When I was in Nashville with a friend, we ended up choosing Fido for three different meals. My friend and I are not the kind of people who don't like branching out in new places, so Fido is actually that great. It is adorable how you get a picture of a dog when you are seated so that the waitstaff may bring you your food. They have fabulous everything, from the red velvet cake to the salmon scramble to the huevos rancheros. The espresso was great, the mix of people was wonderful, and I was happy to find somewhere that combines everything I love and miss about the South with all of the cool stuff that places in the super-rural south are missing. Also, the location promises you some superb people-watching, and I am thrilled to eat anywhere that I can stare at prints from Hatch Show Press. read more

My favorite brunch spot in the city. It's gets busy, but because it's pretty big, I never have a hard time finding a table. The service is really fast (you order at the bar and then they bring the food to your table). I highly recommend the Village Burrito. They also make a pretty good Chai (doesn't taste like a powder mix), and of course a good Fruit Tea. Great place to people watch too. read more

Yelpers got this one right ..delicious coffee!!! This is right across from the super packed pancake house and had no line so I decided to try it out. I had a wheat bagel with egg and bacon (the best thick cut bacon!)that was really good and a latte that started my day out right. I had an hour before heading out to the airport and their free wi-fi enabled me to get some work done while I ate. I would definitely recommend this place if you want some great coffee and a cool place to enjoy it. read more

This place was super busy when I arrived to meet a friend (a good sign). Line moved quickly. I had a BLT, very yummy. Got an iced Milkbone with it (go and you will understand what that is) and it was very yummy! read more

Was in town for a gig and had my family with me. Looking for breakfast and not wanting to stand in line for an hour at the big pancake joint, we found Fido. I have 2 say we were VERY impressed. Great food, kids were happy and good coffee drinks! Fido will def be a destination next time i am in town. read more

My top 2 of coffee houses in the city. Great location as long as you don't need to park

OK, I have found yet another local coffee house, this time with a difference, they serve real food and have wine and beer as well. This is in the heart of Nashville across from Bosco's. The noise level in the restaurant/coffee bar depends on what time of day and where you sit. The coffee was good, I went iced, my usual. I think I would have liked a darker base roast, but it was my first time here. I will come back, I love the locals. read more

Excellent coffehouse/restaurant. Hipster vibe but everyone from students to office workers to retired folk here. Great espresso with distinct in house flavor and good crema on the pull. Had brunch (eggs and pancakes). Highly recommend the food...very well done and fresh. Only complaint is how slow the order-taking process is, and the line that backs up. There is plenty of seating area, so it's not as if they have to regulate the patron flow. read more

Fido=precious.delicious.quick.crowded.interesting.quirky.antique. Any eatery that serves breakfast all day long...has my loyalty for life. I frequented Fido for the first time just yesterday at about 4ish pm. It was quite crowded (as I hear it usually is), but I was helped very quickly and offered advice by numerous employees on what to get. It was feeling like a chocolate chip pancake type of day but I opted for the Salmon Scramble and one chocolate chip pancake instead (suggested by the cashier). Although crowded, I ended up finding room at a huge all-wooden booth. It felt as if I was on a train eating. Very cool and antique feeling. My food was brought to me shortly after being seated and let me tell you...this place doesn't disappoint in the taste department. The Salmon Scramble was amazing..creamy, with just enough spice, capers, lox/salmon, cream cheese...ugh, delicious. Also, with nicely down hash browns and some toast. The chocolate chip pancake was also delightful..and I was full to the point of satisfaction and NOT sickness, thankfully. I enjoyed the atmosphere..good for people-watching..and my big booth was definitely roomy enough..food great..staff pleasant and helpful. My only stipulation were the slightly higher prices for a breakfast dish. But hey, if you want quality, sometimes you've got to pay a little more!:) read more

This place is BS. I came here specifically to study. I got a 5$ coffee and they tell me the internet is off shad they refuse to turn it on.

Me and my girlfriend found this place on yelp looking for a solid lunch, it was very well reviewed and for good reason. The atmosphere was great as soon as you walk in and the line moved very quickly. The staff was very accommodating and our food was out to us in surprisingly short time. We got the gluten-free pancakes ( A pleasant surprise since we are both gluten-intolerant) , the house fries with garlic aoli and the steak and hash. All of which were absolutely amazing, we can't wait to go back again, HIGHLY recommended! read more

Everyone knows that Fido serves up an awesome brunch. But what people might not know is that their dinner selection is JUST as good. They have tons of specials, some of which are vegan-friendly and/or gluten-free. I got the vegan tomato coconut soup on a chilly night and could not have been more pleased. Their sweet potato "fries" are a must if you're a health nut- they're perfectly seasoned and super healthy, as they're not actually fried! I also consistently get the best lattes in the world at Fido. My most recent obsession is the Snapback with almond milk, a ginger-y, caramel-y condition that I couldn't stop sipping. If you have some late-night work, stop by Fido and get dinner and coffee. At the very least, the heart design in your latte will put a huge smile on your face! read more

I just love this place! The food is always good, and the coffee offerings are unique and delicious. Cozy atmosphere, too.

