Fantastic little coffee shop with great breakfast sandwiches. Very clean, friendly staff and mellow vibe. Me and my friend stop on occasion to grab a bite and get caught up. Piece of heaven in our downtown Vacaville. read more

Walked in right before closing and we're greeted immediately. We came in after dinner and the staff was super friendly. Amara and Evan made our first time at the library a really nice experience. Ambiance was great. Drinks were very good - I got an old fashioned and it was *chefs kiss* read more

The workers at the bar were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely helped direct me and my gals to the drinks we were searching for on this lovely Saturday evening! Recommend to everyone that is in the area to visit this cool gem hidden in a library. Even took the elevator located inside the building to go to the bathroom! Very fancy and nicely kept building the entire setting was so comfortable and relaxing. read more

Super cool vibe with fun live music, nice drinks, and great customer service. New menu is fire. Love the mac and cheese. They also have a pizza oven. read more

No sauce or cheese just pretty cardboard tasting bread with toppings! Over priced garbage do not go save your time and money! Oh and by the way if I could post this with NO STAR I WOULD! read more

I'm giving a 5 star review based on the vibe, atmosphere and staff. A great place to go if you want something with a different feel than the cookie cutter places. One thing that needs attention for sure is the wait times while in line. For some reason the line to order moves slower than a snails bowels. Please fix this to make the experience perfect!! read more

You guys! This place is SO awesome. Such a chill, vintage bar in an old time library. So many different drink options, and Evan always hooks it up with amazing beverages! My friends and I have become regulars here because of how amazing this place is! My friend is a musician and plays a little bit of piano and Evan totally pulled out the grand piano for my friend to play some music. Such a great experience. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place is ridiculously expensive for the mediocre food and terrible service. Half their food was no longer available when we arrived at 7pm, and they charged $4 per fountain drink and another $4 for a refill. Total ripoff. read more

The food is delicious! I ordered a gyro and it was amazing. The environment is great this is an updated old Carnegie library that has been remodeled. But the books on the walls are real you can grab one and start reading. Ambience is great. The summer it will be a nice place to sit outside and order wood oven pizza. read more

Such a massive miss. The space is great. The crowd is pleasant. The music is fun - too loud, but not to the point of having to leave. The female sax player was awesome. But the food and drink? YIKES. Let's start with the food prices: cheap, but you get what you pay for. The steaks are supermarket quality or less. Rawhide quality, but at least seasoned well. The service? HORRIBLE. Worst I've experienced in decades. Going into a place like this - and ordering what you want on an iPad - and giving your credit card to the guy behind the counter - all bad (and dangerous). Then waiting twenty minutes for your drinks....WHAT? I kept asking myself "WHAT IS THIS PLACE????" They don't seem to know. When the food arrived, it was like this: one of us ordered a pizza, and it was delivered to him. 10 minutes later the baked brie was delivered. 10 minutes after that the first steak (medallions) was delivered - and then 10 minutes after that the last NY Steak (which, as it turns out, was pretty much exactly the same as the medallions except in presentation. Putting in your order and then being directed to "take a number and place it prominently on your table so the "server" can find you" made me feel like I was in fast food restaurant (but trust me, there's nothing fast about this place. NOTHING). It pains me, because we need more non-chain restaurants in Vacaville, but this place needs to go away and give the space to somebody who's serious about delivering a nice dining and beverage experience - because this aint that. read more

Fyi this rating is for the pizzeria dining experience not the bar or speakeasy style part of this place as that would be a totally different review. Service was super slow as it was short staffed with just one guy making, cooking and delivering pizzas to the dining room from outside. Pizzas are pretty pricey at $21-25 for what is a typically a medium pizza. Good Woodfired pizza should be $15-20 or less unless you are in San Francisco where tonys charges $25-30 for one and that is award winning pizza. If they bring the prices down, hire more employees this place could be popping but right now most wont spend that much on a medium pizza and have to wait over an hour for it. Im writing this and we havent gotten our pizza yet. Finally got pizza and once I started to pull slices apart I knew the dough wasnt good (I make homemade dough with fresh yeast culture) as I was pulling the slice apart the dough was tearing apart too easily your dough should be strong to where it doesnt tear at the slightest pull. Id say this dough was very similar to pillsbury canned dough, no flavor and similar to pretzel dough in consistency. I'd recommend they hire someone that knows how to make a good dough if they want people to come back for their pizzas. The employees were kind and hardworking I dont put this experience negatively on them it is a problem with ownership, management and an understanding of quality wood fired pizza. The pizza has flavor but with 50 percent of a pizza being dough you gotta do it justice. I was hoping to have a good wood fired pizza in town I could frequent but sadly this wasn't it. I hate to give low reviews but soetimes you have to be honest so the owners step up the quality. read more

