A newer cafe on Main St in EG.
I stopped by recently to grab a cup of Joe & patronage the new cafe on the block. And when I say new cafe on the block, I mean new cafe on the block.
Let's face it... if you know anything about Main St in EG, then you are aware that business come & go faster than one can bat an eye. I'll take it one step further by disclosing that Main St certainly has it's fair share of coffee peddlers. Not to lose focus here on the Nook Coffee House, but the well received Dante's Kitchen is only next door.
I was pleased with the coffee, which appears to be locally roasted. At a glance I observed a map outlining the roaster they sourced coffee from. As a supporter of small & local, I appreciate their approach.
The cafe itself is cute, hip, & probably closer to what one might find in a setting other than EG, which is refreshing as well.
The woman who took my order ensured that my guest & I received a fresh pot, which is more than I can say about many of the coffee shops I have visited. She was obviously aware that the customer's experience & quality of the product are key to returning cliental. It's the little things that can make or break a business & I hope the Nook Coffee House continues to deliver & thrive.
As for the coffee, I found the particular brew that we were served to be on the darker & oilier side. Many folks these days have a fond appreciation for darker roasts, but I personally still prefer the lighter blend that New Englander's typically enjoy. All in all, the coffee was still very pleasing & I plan to make my way over to the Nook Coffee House again real soon. If your in the neighborhood you should too & tell them that Scotty sent ya.