This place has a great vibe, great food, and excellent service. My only complaint is that the bathrooms smell and look a little bit like bus station bathrooms. There are always paper towels laying all over the floor, and the bathroom stalls have broken locks on them. Just seems a little run down for as much business and the clientele these guys get. Don't know about you, but I think it's easy to tell the vibe of the overall management of a place by looking at their bathroom. Just sayin'... read more

Great spot to hang solo or with a bunch of friends, solid WiFi, and super fresh foods. BLT w their soecial aioli was awesome.

Out of towners who looked all over Nashville for a perfect veggie burger. We found it at Fido.

Decent options. Kind of overpriced for what it is. but good if you're in the area with friends. The wi-fi is good and the atmosphere is too.

Sweet potato French toast =Yum! Coffee is good. Parking is horrendous but that is with anywhere in this area.

Wow. I absolutely love this coffee shop! The breakfast bagels, the unique lattes, this is my favorite shop in town! The seating really goes on forever here. There is a ton of room, great space to bring a computer and study, or chat with a friend. Really recommend it for both food and coffee! read more

Absolutely LOVED this place! It truly lived up to the high expectation I had after hearing so many great reviews over the years, and especially from my favorite artist Taylor Swift, it was the number one stop on my list for breakfast after jumping off our red eye flight. I love the little dog cards you get instead of order number, featuring dogs that are looking for a home...what a special thing! The staff were very friendly and Nashville-hipster I ordered the gluten-free buckwheat blueberry pancake and it was DIVINE. best maple syrup I've ever tasted as well. I also got some tasty crispy bacon for my protein :) My parents got the omelette that was featured for the day and sweet potatoes which were also very tasty. Their homemade sourdough toast is really incredible as well. The only reason I would mark down a bit is because it didn't seem the tables were very clean, especially outside. Other than that, would definitely come again (and am planning to within the next few days of my visit here to Nashville. :) It's places like Fido that give Nashville its character :) read more

Fido - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Stumbled upon this place when original breakfast plans didn't work out. I got a chai to drink and my friend got a caramel latte. Was really good. Their house made yogurt is also great. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and is located in a cute little area. Food was also good and quick to the table even though it was packed. read more

Super nice staff! Great smoked salmon scramble, not so great spongy French toast. Amazing lattes!

We fell in love with this place! The cappuccino was the best in Nashville. The location is very nice on this short commercial strip near the campus. We liked the shots so much that we bought the beans to bring back to SF and have been thinking of reordering from Fido if they'd agree to ship. read more

If you're a true vegetarian or vegan don't waste your time. They don't actually care about preparing your food safely and appropriately. They cook everything on the same surface whether it is veggie sausage, pancakes, bacon, etc. It would be so easy to use a pan but they have gotten so busy that they don't bother being conscientious since the line is so long behind you. As a local I'm very disappointed they have turned into a hot spot that doesn't care. My measly options were grits (because they're baked) and fruit or granola. It was too late for oatmeal--even though everything else is all day breakfast, oatmeal isn't. They were out of the one type of bagel I tried to order. I will not be back. It is absolutely not worth waiting in line for nearly an hour for food I can prepare for less time and money on my own. read more

Great vegetarian burger + fries. Nice (kind of) shady spot on the sidewalk, which is dog friendly. Sometimes the line goes all the way back to the bathrooms though! 8| read more

Mediocre at best. Food came out lukewarm. The village scramble was fine but nothing special. Potatoes were bland and cold; toast was cold, gummy and burnt. Coffee is fine but, again, nothing special. Also, don't look around too closely at the ceiling or the tops of fixtures because they clearly have not dusted or cleaned in years. Disappointing. read more

I used to love this place but it has gone consistently downhill. My last visit will remain my last - the food was barely heated, I wound up smelling like I'd just hung out in the kitchen of a burger joint, and to boot, the WiFi kept cutting out. Sorry to have to do this, I kept going and hoping things would improve ... read more

