One of my favorite simple coffee drinks in the area is the New Orleans iced coffee here. It's made with chicory-style cold brew, milk, and simple syrup. Very straightforward, but really well balanced. If you've never had chicory coffee before, it has a deeper, slightly earthy flavor that stands out from a standard cold brew without being overly bitter. It feels inspired by Louisiana/New Orleans-style coffee rather than the super sugary "dessert coffee" trend that a lot of places lean into right now. What I especially appreciate is the price point. At around $5.75, it feels reasonable for a specialty coffee drink that still tastes unique and intentional. read more

Mother's Day started off great. I stopped by Nook Coffee Bar to surprise my wife with coffee and breakfast. The line was out the door, but I knew she'd love waking up to a nice cup of coffee, so the wait didn't bother me. I ordered coffee along with three ham and cheese croissants to go. When I got home, my wife was so happy. She ate part of her croissant but didn't finish it. My son did the same and only picked at the edges. I ended up finishing mine and the rest of my son's. About 8 hours later, after grilling dinner, both my wife and I suddenly became extremely sick. Severe stomach pain, nonstop trips to the restroom, and all the signs of food poisoning hit us hard. Our guest had just started eating dinner while my wife and I were both stuck dealing with the symptoms. The symptoms carried throughout the entire night and are still lingering. Both of us have been dealing with fevers, body aches, nausea, stomach cramps, and constant trips to the restroom. It completely ruined what started as such a special Mother's Day for our family. I normally don't leave reviews like this, but I felt it was important to share our experience. I truly hope this was an isolated incident, especially on a busy holiday, but I also hope food handling and quality control are looked into so no other families have to spend Mother's Day ending like ours did. read more

Nook Coffee Bar is easily one of my favorite matcha spots to go to. I always find myself coming back for their Island Matcha, and I've even put a lot of my friends on it at this point. It is a bit of a drive for me, but I genuinely think it's worth it every time. The worker there is really nice, and the café itself is small but cozy, with a relaxed vibe that makes it a good place to just sit and enjoy your drink. The Island Matcha is by far my favorite. It's made with oat milk, coconut, and macadamia syrup, which gives it a really smooth and creamy texture. The coconut adds a light tropical sweetness, while the macadamia syrup gives it a subtle nutty richness that pairs really well with the matcha. It's well balanced without being too sweet, and it just has a really comforting, slightly unique flavor that makes it stand out from a regular matcha latte. I've been wanting to try their other drinks, but honestly I like this one so much that I just keep going back to it. At this point it's hard for me to switch up my order. read more

The place was nice enough, but with so many coffee options around, it's hard to choose one that I'm not really impressed by. It's very minimalist inside, but with that - everything looks a little dingy. I'm sure it was polished when it opened though. The workers were...working. Not super friendly, just doing their jobs. I'm not mad at that though, just glad they're not rude. Haha. The honey lavender latte is very lavender-y. What's nice is that it's not overly sweet. My husband got the Spanish latte and he thinks it's mid+. The cup size is smaller than we expected too. Food wise we ordered a kouign amann (I can't pass one up when I see one) and a ham and cheese croissant. Haven't tried them yet, so I'll report back. read more

This place is busy busy! Despite the long line, they work fast and trust me the quality is very much there. I ordered a flat white (wasn't in the mood for anything sweet but needed a caffeine hit) and it was perfectly smooth. My hubs got the coconut matcha and loved how coconut-ty it was and not too sweet. Hit this place up next time you're craving coffee or matcha! read more

First timer! The line was LONG! They don't have much room indoors so if the line is too long; you'll have to wait outside (sometimes in the heat). The drinks were yummy! The mocha latte was sooooo chocolately. The Spanish latte was fire! We didn't try any pastries but they sure did look yummy. Worth the wait. read more

topped by Nook Coffee Shop on a rainy day and was surprised to see 8-9 people in line, plus a few waiting for drinks -- always a good sign! Despite the crowd, service was quick and efficient. It's more of a grab-and-go spot, but after tasting the drinks, the short wait was totally worth it. We ordered the Mexican chai latte, Spanish latte, and honey lavender latte. I got my Spanish latte half sweet and it was perfectly balanced -- still plenty sweet without being overpowering. All the drinks were flavorful and well made. The kouign-amann was a standout too -- crisp and caramelized outside, soft inside, and just the right sweetness. Overall, really solid coffee and pastries! read more