The Library is a great bar with awesome vibes and ambience. The music is always on point and the drinks are beautifully crafted by the bartenders. Highly suggest stopping by for a chill drink. read more

The food here is literally the best Ive ever had in Vacaville. It doesn't even compare to other restaurants. I took off a star because the service was slow, I suggest trying it on a night when there isn't a show going on next door. read more

Lovely place! Live music was such a treat. They deserve more reviews. It's located in a lovely area and the building is amazing. I would love to go back. Pizza was delish! Service superb! Music was lovely! So many different seats to choose from. Five stars!!!!! read more

Was really hoping to see this place do OK. Very limited hours. The first time my wife and I came a couple of months ago, the menu wasn't large and at the high-end of pricing, but the food that was offered and service was really good. My wife and I returned a couple of weeks later. We recently took friends from out of town there on a Saturday night, and unfortunately, nothing but outdoor wood-fired pizza is now offered. The kitchen has essentially been closed. Further, the service was terrible. After our cocktails were ordered, the bartender looked over the order and finally made them after about 10 minutes. Although it was an early dinner, the place was nearly empty, and we were sitting right there near the bar, we had to wait another 10-15 minutes for the server to bring them over. She only did after we asked her to bring them. I don't know why the bartender just couldn't bring them when the server was missing? We tried 3 different pizzas. The pepperoni was pretty good. That drizzle of honey on a pizza...was great! The pizzas are a typical small size from like any franchise pizza maker. We ordered 3 pizzas, and 5 cocktails. Our bill was @ $190.00 and it took 90 minutes. The second round of drinks waiting for pizzas took just as long. Giving it 3 stars because of prior experiences. The place still has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, at $25 for a $10 pizza and $15 for a $10 cocktail, with not very good service, probably some bad mojo in there. Currently, this establishment would serve more as a social bar than a food venue. Picture going to your favorite library with some comfortable chairs and sofas (and some not so comfortable tables and chairs) and it has a bar! If you want outdoor fired pizza, cool. But you'll pay. Right now, it is a pre/post-date night cocktail venue. Stop in before or after a movie. If you are going to another restaurant nearby with food, stopping in here for a cocktail before or after dinner could be cozy. Without a real menu, not very good service, and no music, it is a date-night stop, it is not a date-night destination. I think it might be tough to make it make it as a pizza joint. read more

Went here for a book club meeting and I really enjoyed myself. The pizza was really good and so was the service. I love vintage/antique decor and throw in that I'm a bibliophile you know this place hit the spot! Can't wait to have a date day here with my hubs. They have beautiful looking vintage couches and chairs to lounge on, so that's what we will be doing! read more

Decided to give this place a try again. My friend never got her food order and her drink came out after 30 minutes. I normally love the wood fire pizza but today mine was undercooked :/ so no improvement from 8 months ago. Prolly best to go somewhere else. read more

Visited this establishment on 5/16/25 due to the Afroman show at the Journey Venue. We ordered a tri-tip steak salad & a wood fire pizza (what they are known for) pepperoni with garlic, hot honey drizzle & we added prosciutto to it. This was at 6:40pm. One of our family members was performing before Afroman went on stage at 7:40pm. Great; we'd have time to eat & get in to watch them perform. Time is ticking. It's 7:20pm... no food. The man in charge or at least worked there (guessing a manager?) whom was overlooking the wood fire pizza station outside, spoke with my partner explaining to him they got busy but our food was on the way- my partner had to ask what was going on with our food. He guaranteed us our food was being worked on & it would come out shortly. It's 7:40, my salad came but no pizza... my partner went inside to watch our family member preform; I unfortunately had to miss the performance due to our pizza not arriving. To say I was extremely upset would be an understatement, we came to watch them perform & I had to miss it. I approached the man at 7:50pm who spoke to my partner earlier who was at the wood fire pizza station & asked for a refund, we had waited over an hour for a PIZZA! He said no, that the pizza was ready & kept asking if I was inside the venue or at a table. He stated they got extremely busy- that's a you problem sir not ours. I had went inside and saw a table of 4 who ordered a while after us have their food (2 pizzas, wings, drinks) all arrive & eating before we got our 1 PIZZA! They finally delivered the pizza to the table I was seated at 8pm. That's right 8pm. Worst service, did not get to enjoy our food, missed my family performance & when we looked at the pizza NO PROSCIUTTO ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? Will never return here, & the pizza was not worth the wait or taste, let alone an extra charge for prosciutto that was not on the pizza. Asked for a refund was denied & the only excuse they gave was because they were "busy" just say you forgot or did not care about our food, comp the meal & let's be on our way. The library should have stayed a library & not turn into a restaurant that cannot properly serve their customers correctly or professionally. I would give them 0 stars but yelp will not allow for it. Never again. Thanks for one of our worst dining experiences, we drove over an hour to be there & missing a performance that meant something. read more