I love this place for breakfast, lunch, studying, and/or drinking a beer. I really do love this place and have spent many hours studying and hanging out with friends or alone with a book. However, the staff can be huge a-holes and the owner tells them to cut off the internet during peak hours. I understand this thinking, but they should make the policy like Panara and ask people to be considerate during peak hours. I'm sure most would comply and it wouldn't be an issue. read more

Where most of my friends had their "(Taylor) Swift Sightings" and where I grabbed a bite once or twice. Good breakfast foods and nice decor/atmosphere made this a nice place to hang out on free mornings back when I lived in Nashville. read more

We came to Nashville from Phoenix for a friend's 60th birthday party. It ws held in a private area at Fido. Having never been to Nashville before we had no idea what to expect. The place has a very hip trendy feel. When we got to the room it was nicely retro with original advertising on the brick. Mismatched chairs continue the feeling. Gracious wait staff supplied champagne for the surprise toast. The food was a multi-course tasting menu. Vegetarian and delicious! Each course accompanied by a wine selection by Chef John. My only complaint would is that the hard surfaces made this a noisy room with our full crowd. Other than that it was divine. read more

In the planning of our trip to Nashville for a group of 6 of us, we had read about Fido, and have to say, the best decision it looks like we made was getting here on a Thursday morning! The line was minimal, maybe 5-7 people, and we had our coffee's and food in hand quickly! Great atmosphere with a mix of business, college and locals. It was great as some tourists to see some of a real Southern Nashville feel. Their Coffee's were incredible, and we ended up with 5 Steak Scrambles and 1 Huevos Rancheros, all our meals were incredible. Atmosphere incredible, we loved every minute of our first morning in Nashville. read more

This place sports some wonderful espresso! Beats out the stuff from any of the big chains any time. The way I can tell is that I don't need to add sugar or syrup to my latte to make it delicious. The food is also very high quality, and for nashville, reasonably priced. The only downside to this place is that its too good. It gets very crowded on the weekends, and sometimes you'll be standing in line waiting to order for a good 30 minutes, and then also struggle to find a table. read more

Really good, kind of a panera feel but with more variety and breakfast all day. Got spinach salad with dates walnuts feta cheese and chicken, and it was excellent read more

Went there with 5 others we decided to seat and have brunch. Food was ok ordered the steak and scrabble eggs Steak was cold :/(. The eggs although served with veggies was bland ... Probably should have picked up as most of the folks were doing .... i would not go back there again :-( the staff was good ... when you go be ready to wait for a really long time ( if you go on a weekend) read more

Loved eating breakfast here. The Sweat potato French toast was amazing... Wish I could eat it every day.

Had a BLT at lunch and it was delicious! My friend had the sweet potato pancakes and they were to die for! Must go to if you're visiting Nashville! read more

Been coming here fairly regularly since 2006. I credit Fido with turning me into a coffee shop kind of guy. But now that I think of it, Fido is pretty much the only coffee place I go! Probably because in addition to good coffee it has excellent food. Plus, it's a local establishment that I am happy to support. I'm sure I'll be saying "just meet me at Fido" many times in future, just as I have in the past. read more

I love this place for Sunday brunch. Come mentally prepared for a long line to order. I haven't had something I didn't love here. I like taking out of town guests here to get a taste of the fun Nashville atmosphere. read more

Great servive, great space but even more importantly - really great coffee! I had my usual decaf skinny latte and it was creamy with great flavors. Perfect post-dinner pre-show stop. My husband had plain decaf and he is picky about his decaf. He went back for a refill. And i love the space! Biggest coffee house I've been in years. I don't like cramped coffee houses where everyone is in on everyone else's conversations. We'll be back when we're in Nashville! read more

This is my favorite place in Nashville, and I've tried my best to eat at the vast majority of well reviewed places in Nashville. With it's coffee shop it's obviously not angling to compete with the more expensive local restaurants, but I think Fido is surprisingly competitive with the more expensive restaurants in Nashville. It also has competition for the best atmosphere and coffee. But the great thing about Fido is it's really great at everything. It's a case of jack of all trades, and also master of all. The food and coffee is really great and probably the best value/dollar I've encountered in Nashville. And hot & cold is next door (owned by the same people I believe) so you can pop next door for some great jeni's ice cream or las paletas popsicles. I do really like coffee shops for working after work and this is in my top 3 favorite coffeeshops in the US because the food is great too. My standard meal there was actually the standard breakfast platter at night, which was always really good, but I've tried most of the items on the menu and they are all great except for the buckwheat grain pancakes which are not my thing. Like others have said the steak and hash and farm burger are both great, as well as the amazing fries. The line is always long but fast and there is plenty of seating. read more
