Fido was just ok. I think I would have liked the coffee and sweets better. We got the chilaquiles (sort of like breakfast nachos). It sounds better than the actual execution. It was sort of a goopy spicy mess. The steak and eggs was better, but nothing special. The burgers were pretty good though. read more

I am a lover of all things breakfast and all things dogs. So Fido seemed like it would be the perfect place for me--a bridge between worlds. I stopped into Fido with my parents while they were in town. (No better way to test new restaurants than with my parents money.) So we arrived at this cute restaurant and joined the line of 50 some people eagerly awaiting their turn to take their order. As we were standing there growing more and more we worried if the wait would be worth it. The answer to my previous concern: yes. Yes the waiting was worth it. We waited a good 20 minutes to place our order, but within 10 minutes our order was out and we were diving in. I ordered the meat (local sausage) and three--though I did originally want the steak and eggs dish (they were out of steak.) And the lack of steak ended up being a positive because I got to try the local sausage! It was sooooo good. Great flavor and unique! I also got a mocha iced coffee with almond milk. Perfect balance of milk and flavor...etc. My parents also loved their meals. What they got?...I don't remember. But in the end we decided Fido was worth another visit. We will definitely be back. read more

Long Live Fido! Love their coffee and the food is great too. I go there all the time when in town and I'm super stoked they have oat milk now! There are tons of places to sit, the place is huge! The staff is usually pretty friendly and it's overall a great hang every time. read more

I've been countless timess and never left disappointed From their coffee and lattes and breakfast dishes to their sandwiches. All good. Outside seating is a plus. Line can be deceiving but it moves quickly and food comes out in reasonable time. read more

Great breakfast. I ordered the chilaquiles which had awesome flavor and was just a little rich. It was savory, a little spicy, and a little sour. Practically perfect. My partner had the meat and three (basic) but the hash browns looked good. Bacon also looked super legit. If you like strong coffee, this is the spot. I love coffee and drink tons of it everyday, but it was a little too strong for me. Order at the bar and they bring your food out. The line wasn't too bad and took us about 10 minutes to order at 9:30am on a Saturday. Plenty of seating. Self serve coffee. After we ordered it only took about 10 minutes to get our food. Overall it was nice and quick (uncommon in most Nashville breakfast spots). This is probably my new favorite breakfast stop in Nashville, although there are other good and cheaper options. I'll come back to fidos! read more

Visited Fido this weekend on a whim and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! While there was a line, it moved quickly and our order was brought out promptly. The food was delicious. I had the Eden salad with chicken and it was perfection! Had to try the baked cheese grits and they were great as promised! Lastly, gave the Sproda a try (espresso, coke and black cherry). Very unusual, but good taste. Didn't care for the bits of black cherry as its weird to drink food bits through a straw to me, but if that doesn't bother you, then you'll love it! I think it would be better strained. All in all, a good experience. The other five people I was with all really liked their choices as well. I'd go back next time I'm in town. read more

Great breakfast. Can get a little crowded on the weekends, but expect the line to move fast. The chocolate chip pancakes are incredible, and Fido has great pastries as well. This is a great alternative if you're looking for something other than Pancake Pantry and don't want to wait outside for four hours. read more

It was slightly misleading that there wasn't a line outside to indicate how busy it was, as the line was wrapping around the inside. The line went quickly though. It seemed like a good process they have going on where they don't have servers and it is more self service. You get things a lot quicker when it comes to condiments and extra water when you go get it yourself. It's a pretty spacious restaurant with some outdoor tables and seats. After waiting in line you get a pager that lights up where you get your food and drinks. The coffee comes from Bongo Java Co. and my coffee drink was delicious! I had the smoked salmon scramble and it was fabulous! It was just the right portion. The prices were comparable. I would love to come back and try other meals here! read more

When I step in here, I feel like I'm transported back to Four Barrels Coffee in San Francisco only that the coffee here isn't as great as Four Barrels and that wouldn't be a fair comparison. However, despite that minor "flaw", if we can even call it that, the coffee is good (and by good, I mean worlds better than Starbucks coffee) and it comes quickly. The servers here are very friendly and if you have last minute adjustments after you've ordered, they will accommodate if they are able too at what appears to be no extra charge Now, coffee is becoming and in some parts of the country already has become a very closely scrutinized commodity regarding their sourcing much like how people look at diamonds. Fido does a great job of purchasing their beans from small farmers and allowing the consumer (i.e. you) to track exactly where these beans are coming from. I wasn't in much of a spending mood the day I came since I was getting my car fixed, but I ordered the breakfast torta. Regarding the food, it is getting what you pay for. The torta is almost half the price of the other meals on the menu, but it's still quite delicious. I particularly like their salsa which seems to be homemade. Overall, it's not a bad place for a midday coffee break or even breakfast. Seating here though can be a bit painful since you order first then find a seat so groups have the advantage of being able to divide and conquer. Food: 3 Price: 3.5 Service: 4 read more

