| - The miss' and I went here for lunch today to spend a Groupon I had recently purchased. It's a cosy little coffee/sandwich/pastry shop with plenty of food and drink options. You might pay a tad bit more for lunch than you usually would but you're going to get a great experience.
First off, kudos for the use of Boars Head cold cuts! I ordered the "Leo" sandwich which was basically an Italian sub. It was mighty tasty with ham, capi, salami, pepperoni and provolone on a good-sized hoagie roll. There was also some fresh tomato slices, and instead of the usual shredded lettuce you would get they apply a nice spring mix of greens. The miss' got a turkey pesto sandwich which was mighty tasty. It was so good in fact that I had to beg her just to get a little taste! Both our sandwiches were considered their "specialities", and each cost $7.45 and came with either chips or fresh fruit (we both got the apple). They had basic sandwiches that were a little cheaper. There were also a couple of salads and some daily specials; today's were chili and also a pulled pork sandwich.
There are also tons of coffees and other hot beverages to choose from. The miss' is a huge hot drink fan and she loved her ginger bread latte. I'm not a big coffee fan so I figured I would try the frozen hot chocolate. I took my first sip to find that there was a hint of coffee in it. Even though I will never drink a cup of straight-up coffee, the faint essence that was mixed in with the chocolate made an excellent combination. I was shocked to find that I really enjoyed my drink!
It's a nice local substitute to places like Panera and Starbucks. It cost about the same as a trip to Panera would cost (maybe even a little less, depending on what you order) but the sandwiches were much better. I've had the Italian sandwich at Panera, and I definitely prefer the one from The Nook. While there is a limited food menu compared to Panera, there are a lot more hot drinks to choose from. The staff were very friendly and I was more than happy to eat lunch here and support this little shop. If you are looking for a nice cold cut sandwich or a hot drink to fuel your holiday shopping spree, I would recommend coming to The Nook. Speaking of holiday shopping, did I mention it's conveniently located right across from Birkdale? Definitely give the place a try if you're in the area.
