Such a lovely find! Small but cozy--love the relaxing decor! Excellent service. Clean, has wifi, a washroom, delicious drinks (try the cinnamon plum tea!), baked goods, newspapers and loyalty cards. No stairs to worry about. NOTE: The only drawback is minimum parking (three spots in the front); there's always street parking I suppose. Didn't affect me because I took the bus.
The Nook is a very nice little coffee shop around the corner from the hamilton GO station. The first thing you will notice is the very small space this shop operates in. But don't worry you will not feel claustrophobic. The woman working behind the counter is very friendly and the atmosphere is very inviting! The menu is very simple to understand with prices that are in line with most shops.
The reason I came here was for none other than the Turkish coffee. This is one of the few(if not the only!) shops in Hamilton who offer Turkish coffee on their menu, so definitely something to check out. The coffee was very pleasant to drink and had a prominent cardamom spice flavour that is not overpowering. I also had a vegan chocolate chunk Blondie which was very moist and delicious.
This cafe is "zero waste", so everything they serve your to-go food and drinks in are either recyclable or compostable. Even the "plastic" cold beverage containers are compostable.
The Nook is a coffee shop that you will not want to come back on occasion, but as a regular. Great hospitality goes a long way!
Addition 2 weeks later: the menu keeps me happy, the hospitality keeps me coming back. Love it!
A lovely quaint cafe with staff who are easy to talk to and coffee that is fantastic to drink.
I love ordering their Turkish coffee, with just the right blend of cardamom to give it an amazing aroma you won't find a coffee like it in the city.
Highly recommended!
