Nook Bakery & Coffee Bar

Mike and Edna, the friendly duo behind this place, know how to make a repeat customer. The regular coffee is good enough (because ultra-filtered water and a french press are used to brew it), but if you want something different try one of the pour-over coffees. Mike even makes ice-brewed (which is not just a colder version of cold-brewed coffee) in the warmer months. Edna's expertise lies in the baked goods - try her lemon poppy scone or chocolate espresso muffin.

Nook Bakery and coffee bar is a quaint coffee shop located in the heart of downtown. There are only a handful of tables and a few seats for people watching. The coffee menu is standard and includes different types of espressos. They also have chai latte , matcha, hot chocolate, iced tea and hot tea. They also have breakfast sandwiches and paninis. The bakery case has scones, cupcakes and cookies. The owners work a lot and are always happy to accommodate any special requests.

Neighborhood coffee bar with barista quality coffee, home baked goods and fresh squeezed OJ. Worth a block walk from Starbucks for an authentic cup of coffee.
Only complaint is the upholstered seating in need of cleaning.

The owners are very nice people and they roast their coffee beans in the shop. The coffee is excellent. The ambience is very nice. I'm loving The Nook. Thank God it's around the corner from my office. 😉

This is a nice break from the Starbucks of the world. One. Of the only local, non-chain coffee shops in the couple blocks around where I work. The staff is always friendly, and it always looks clean in there. I love coming to this spot for a break in my work day.

The Quiche Lorraine at Nook is incredible! It inspired to me to learn how to make quiche and although it seems relatively simple, the magic is in the crust. Nook has that magic touch and I believe that I have discovered. I can safely say that my Quiche Lorraine is close in comparison to Nook's but that won't stop me from coming in whenever I'm in Philly. Love the vibe of the place and the housemade baked goods are yummy!!!

Walked up and due to Covid they are doing order only. Was greater with a smile and still served a delicious treat with a warm coffee. Service was excellent and extremely fast!

Terrific espresso and treats. The best pumpkin chai served all year long. Edna and Mike are friendly and know all their regular customers.

My go-to cafe whenever I'm in Philadelphia. Great coffee and charming atmosphere. They force you to watch outdated ads every hour to use the wifi (which i always need) but I vote it's a price worth paying

Cozy little coffee shop specializes in great coffee and home made pastry, Great host. Was a pleasure to sit by the window during the cold wintry morning.