Nice staff. Not overly friendly like Dutch Bros or Starbucks. Good or should I say great coffee must be like good wine. $6.50 for a 10oz (the only size available) was good but to be honest was no better than the more popular places in my opinion. I was the oldest person in line which tells me it's a thing now. Small is hip and y'all want to be part of the hip group so you stand in line and get your shot glass of coffee and say you're apart of it all. I was expecting more but that's me. I'm sure the coffee experts taste something my pallet isn't hip to. Well I tried it and that's the first and last time for me read more

Came here for a little pick me up, normally don't drink coffee, but I will say my first drink here was one of their featured ones. The Chaggachino, it actually turned out surprisingly good especially for the fact that it has 0 sugar. I went based off one of their posted signs and it mentioned something about mushroom and coffee and it kinda got me intrigued. Nonetheless, it was a great coffee. Line was out the door when I came, so I can tell it was very popular and I believe they only have a few locations. I didn't mind the wait. read more

This is a really good grab and go spot. If you are looking for a place to work or meet up with someone this may not be your spot. There is not a lot of seating and it's very uncomfortable. But the coffee and pastries are really good. Just wish they had more food items. Also, all the staff are very friendly. Coffee 5 Food 3 Design 3.5 Comfort 3 Vibe 4.5 Service 5 read more

Drinks came out great! Coastline was definitely the best of the two. Love that they have a selection of dairy alternatives. The line wasn't long but it did take quite a bit to get an order in than it should've. Each guest in front of us was ordering a tray if not more of drinks and they were taking and making orders almost one by one. Great drinks but definitely a slower paced shop. read more

I had a friend who kept raving about this spot, so I had to try it for myself while I was in town. My husband and I went on a Sunday morning, and there was a line out the door--which immediately gave us the impression that it had to be good. The wait wasn't long at all, and it was absolutely worth it. We placed a pretty large order for ourselves and our friends. My husband ordered the Spanish latte, which was delicious and reminded me of Tierra Mia Café. I had the iced hazelnut latte with oat milk, and it was good as well--smooth and flavorful. I also loved how modern and cute the café looked inside. I would definitely come back again and recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

I tried Nook since I was in the area and I would personally not recommend. We ordered the matcha latte 50% sweetness and hojicha latte 30% sweetness. The matcha latte had little to no matcha flavor and was overwhelmed by the milk. The hojicha latte felt grainy/gritty and not a smooth hojicha/milk blend. Next time, I would try the coffee instead. Despite the drinks, service is fast and the people are all very nice. The interior is aesthetic as well, but the seating is not particularly comfortable if you want to do some work here. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to come on a whim! The coffee bar is located on a corner and can be easily spotted. There are multiple shops and restaurants in the area. The coffee bar looks modern, inside and out. There were outdoor tables outside. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there were no customers. There are alot of contemporary pieces such a wooden bar and seating. We ordered the vanilla latte and the island matcha, which the barista said was their popular drinks. She was nice and helpful. I noticed their pastry shelf was completely empty. We didn't wait long for our order, they were fully staffed. Soon after, more people started coming in. The barista called out our order. The vanilla latte foam was a heart, which I thought was cute. The Island matcha is very unique and I can definitely taste the combination of coconut and macaroni syrup. So nice! read more

Loved the Matcha Latte and Ham & Cheese Croissant! The drink was not too sweet or too earthy and the pastry was warm and crispy. Service was efficient and the place is very beloved and popular. The shop is small so make sure to come early or at a not so busy time so you don't have to wait in line outside! read more

I visited Nook for the first time on a Saturday around 11am and was surprised to see a line out the door! We waited about 20 minutes. I appreciated that they provided umbrellas for shade since it was a hot day when we visited. The space inside is small with few seating options. I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was delicious! My sister ordered the lavender matcha and loved it too. If you are a matcha fan, this place is a must-try! read more

I always look forward to that very first sip of my coffee from Nook--it never disappoints! My go-to drink is always their iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it's absolutely delicious every single time. It's a small little spot, but don't let that (or the line) fool you. Even when it looks busy, the line moves fast and you're in and out within minutes. They have a cozy little lounge area that's perfect for hanging out (even though it's not very big), and they accept Apple Pay, which is super convenient. There's also a small selection of pastries to pair with your drink. The staff is always friendly and efficient, which makes the experience even better. This is my go-to place when I want to spoil myself with a really good coffee. Highly recommend it--and again, don't let the line scare you. It moves quickly! read more

Been coming since opening day. Entire staff is awesome and they're quick. Best Spanish latte out there. The shop itself is cozy for chats not ideal for studying/work but they play good music read more