Fido is, like, not too far from Vanderbilt. I couldn't tell if I were coming or going because of all the extremely beautiful women coming to/from Church that morning. I don't think I've seen that many cute chicks since I was in Hollywood, Florida.. But..I..digress!! My daughter had the Huevos Cubano and I had the Salmon Scramble. I am pretty certain that she loved it because she ate it in record time. LOL. My Salmon was fantastic. The line was LONG on a Sunday afternoon but it was worth it. Seeing as I will be in Nashville many times for the next 4 years while she is in college there, I am certain to return. I'm not a dirty old man...some of them mothers were lovely too. I'm sure hoping they were mothers. (I need a shower). LOL read more

So not impressed. I wanted to be. I expected to be. In Nashville for the weekend, I was dying to check out some great coffee shops. With almost 400 reviews and consistently high ratings I figured this was a sure thing. Asked the guy working which cheesecake was best. He suggested the caramel peanut butter. What I didn't see was that the bottom crust was at least an inch thick. So about half of the cheesecake was bottom crust. Super weird. The cheesecake was just ok. I asked which was the best of the drinks listed on the menu, and the Sleepy Hollow (pumpkin spice) was what he recommended. It was terrible. Just terrible. So, two strikes. The atmosphere was college town trendy, so that was great but I would never go here again. Save your money and head to the Frothy Monkey. read more

Fido is a cute brunch spot close to Vanderbilt University; I love that most of the ingredients used were locally sourced, and cleanliness appeared to be a priority (which was great). While the line can get long for Sunday brunch, it moves fairly quickly; menus are also made available so that while you wait in line, you can figure out what you want to eat. I recommend the sweet potato french toast since it's something unique (but I would share these as they are kind of rich). However, it doesn't seem like you can really go wrong with any of the available options! read more

Stop in for a great coffee combination!! Their mixes are unique in flavor and taste great!! We also tried the red velvet cake and snicker doodles. Those were good too! Every month they put out cute little postcards of their featured coffee drink. So fun! read more

This place was great! I got scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, and toast and a caramel latte and I practically inhaled it. My girlfriend ordered Pete's breakfast which was o so tasty. We came on a Sunday morning at about 930 and had to wait in line for about 30min before ordering. But then maybe only waited 5-10min after that for our food which was a plus. Would highly recommend and would go back if ever in Nashville again read more

Fido - Roasted sweet potatoes mmmm.. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Pretty darn good coffee (and food)! You can find so many good coffee shops just on this street alone. The competition is tough because the other coffee shops are very good, too. For some reason though, I'm a little more loyal to Fido. It just never disappoints. You can really go with whatever coffee they currently have. I'm a basic girl so I always get a cappuccino and I never have complaints about it. I also come here for lunch sometimes and their food is just as good! There also have been nights where my husband and I would just sit by the window and watch people walk by. It's a really neat atmosphere. For parking, you pretty much have to park on the street. It's a little tough to find parking around this area so you really have to be intentional when coming here. However, it is so worth it! read more

Fido is always a staple when you want delicious, easygoing food any time of the day. We came here all throughout college, so when college friends were back in town, it was must-do on the itinerary. We came at peak Fido hours - around noon on a Sunday - and were greeted with the ever-typical wrap around line. I know the line is typical at busy hours, but it moved so incredibly slowly. When we could finally see the register, we could see exactly why: they only had one register open! Why at all times, would they only have one open?? And then as we began to watch, we saw it was a bit chaotic back there - one guy on the register, who was also plating desserts from the display, and sometimes removing himself from the register to fill waters, while I'm not sure what the others we're doing. They were also going back and forth with which register they were using - it was just so hectic! Fido, you're lucky your food is good and we deemed it worth the wait! Side note: there should be a self-serve water station for patrons, because filling up water cups seemed to be a big time consumer and slower of the line! When I finally ordered, I also got a hot coffee, and was immediately given a mug to fill it up from the 3 options. 1 of the 2 caffeinated choices was completely empty, so I opted for the another and filled my mug without looking into first. After my mug was full, something weird was floating in my mug - an entire to-go condiment container! It must have somehow been in there when I was handed my mug??? WTH?? The menu serves breakfast all day, as well as some salads, sandwiches, and other random dishes, all of wish I assume are tasty. My favorite orders include: -Village Scramble - a scramble with veggies -Smoked Salmon Scramble - with cream cheese in the eggs! -Big Chop - delicious and crunchy salad, I add chicken -the Burger - best EVER! -Grits - cheesy and gritty, not liquidity at all -Sweet Potatoes - always get these as my side when possible! Ask for them double roasted so they are extra crispy. They're served with a spicy and creamy horseradish sauce that I wish I could put on everything. Really in the mood for a sandwich, I decided to try something new: smoked turkey + brie sandwich. SMOKED TURKEY + BRIE // This sandwich was crafted perfectly. The focaccia bread is soft and doughy, and let's the condiments shine. The brie adds a creamy element, and the garlic-forward basil pesto and the cooling aioli add explosions of flavors that meld together in the mouth. While I consistently love the food at Fido, I hope they improve their organization and get their service running more smoothly soon read more

