    We were up on a Saturday morning decided to go get coffee. We tried to go to three other places and they were super crazy that we looked up this place and decided to go luckily there was not too many people in my and it was a super hot day they were very unique in the fact that they had umbrellas outside for their customers that we were waiting to get inside to place their orders. I thought that was awesome We got in waited about 10 min place our order with the gentleman that was helping us at the register. He was very sweet and helpful joked with us for a while. We had told him we had went to other places, but they were super packed. He said we were meant to be there because this one was the best and honestly I think I might have to agree with him. Customer service was fantastic. We received our drinks pretty quickly and they were absolutely delicious. It was very crowded inside so we couldn't sit down inside and enjoy our pastries and coffee, but we went ahead and took that home and it was just as good. I will definitely be back again.

    Island Matcha
    Kiana L.

    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.

    Spanish latte and nook way cold brew
    Lily A.

    So cute inside and I was so impressed with my Nook way cold brew! The best way I could describe the taste is the leftover milk of the honey graham cereal and it brought back many childhood memories for me I was OBSESSED, not too sweet. I will definitely come back for that one.

    Interior

    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.

    Mocha Latte
    Parker R.

    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.

    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!

    I think I found my go-to coffee shop in Rancho Cucamonga! I was searching for a good coffee shop or café since I also work nearby in the area. So of course, caffeine is a must, especially if you're working long hours. A big plus is that Nook Coffee Bar is located right next to a 76 gas station. I purposely fill up on gas at this 76 location just so that I can stop by Nook and get a coffee for myself! I usually order their iced latte with agave sweetener. The interior is quite small and cramped, so I'm not sure if this is a good study spot. In addition, the lines can get long to the point where customers are waiting outside of the door. That's how good the coffee is! Overall, my experience has been generally good and I'm a fan of their coffee and service.

    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.

    Hojicha and matcha latte
    Tiffany Y.

    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.

    Flat White
    Jaimi L.

    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!

    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!

    line umbrellas
    Jessica G.

    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!

    Ashley V.

    This place literally is a nook! So cute and tiny with ceremonial grade matcha! Today we tried the island and strawberry matcha. So amazing and you could really taste the quality. Service was quick and friendly! They were also able to make my drinks less sweet and still delicious. Apparently it gets busy because they offer umbrellas for when you stand in line!

The matcha itself has a strong, authentic taste that holds its own while still pairing nicely with the sweetness of the strawberry. The space is just as impressive as the drinks. It has a soft pink aesthetic that feels intentional and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of seating available for working or relaxing. It's the kind of café that makes you want to stay awhile, whether you're on your laptop or catching up with a friend. They also offer free WiFi, which makes it even more practical for longer stays. What really stood out, though, was the service. In a time when many aesthetically pleasing coffee shops tend to fall short on hospitality, this place does the opposite. I was greeted with a warm, genuine smile upon entering, and the staff went above and beyond by bringing my matcha and musubi directly to my table. Small gesture, big impact. Friendly, attentive, and consistent service from start to finish. Overall, this is a spot that delivers on both vibe and substance. I'll definitely be coming back.

I ordered a cold brew with banana foam, and the cold foam was forgotten at first. When it was added afterward, it kind of threw off the whole drink. The final result tasted more like the dreaded coffee-flavored water than an actual cold brew, which is not ideal when coffee should be the main event. The staff is friendly, the menu is COMPLEX, and they have a lot of interesting drinks and other cool items for sale. It's worth stopping by once to check out but based on the drink I had, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. However, one super cool thing is that when they make their ice cubes, they're made out of coffee so that when it melts, it melts down correctly. That's probably the only thing that's bad ass about this place.

The main reason for the 3 stars is the price-to-taste ratio. My wife got a small and I got a large, and the total came out to about $19, which is pretty steep for two coffees. At that price, I was expecting the drinks to taste exceptional. Unfortunately, mine was very acidic and honestly a little difficult for me to finish. I personally prefer a bolder, smoother coffee with more chocolate or rich coffee notes, so this one just wasn't for me. We both got iced coffees. They are both pretty ice heavy my wife actually finished her coffee before me. Normally when we go to coffee places, it takes a while to finish. Nothing negative to say about the staff--they were awesome and very welcoming. My rating is really just based on the price compared to what I felt I got in terms of flavor. However, please go give them a try. They're super friendly maybe you'll like it more than I did.

To be fair, Qamaria is a Yemeni coffee shop, so I probably shouldn't have gone in expecting the matcha to be the star of the menu. Just a heads-up for any other matcha girlies coming specifically for that. That being said, $9 for a matcha is actually insane. At that price point, I'm expecting something that really stands out, and this just didn't for me. I've also tried the brown sugar shaken espresso (4/5), which was definitely on the sweeter side but still pretty good. But again... around $9 for a coffee is kind of wild. One thing I will absolutely give them though: the service is amazing. Everyone I've interacted with has been super kind, welcoming, and attentive, which honestly makes the experience a lot better. The price tag still knocks a star off for me, and another downside is that the music always seems to be SO loud. I like a lively coffee shop, but sometimes it feels like I have to yell just to have a conversation. Overall, the drinks aren't bad, and the service is genuinely great, but between the prices and the matcha being pretty average, I personally don't really get the hype. I'd probably stick to what they're known for rather than coming here specifically for matcha.
