Just outside the botanical gardens inside the McClay Library building.

I stopped there for a coffee, which was a bit too sour for my taste. The music was loud, so difficult to hear each other if you meet someone for a conversation. No car park.

The staff are lovely and the food is great albeit a bit expensive. A lovely cosy atmosphere though, very cheerful vibes esp from the friendly staff

Friendly customer service and great breakfast. Service was pretty efficient too.

Lovely cafe with very nice staff but the reason I didn't add the fifth star is based on the issue with opening/closing times, for instance the Friday before last I was told by a member of staff that the closing time for the cafe on Fridays was 4pm, however, I walked through the doors yesterday (which was Friday) at 3:20pm and was told the cafe had already closed. Now this isn't a big issue in isolation but the fact that this has happened to me several times tells me that staff members either don't know the closing time of the cafe or worse, they're closing the cafe before they're supposed to 🤔.

can find cheaper drinks and food at the city centre but not half bad for a long night in the library, nice scran too.

Excellent food, great staff and a perfect environment to sit and enjoy it all.

Friendly coffee shop, conveniently placed in Queens Library which has it's own break area. The shop itself is a good size if you want a sit down there's usually seats, often busy especially peak library times, as you can imagine.

Fine and really it's in macley library, cost is what it has to put down when serving for mainly Queens University people.

Good spot for hanging out with your lap top and doing some work. Nice coffee. Service could be much better.
