The Nook Cafe

Hello Instagram, it’s me Lynsae.

I know it’s been a while since we posted a nook update, and now’s the time to tell you of our next steps.

Many of you have been with us/me since early days, through pivots and pandemics and changes in the plan. I am so grateful for your support and want to share that after several relaunch attempts that have not come to fruition, I have decided to stop pursuing a new home for the nook.

For many years, I believed that finding a new space and re-opening the cafe was the right plan. I now know that it is not, and I am grateful for this clarity.

In the coming weeks I will be assessing, pricing and selling off the nook Inventory. The goal is to efficiently offload every item – including commercial grade cookware, appliances, beloved décor, and really, anything that the nook had to offer.

If there is an item that you know you must have, the time to ask is now! I’d love to make it yours. (get in our dm’s). If you want to help, I’d love your hands in person, or if you shared our sales when they go live. (stay tuned for that).

It’s been a journey, and here is what I know: You have all been an integral part of what kept this dream alive for me the last few years. I am so grateful for you, Thank you! I don’t have words for the feels.

Also: Now is not the time for me to relaunch a business. I accept that, and I am moving forwards with the hope that this sale and closing chapter will be as wonderful as every moment I shared with all of you at the cafe was. I hope to see y’all out in the wild fighting the good fight. Stay cozy out there!

All my love,
Lynsae.

Last Sunday was one of THE hardest days of my earthly living thus far! I was beyond overwhelmed and barely making sense of the goings on. This was the day we began moving our cafe into storage. This was the day I knew was coming yet it somehow snuck up on me and left me incapacitated.

As I walked into our beloved space, two hours late, there was already many hands busy at work; strapping equipment to dollys, disconnecting power, disabling plumbing, moving boxes and stepping in where I could not. Like a beautiful orchestra.

Over the last two weeks, with the help of many humans, we packed and schelped and cleaned and cried and laughed and ate and sang and said goodbye to 10153 97street (Okîsikow way).

The community that grew out of that space over the last five years has filled me up and I am forever changed because of the nook cafe… My little dream that really did come true. 🤍

It is with a bittersweet feeling we announce that this weekends offerings Will be our last service for the foreseeable future. Not forever but for a while.

We have decided to take the next few months off to rest, recoup, and regroup so we can see what might come next for us. (More on this soon).

So this is your invitation to join us THIS WEEKEND to get your hands on our fresh treats, fill your freezers, and say ‘bye for now’.

We would love to go out with a bang and sell it all out. So please share this post (come on algorithm), tell your peeps, gather your loves and come see us off. This Saturday 9-3, Sunday 11-3 at the big and beautiful GWG building. Nestled in. The front doors with our favourite market pals. ...
