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.
Editor's Tips
- 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.
- The Extras:
- 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.

Quaint and Quiet
by Julie Dyer , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch
This is the most enchanting coffee shop on Nob Hill. Right next to where the cable car takes its loud turn down Hyde, Nook is really just that, a little nook. Cozy wood benches and chairs feel like little personal cubicles all lit by candlelight. The staff are polite and poignant, and definitely not your typical run-of-the-mill baristas. The prime times here are middle morning for the bagels and free WiFi, and late evening for drink specials and wine selections. In reality, there is really no bad time to enjoy this little gem.
- Pros: Exceptional variety of food and drinks
- Cons: None

great coffee shop
by marrkoss at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: cute, nice neighborhood

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!!
- Pros: ambiance and coffee
- Cons: a bit of a wait, a little pricey
