The Nook

I’ve always enjoyed cozy little bookstores and cozy little coffee shops and I’ve always enjoyed them more when it turns out they blend together. Plain little shop with lots of options for every type of genre you might be looking for with delicious baked good Tempting coffees and cocoas for you to find a seat and enjoy your new delicious book. I will be back 🥰

The Nook is an amazing bookstore, however I the owners really out did themselves with their new addition, The Reader’s Cup. I am a latte lover and I had the BEST sugar free vanilla almond milk latte of my life today. I have a lot of allergies and I appreciate their milk selection for that reason. They use coffee from Fat Cup in Waterloo. Fat Cup supplies the freshest, best tasting espresso and coffee you can get. The environment is elegantly decorated with a great selection of their many homemade products sprinkled throughout. I really appreciated the cozy, warm space on a cold rainy day. If you’re coming to work on a laptop, so far I’ve had no problem finding a conveniently placed outlet in their seating areas. My only feedback would be that I wish there were seat cushions available for those of us who are sitting a long time on the wooden chairs/benches. The staff is incredibly nice and made me feel very comfortable. The restroom is private and spacious, definitely big enough for someone who uses a walker or wheelchair to use. I will definitely be a frequent flyer here.

Love the selection of books. Very different vibe here. Definitely will be back. Staff is amazing and friendly. The smell when you walk in brought back so .any memories.

The Nook is such a treasure in downtown Cedar Falls! The shelves are filled with so many great books that it’s hard to leave without finding something new to love. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it’s the perfect spot to browse, discover, and get lost in stories. We’re so grateful to have such a wonderful bookstore in our community!

Thee sweetest of book shops. They have a wonderful selection + will put in an order for you if needed. I also love the variety of gift options! The perfect spot to wander through or enjoy a moment with your nose in a book!

Fairly priced books and great coffee! They also serve pastries and have a small selection of breakfast items! The only downside is it’s a small building and very popular, so it gets crowded fast! (That could also be because I went on a Saturday morning)

The Nook is such a welcoming environment! The staff are genuinely excited about books which made the experience even better. This place is so much more than a typical bookstore, as they have candles, stickers, vases, and so much more. This is the cutest bookstore i have ever been to and it has been my favorite so far on the iowa indie bookshop tour!
