The Nook Hampstead

One of the best mini cafes around! The hot chocolate is some of the best in London. The milkshakes are sublime and the coffee superb. The staff are also always delightful. My favourite place! Wish they had a sit down area as I’d definitely spend more time there but then I guess it wouldn’t be a ‘nook’!

Relatively small dessert shop situated by the park; it was a cute little spot to go to. Really ventured out with having two kinds of desserts, but nevertheless, I was satisfied. I enjoyed my milk chocolate milkshake. Tastes very rich and chocolatey, not overwhelmingly sweet. Also went for the stracciatella game ice cream which was lovely with the chocolate shavings. Slightly pricy, but as a one-time treat, it’s ok. Service here was up to standards

I’ve been these so many times that I thought I might come here to leave a review! I love the hot chocolate (43%) and milkshake (55%) - choosing the % of chocolate is amazing! I also like the ice cream (vanilla and pistachio), lemon drizzle cake and salted caramel shortbread. Though I must say the lemon drizzle cake portion seems to be getting smaller and when I first ordered the salted caramel seemed the be the whole square, then the lady cut it in half and I was ☹️ Other than that, food quality is amazing, staff is friendly and I love eating in the Heath, relaxing with the view ☺️

I thought it was about time I left those guys some feedback. We absolutely love The Nook. We've been customers since they opened the café and quite honestly, we can't be happy with a coffee from anywhere else, as it's never quite Nook's quality!!! I am a "Mocha person", and I love that they give you the choice of having different cocoa strengths (personally I prefer my mocha not too sweet). My husband always sings praises to their flat white and capuccinos! And what to say about the staff and customer service? We can't complain, in fact we always enjoyed going in and having a quick chat - and I find that even when they are super busy (ahhh Hampstead Heath on weekends 😱) the staff is still very pleasant, efficient and helpful. They are also so good with our two chatty (sometimes grumpy) toddlers! Big shout out to Agna & Callum, who have been there a while now and are always super friendly. But really, all of them are great. Keep up the amazing work!! We love you! Sabrina, Dmitrij & the boys

I tried their chocolate and peanut butter milkshake with 70% cocoa and was the best milkshake ever. It was super rich and thick, you can tell they use good quality chocolate and it's like drinking delicious melted chocolate. You can choose the percentage of cocoa. Amazing! Will need to have it more times and come back when weather gets cold to try their hot chocolates, must be great!
