The Bonnie Nook

😭♥️ Tomorrow is the last day of The Bonnie Nook! 😭♥️

As a thank you for all the love i have felt over the past 9 months, YOUR DRINKS ARE ON ME TOMORROW! Swing by and grab yourself a free coffee, tea or hot chocolate which i promise to TRY to not season with my happy tears 😭😍

I will be open for drinks 8:00 - 13:30 (or until sell-out) and here for hugs and chats beyond that!

I will be posting a few of my favourite pictures over the next few days to celebrate and reminisce before this account becomes history!

As most of these will be dog pics (not sorry) let me use these non-dog pics to again say thank you to you all. I will miss seeing you all at the box enormously (you are all gorgeous beautiful people). BUT! Edinburgh is a village and so I have no doubt that I will see many of you around!

Lots of Love gang! ♥️

Hello lovely people, it’s been a minute, I know, I missed you too!

As you may know, The Bonnie Nook and the superstar that is Zoe Gamble will be finishing her time in the police box on Friday the 16th Sep.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Zoe for the wonderful work she had done in my absence keeping the police box going and you caffeinated.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take my place whilst I was recuperating.

I know you agree.

I am sure that whatever is next for Zoe, she will shine her beautiful smile all the way to success.

Thank you!

 
As for what’s next for DelishYoss Coffee Bar.

Recovery had been long and complicated but I’m getting there.

I am expecting to receive the all clear on the 30th Sep, and get back into the police box as soon as possible after.  

I expect that I will be easing back into it as I’m still building my strength up, and must be careful of further injuries at this crucial juncture. The bone is fully healed but the muscles around it are catching up.  

Slow and steady is the best way I’m being told.

I will be sure to let you know what that means in terms of opening times as soon as I work it out with my physiotherapist, But the good news is that I’m coming back at the beginning of October, and will be there to do my best to lighten up your dark and gloomy winter days with a smile, a tune and a cup of something hot.

And now if you’d excuse me, I’m gonna catch some rays in Greece, store some memories of heat before the impending winter cold, and I’ll be with you shortly.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Yossi

The Bonnie Nook closes up shop on Friday 16th September ♥️♥️♥️

On Friday 16th, The Bonnie Nook will close officially ending my time at the Broughton Road Police Box and allowing for the great return (hurrah!!). He has been so kind to let me takeover for the past nine months and im sure he can’t wait to be back in it himself! 🤩

It goes without saying that I have loved every minute that I have spent dishing out coffee and chatting to you lovely lot over the past nine months. Its been a wonderful thing. I hope to get to see many of you before I close! 💕

Until then, will be bringing the ruckus 🚀☕️and will be providing me with all the baked goods you could wish for 🍪👨‍🍳. Absolute Gems 💎 (( ps pls bring your dogs 🐶 ))

Fancy pup with a penchant for puppaccinos (can you not see the enthusiasm) 😍

The Bonnie Nook will be closed for a week from Thursday! 🌞

Come get your coffees before its too late (retail bags of our house available in the box if you can’t stand being without it - also available on their website and at the lovely both of which are delightful places to end up 🚀✨)

Our new Decaf!

Asorcafe Decaf Colombia 🚀

Varietal: Mixed
Altitude: 1500 - 1800 masl

Tastes like: Clementine, candied lemon, walnut 🍊🍋

“This high quality Colombian coffee has been carefully decaffeinated using the Sugarcane E.A. process, evening coffee drinkers rejoice!”

🚀 is roasted in a unique hand built roasting machine. 🚀

Every parameter is fine-tuneable, allowing to roast in a way which showcases each coffee's delicious flavours.

Our house coffee will be Spaceboy’s Fazenda Zaroca Brazil.

“Beautifully balanced and incredibly well-structured, this coffee has it all. A rounded plum acidity sits above a sweet, smooth chocolatey body, ending with a soft melon sweetness. The crowd pleaser of coffees.”

Truly a delicious roast I can’t wait for you all to try 😋

🚀 TAKE HOME BAGS OF BEANS WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE SO WEEKENDS CAN ALSO BE FULL OF SPACEBOY GOODNESS 🚀

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Tomorrow is the Edinburgh pride march and every day I’m reminded how important it is to go and march together, united against ALL hate. It can be easy to forget that behind the joy of the day a very real message is being shouted by everyone in attendance.

Q***r Love and Q***r Lives are valid, important and human.

Come march tomorrow if you can (make sure to message me if you want some company!) because no matter how comfortable you feel there are people both in scotland and around the world who are still faced with hate for existing in their truth and being PROUD of their truth. Visibility is powerful!

The Bonnie Nook is a q***r business in a q***r part of Edinburgh and so today Im celebrating and remaining visible in the hope that one day our siblings don’t have to fight for the right to be treated with basic kindness.

Good morning gorgeous people! 🌞

Monday marks 6 months of The Bonnie Nook (HURRAH!) and I am beyond grateful for all the support and friendship you have offered me! Many of you will know that June was supposed to be my last month here but….

You now have me until September 🥳 After that, the beautiful will be back to take his rightful place!

There are going to be a couple of changes over the next three months - the biggest of which is that for now, I will be closed on Saturdays. I have loved seeing you all on the weekends (often full of weekend joy😜) but 6 months of 6 days a week is tough and I think its time for more regular time off! The good thing is though - that Friday mornings are now all yours! No more missing out on your Friday morning treat 🤩

So my new opening hours are:
Monday - Friday 8:00-15:30
Nice and easy 🥰

See you all soon 😍

-Zoe 🌞

Good boys get their liver cake delivered piece by piece!

Fergus always gets that puppaccino sparkle in his eye on Wednesdays ✨

is back! Keeping The Bonnie Nook supplied with all the good things 😋

The Nook is Back! ☕️♥️

Usual times except tomorrow when you will get me from 8:00 instead of the usual 11:00! Winner! 🤠Xx

🚨Im sorry to report that I need another day! The Bonnie Nook will now be re-opening on Thursday instead of tomorrow. 🚨

The changeover between flats took a little longer than expected so I need an extra day to unpack and relax. I have missed you all and can’t wait to see you once I’m a little more alive!

- Zoe 🌞

My opening hours are going to be different over the next 10 days to give me time to move into my new flat 🏠👩🏻‍❤️‍👩🏻!

Any changes are highlighted - luckily most of them are over the easter weekend so im sure many of your plans will be different too 🐣!

See you around gorgeous people 🥰

UPDATE: All being well I will be back in the box from Wednesday 8 am and back to the usual hours! Oh how I have missed you all!! My tests are now negative - hopefully by Wednesday I will be back to my old self. Any further delays and I will let you know but otherwise see you then you gorgeous lot - Zoe 🌞

Hey lovely people! Unfortunately last night I developed a fever and this morning my lateral flow has come back with two lines. I will therefore not be at the box until further notice while I get a PCR test. As you can imagine it deeply upsets me that i will not be there again after taking a break last week, but your health is more important to me! Please do a LFT over the next few days if you spent much time with me recently - particularly if you start to get a fever. Im sure you will all be absolutely fine, but its better safe than sorry! I will keep you updated, Zoe ♥️🌞

So happy to be back in the box! Cannot wait to see all your beautiful faces again 😍!

🌞Back to the usual opening times:
Mon - Thurs: 8:00-15:30
Fri: 11:00-17:00
Sat: 9:00-14:00
Sun: CLOSED

Incase you havent yet found out, The Bonnie Nook will be closed this week for some rest and recuperation. Back open Monday 28th @ 8am. Have a lovely week and see you all soon! ♥️🌞

Fredrick displaying pure anticipation for a yummy liver cake!
