Enjoy exceptional service and a friendly atmosphere at Nook. It's a wonderful spot for enjoying a delicious meal while catching up with old acquaintances over lunch. Nook is located just south of the Prima County Public Library on East Congress Street. It opened in 2015 and has become a trendy eatery that serves up New American cuisine. Owners Nikki and Matt Thompson along with Todd Anderson are fellow Tucsonans who love their community. Local artists have work showcased throughout this contemporary restaurant. Nook also prides itself on serving up locally sourced food. Try the Godfather Benedict with prosciutto, arugula, poached egg hollandaise and balsamic drizzle for breakfast, or come down during lunch for a green corn tamale pie with cabbage salad. It offers take-out service and is open for breakfast and lunch during the week. This restaurant also serves brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

    Food was amazing but the wait time for your food to be served was unexceptable. Had reservations for 11:15am on a Sunday and did not have food on our table until 12:15. We had tickets to the Nutcracker ballet at 1pm and barely made it on time.

    Been here many times. Simply a very inviting setting from the owners to the employees always welcoming. Not your usual menu which differentiates it from your usual breakfast/lunch. Pancake s? Yes. Burgers? Yes, but so much more.

    The food at this restaurant was absolutely amazing, … but the experience was overshadowed by poor service. It took over an hour to get our meal, which was frustrating - we even had reservations On top of that, the host was unwelcoming and rude. While the quality of the food was great, the slow service and awful attitude from the staff made it difficult to enjoy the meal. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re prepared to wait and dine with good company.

    Stayed downtown Tucson and was looking for a more affordable breakfast alternative that the Leo Kent. Nook came up, so we gave it a shot and were not disappointed. Terrific food and service. Fresh and cooked to order. Highly and heartily recommended.

    We were seated within 3 min of our reservation. The food comes out slowly, however it is excellent.

    We were in Tucson and took our grandson and his girlfriend for brunch at the Nook. It was just the four of us. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. My husband and I had trouble deciding, everything on the menu sounded fabulous, so making a decision was tough. My husband ordered the cinnamon griddle cakes and he absolutely loved them. I had the steak and eggs, and brought most of it home for breakfast the next day. The kids ate parfait, breakfast burrito, folded eggs and blueberry scones and specialty coffees. Amazingly, it didn’t break the bank. Large portions and so very good. Our server was great, and everything came to the table just as we ordered it. Parking in the area was easy for us when we went , which was on a Sunday. We look forward to going back.

    We had a delicious breakfast and it was quite reasonably priced by comparison to other brunch offerings in town. The service was exceptional. The staff is kind, friendly and professional. This place has an interesting and scrumptious take on a blueberry scone. Highly recommended!! Will be coming back again .. and again!

    Excellent food! Best mimosa. We had ham and cheese folded eggs with smash hash, avocado toast & biscuits and gravy. Hard to decide what to order. Can’t go wrong ordering anything from the menu. Best way to end our final Parents Weekend at the U of A.
