Wonderful place to grab a coffee and work or relax in the back area. Dog friendly outdoors. Plenty of seating on a Monday afternoon. Parking is free in the plaza.

One of my favourite coffee shops: delicious well-balanced espresso, availability of unsweetened macadamia milk (a rare find among coffee shops), highly skilled baristas. I love how they make unsweetened matcha with macadamia milk: moderately strong, well stirred, and creamy. Thumbs up to all Nook employees.

A hidden gem with a trendy taste that's hard to find elsewhere. Ordered the Honey Lavender Latte, and it was delicious and smooth, just the right amount of sweetness. The interior is beautifully designed, modern yet cozy, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends or get some solo work done. I was also impressed with the quick service. Definitely coming back for another round or two!

I have been to Nook Coffee a few times now, and it is quickly becoming a go-to spot for me. I have tried both the Spanish Latte and the Strawberry Matcha, and both drinks have their unique charm. The Strawberry Matcha was so good. The balance between the matcha and strawberry was perfect, not too sweet but still smooth and refreshing. Definitely one of the better versions I have had. The Spanish Latte caught me by surprise. It had a bit of a bitter kick at first, but the cinnamon flavor with each sip grew on me and added a nice depth to the drink. Overall, I enjoy this spot and will keep coming back to try more. If you are looking for a solid coffee shop with some great drink options, I would recommend checking it out! Staff is always super sweet and there is a line out the door each time - but they are pretty quick to get the order rollin'! Worth the wait!

Nook Coffee hit exactly what I was craving. The flat white was silky with dense microfoam and a clean, balanced shot. The cappuccino was lighter and airier, and you could clearly feel the difference in texture between the two. That precision matters. I added a single origin cold brew and it was spot on for a light roast, bright and clean with a smooth finish that never turned bitter. My daughters ordered sweetened matcha and loved it. Small, friendly space, quick service, and a team that cares. Big shoutout to Cheyne for being so kind and dialed in at the bar. I’ll be back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nook Coffee Bar is an absolute local gem (tucked in Costa Mesa)! The coffee is excellent — rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted every time. They have such a great array of choices, from classic favorites to creative seasonal drinks. I also love that they’re vegan-friendly with plenty of plant-based options for drinks. The cozy vibe and friendly staff make it even better. 100% recommend this spot for anyone who loves quality coffee and a welcoming atmosphere!

A great place to start off your day with a warm cup of excellent coffee. The coffee place is inside the LAB area, has a small cute seating, and covered with greenery. Highly recommend this place for the coffee, ambiance and well versed options on the menu.

Great matcha cafe with good coffee options. Tough to find a good flat white in the US but Nook has it sorted. It’s in a cute location with lots of community seating for a coloring space. Heaps of options for food and drinks around but definitely stop in here if you’re looking for a coffee and pastry. The blueberry muffin was amazing!

Nice quaint coffee shop in a small business strip location with a cool retro vintage design. Plenty of seating, but it looks like most of their customers are grab and go’s. The staff was nice and fast with their service, especially with their long lines. I ordered the hot Spanish Latte, it was rich creamy and smooth.
