food: Chai Latte: Tasted more like milk than chai. Roasted Yellow Tomato Soup: Surprisingly spicy and probably the best part of the meal. Warm Burrata: Disappointing. The arugula pesto was strong but lost in the cheese, and the tomato confit lacked sweetness and depth. BLT: Nothing special. The bread felt like sandwich bread, and the over-well egg tasted rubbery. Red Gem Caesar with Salmon: The salmon portion was small and didn’t taste fresh. The confit tomatoes lacked flavor, and while the cured egg yolk was a nice touch, the dish was underwhelming overall. Truffle Fries: Not worth it. We ordered them not knowing the BLT already came with fries (a miscommunication from our server). They lacked truffle flavor, tasting more like lightly seasoned fries. Overall, the experience fell far below expectations, given the imagery, menu descriptions, and price point. While the service staff did their best under the circumstances, the food and overall ambiance were a letdown.
I've eaten here twice the first time I had a delicious filet and the second time I had the breakfast burrito and the Turkey Club. Both meals were fantastic. The staff were amazing especially Amber who is not only a great barista, but is also cute as a button. Glory was also great when I first came in to order. The entire staff makes you feel welcoming and relaxed. Every time I go I end up during their rush. 😂 Just my luck I guess. Will be back.
