Across the reviews, Café Nook comes across as a cozy and charming spot with cakes baked in house that are fresh and flavorful and a coffee program featuring a medium roast with a smooth finish; the vibe is quiet enough for work or chatting with friends without feeling silent, and the staff are consistently friendly and helpful about the menu and services; the menu blends traditional Korean desserts with unique flavors like salt bread and hojicha latte, while cake slices are described as light, airy, and generously sized and drinks such as matcha and latte are well made with attractive latte art; a few items like the Earl Grey cake may lack flavor, but the overall experience invites return visits to explore more of the menu.
Absolutely loved my visit to Café Nook! The iced banana latte was amazing, & the chestnut sweet potato cake was rich, decadent, & so delicious. The café has such a cozy, warm atmosphere, & the staff made the experience even better with how friendly & welcoming they were. Highly recommend!
an extremely cute place!!!! their cakes look so unique!
i got a salt bread & a strawberry matcha. the salt bread was really good & indeed lives up to its name. it feels almost too salty to be eaten even in moderation however (but that's not the cafe's fault i think that's just the concept of a salt bread lol). the bread itself is really nicely baked & there was cheese inside which added a nice touch.
the strawberry matcha had the perfect balance between sweet &'matcha'. the only thing i'd say is that it felt quite light. light in the sense that 1) it felt a bit too watery for a milk-based drink 2) however there was no dairy/milky aftertaste so that was pleasant!
overall a cute cafe with a very nice/warm atmosphere :)
Very cute & cozy cafe!!
The cakes are made in house so they're fresh & tasty! Various different flavors too!!
The coffee beans they use tastes like a medium roast & it doesn't have that bitter/burnt aftertaste making it very delicious (I had two coffees myself!!)
It's not too loud but also not too quiet so you can get some work done in peace or talk with friends.
The employees are also very nice & will answer any questions you have about the menu & other services
Such a cute little place to visit. 100% recommended the salt bread! Place gave me vibes from animal crossing. Will be back to try more of menu item for sure! Thank you thank you!
We visited Café Nook on a Saturday around lunch-time. It's a relatively new café in the Plateau but appears to be well-loved. The décor was cute with some plushies here & there, as well as a post-it note wall filled with little notes from visitors. The music playing wasn't too loud so it's a place you can study at or have a conversation with friends. Another big plus was that the bathroom was very clean.
The staff were very kind, knowledgeable, & took great care to ensure the cakes & drinks came out perfect! Being a Korean dessert café, they had many traditional cakes & patisseries, but also some unique flavours such as injeolmi cake (Korean sweet rice cake). Their drink menu is extensive & very tempting, including strawberry matcha & nut milk-based beverages.
We tried the matcha latte, hojicha latte, earl grey cake slice, & moka cake slice. The cake slices were a tad pricier than average, but I would say it's justified as the slices are significantly more generous. Both cake flavours were light & airy, & not too sweet (asians will know this is the greatest compliment). The latte prices are in-line with most cafés in the city. Matcha & hojicha lattes are often a hit-or-miss in the city due to sub-par tea quality, but Café Nook's tea quality was great & the beautiful latte art was a cherry-on-top.
We will definitely be returning whenever we're in the area to try more of their extensive menu.
The Café is super cozy! I tried the strawberry shorcake & I must, it's probably one of the best I've tried in Montreal. I also tried their Earl Grey cake & it was just delicious 😍
Their cake are so light & full of flavour. You can really taste the earl grey & strawberry in each bite. Will come again for sure! 💙
I was strolling around the Plateau area & I came across Cafe Nook. It truly is a gem. Their matcha is so good, & comforting. My friend Ben ordered all of their matcha products because it was so good. The whole cafe feels super cozy & perfect for relaxing & studying. & Alex, who works there, is so handsome & friendly, which somehow makes the experience even sweeter. Definitely a lovely spot to visit.
adorable korean cafe with spacious seats! the atmosphere is super cute & their menu has original items like salt bread & hojicha latte. the cake slices were slightly expensive $7-$9 but nothing too crazy.
perfect for lounging & snacking on some yummy pastries!
Personnel courtois & menu intéressant. On y retrouve des gâteaux super appétissants à différentes saveurs. Ils sont frais, moelleux & pas trop sucré. Il y a aussi des saveurs/desserts trendy de Corée pour ceux qui aiment découvrir.
