THE strawberry matcha enthusiast: Aphrielle, a bar

THE strawberry matcha enthusiast: Aphrielle, a bartender AND barista at The Nook!

Her favorite part about working at The Nook is "how accommodating the management is and how amazing and diverse we all are. This place has really become a safe place for a lot of us." She also says, "if you ever walk into The Nook and hear 90's to early 2000's hiphop like “Big Papa” by The Notorious B.I.G. or Spice Girls radio— that’s all me." 🍹☕

come visit us after class and get hooked on our strawberry matcha while listening to some 90's jams! we're open til midnight! 🍓

Demi says hi from our Rooftop, say hi back!!! 🍹

if you don't find Demi downstairs, you'll find her making drinks like her favorite "prickly pear vodka sour" upstairs! one of her favorite things about the job is meeting "so many cool people" and "customers [who] are always so kind," but we think she's one of the kindest people you'll ever encounter at The Nook! 🫶

Order her favorite drink at @thenookrooftop tonight!
