Have you ever read the Harry Potter books or even had a Harry Potter movie marathon before? Then, you may be one of the Potterheads out there. If you can't get enough, just grab your broomsticks (Accio broomsticks!) because The Nook Cafe is a must-visit for you.
Let me show you the magical journey of a Potterhead from the muggle world to the wizarding world of The Nook Cafe.
The Nook is open from 1pm to 10pm, located at 164-A Maginhawa Street, Sikatuna Village, Quezon City. Anyone can easily find the place, whether by a private car or by commute. If ever you need to commute, there are tricycle drivers waiting for you in Philcoa. They know the place inside out and it will only cost you 40.00 for a one-way ride. That's it, you'll be at the cafe with no sweat.
It is an exceptional two-story coffee house but not as big as you can imagine. That is one reason why it is a "first come, first serve" basis so better be early. Just to reiterate, it is better to go there as early as 12pm. That way, you'll be the first in line. Additionally, first comers will get the chance to stay on the second floor, which I could say, the most interesting part of the coffee house. Yes, it is, but I will tell more about that on the later part of this blog.
Never underestimate this coffee house just because it's small. It is definitely making a fortune because a lot of Potterheads are willing to wait outside just to be accommodated. I wonder what spell could they have cast to muggles just to go crazy like this?
Let's talk about the prices of their menu. Generally, it is affordable. I could say that it is a charming coffee house that will not cost you an arm and a leg. Believe me, 300.00 per head is more than enough. Here, I've taken a photo of of their whole menu. See it yourself.
The bestseller is Butterbeer which cost only 100.00 per glass. A beer that can never get you tipsy because it is super sweet and super delectable.

On the ground floor, there is the counter, the kitchen and the comfort room. You will also see Harry's bedroom under the stairs. You can take a peek and even take photos inside.

The experience was great and memorable. Plus, the management has been very accommodating. You can stay there for as long as you want. Yes, there is no time limit. Speaking of staying at the shop, there are ways for you and your friends to kill time aside from chatting, taking pictures and reading books. You can borrow board games like chess, snake&ladders etc. It was our first time to play Guess Who? and it was a piece of cake.
The Nook is definitely one of the coffee house that you will visit and revisit with your friends and family.
So, what do you think Potterheads? Give it a shot and have some glass of butterbeer. :)