Yelp lead me here, as I was on safari for coffee and internet. Though I didn't have enough time to actually stay and dine, the menu was impressive. My iced red eye was as predicted, but my croissant... yeah... I don't think that I've ever experienced such buttery perfection. What looked like a very commonplace piece of bread was one of the most savory foods of which my palate has been exposed. read more

A very cute lunch spot! While visiting Nashville a colleague took me here. The line was long (circling back toward the bathroom), but it moved relatively quickly (20 people in front of us took us about 15 minutes, maybe). Beers are bottled, they have wine in the fridge and a selection of curated coffee/tea drinks for the bold (normal coffee/tea drinks for the consistent). I got the kale salad, which was a special. It's a hearty salad. Nicely balanced - creaminess from the goat cheese, earthy/nutty from candied sunflower seeds, bite from red onions and sweetness from the dressing. It came pretty quickly but the confusing part was their use of lighted vibrating "your table's ready" things. It seemed to be harder for the serving staff to find you since the numbers were small and it neither vibrated or lit up so I could help wave my hand around that my order is ready. More clarity around that would've been helpful. Besides that, this place had a great vibe, is nicely located near Vanderbilt's campus and hotels, and has a surprising amount of seating. Note: they do have a sign that says during busy times they may turn off their wifi. I found the sign both informative and charming (let's face it, when we work, we become seat/table hogs). TL;DR - long lunch rush line but it moves quickly; food is fresh and tasty although you might have to help the servers find you. read more

I like Fido's drip coffee, it's probably my favorite. It tastes fresh and thick, not watered down like some others. I love coming here for food as well, the steak hash has to be my favorite. It's got layers of flavor. Great for brunch. The burger here is great as well, my only complaint is that its kinda small even for a petite girl like me. I can probably eat another half of one to be completely satisfied. The crunchy onion and the aioli really tops the burger off. Also, I would skip the sweet potato fries though. It's not really fried, it's more pan seared on the flat top, and its limpy and not crispy. Not my thing especially when you advertise it as fries...lol But hey, if it's your thing, go for it. Otherwise, get the regular fries and they are awesome! read more

Ever come to a coffee shop to do a little work with some Wi-Fi? Not if they turn the Wi-Fi off periodically to purge customers so they can get new ones. Ever tried to get the good table in a coffee shop and when you finally do, you're asked to move because they want to save that table for a bigger group, even when such a group isn't present? Fido! We get it .. but you're a coffee shop. Lots of new choices in Nashville though. read more

Every time I go to Fido's I get upset at myself for not going enough. The truth is for lunch that line is a nightmare and it moves slow and parking isn't always fun on 21st.. With all this it makes it tough to make it a lunch spot for me. For dinner it's definitely less crowded and the entire menu is open so I can get my fix if needed. The local burger is probably one of my top 3 choices in Nashville and as a burger tasting expert (self proclaimed) I've had most burgers in town. Now the steak and scramble and steak dinner is amazing. The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are well paired full of flavor cooked with consistency. Each visit taste the same. The ambiance is really cool to sit down have a bite some Java and participate in a good conversation. Nothing fancy just good ole laid back type of place. The dessert here is delicious as well made fresh and their cakes are moist and not dry. I'm can't get specific cause I've tried several and have never been disappointed. I struggle not giving it a 5 but the lunch rush, wait, and pace makes me not make a lunch spot. The food and environment makes up for it. read more

Fido - Bagel with almond butter, banana, honey, and cinnamon on top. Delicious!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Go to spot on 21st for mornings, meetings and food. Very nice staff, the mood is relaxed and there is plenty of seating throughout for you to be in the thick of things or have some privacy. Prices aren't bad at all and they can customize most dishes at your request. I'm not a cofffee drinker but those I have eaten with enjoy it. I always get a breakfast bowl, scramble or traditional eggs etc. Parking is in the back and is free if you are only there for an hour or two. That lot can get full later in the day but in the morning it is pretty empty. I like this place because it is walking distance from Vanderbilt Hospital. You can use their garage and make a walk down there to do work, eat some food and have a relaxed discussion in a nice atmosphere. This is nothing fancy but it's dependable and reliable. Definitely recommend. read more

