About This Place

Nook Coffee Bar, nestled in the heart of Rancho Cucamonga, CA, is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a thoughtfully crafted experience for true coffee aficionados. This charming spot at 11920 Foothill Blvd #160 offers a cozy, minimalist environment that invites you to savor each sip without the distractions of a typical bustling café. While the space is compact, with limited seating inside and a couple of outdoor tables, it perfectly complements the intimate vibe of the shop, making it an ideal stop for a quick, quality caffeine fix or a brief, comforting pause in your day.

What truly sets Nook Coffee Bar apart is its dedication to quality and flavor. Their menu is a delightful blend of classic and creative coffee drinks designed to satisfy both traditionalists and adventurous palates alike. Standouts like the Spanish Latte—rich, creamy, and subtly sweet—are frequently praised for their perfectly balanced intensity. The Cold Brew refreshes with its smooth, robust body, while unique options like the Mexican Chai Latte and the Chagaccino add an exciting twist that coffee lovers talk about long after their visit.

Beyond their exceptional espresso lineup—which includes everything from a velvety Cappuccino and a silky Flat White to indulgent Vanilla and Hazelnut Lattes—the shop offers a curated selection of baked goods. The Almond Danish and flaky Croissant are customer favorites, often enjoyed warm to highlight their buttery, melt-in-your-mouth textures, providing a satisfying complement to the coffee.

Customers consistently share the authentic appeal of Nook Coffee Bar. Erns Valdez emphasizes the superior quality of the beans and the genuine craftsmanship behind every cup, contrasting it favorably against larger chains that sometimes sacrifice quality for speed. Erica Fung captures the shop’s magnetic early-morning crowd, drawn by both the strong, flavorful Spanish Latte and the welcoming, minimalist interior. Lanette Miles raves about the velvety texture of their oat milk lattes and the irresistible pastries, describing a taste so delightful it leaves you craving more.

While some patrons note the small size of the café and occasional wait times during peak hours, these elements only underscore the growing love people have for this special downtown gem. A gentle reminder from visitors like Jhoana Toral about attentive service highlights the shop’s commitment to continuous improvement.

In a city that doesn’t abound with dedicated coffee sanctuaries, Nook Coffee Bar emerges as a refreshing oasis where passion for quality beans and precise preparation shines. Whether you’re craving a robust Espresso Tonic to perk up your afternoon or a comforting Cinnamon Bun paired with a smooth Latte, this cozy nook promises an experience that resonates with genuine coffee craftsmanship and heartfelt customer care.

    My second time here and it's just as good as my first visit. It's a small space and there can be a line and wait. Today there was no line and it's really an enjoyable space to grab. A quick coffee. I like the beans they use and their drinks are really good. Better than a lot of the coffee shops popping up that just slang caffeine and sugar. As a coffee lover this is a legit coffee shop I enjoy coming to. They also sell the local beans they use which is really nice

    The nook way and Spanish lattes were delicious! Went around noon and drinks were made fast and delicious unfortunately the service was not what i expected. Not sure if the barista was having a bad but she was rude when I just asked which drink had whole milk and which had oat milk . Don’t want to stay and enjoy the space inside which looked amazing and minimalist good coffee tho

    I am always a fan of Nook coffee bar. It happened that I was in the area, and craving for their coffee. I came by when they just opened in the morning. I can see that it is a very popular spot as it has a line when it was just barely opened. They have minimalist decorations, and a few tables and chairs to enjoy their coffee inside the store. I ordered my favorite Spanish latte. It came out strong. It was very flavorful; however, still not as good as the one I had in their Torrance location. Will come back again if I happen to be in the area.

    This place is awesome. I ordered the honey oat latte and vanilla oat iced latte. The roast was pretty decent for a small coffee chain. Our lattes had the right balance of espresso, OatMilk and had a decadent; creamy texture that mimicked regular milk. I also ordered the almond danish and had them warm it up. It was the best pastry I’ve had in a while. I ate that thing so fast that I wanted another one. The vibe is chill and laid back. Don’t expect any over the top treatment yet with that being said the customer service was good and the guy at the register was polite. Overall great place.

    Decent spot for coffee - Rancho does not have a lot of coffee spots so I see why many people flock here. The location could be better, it is in a square and there's a gas station outside. The shop inside is small and outside are 2 tables with 2 chairs at each table; it would preferable to just order coffee and leave during busy times. It's not quiet/calm. But you could get away with studying there if its during off peak hours/days. Coffee is a bit sweet but consistent every time I have visited. I usually get their nook cold brew. I tried their lavender matcha - it's ok. Definitely better out there. However, this would be a good choice if there are no other coffee shops in the area to rival... Definitely reminds me of some of the coffee shops in LA - price, sizes, ice, style. Overall, it's a good visit but not worth waiting in line for outside (especially if it's hot outside...).
