What a great place !! nice little place pretty crowded, seems to be popular with lots of merch and great coffee and a breakfast menu. That was exactly what I was looking for. this is a great place that is clean, super busy, makes great coffee and their breakfast is to die for! I got a full English breakfast with sausage ham, bacon, beans, eggs, potatoes, and it was just exactly what I was looking for. They have merchandise hanging on the wall, fun environment, even at 9 AM. There was almost a line out the door trying to wait for tables. The server was spot on, everyone was helpful, engaging just what I love in a local eatery. Highly recommend.!!!!

It's not a cocktail bar, but they try to accommodate mixed drinks with the ingredients they have. They also have eight beers on tap, four staples (three of which are lagers) and four rotating handles, with some appealing choices. We have not tried eating there yet, so cannot comment on food at this time. Definitely a great place to stop by for liquid treats though.

My girlfriend and I have been walking past the Nook on a regular basis for a while now, having seen…read moreit as a work in progress and the delightful little coffee shop and more that it's blossoming into. At the weekend, we finally got around to stopping by and I'm very glad we did. The Nook, as the name would suggest, is a small and cozy establishment in Heaton Moor offering a range of teas, coffees, snacks, ice cream and other goodies. I'd estimate there's maybe seating inside for around 20 or so people, with a few more seats outside but in the current weather you'd have to be very brave to use those! The staff were very friendly, prompt and helpful. Between us we ordered a latte and a pot of chai masala. The latte was good, though if you're used to a latte from a chain this was stronger with more coffee flavour. The chai masala tea was amazing. Full flavoured tea with a good hit of spice and warming ginger; exactly what was needed on a miserable windy November weekend. The cups are also huge, the pot held two full cups easily; so at less than a fiver for both of us this was a bargain. I think I put this in a tip, but they are in the process of introducing movie rental on top of their other offerings. Not content with just adding this additional service to the neighbourhood, the profit from the rentals once they're underway are being donated to good causes and charities based around the Heatons so there's even more incentive to go and use them! The only reason why I'm not giving the Nook a 5 star rating is the door. Maybe it was just because we went on a day where a named storm was ravaging the North West with 65 mph gusts, but the door just wouldn't stay closed so everyone was unfortunately sat in quite a breezy environment. There was one lady sat by the door who attempted to keep it shut with her foot. Though, I didn't really feel the cold thanks to the tea I was gleefully drinking.

The coffee isn't bad and the surroundings 'Costa-ery' but a little better - I like the fact that they support local farmers for milk and even have a 2nd hand book exchange system upstairs. Nice touches!