Small cozy spot inside the shell gas station. Don't let the long lines discourage you. It moves pretty fast. There's more seating deep inside. The lines get pretty crazy at times. So off days/hours are always best. Simple menu. Very consistent with their coffee. They got it their stuff down to the T. I always get their honey lavender latte iced. Delish. Sip sip. read more

Great coffee shop! I got the strawberry matcha, I'm new to matcha but I enjoyed it. Compared to fireproofs strawberry matcha it's a tad more watery and less sweet but still enjoyable - would come again. Not bitter or clumpy. Not study friendly - only one outlet and 4 seats with a table. Mostly benches. Does have a bathroom and wifi. Easy parking. read more

We were getting some holiday shopping done in the area so we desperately needed coffee motivation. We were able to found parking pretty easily but were surprised to find a line outside the door waiting to get in. We weren't in a rush so we waited. It took us maybe about 10 minutes to get all the way inside. I think this happens often because there were umbrellas available for patrons to use to protect against the sun! A thoughtful touch. Once we got inside, we saw that the place is quiet, simple but modern. The seats looks pretty uncomfortable and bare so I would say this is more of a grab and go place. Service was running quickly and smoothly so it didn't take long for us to place our order and get our drinks. We opted for iced drinks and a chocolate croissant: -Matcha Latte with whole milk. The matcha was ok. I wish I had known it came pre-sweetened. It was too sweet for my liking. I feel like the sweetness can overpower the matcha flavor sometimes so I like to get it unsweetened if possible. I still enjoyed my drink but next time I'd ask for it to unsweetened or go for something else. -Coastline Cold Brew. This is their cold brew with macadamia and coconut syrup, and oat milk. This was pretty tasty. It is also sweet, but that's expected from the ingredient description. Even though it was sweet, I thought it was all balanced well. I would get this again. -Chocolate Croissant. They asked if we'd like it warmed up and we said yes. When we got it, it didn't feel too warmed up to be honest. The croissant was still delicious and flaky as you would expect. Perfect amount of chocolate inside. read more

Nook Coffee is easily one of the best coffee spots in the area. Cozy space, friendly baristas, and consistently great coffee. I usually go to the Costa Mesa location but always make sure to stop by here when im in the IE! Perfect for working, meeting a friend, or just grabbing a really good cup of coffee or matcha. It's the kind of place you end up coming back to without even thinking about it. The owner is also SUPER nice. Highly recommend supporting this small local biz!! read more

Drinks: Matcha Latte (7/10) was decent. Not super strong or standout but still enjoyable. A solid choice if you want something simple. Strawberry Matcha (6/10) not my personal favorite, but if you like strawberry in your drinks it might be worth trying! It's okay, just not my preference. Service: They accidentally gave me the wrong drink at first and gave me a strawberry matcha instead of a normal matcha latte but were nice about fixing it. Even with a mini rush starting up they stayed polite and handled it well. Ambiance: Small and cozy with a relaxed feel. Some people were working on laptops while others were chatting. The seating setup is cute with built-in tables and there are window seats too. Lines can happen but we got lucky and didn't wait. read more

Surprisingly one of the BEST matcha lattes I've ever had in the IE. I highly recommend the Coconut Matcha Latte! Not your typical matcha order. The matcha was so strong and earthy, yet the coconut syrup (made in-house) compliments the drink perfectly! Sweet, nutty, and creamy. We came here at 7:45 AM Sunday and as soon as we ordered, a HUGE LINE formed behind us. Clearly a super popular spot in the mornings. I'll definitely be back! Note: Consistency might not always be there. Though my matcha had a good matcha-to-milk ratio, my friend's matcha had too much milk and not enough matcha (?) read more

I love Nook! Whenever I visit my best friend, she takes me here and it is always so good. She's a regular so the staff recognizes her and are always so kind to us. I always get the Spanish latte, which is the perfect mix of coffee and sweet. The inside of the cafe is so aesthetic, but it can be hard to find seating when it's really busy. Nevertheless, love Nook! They also have a Costa Mesa location. read more

I really enjoyed my hot Spanish latte from here. I appreciated the balance in flavor as well as the appearance- right away I knew I had a near perfect brew. I would have liked it to have been a bit hotter, but other than that it was delicious. It's a nice, small location which serves it purpose nicely. The young lady that assisted me was welcoming, and the young man that followed with a smile, made the experience even more inviting. I definitely recommend a visit to Nook. (I give this place a 4.5) read more

I've been to their location in Harbor Gateway (Torrance) and really enjoyed their matcha latte, but after coming to their Rancho Cucamonga location, it wasn't the same. I got the matcha latte with strawberry this time, and I think they just used flavored syrup because there were no strawberry bits inside. This part was not only pretty disappointing, but the matcha latte itself wasn't like the one I had in Torrance. First, the flavor was flat, and then I remembered that they didn't ask if I wanted sweetener (they did in Torrance). Milk wasn't as smooth, a little too frothy, and I think they oversaturated the milk with too much matcha powder because I could taste the powdery texture. Boyfriend got the strawberry lemonade and it was MAD sour. I'm not sure if it came from the strawberry or lemons but that was the most sour lemonade I'd ever had. read more

Coastline cold brew is my new obsession! Great service. This place does get busy on the weekends but the line goes by quick!

