On a corner Cable Car line, it's a scenic palette of San Francisco history. The sounds of rolling on the rails and occasional clangy bell toll. Comfortable cafe' serves very good wine at mildly expensive prices. Full cafe' menu at upscale prices. Worth the effort...to visit this place. Comfortable and private seating.More

Rating for a neighborhood cafe. We have stayed for years when visiting San Francisco in the same place, about a block from the Nook, It’s good for breakfast, granola. Oatmeal, bagels and add ons galore. I personally prefer an omelet with cheese. For lunch or...later, a range of excellent small plates, sandwiches, salads and specials of the day. The Nook was good before, new owners bring new energy and are very friendly. A good place for a glass or more of wine. During the day, tables tend to be occupied by a younger crowd making use of good Wi-Fi. It’s different place in the evening, more of a wine bar atmosphere.More

I got a chicken, avocado, pesto sandwich and the bottomless champagne. I was not aware, but the bottomless option is $18, but the price is not advertised. The only thing mentioned is a single serving, which is $7.50. The sandwich was decent, as was the...small side leafy green salad. A big plus, especially as a transit enthusiast, is that this is at the corner of Hyde and Jackson, so you get the Cable Car turning and passing. Despite that, I still think this place was overpriced and should work on labeling its menu and making it a bit clearer....maybe lower the price, to....just because you're in a trendy-ish part of SF doesn't mean you have to bankrupt people's wallets to be able to enjoy a meal there.More

We stumbled across this little café on-route to Lombard Street. It is a great little café serving a nice range of beverages and snacks. They cook a really good omelette. The service is friendly, the atmosphere relaxed and happy.

We popped into the Nook Café as a last minute idea on a Sunday morning. Plenty of tables both inside and out. You walk up to the bar to order your beverages and meals. They serve the meals at your table when the food is...ready. I had the waffles. My guest had a sandwich. Both were good. A number of regulars seemed to pop in, grab their coffee or meal then continue on their way. But it was a good place to sit and eat as well.More

The nook is a smallish bit of a hangout place, where people eat well prepared and tasty food with some using using their laptops, some sipping at a glass of wine. It’s a pleasant place, amiable, in a non touristy area of Hyde. The menu...includes soups (I’ll post a picture with the wallboard, sandwiches, wine, the top menu item in 2017 was under $11, it does a brisk breakfast building. Lap toppers are asked to avoid the Four chair tables. It’s not a pickup place (we’re young 7O) but the customers are both mind your own business and people glad to have a conversation. It has a few chairs outside, but it’s mostly inside. If you’re in the neighborhood, drop in. I’m rating it high for what it is and being good at that. Don’t expect a 25 course haute cuisine meal.More

I really like this place, on a nice day (for SF) you can sit outside and sip your coffee or eat a sandwich. The coffees are expensive, though they are big. I go here fairly regularly and am always happily pleased but I do feel...as though i'm paying too much for what i'm actually drinking/eating.More

Coffee and nibbles during the day and a candle lit wine bar at night. Great place for a quick bite during the day....helpful staff, inside and outside seating, number of singles sitting and working away. We had sandwiches for lunch...wide choice.

It isn't a big restaurant but it's or fancy. plain tables, some internet users, a meeting place, we've met some interesting people there.

A nice little hole in the wall to duck in and enjoy a good cup of coffee on a rainy afternoon. The sandwhiches looked good, so we decided to have lunch too. We both expected a little more flavor, but overall good.

I love coming here when visiting San Francisco because I feel like a native. This is a neighborhood place with a casual vibe. The food is fresh and the service friendly. I've been here for breakfast, lunch, and an end-of-day snack and glass of wine...over the years. I've been happy each time. There is no pretension here, just good food.More

After a climb up an down chinatown, this little treat, is a great spot for a rest and a coffee, and perhaps a sandwich. Loads of local with laptops, working, studying or even dating? Take it all in over freshly brewed coffee.
