AtmosphereCoffee
Delighted with this pleasantly-cozy place. Coffee quality is really good and really well crafted. The veggie crepe is probably the best I ever had. The balance between the veggies is mouthwatering 😋. The decor is of great taste. Really well priced. Couldn't have had a better experience! Thanks Nook 🙏
Very cute place! Super cozy and with quite the choice of sweet and salty crêpes! It only really sits two people, plus two more on spare stools, but the crepes are ok to eat "on the go". There was quite few people coming to take out crepes and drinks while we stayed.
The crepes are more like a russian pancake in my opinion, and this works amazingly with the savory fillings (less exciting with the sweet toppings).
Owner is super nice and welcoming!
Such a lovely place!
The crepes are delicious, with a great choice of both sweet and savoury options, which makes it easy to find something you’re in the mood for. The coffee is also very good, with plenty of variety.
But what really makes this place special is the service. It genuinely feels like you’re visiting a good friend — you’re welcomed, noticed, and appreciated every time.
I believe many people come back not just for the food, but for that feeling of being a truly welcome guest.
Highly recommended 💜
