This place is amazing! The salted Bun is amazing & a must try! The matcha is so rich & not that sweet. We got the strawberry & mango iced matcha latte. I will definitely be coming back.

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 :)

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! 💙
