The Nook is a treasure for the Town of Fairhaven. The owners have taken great care to provide a simple and perfected menu, that extends quality coffee and pastries, all made from scratch. Although their offerings are delicious, the Nook transcends being a mere coffee shop. It is a community center. Please support this couple in their worthy endeavor! read more

Just randomly stopped in one day and was greeted by one of the most friendly humans I've ever encountered. My gal and I were walked through many samples of different coffees as if we were having a 5 course meal at a fancy restaurant. Highly highly recommend stopping in. Try one of the Nitro brews if you're into strong coffee, it's some of the smoothest I've ever had! read more

This little gem on Washington St. is a must visit place. Great clean place with the most passionate baristas around. There are quite a few choices of coffees and each cup is brewed to order, unless you would like a less expensive cup of perked coffee, which is still a fantastic cup. The cheese rolls, linguicia rolls and other baked goods are to die for... Do yourself a favor, stop by, sit around in super comfy barrel chairs, and become an immediate fan of this super place and warm welcoming people.. It is fantastic to have this great place right in my neighborhood... read more

My family and I were visiting from Seattle and I wanted an iced coffee, so my in-laws told pointed me in the direction of The Nook because it was two blocks from their house. They'd never been in but had heard good things, so my guy and I wandered over. I'm SO glad we did. It was so good, that I came back a couple of hours later with my daughter. And we came back every day we were in town! I'm a coffee drinker, so the Blue Devil Brew was my choice each day: strong but not burnt. It was delicious black (like my soul...ahahahahah!!!) as well as with a wee splash of cream. My daughter - an occasional coffee drinker - tried a couple of the specialty blended drinks - including the root beer buzz! - but ended up loving the Local Buzz best. And my guy? He never drinks coffee because he doesn't like it. Until the Local Buzz. It kinda converted him, which is a problem because NO ONE makes anything like this is Seattle! So he's really bummed now that we're home. We also nommed various baked goods: the different filled rolls, a cannoli, and a chocolate croissant. They were all really yummy, but the linguica roll? Holy howdy, that was so so so good. Again, we can't find anything like that out here (hell, finding good linguica is nigh on impossible...). All of the staff were warm and friendly and efficient, and the space is small but really inviting. I guess if there is one criticism I have it's that cream and sweetener aren't available for customers to add themselves. Maybe this is a New England thing because the same thing happened at some other coffee places we went to in western MA, but man, it's awkward trying to tell someone just how much cream you want (I can't even imagine how problematic it'd be for someone who likes sweetener). Anyway, I really look forward to coming back to Fairhaven for a visit and coming by for my coffee. In the meantime, my guy has tasked me with trying to replicate the Local Buzz for him. Sigh.... read more

Don't get what all the hype is about. The menu is quite small and overpriced ($10 for two decent coffees). The baked goods that are being mentioned in other comments is minimal. The people who run it seem like really nice people and it's a good environment there...I just wish the options were greater and the prices were a bit lower. read more

Cute place! Very upbeat atmosphere! Love the coffee. Great spot to grab a snack to take along my walks or to the nearby walks.

A little pricey for dinner, but worth it. There breakfast and lunch meals are quick and delicious. The staff is always friendly and attentive! Stop in and give them a try, you won't be dissatisfied!!! read more

I stopped by to grab a coffee and a roll. Everything was very good and the service was great. Everyone there seemed excited and happy. The roll was good, a little too salty for my taste, but 5 stars nevertheless! I will definitely be back! read more

Everything is delicious and the owners are awesome! Sticky buns are out of this world, iced chai is so good. Great atmosphere

Love this place and make the 20 minute trip every Sunday. Their linguica and cheese rolls are bomb as are there iced lattes.

Super cute place! Great service and delicious baked goods. It's located in a quaint part of Fairhaven. Definitely worth the trip if you're traveling and a great addition to the neighborhood for locals. read more

Hidden little gem in Fairhaven. Nice people with excellent coffee. If you want to treat yourself, their specialty drinks like the mocha smash and local buzz are dynamite! read more

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcake. Need I say more? Ordered 7 dozen cupcakes for a surprise graduation party (already stressful enough!) and The Nook made this process the easiest I could imagine!! I also frequent here for coffee, bubble tea, and of course linguica rolls! The hardest part about purchasing cupcakes from here is picking a flavor!! too many to choose. read more

My friend suggested I try this place. I grabbed a few cupcakes and a blueberry muffin and an awesome iced coffee it was delicious. Awesome people. read more

