The Aladdin's cave of books in the State Library draws hordes of literature addicts from all over the cultural capital and this cafe completes their collective wish list, giving them a place to immediately devour their findings. Located within the library's humbling Victorian building, Mr Tulk (named for the first state librarian, Augustus Tulk) retains the heritage feel, emphasising its features with rich chocolatey tones and polished timber. The library-ish decor is greatly appreciated by the aforementioned bookworms, who can happily spread out at the communal tables with their books and a coffee. Chef Andy Kubale is formerly of the Melbourne Wine Room, an illustrious pedigree that bodes well for Mr Tulk's menu. However, they are keeping things fairly simple and accessible, with a range of rolls and flatbreads supplemented by daily specials.

lovely
Met my best friend for a catch-up at Mr. Tulk yesterday. I used to be a regular because I worked around the corner but now it has been a couple of months since I've last been there and it is just as awesome as I remembered it. The staff is super friendly and really seem to like their job. Mr Turk is a reliable source of high quality coffee. always. I love the cute little tarts and cupcakes.

Fantastic
I have been here for both breakfast and lunch, and it's my favourite place to go to for cafe fare in the cbd. With decent serves and friendly staff, its an easy go to option, being so close to melbourne central. That's not even starting on the food... The best baked eggs I've had by far, with the spinach puree having outstanding flavour. The halzelnut and beetroot salad is divine also, a perfect balance of flavours. Im looking forward to having their fish of the day when I return on a Friday..

A nice place
It was a very busy lunchtime, but the service with quick and friendly. The food, (I had the baked eggs) was yum! Two soft yoked eggs atop a smooth and flavourful spinach puree topped with strips of crispy pancetta. All little pricey but I will be going back again.
