Coffee Shop - Mr Tulk

If you want quiet, head for the State Library’s Dome Room. If you want a téte-à-téte while you sip your cappuccino in light-filled heritage splendour, go next door to Mr Tulk. Named after the Library’s first chief librarian, Augustus Henry Tulk, the black-stencilled profile of the cafe’s celebrated namesake is silhouetted on the white walls. A La Marzocco macchiato arrives aromatic and complex. Literally great coffee, the buzz of conversation, and books.
