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.

Cute interior space, but most people when I was here were coming to pick up and/or take to go. Packaging was a bit lackluster and basically just clear cups with a paper sticker on them that dissolved in your hand as your cup became covered in condensation. But you can pay extra for their cuter designed reusable bottles, which ehhhh. I got one of their "Fijian" drinks with lychee jellies, which is like a full proper fruit drink since none of their milk tea options really excited me, and an Oreo smoothie for my boyfriend. We both liked ours and there's not a ton of other options in the area, so this'll do!

100% recommended. If…read moreyou live in the Cedar Valley and haven't been to Panache yet, let this be a sign that this needs to change. The word "hidden gem" gets thrown around a lot, but Panache truly is a hidden gem; I mean that without any exaggeration. We went in for the Deluxe Afternoon Tea; they offer lower tier experiences too, but for a first visit we wanted the full thing. Full disclosure: I am not a tea person. However, the teas at Panache were so good, that I actually purchased a container before we left. There are over 30 flavors of tea, ranging from the most popular flavors to exotic flavors I have never even heard of. The best part? Their teas actually taste like the name of the flavor; not just some vaguely flavored water that many of us are so accustomed to. The food here is delicious, presented in such an elegant manner, and is far more filling than I expected. The service is the kind you don't have to think about; water refilled, teapots topped off, and being tended to before any of us even noticed that they were getting low. We never had to ask for a thing. The music was at exactly the right volume, the space was fancy, and we were relaxed the entire time. This is a family-owned business, and I say that literally; each person working here is related to one-another. Out of every restaurant I've been to in the area, including places that are portrayed as far fancier and more expensive, I genuinely believe that Panache puts more heart into what they do than anyone else, and you can not only see it, but you can also taste it. The only thing that made me sad, is that we were the only table there. A place this good should not have this problem. If you've never tried their individual pies either, do yourself a favor and order some. We've ordered them separately before and they're crafted to a level that is so hard to explain until you try one; perfect amount of filling, flavor, and flakiness. Pro: The service is unmatched. Treated like royalty the entire time, and it never felt performative; just genuine warmth and attentiveness. Combined with the food, the teas, and the atmosphere, this is one of the best all-around experiences I've had at any restaurant. Con: Truly nothing. This place is as perfect as it gets. Tip: You can reserve online through their website; quick and easy. If you have dietary restrictions such as gluten, you can reach out to them and they may be able to accommodate you.
