The Nook Cafe & Bakery

Hands down the best coffee shop I have ever been to! Super retro, cutesy decor, homey, warm space. It brought me back to being a kid again. Guess what? They actually have a working PAY PHONE! Say what! The owner was absolutely superb. I learned a lot about coffee in just the 15-20 mins I was there. She was so informative. Her patio to sit at out-back is to die for. I am just so in love I could go on and on! This is a must see and your lifetime coffee shop.

The Nook Cafe & Bakery, a 90s kid’s dream cafe. I had the pleasure of being served by Tawnee, one of the owners, and you can tell they are passionate about their mission — creating great coffee in an atmosphere that reminds you of simpler times. My wife and I both ordered the Yvonne (iced); a latte inspired by a French almond croissant. On the sweeter side, but to be expected! The cafe features VHS tapes to watch, books to read, and a working pay phone! If you want a coffee shop that has 90s vibes, feels more tangible, and less digital, give them a visit!

Great cafe stop in Gilbert — friendly staff, solid coffee & treats We were already out on a walk in Gilbert, saw The Nook Cafe & Bakery, and decided to stop in and check it out. Super glad we did. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, and everything we ordered was great: a cookie, a smoothie, a latte, and a classic black drip coffee. The latte was smooth, the drip coffee was well-brewed, and the cookie hit the spot. All in, it was $17, which felt like a great value for the quality. If you’re looking for a Gilbert coffee shop with great service and tasty baked goods, I’d definitely recommend The Nook Cafe & Bakery.