5/7/2025 Recently opened, Nook has been quite popular here. Everytime I'm here, there's always a long line out the door! Fortunately, I got here around 12:50pm on a Wednesday and there was no line! First time there was no line when I came here. Last time I was here, I was standing outside in the sun for over 15 minutes. CAPPUCCINO This has been my favorite go-to drink. Love their frothy milk foam and their espresso is not bitter nor too strong. I add two raw sugar packets to sweeten it and it is the perfect pick-me-up drink! MATCHA TONIC Another go-to when I'm here. The matcha tastes great and as a tonic, it is a deliciously refreshing, fizzy drink with a hint of lemony flavor from the tonic water. You can't go wrong with this drink! Drinks don't take long and they're quick in making them. Never had any issues with my drinks too. I didn't order them today, but I've tried their iced Strawberry Matcha and their iced Lavender Matcha. Their Strawberry Matcha's strawberry flavor was weak and I wouldn't recommend. Their Lavender Matcha had the perfect balance of lavender and matcha. Any lavender matcha lover would enjoy this! I tried both of these drinks with regular milk. It's quite a lot of milk, btw, so be aware for anyone ordering with regular milk. And yes, there are milk alternatives (oat, almond, macadamia). There's a small pastry display case with various pastries, but they're not consistent in what they have. They mainly have butter croissants and ham & cheese croissants stocked up, but other pastries have been MIA or almost gone. Haven't tried their pastries yet though. They also sell cookies and brownies. Maybe one day I'll give it a try. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly service! Of all the coffee shops I've visited, they're the friendliest! I'd never thought I'd appreciate friendly service until you enter snobby coffee shops like Portola Coffee Roasters and you see that you do not have to deal with baristas like that. SEATING AREA Indoors, there's benches with small tray tables. One bar seating area for 3 people. It's small inside and it's mainly for people having their orders to go. However, when it's not crowded, it's quite comfy when seated at the bench and enjoy your hot drink. There's also two small tables outdoors. BATHROOM Had to write this because I appreciate when there's a bathroom in coffee shops. Some small coffee shops don't have one for customers, which is shocking at times, but I guess there's no one to clean them. Anyway, Nook has a single, unisex bathroom. Very clean too. PARKING This is located directly across from 76 gas station and there's other small businesses in this small strip mall. Parking is adequate. You can still find parking inside, as it doesn't get too busy during the week. Weekends are always a bit risky with parking, as people are mainly there for coffee or gas. read more

I visited Nook during a week-long stay at a hotel across the street, and it quickly became my go-to spot every morning. I had the honey lavender latte and the hibiscus lemonade -- both were incredible. The flavor profile of the latte was perfection, with the honey and lavender balanced beautifully. The hibiscus lemonade was refreshing. Such a cozy spot with amazing drinks. The baristas were friendly and the foam art pretty good. Highly recommend! read more

The drinks here are pretty yummy! I got the spanish latte and matcha latte, both with oat milk. I was pleasantly surprised by the matcha - I could taste the rich umami flavor and it wasn't too sweet. The spanish latte, on the other hand, was on the sweeter side but I thought the coffee was great quality! Next time I would ask for the drink to be less sweet. Would def recommend their matcha! The vibes inside the cafe were super cute! Very minimalistic and relaxed. A small seating area, so not great for large parties. Also not any tables. read more

Came in on a Friday morning just before 8am. The line was short and the music was a vibe. Baristas were friendly and inviting. I opted for a Spanish Latte, with my usual being a vanilla latte - hot, of course. I don't drink coffee for the quantity, but rather the quality and that's what you pay for here at nook. Smooth, savory, and delicious coffee. The menu is simple and to the point. Drinks are one standard size. I didn't see any drinks over the $8 mark - my drink costing $7.50 with tip. Overall, this is a great local spot for a quick pick me up that satisfies the craving for a quality caffeinated drink. read more
