A Fresh Chapter at The Nook With a Huge Thank You to Millie
We’re beyond excited to share some big news: from next week, we will be taking over the Nook unit in Bath! This is more than just a new location for us, it’s an opportunity to continue the legacy of a very special place, and to honour everything that has made Nook so beloved.
Why The Nook Means So Much…
There’s something quietly magical about Nook, it’s not just a cafe, but a space built from genuine vision, heart, and community. The cafe, located at 12a Old Bond Street, Bath, has long been a sanctuary where nourishment meets soul, and where every sip of cold-pressed juice or bowl of poke feels like a hug.
From its very beginning, the story of Nook has been one of inspiration, creativity, and authenticity. As their About page beautifully puts it: the cafe was “dreamed up whilst sitting on a beach in Byron Bay … in the early Aussie summer months of 2018. NOOK That dream has translated into something real, vibrant, and meaningful here in Bath and that’s all down to Millie.
Celebrating Millie, the Heart & Soul Behind Nook
We want to take a moment to shine a genuine spotlight on Millie, the founder and owner of Nook. Her passion for healthy, wholesome, and colourful food, inspired by Australian coastal cafes, has been the north star for this brand.
Vision and Values: Millie’s vision was never just about food, it was about creating a place that nourishes both body and soul. That’s why Nook’s menu leans into inclusivity: totally gluten-free, mostly dairy-free, with heaps of vegan and plant-based options. NOOK
Authenticity: The influence of Byron Bay, the freshness of superfood smoothies, the vibrancy of poke bowls — these are all reflections of Millie’s own journey, tastes, and values.
Community Builder: Over the years, Millie has built more than just a cafe: she’s cultivated a loyal community in Bath (and beyond), where people come not just to eat, but to feel good, connect, and recharge.
Millie, we are so grateful for how you’ve nurtured The Nook into what it is today. Your dedication to quality, sustainability, and real nourishment is something we deeply respect, and we feel privileged to carry forward what you have built.
Our Vision for this New Chapter
As we step into The Nook unit, here’s what you can expect from us:
Continuity with Care: We plan to honour Nook’s founding ethos, the healthy, colourful, nourishing food, and the welcoming, community-first vibe.
Fresh Ideas, Same Heart: While we’ll bring some new energy, we’re not here to erase the past instead, we want to build on it, perhaps with subtle menu tweaks, small events, or collaborations, always leaning into Nook’s wholesome spirit.
Sustainability & Local Love: We share Nook’s commitment to local, sustainable, and ethical sourcing, and will continue working with the same high principles whenever possible.
Thank You, Bath and Thank You, Millie
To the Bath community: thank you in advance for embracing this new chapter with us. We know how beloved Nook already is, and we’re ready to lean in and serve you in this beautiful space.
And to Millie: you’ve created something really special here. We promise to treat it with the same love and respect, and we can’t wait to write the next chapter together, through the foundation you built.
Here’s to many more mornings of sunshine smoothies, nourishing bowls, and warm, welcoming vibes at The Nook. 🥂
