September 21st. We had my daughter’s baby shower at the Library Cafe. Everyone and everything was perfect. Our guests complimented the food and space continuously! We look forward to having another event here soon.

The Library Cafe is one of our most favorite places to go for dining and drinks- great food, great drinks and absolutely the best staff! Had a private party upstairs- GM Mike is a fabulous host; Connor and Lauren bartending and serving food were awesome. We highly recommend The Library Cafe for lunch, dinner, or any occasion!

I swear L.I has some spots. This was a bank, that turned into a library, that's now a bar. It's definitely a welcoming vibe as soon as you step in. Keeping up with the theme they have drinks based on authors. Both drinks was fantastic! My bartender was awesome. He took time to explain and offer great suggestions.
