New ‘Aussie-inspired’ cafe coming to North Street

By Mia Vines Booth  Saturday Jan 7, 2023

A new Aussie-inspired cafe promising “good vibes” is opening on North Street.

Nook will serve “healthy, tasty and nourishing food” that is also gluten and dairy free.

The menu includes acai bowls, cold press juices and superfood smoothies, as well as savoury dishes such as poke bowls and broth bowls, and sweet treats.

Nook’s website says their cafes’ produce is also local, sustainable, ethical and, where possible, organic.

Owned by Millie Clifford and Jake Andrew, the North Street cafe is the pair’s third Nook site in the UK.

Millie and Jake opened their original site in Frome, as a nod to the cafes in coastal Australia.

They say they dreamt up the idea for their first cafe “whilst sitting on a beach in Byron Bay eating poke bowls and drinking cold press juice in the early Aussie summer months of 2018”.

After the success of their Frome cafe, the pair later expanded to Bath in November 2021, and now they look set to debut in Bristol on the thriving high street of Bedminster.

The cafe will sit between Hennesseys coffee shop and The Aquatic Store, in what was once a butchers.

Millie and Jake have decided to keep some of the original character of the butchers, including the beautiful wall tiling, and stained glass window front.
