Tucked inside Rosebank Square, this café feels like a calm nook away from the typical bustle, making it an inviting space to settle into with a laptop or a book.

The atmosphere here leans toward peaceful and cozy, popular among locals who are looking to study, work, or simply unwind. Free wifi and accessible charging ports help support those longer visits, while the friendly, attentive service adds to the welcoming environment. It’s clear the space caters well to individuals or pairs who value a calm setting over loud social scenes.

Menus at Jing Si strike a balance between plant-based nourishment and interesting beverage choices, attracting both vegans and curious omnivores. The food leans fresh and wholesome — highlights include their noodle soups with hearty broths and fresh salad sides, and house specialties like the oyster mushroom glass noodles and the tofu rice bowl. For drinks, expect a range of thoughtfully crafted tea options such as the Jing Si Specialty Tea Set and unique lattes like turmeric and black sesame, which bring a comforting warmth without the usual heavy coffee shop intensity.

Visits here feel like part of a mindful routine rather than a quick caffeine grab—ideal for weekday afternoons or quieter weekend mornings when you want to focus or take some time for yourself. The vibe pairs well with the bookstore element, inviting people who enjoy pairing a good cup of tea with some light reading or gentle browsing of books focused on serene, thoughtful living.

Overall, Jing Si Books & Cafe suits those who appreciate thoughtful plant-based food and a calm, spaced-out environment to work, study, or relax. It isn’t a place for loud catch-ups or hurried meals but rather a spot for lingering over a warm drink and a quiet moment in the middle of Salisbury’s suburban stretch.

I stumbled upon this place on a whim and it was a pleasant surprise. The environment and staff were very welcoming and friendly. They had a wide range of unique latte options and food as well. Both my mum and I enjoyed our time here, it was very calming and would be a great place to study or just to relax.

Beautiful and quiet atmosphere, especially for people who wish to do some work. There r free wifi and charging port available - very convenient. Small plant based menu and has a lot of drink options. Ordered their tofu rice bowl and it was delicious, fresh and healthy. Would definitely be back for another study session.

Easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given, brought my mum (who isn’t vegan) and even she was absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and tea, and the service was impeccable. I feel like I’m compromised even writing this review because this place feels like such a gem and I don’t want to share it, but it’s too good not to! Seriously, vegan bakeries should be sweating the competition, I’ll be back again to try out the rest of the menu!

Thanks so much to Jasmine for taking the time on a busy day to prepare some of their different Oolong tea varieties for me to try. Thanks for patiently explaining all the differences in the teas and how to brew correctly. I love Oolong tea and their organic varieties were amazing quality, great aroma and taste. I highly recommend the Jin Xuan and Premium. I've tried a lot of Oolong tea over the years and these are as good as I've ever had. Thanks again. Xie xie. I'll come back again another day to try some of the other teas

Came here with our laptops to have drinks, food and do some work, 10/10. Nice and quiet, service is fast, food is clean tasting. Free wifi available too. Highly recommend any of the noodle soups, very hearty broths and they come with a side salad. Drinks are also yummy - teas recommended, banana choc smoothie was a bit bland and icy.

Everything is vegan here Milk choices: Almond Oat Soy Great ???????? flavours food and services What we had: Drink Mocha with Oat milk - I genuinely don't like oat milk with coffee but this cafe made it tasted really nice. Turmeric Latte with soy milk - Tasted light, smooth and healthy. Food Apricot custard Danish - they served it warm, the pastry edges are crispy. Ginger Herbal Soup organic rice vermicelli w/ salad 藥膳薑泥有機米粉湯 - This tasted very good. Definitely ???????? and strong ginger flavours. Comes with a small plate of fresh green salad, also very nice. The staff were very nice and friendly, she initially gave me a reward points card and explained how to use it. Will definitely visit again

Excellent coffee and a great atmosphere. The coffee was smooth, rich, and perfectly made — you can really taste the quality of the beans. Cozy space and a lovely place to relax or catch up with friends
