I have been wanting to check out The Nook and this coffee shop for a while. It was pretty packed inside but service was fast. I loved the mocktails they had on the menu. I went with an iced strawberry matcha. OMG! It was fabulous. Tasted like Strawberry Quik but in the best possible matcha way. There's lots of seating areas or you can just go next door to browse. There's an upper level with tables, too.

Popped in on the first day of the booktour! Love stopping in to try new things on the menu. I will…read moresay that they have started to serve food not just baked goods. They sell flatbreads and avocado toast. I will say I am a bit confused on why the avocado toast is not listed as having a gluten free option. It's made with schaar bread and oh so good! There is a way to make the avocado toast dairy free too. If you have a gluten and dairy allergy like I do, none of the baked goods are dairy free. I ended up ordering an Oscar Wilde Berry Lemonade. Service was fast. I had my drink within minutes of ordering. It was the perfect amount of refreshing for a hot summer day and I loved the faint hint of lavender as well. I did also make sure to bring up the fact they may want to look into listing the gluten free option for the avocado toast because it is not stated anywhere on the menu.

You order your tea at the counter and then it is brought to you in a little tea pot with an hour glass. If it's a black tea you ordered, you have a five minute timer. If it's herbal, you have a seven minute hour glass. There's a display of mismatched cups and saucers to choose from to drink your tea. I ordered a London Fog which came out in a great pottery mug. Really delicious. The prices are very reasonable too. Really cute store front and great service.

Shortly before I ran out, I placed an $80 order on their website and received the tea quickly! There was a missing item from my order so I emailed them and not 4 minutes later, Justeen emailed me back and said she was going to priority ship the remaining part. Big fan of their teas (Scottish Caramel, Honey Almond) and now I'm a big fan of their customer service!

It's definitely the best coffee shop in the area, they also offer açai bowls and other food items that are really good. The owner is so nice and they use homemade syrup. She did not tell me to leave this review and I do not know her personally. I just genuinely love this coffee shop so much that they deserve every positive feedback and recognition that they deserve. Also, the bathroom is always filled with feminine products, and there are toys for parents that bring their children in. Talk about accommodating every type of guest. Please go give him a try you will not regret it.

The "ambiance" lights were just general light xmas light strings (which you could see they were…read moregreen corded) criss crossed in a zig zag patter-ish hanging from the ceiling from what looked like string. Only created a sense of a girls' college dorm room, not a warm, friendly place to find while navigating downtown. There was not a high level of noise, which was refreshing, but I felt as if I was being watched when I was the only one there. One thing that I was put-off by was this number counter thing on the counter. I guess it showed how many reviews they received on Facebook. Not the type of decoration I see at other coffee places. I enjoyed the drink I ordered, but heaven's sakes could it be ANY more expensive!!!! I was just trying a new place and now almost regret it. Oh, and when I tried to order some food off the menu they didn't have any of the ingredients for what I wanted. Only some of the spicy stuff I cannot eat. There was some merch to purchase, however there were very few options and I did not see any options for sizes of the t-shirts. The prices were not listed so I needed to ask one of the employees. Unfortunately it took a bit to get her attention and by then I was no longer interested. In all honesty, avoid this place and keep walking. The prices are outrageous, the ambiance is college dorm girly at best and it feels as if the employees are watching and judging you.

You'd mistake this place for a very expensive option given the fancy interior, but it's quite the opposite. I got a lot of value out of my time and money here.
