About Cafe Nookie
Cafe Nookie is a small coffee window in Surry Hills that draws in passersby. It's the sort of hole-in-the-wall you could easily walk past, which is half the charm. The tagline, "where bold coffee meets good vibes", suits it well.
The coffee is the main draw. We hear the drinks list is varied, with plenty of trendy options alongside the old favourites. The biscoff latte is a seasonal winter special that people say isn't overly sweet, the matcha has its fans, and lattes feature on the menu. The hot honey chai also gets a mention on cold days.
Then there's the food. The cookies come up often, especially the Nutella one made in house, and one regular stops by for banana bread on the morning commute. The cheese croissant and other pastries have their followers, and one local raves about the cheesecake tiramisu. Breakfast, brunch and lunch are all on offer, along with a few homemade desserts, and a Reuben sandwich has been singled out as a good one.
What people seem to remember most is the welcome. The owner is described again and again as kind, chatty and patient, and we've heard of one customer with a card payment hiccup who was looked after without any fuss. The staff are friendly too, and one local called the little cafe "so easy and welcoming".
You can dine in or take away, and delivery, kerbside pickup and catering are available, so it works for a quick coffee or an office order. There's seating, including outdoor seating, and it's good for kids. The hours are shorter on weekends, so check before you head in.
For a bakery in Surry Hills where the coffee is strong and the people behind the window are friendly, Cafe Nookie is an easy stop on the way to wherever you're going.