The people here are epic, so is the coffee. Good for chatting hanging coffee and so e baked goods. Also great for trying some old retro gaming. read more

Friendly staff & cheese rolls were delicious. Cold brew coffee was good but very expensive and the girl said they were out of reg iced coffee which i thought was strange. Was not that impressed but maybe showed up on a bad day. Will try again. read more

I am fairly new to Fairhaven and walked into The Nook on a whim. Having lived in several more metropolitan places I was missing the "cool coffee" shop. I walked in and was greeted by Paul the owner and had entertaining and fun conversation. They also have enough confidence in their goods as they will offer up samples for you to try. Considering the South Coast is generally blue collar and not very adventurous when it comes to dining. I love it and they now have a permanent customer in me. read more

I absolutely love this place! Not only is the food and coffee great but the people and environment is even better. For instance, I had knee surgery a few months ago and one time shortly after that I went there and one of the servers went out of his way to hold the door and help me carry my coffee to my car. This same kindness and customer service has been shown every time I've been. And if you go, the Local Buzz is a MUST HAVE! read more

The Staff is wonderful and very kind. 90% of the time the owner is there and you get a warm welcome from him. The food and drinks are delicious (linguicia cheese rolls are be best). The atmosphere is homey and fun! read more

I heard good things about this place and always support local businesses whenever possible. I walked in one morning expecting a nice quiet place to have breakfast and mentally get ready for the day. As I opened the door, I was greeted by heavy metal music blasting at full volume. Yikes! At 10 AM. Really? I ordered and asked if they could turn it down or change the music. I was told I had to ask the boss who was sitting at one of the tables, having a really loud conversation (to be heard over the music) with his friend. When I asked about the music he said "No! When you come in here, you have to listen to what I want to listen to and I want to listen to this.""How about some quiet jazz?" I asked. "No. I like this and it's staying." I should have walked out at this point but I was too shocked I guess with his extremely unprofessional behavior. Is this the new business plan? Has customer satisfaction been replaced with the boss's desires? If you're looking to relive the experience of your petulant teenager sitting in the living room with his friends, heavy metal blasting away and talking back to you, this is the place for you! read more

Delicious brews, not a huge selection in decaf, but iced chai latte was a perfect refreshing alternative. Linguica and cheese roll was irresistible with linguica slices and gooey cheese stacked inside a soft, buttery bun. Cute, tucked away place with a neighborhood feel, indoor and outdoor seating, quality brews and none of the lines of that other place near UMass. read more

Awesome coffee with awesome service to compliment it! Couldn't say enough good things about them

Oh boy where to start?! So with it being Becky season (aka Fall) I have heard nothing but how amazing The Nook's Pumpkin Spice Latte is, so I had to drive there and taste it myself! WOW! It is amazing! I brought my mom with me (she's visiting from South Carolina) and she isn't a huge fan of espresso, the owner came and talked to her and they came up with a "mild Americano" that she absolutely LOVED! The coffee is just really, really good and being a former Starbucks employee I'm pretty picky when it comes to coffee! I will however say that whenever I do go there is little to no baked goods and the prices are a little bit on the more expensive side. They do give a card that gets stamped every 10 dollars you spend but you have to spend $100.00 (or more depending on your order) to get a free drink of your choice, to me that's a little insane considering I can spend that at Starbucks and be able to get a few free drinks and food. Other than that the place is great and the atmosphere is welcoming. Will surely be back before PSL's disappear!! read more

Was visiting from DC for a few days and found Nook three blocks from where I was staying. Really, really good coffee and friendly people running it. read more

The coffee is amazing. Staff are super helpful and very nice. Very clean and comfortable. Also the linguist cheese rolls rule.

This is a place in our neighborhood so I really want it to succeed, but I was a bit disappointed. The owners are passionate about their coffee for sure, but as a strictly decaf drinker the options for some of the more interesting things are limited. The iced decaf latte and my husband's hot decaf latte were both excellent. Where I was disappointed was with the cupcake and brownie we bought. Neither were anything special, and the icing on the cupcake was supposed to be buttercream but there was no taste of butter at all, just an overly sweet shortening taste. The selection was also very limited with only 2 items in the display case. The server must have been new, even though we waited a month or so before trying the place, wanting to avoid the break-in period. She was not organized, had trouble with our order and gave me someone else's coffee drink. I'm hoping these issues will smooth out and I hope they do well, and we'll continue to try them and hope for the best. read more
