We went there in the afternoon when it was quiet. The weather was nice enough to eat outside and the food we ordered was good with generous portions and modestly priced. A nice friendly atmosphere. This is obviously a regular meeting place for ex-pats - and for very good reasons.

It's hard to find. But we enjoyed the afternoon there. Food was good. We had hummus and pizza both very good. Nice and casual. Many foreigners. I will go back for sure.

Real coffee is widely available in china, but if you fancy a good one (not the water served by 85 degrees or the crap from Starbucks) it turns out mostly to be quite expensive.

The Bookworm is a welcoming place for ex-pats living in Suzhou. The food is fair, the beer flows well and the staff all speak fairly good English.
