Koselig Nook, a reservation-only teahouse built around the Norwegian idea of "koselig" or warm, contented comfort, is relocating from Coatesville to Exton, Pennsylvania. Owner Aracelis Mullin is shaping the space as a quiet "third place" where guests can work, take workshops or spend an alcohol-free evening over tea instead of cocktails, with features like floor seating, blankets and low lighting to encourage slow conversations and solo unwinding.

Why it matters

The move to Exton aims to give Chester County residents a calmer, sober night-time option beyond the usual bar scene, tapping into growing interest in alcohol-free social spaces and small, curated events. Koselig Nook fills a gap for suburban residents seeking creative, wellness-focused social activities.

The details

Koselig Nook will host daytime "before dark" co-working sessions from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday for $25, and reservation-only "after dark" evenings from 7 to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays for $35. Each session comes with unlimited tea and light snacks, and guests are asked to remove their shoes and keep voices soft. The site also outlines a rotating lineup of workshops and private-booking options. Inside, the space features plush floor cushions, muted lighting, curated scents and blankets to create a cozy, intimate atmosphere.

• Koselig Nook first launched in 2024 in Coatesville, where it hosted workshops and study sessions.
• The teahouse is expected to open later this month at 333 E. Lincoln Highway in Exton.