The place is nice and we were excited to check it out. However, the service was absolutely terrible!! Both employees acted like we didn't even exist. We felt really uncomfortable. I had to go ask for our sodas after over 30 minutes of waiting. The food was ok but a little overpriced. The guy working outside and making the food was extremely nice. The employees working inside however was not a good experience at all. I would suggest hiring people that are welcoming and know how to provide great service. read more

Ambiance is exactly what we have been waiting for in Vacaville! Such a great place with cozy nooks, places for families to come with kids or even a get away date night! I love that there are scrabble boards and chess boards out to play, even skipbo! one of my favs. The cocktails are unique and delicious, and they do an amazing vodka martini with the ice crystals that float on top. The service can be slow when they get busy, but the ambiance and great people make up for it! read more

Awesome place to enjoy some good pizza and well made drinks! Evan was super friendly and nice and always attentive to ensure we had the most amazing experience being our first time. I will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

Sat outside on a Sunday afternoon, the weather was perfect. My cocktail was awesome - it rounded out the weekend on a positive note!

Ladies night with the girls! I had a delicious steak that was cooked to perfect. Lazy mule is the drink of choice and pretty much all the ladies got the same and got seconds! I'd say the Mac and cheese was decent but needed more flavor and the gnocchi was delicious. Good options even tho we really wanted the pork belly which was out! read more

The Library is perhaps one of the most unique clubs to come along in awhile, and is an especially welcome oasis in the desert of sports bars and chain restaurants commonly found in Vacaville. From the moment you arrive, it's like stepping back in time as you're surrounded by towering book shelves with comfortable couches to relax in, but I recommend a seat at the well stocked bar where you'll meet Evan, your congenial host and craft cocktail master who asks your preferences before making your drink--a nice personal touch. Then, he goes to work with a flourish by scaling a book ladder, and finding the right bottle from the shelf, before he skillfully prepares your libation, right down to shaving the generous ice cube with a knife! It's fun to watch and a show in itself that looks like magic and is delivered with a smile every time and you feel like an old friend even if you're a stranger in town. If you're hungry, there are tasty offerings and a trademark wood hearth pizza that's really good, too! Bottom line: Head down to the "Library" for a one-of-a kind experience that's both fun and memorable! read more

Stopped in to grab a quick drink. The building and atmosphere inside seem very cool and relaxed. I really want to like this place but we waited for a very long time for two drinks. Service was slow and I was not very satisfied with the drinks either. I noticed many other tables waiting for drinks and asking the staff about their orders. The staff seemed to be friendly but my first impression was not as good as I wanted it to be. The menu looked good but we were not having dinner. I may have to try this spot again but for now I may not choose to come here if looking for a place to grab a few drinks. read more

The best craft cocktail bar in town! Cozy seating, mood lighting, and extremely knowledgeable and kind bartenders make this a perfect date night spot! read more

Went twice awful experience with both food/drinks. Burnt pizza, no flavor, couldn't even finish it.

The bartender, Evan, lacks customer service. This is my 2nd interaction with him and both times have been horrible. I allowed his behavior the 1st time, thinking he was having a bad day or what not. The 2nd interaction was way worse. Never will recommend this establishment & I am a long time resident of Vacaville... 30+ years. Horrible. read more

You can never go wrong with a historical part of vacaville, cozy setting, books all around, especially at the bar! The vibe is perfect. Live music on Sundays, spacious outdoor seating area with couches, tables, and fire pit, pizza oven and own bar. Bartenders/staff were very down to earth and social. Drinks are a little pricey, definitely has its busy and slow times but perfect if you want a quiet place to read or a place to socialize with friends. read more

This place is fantastic. The ambiance of drinking a craft cocktail around a fire and shelves of vintage books is unlike anywhere I have ever been. Great place to spend your evening alone or with friends. The staff is friendly and fun to be around. read more

Was so excited to try this place. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, but that's about as far as the positives go. The service is one star at best. Waited 15 minutes to be served, and then our server brought one of two drinks out. After 20 minutes, with no checkup finally went up to the bar to and the drink was still in the shaker! Not only did I get an old, warm drink, it was HORRIBLE. Had to eat our main course off of dirty appetizer plates. The concept is brilliant, but SO poorly executed. Definitely not worth the price tag and won't be coming back. read more
