    Nickel and Lox*

    The Nook continues to be one of my favorite brunch spots in Tucson. Always friendly staff, the coffee is delicious, and the blueberry scones continue to be my favorite breakfast pastry! Never a disappointment!

    Corn cakes with carnitas
    Elizabeth O.

    Came with a friend and it was good. Service was okay but it was very busy. We ordered the breakfast tamale pie, poblano breakfast sandwich and scones. Tamale pie was different and smaller than when I had previously gotten it, so I would not get it again. There were also issues with temperature. The "tamales" were hot and were more like slices of cornbread but good. The eggs were cold and carnitas was chewy and way overcooked. My drink was delicious. I tried my friend's breakfast potatoes and they were okay. Nothing to write home about and needed more seasoning. He did enjoy his food tho. Scones were the best thing on the table. Absolutely divine . Had a great crust, biscuity and scrumptious. I would definitely order these again.

    Scones, and my fellow foodies vittles!

    After having my blood pressure raised by the pretense that is Time Market....Nook was a blessing... Smack dab in the middle of DT Tucson on Congress, pretty much forget about parking your car close by unless you pay. Ambiance/Cleanliness- Excellent...white walls, wood accents-airy, well lit, with a welcoming and warm character. 4 stars Service-acceptable...right in the middle, nothing noteworthy. 3 stars Food-Fine meal! Get the scones! Proper scones, ours had fresh blueberries and the most excellent crust. I had the poblano sausage breakfast sandwich which was delicious, hearty and savory without being too heavy. Got the hashed potatoes ...decent, but forgettable. 4 stars

    Breakfast burrito

    Incredibly accommodating and excellent food! We have a nook in phx but not sure if they're affiliated because seemed like totally different food. Came here for breakfast at like 8:30 on a Sunday and it was not too busy though it picked up! I got a breakfast burrito but subbed avocado for eggs, my husband got a traditional breakfast with bacon, we shared cinnamon roll griddle cakes, and my son had fresh fruit and shared some of our meals too! Service was good! And food was amazing, huge portion sizes. My husband said best pancakes he's had and they're definitely up there for me too. Cute in here as well and I love the outside area as well! Would come again next Tuscon visit!

    Located in downtown Tucson, it was easy access from our hotel and a modern menu with a great staff. Food was enjoyed by all and it gets better as time went on. We'll definitely try this restaurant in our future travels. Highly recommend. Felt like sitting in our local restaurants in Vegas. So glad we tried. Good ambiance and good feeling.

    There is no place I would rather have breakfast in Tucson than at Nook. I love sitting outside and having an amazing meal. This time I had the honey-chipotle carnitas Benedict and it was so flavorful. Our waitress was also friendly and the place was clean. Nook has my highest recommendation.

    I rarely get downtown, but met some friends for brunch at Nook. I had never been here shockingly! It felt very popular on arrival with a wait, but I had made a reservation... score extra for permitting reservations. The hostess at the front seemed a smidge cranky when we arrived as when I checked in and said we had an 11A rez, she barked 'is your whole party here, because we don't seat unless everyone is here'. It was the way she said it and the audacity of me checking in prior to everyone's arrival. Not generally an overly sensitive person - and initial greeting is key Miss Hostess. Nonetheless we were seated and had a truly wonderful brunch. Loved the menu items, they felt super unique and different or at minimum a different spin on a traditional brunch/breakfast item. We started with some Latte's and I will tell you to hard pass on dropping money there. The milk was barely warm and they just didn't taste that great. We also got the protein carrot bread to share and it was REALLY delicious. Made up for the espresso drinks and cranky hostess. We waited nearly 45 minutes to get our breakfast which seemed kinda long so thank goodness for the carrot bread. My husband got the steak/eggs and loved it; friends got benedicts and omelet's and love their dishes. I had the Tamale Pie and it was absolutely flavorful and delicious. Our server was wonderful, kept our water carafe full and checked on us just enough.

    Breakfast Tamale Pie
    Caitlin S.

    I finally tried Nook and have no idea why I've waited so long. Everything was amazing and the service was great. We started out with the warm blueberry scones for the table and I ordered the breakfast tamale pie for my entree. Both were heavenly and the perfect pairing of sweet and savory. The price point was reasonable and service nicely paced, even during a busy Sunday brunch. I will definitely be back.

    Great service once you get past the host stand Food was delicious Parking was atrocious Felt like home Decor looks very Instagram ready if that's your thing

    Berries and cream mimosa
    Gretchen P.

    Very busy on weekends (at least midday). No reservations same-day, but I'd recommend making one a day or two ahead of you know your plans. We got an omelette and the ensalada Mexicano. Both were large portions and very fresh and filling. A bit of a wait for food, but we were also there at a busy time.

    Breakfast burrito with steak + strawberry matcha. Absolutely delicious

    8/8 would come here again. The only issue is coming here on the weekends. I tried for months getting in but they don't seat very fast. That's ok, came on a Monday. Food was really good and severs are also attentive. Would definitely come back again.

    This restaurant was hard to fine. The name gives credence to the location as it is a literally nook, comfortably tucked away from view in a sunny courtyard. The food did not disappoint. I had the hanger steak and eggs for my entree. The steak was perfectly cooked and accompanied with a chimichuri that mixed in chipotle pepper for a smokey taste and a homage to the desert southwest. The other surprise was the Hawaiian mimosa that included pineapple juice, coconut run and grenadine with the champagne. Amazing flavors. I will be returning the next time I am in Tucson. The service was also very pleasant.

    The Godfather Benedict
    Sandi R.

    My son was here visiting so the foodie in me was game. He said it was the best breakfast he's ever had in his life. We both had the Benny. Service and mimosas were also spectacular. I'll definitely find an excuse to come back to Nook!

    Pancakes, Scambled Eggs, Bacon and Potatoes. It was delicious!

    I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit Unicorn Zebra since it's been on my list from…read morethe time they opened. It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

    It remains a favorite, alas no more a secret. We were hankering for a spontaneous post-ATC-theater…read moredrink and this venue popped back into my head. Same charms, different bartender, and new summer (May) craft cocktails that have become quite substantial (see pic of double-sided menu). Though we arrived at 4:10 (right after their usual 4p opening) on a Saturday, no happy hour, but we were first patrons and grabbed the big bay window. We are both on a mezcal discovery kick and ordered the Black Cathedral ($16) and the Girl Dinner ($16). Each was as described (pic) and delicious. We had dinner plans and needed to leave at 5:15 - just as things were picking up. We'll definitely be back sooner.

Super cute bar amazing staff from the point of check-in to the bar. Mainly cocktails, beer and wine. You might see a couple of small plates of nuts or olives nothing major.

No questions asked the owner/manager even said, "The bar is probably better place to sit! " Awesome night out thank you so much. This was a treat!

I was disappointed that I didn't hear more Christmas music, but I guess I should've went to the Charlie Brown Christmas show for that. The performers were extremely talented, and the host did a good job too. I got a hot chocolate, which was okay, as well as the mixed nuts, which were also okay. My large party also tried the popcorn, and it was a bit stale. I was saddened to see that there are no longer charcuterie boards on the menu, leaving only and truly "small bites" that don't really hit the spot. The chocolate covered pretzels were the only thing I ate, which I would order again. I really like the century room , I just hope they make revisions to the menu to really make it the whole experience!
