Nook Bakery & Coffee Bar

Nook is my favorite local coffee shop in Philly. I've been coming for years, though I don't get there as often anymore since I've moved further out and have small children. But when I do, the owners still greet me by name and with genuine affection.

A couple of years ago, they prepped an order for breakfast for my wedding party and made it available an hour or two before the shopped opened.

All in all, wonderfully friendly service, delicious coffee and scrumptious fresh muffins (and other baked goods)!

Hands down my favorite coffeeshop in Philly. They easily compete with any new hip shop but with an at home feel. The owners are fantastic, baked goods excellent, and the best mocha I have ever had.

Was there for the first time today and wasn't disappointed at all. The tomato-mozarella sandwich and iced almond milk latte were very fresh and tasty. Not to mention, a nice woman at the register was extremely welcoming and friendly, which definitely made me feel good about this place. I spent there an hour working and it was a pleasure. Will definitely return again!

Lived in the city for 2+ yrs trying diff coffee shops and Nook beats them all everytime! I go every day for a specialty iced coffee, and often can't resist adding a freshly baked muffin, quiche, or sweet treat to my order. Also, the owners and staff are some of my favorite people in town! Amazing!

Excellent pastries! Excellent drinks! Excellent customer service!

This is a nice little place to relax with coffee and pastries. There are many original paintings on display on the walls. I assumed they're from local artists. The barista are knowledgeable about the the coffee as well as the pastries. Their service is friendly and the coffee is great!

There's a cashier there who is super friendly (she was also there when I went about 6 months ago) and always makes me enjoy going. It's always filled with people reading or at business meetings. The chairs aren't the most comfy if you can't score a couch. The window bar stools are the best to people watch.

Coffee is a fair sight better tasting than Sbucks. Service is generally friendly, but can be brusque, probably because the layout of the shop is a disaster: the line is obtrusive to every seat in the house, it's loud, and there's no easy way to browse their goods (you have to get out of line to see any of the food cases).

An interior renovation could transform this shop into an appealing venue, but right now, it's a place that encourages take-out.

great coffee (i got the japanese matcha latte), the almond apricot bar was very tasty and quick and friendly customer service !! just taking off one star because there was much less of a pastry selection that i'd expected, i was hoping to try their lemon poppyseed bar that i've seen good reviews about :(

I visited this place many times while working in Philadelphia. It was the closest coffee place to the office. Staff was always friendly and espresso had a rich taste. I got there all I wanted - a strong coffee and morning chat, 5 stars.