Food was great, coffee was meh. We ordered the Pete's Breakfast and The Bachelor. For Pete's breakfast ($10), I particularly enjoyed that I could make my own tacos with the scramble and home fries. Although the pico sauce on the side was underwhelming. The bachelor ($7) was a bagel with almond butter, bananas and honey, which sounded good but also sounded like it wouldn't be enough food to fill you up. Surprisingly this dish was very filling. Both dishes were a little more expensive than I'm used to, but the atmosphere made up for it. The coffee however, was poor... This may have been an outlier experience, but it tasted burnt and almost flavorless. Other than that, great place. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Nashville. As a student I needed somewhere to keep me caffeinated and focused, and Fido fit that bill. The coffee is incredible. My favorite is an iced local latte. And the breakfasts are incredible as well. The environment allows anyone to stay focused and get work done. It's also a great place to meet up with friends, or someone new. The staff makes the experience even better. If you want a great cup of coffee, and to be treated like family, Fido is your answer! read more

Fido is a fairly popular little...well, medium-sized coffee joint in the Village. It's a great spot to pop in for a coffee or a sandwich, but your wait might be a bit long. There's plenty of seating and the staff is pretty nice, though they don't necessarily offer the best or cheapest cup of coffee in the city. As is the case with most businesses in Hillsboro Village, Fido's best attribute is its location. It's the only coffee shop in walking distance of the Belcourt, Provence, Pancake Pantry and Jackson's, and there are a few outdoor tables that are pretty lovely for an afternoon cup of coffee accompanied by a copy of The Scene. Fido's sandwiches are pretty good, but they're awfully puny for the price you pay, and if you order food you'll likely be kept waiting for a while. Fido offers a pretty big variety of drinks, and the whole canine theme is relatively novel and adorable, I suppose. The place has a tendency to get packed, but seating is plentiful, and if you can stand super-trendy wi-fi hotspots, you'll probably enjoy your visit. read more

(Rating for a burger and fries at bunch on a Sunday, I don't drink coffee) We stopped in on a Sunday for a couple burgers. This is mainly a coffee house that also sells food. They've got a bunch of seating, however during busy times they will shut off the free wifi, well at least thats what the signs said. I picked out a seat for us at the table top by the window. This is a great place to people watch all the different characters walking up and down 21st Ave. You order at the counter. We stopped in around 12:30pm and the place was packed. The line curved around the counter. It took Phillip about 15 minutes to order. We both got the local burger which is ground beef and lamb, Tennessee white cheddar, caramelized fennel and fig aioli, caramelized onion, pickle, lettuce on a bun for $13. If you want to add bacon (which we did) it costs $2.50. The burger comes with fries that have sea salt and maybe garlic and parsley? They give you a little sign holder with a dog's picture and some facts about them. It would be neat if the dogs on the holders were dogs (and cats) available for adoption. Our burgers arrived about ten minutes after ordering. We both ordered the burger medium, but looked more well done to me. The burger was topped with uncooked, red onions, not caramelized onions as stated. I couldn't taste the caramelized fennel and fig aioli on the burger either. I did like the flavor of the burger, the cheese with the beef and lamb. I wished it wasn't was well done as it was, but I still liked it. I didn't think it was a burger that should be $15.50 (with bacon). I liked the fries and the garlic aioli was nice, but I couldn't eat too much of it because it's pretty intense. Phillip said that the portion size of the fries was pretty small compared to other visits he had here, and after looking at other pictures of the local burger, it looks like you usually get more fries. read more

This has to be the best breakfast coffee shope I have ever had, seen, or heard of. Absolutely on point with their breakfast and portion size. No offense to the place on the next block with a super long line to get a table, I won't name them.... Fido Simply redifined a simple breakfast and turned it into a tasteful and artful dish that drove my palette for more and more. My plate included potatoes, toast and a nice juicy peice of steak on top of my fluffy eggs; it also came with salsa and sour cream. These combinations were outstanding and made my day oh-so-nice to have not have had to wait forever and a half for my breakfast. Did I mention it was raining outside...?

Brought my out of town guests here for breakfast on a Friday morning, after reading several great reviews, and was NOT disappointed! The line was already long on a rainy Friday morning around 10am, but the line moved quickly, and there is plenty to look at while you wait to place your order at the register. The dog decor was a huge hit amongst our dog-loving group :) The atmosphere is busy, loud & eclectic, but we loved it! The menu selection was great, and had a lot of varied options for each member of our party - from traditional b-fast entrees to bagels, pancakes, scrambles, many coffee, tea and house speciality drinks. We went with a steamed hot cider and a housemade latte, and they were wonderful. To eat, we got the salmon scramble which was delicious, flavorful and super fresh (which can sometimes be hard to find in Nash). We also ordered a yogurt parfait, and it ended up stealing the show! It was just right when it comes to sweetness and presentation, thanks to the honey drizzle, fresh fruit, and delicious housemade granola. YUM! Overall, an impressive, delicious experience! I can't wait to come back and try more items off of the menu! read more
