A cafe on North Street in Bedminster has announced its closing its doors for good this weekend.
Nook, which formerly had another branch in Knowle but closed this at the start of 2024, posted a message to its social media pages, to say: “Nook will be closing after 2.5 years of service in the Bedminster community.
“Unfortunately with the current economy, ever rising costs for hospitality businesses and super-tight profit margins the cafe is simply not financially viable to continue trading.
“I’d like to thank our local Bedminster customers and our super amazing team at the Bristol cafe.
“The current team will be transferring to our Bath cafe and pursuing their own new adventures.
“Our Bath cafe is thriving and will be extending its opening hours until 5pm from May. So that’s 8.30am-5pm Monday-Sunday.
“We will also be having summer residency in Frome at Station Approach from May-September in our horse trailer/smoothie box.”

It went on to say that cafes and hospitality businesses on the look out for second-hand equipment and furniture can contact the team at Nook, who will be selling their second hand wares in the first week of May.
Nook is described as serving up “healthy, nourishing food and drink influenced by the flavours of Aussie beach food”.
The menu includes things like cold press juices, poke bowls, superfood smoothies, acai bowls, buddha bowls, sweet treats, and coffee.
Its Bath cafe is located on Bond Street, and the whole concept of Nook was dreamed up while ‘sitting on a beach in Byron Bay eating poke bowls and drinking cold press juice in the early Aussie summer months of 2018’.
The vision was to create a place that sold all of the healthy, wholesome and colourful food that these cafes had to offer.
According to the cafe’s origin story on its website, the influence “goes even deeper” with Californian and Japanese flavours, too.

What’s more, the cafe is entirely gluten free, mostly dairy free, and boasts plenty of options for plant based and vegan lifestyles.
One reviewer gave it five stars, writing: “Visited a year ago during my month long trip to the UK and I must say it was a safe haven!
“For someone who has dietary restrictions they’re adept at recommending what I could eat, and the choices are delectable as well.
“Their green smoothie is a life saver, as well as their ginger shots when I got the sniffles.
“They have this banana bread that you can put maple syrup on that’s such a sweet wholesome treat.
“The staff are so very helpful and I miss everything about the place. Hope to visit again soon.”
