A new favorite place in Bath!…read more
From the website: "Nook is an Aussie influenced cafe that gives a lovely nod to the wonderful cafes in coastal Australia... our vision was to create a place that sold all the healthy, wholesome, and colorful food that these cafes had to offer... think cold pressed juices, superfood smoothies, speciality coffee, poke bowls, acai smoothie bowls, and much more! ... It is about providing nourishment that is good for you but does not sacrifice flavour and taste. We also wanted to be super inclusive to all diet types so we decided to go totally gluten free (super easy with fresh produce), mostly dairy free, and have heaps of options for plant based and vegan lifestyles. Our produce is local, sustainable, ethical and where possible organic."
It is absolutely all of that!
Space can be limited, but there is a super charming and intimate upstairs area with some communal seating options and tables for two as well. If it's nice, enjoy sitting outside!
The staff here is incredibly friendly and patient; please be friendly and patient back as they sometimes get VERY busy.
My favorites? The Pumpkin Spice iced coffee with oat milk (made with pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and coconut sugar - this is not the cloyingly sweet thing you'd find at a chain, but robust and well-rounded with spices of the season), the Banoffee Pie superfood smoothie (made with tahini, dates, maca, banana, and oatmilk - it's a healthy, drinkable dessert!), the Banana Bread (served until 11:30; it's toasted banana bread topped with coconut yoghurt, blueberry compote, maple syrup, sliced banana, and toasted almond - these are just the quintessential flavors of breakfast! so hearty and so many lovely textures!), the Sticky Sesame Tofu bowl (served from 11:30 to 3:30; made with edamame, sweet potato, corn salsa, pickled cucumber, sticky brown rice, citrus kale, mayo, and nori - it tastes good, it feels good to eat, it's filling without being heavy!).
This is the kind of place you return to again and again to try everything off the menu. When I'm in Bath, I find Nook to be a reliable place for nourishing and lighter eats, as well as exceptionally made coffee drinks.
