Beautiful little spot for a cup of coffee and tasy treats in bustling center city west. Fantastic art. They also have roasted coffee. Unfortunately, this location has a large step up to get in, getting inside is not easily accessible for people with mobility challenges.

Hidden gem in the downtown. Huge selection of unique coffee blends. Very happy that we stumbled upon this place.

I spent a few months in PHL and this is hands-down the highest quality coffee shop in town. But apart from that, the nicest owners you can imagine. I don't know how they do it, but they remember all their clients and make them feel welcome and appreciated. It's an absolute standout.

Very friendly barista served us great coffee and hot chocolate. Lemon raspberry bar was tasty, chocolate croissant was decent. Seating was very awkward, not arranged like in the pictures here. Felt like they had pushed everything against the wall to clean maybe?

Went to this coffee shop after seeing great reviews. Did not disappoint. Ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and hazelnut syrup. It was the best!! Locals who saw me with the coffee raved about it too- that’s how you know it’s ?

Maybe I had on too much black or I was simply too black. But, I was ignored. Blatantly if you ask me. Headed to a coffee shop that had more appetizing looking pastries and desserts.

Recently ordered coffee beans from Nook after doing a bit of research on different coffee shops in the Philadelphia area. Very, very impressed by the quality of the beans as they made an excellent cup of coffee freshly ground in my chemex. Just as impressive as the coffee, however, was the customer service. I received a handwritten note from Mike and Edna thanking me for my order and explaining how they chose to include a sample pack of coffee beans based on the flavor profile of the ones in my order. I have ordered a lot of tea and coffee from different shops across the country and have never experienced such care and attention to detail. I highly recommend you check them out, and I’m looking forward to ordering more from them in the future.

This is the best coffee shop in Center City and possibly all of Philadelphia. They care about high quality coffee and bake AMAZING muffins and pastries in-house. I laugh when I take a right out of Nook and see an army of people waiting for their Starbucks orders when they could do much, much better at Nook!

A great little find near Rittenhouse square! I definitely recommend the quiche and cheesecake brownie bar which I’ll most certainly return to try again!
Just a fantastic place that epitomizes Philly's quaint vibe (in a good way) pretty well. Excellent coffee, high quality beans, great location, and the owners are very friendly. Nook is also one of those place where you can find coffee/beans from Yemen, which is tragically very rare these days.Highly recommended!

Employees were so sweet and seemed to know regular customers by name. Coffee and quiche were great. Only downside is the seating situation - it's really only one long bench with a couple of side tables in front of it. If you're wanting to grab a delicious coffee and quick bite to go, this is your spot.

This is a terrific coffee house and bakery. I for one appreciate small businesses and this is one of my favorites. The proprietors are great and produce quality coffee and baked goods. In fact I had them prepare my most recent birthday cake-- delicious and a favorite of the late Queen Elizabeth. Give The Nook a try!

I just recently discovered that I can order coffee beans online. I am so psyched because I live in Delaware and aren't able to get to Philly often enough to get my coffee fix. Not only do my shipments come extremely fast, they are accompanied by wonderful hand written letters and samples. I have coffee loving friends, so I gifted a few of them a bag of coffee and they all have lost their minds. So please know that you have a forever customer from Bear!!! Sign me up to be the very first member of the "Coffee of the Month Club"! I love you guys...oh..and I love your coffee too! Ebony, Bear, DE

Nook roasts some of the most flavorful coffee in the city—certainly in Rittenhouse Square. The baked goods are also fantastic. I especially love the muffins (e.g., the oatmeal golden raisin muffin). Thanks so much!
Needs music. WXPN would be great.
