What People Are Saying About Nook
The Owner
Nook
Owner
Nook is more than your typical cafe shop, we are a cafe plus. Offering a variety of breakfast items such as belgian waffles, fruit salad, granola, bagel sandwiches, fresh baked pastries, as well as lunch and dinner items like fresh made salads, hot and cold sandwiches, small plates like hummus with warm pita bread, caprese and more.
While we think simple is special, Nook offers cofee drinks, cold beverages and a variety of beer, good wines and sake cocktails for a casual evening out. Nook provides a variety of options so that customers aren't limited to a varied selection. We combine the factors of a cafe and restaurant to create a lounge atmosphere in the evening. At Nook, there is something for everyone at any time, everyday.

In Short
This Russian Hill meeting spot offers light cafe fare with simple, satisfying California ingredients for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Small plates include gourmet cheeses with fig spread and walnut bread, as well as sandwiches, organic salads and daily soups such as spinach basmati. Coffee choices abound, but the real treats are the beer, wine and cocktails, including sake and soju concoctions, mimosas, and more temptations.

This versatile cafe is a great place for a cup of coffee during the day or sake bombs at night. They offer healthier food at the $7-8 range. The staff is friendly-I recommend

Nook is the kind of place that you are scared will one day disappear as the encroaching virus of big-business coffee eats further and further away at the core of america. Ok maybe that is a bit overstated, but seriously Nook is very charming. The waitstaff is a motley bunch but very friendly. The coffee and food are above average, but the ambience exudes 90's beatnik appeal.

Crowded on the weekends, but if you can grab a table the food and ambiance are worth it. The apple and walnut salad is amazing!!

What to Drink:
Be sure to ask for the wine list, an Italian-heavy array of Proseco, whites, reds and even dessert options.
Know Before You Go:
Like its name implies, Nook's small interior is best for two- and three-person groups. Sidewalk tables offer more space --but expect regular rumbles from passing cable cars.

Pick up a drink card and your 10th beverage is free.
Parking:
Short-term street parking is available in front of their garage on Hyde Street.
