Stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed it! The food was good, but I was really into the pink radio cake. It was one of the best slices of cake that I have ever had! read more

Just Okay vegetarian food if you can't eat eggs. The lines were long, like 30 ppl deep, for a Friday brunch. There are many vegetarian options, but since I'm allergic to eggs I could only try their med bagel. My husband tried the Cuban style eggs which was quite good, but my bagel was just meh. The fruit bowl was nice and the coffee was decent too. All in all, better veggie options than most brunch places but flavors were just ok read more

You know, this place is super trendy and you really, really want to like it. I feel as a resident I'm suppose to love this place through and through, but I just can't. The whole Hillsboro Villiage area is one big horrible place to find parking, but that doesn't mean I don't brave it for certain stores. When you finally find a parking spot you head in, and while the guy who took my order wasn't rude, he wasn't exactly a teddy bear either. Then we come down to the grub. The food was awesome, I have to give this place that. I wish I could remember what it's called, but it was a chicken, sweet potato type lunch and it melted in my mouth. As far as portion size is concerned, it's overpriced. I would go back if someone wanted to try it. It's just not a favorite because after circling the block trying to find a parking spot, I don't want attitude. read more

Love this little eclectic spot for lunch! While visiting Nashville for business I was looking for a great place to break up the day and grab a tasty lunch. Well I found it with Fido My meal consisted of the following.... - Turkey and Cheese Sandwich - cup of Tomato basil soup - Root Beer - Rice Crispy Treat I believe the place was a pet store place before serving food so there is a dog theme. Which I was not that into but other than that. LOVED it. The young staff was working like crazy and the service was great! read more

This place has a fantastic atmosphere and great coffee. I love the decor and wooden booths, and is nestled in a very cute, walkable neighborhood with restaurants and shopping. Definitely recommend! read more

You had me at "we put vegetables in our muffins". I love this place, particularly for breakfast/brunch. Scrambles are tasty, and the coffee is pretty good, too. A trip to Nashville isn't a trip without at least one Fido excursion. read more

Fido - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Fan-freaking-tastic. I haven't been to Nashville for about two years and thankfully Fido is still as amazing as I remember it. Great food with awesome service. The huevos ranchero is most definitely a must eat. Soft yummy hash brown topped with over medium fried eggs, black beans, avocado and home made salsa. It is also served with a side of two warmed tortillas. The after effect of eating their huevos rancheros is a clean plate and a happy belly. Totally worth the $9 it cost. Tastes fantastic with the fruit tea. And don't forget to get at least one muffin to go!! read more

I've been here several times but only for coffee. Their local flavors are absolutely worth a try. I don't really like the inside because it's often too crowded and feel stuffy, but the outside view is pretty nice. read more

Fido - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My husband and I came here for a quick breakfast before walking around Nashville and it was the coolest place! Pretty big for what I originally thought it was from the outside, but the food was awesome! We got breakfast food (eggs, bacon, the usual) and everything was great! The wait staff was the sweetest and we'd definitely go back :) read more

Fido - McFido & an Iced Coffee were the perfect start to our day! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

45 minute line. Didn't have gluten free buckwheat pancakes or gluten free anything. Had run out I guess? Super poor service. Had to bite the bullet and order a side of fruit and bacon for $10 since I had already been waiting forever and have places to be now. Boyfriend had a mediocre veggie sausage sandwich. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Terrible start to anyone's day. read more

Delish! Good food, excellent coffee, and friendly staff. We loved this place. The coffee is roasted just 2 doors down at Bongo Java Roasters. All 4 of us got something different from the menu and we were all pleased. The portion sizes were great, too, unlike a lot of hipster-ish places We'll be back! read more

DELICIOUS FOOD! Line was insane - I called in my order from the restaurant and posted up at Rev Coffee across the street to get some work in. It ended up being an awesome plan. I will def be ordering from here again read more

My boyfriend and I love their veggie burger and amazing fries Sure the lines are always long but they move fast and the food is good. On a spring day get a seat outside. Perfect to people watch. read more

Ordered takeout and it was delicious. The inside has a lovely ambiance - would love to go back and have a meal (or 7) inside!

On our way home from Bonnaroo and Fido provided just the lift we needed to make it all the way. Located near Vanderbilt on a happening stretch of 21st Ave, it has both indoor and outdoor seating. Huevos Cubanos was recommended and outstanding. Great flavors and very clean. Also has meat and vegetarian options, so everyone should be happy. I would definitely come back. Thought the no-sugar-added blueberry muffin was quite bland, but I suppose that's what happens when you go sugar free sometimes. Other than that, this meal was perfect. read more

I should actually give this two scores. For food and coffee I'm definitely a fan. Both are great so 4 stars. On the other hand, I tend to do a lot of work at coffee shops and my one complaint about Fido's is that it's practically impossible to find a good seat that has a power outlet. The only ones are really along the front corner window where there are a few bar height seats, but you get nailed by the sun there. For this reason I don't actually go there very much. That gives it 2 stars for it's comfort/conduciveness to a good coffee shop for working. Hence, my 3 star review. So if you're just in it for the food and drinks (or if your laptop has a fantastic battery) I'd recommend it. If you're looking for a place to spend some longer working hours I would suggest Edgehill Cafe around the corner. read more

A coffee shop in what used to be a pet shop, hence the name Fido. What a novel concept! To top it off, the drinks are on par with any gourmet coffee joint on the West Coast. For coffee junkies like myself, it's places like Fido that gives a city street cred...I mean national cred. It's what separates Nashville from, say, Memphis. I didn't try any but a cookie monster of a friend told me the cookies I got for her were very buttery - code words for very good. If I was a Vandy or Belmont student, I'd be spending my textbook money here more often than it is fiscally responsible to. Good thing my college campus didn't have a coffee shop like this across the street or I might owe more student loans than I already do. read more

This coffee shop is an interesting place to visit, for its coffee house atmosphere and to get a look into the Vanderbilt area of Nashville. I'm pretty sure I'm stealing someone else's comment about this place, but I have to agree: this place is so hipster it hurts! I stopped by during dinner time on a Saturday and found it busy but not overwhelmingly packed. The coffee shop is pretty expansive, and there's a lot of variety in the seating--bar seating by the windows, table seating, and booth seating, plus patio tables in front and back. I love the interior design here--there are exposed brick walls, an industrial ceiling, and lots of dark wood. I ordered the tomato and herb soup of the day, smoked salmon bagel, and cappuccino. They have a good ordering system. You wait for your coffee until your buzzer goes off, then you pick it up. My drink took less than five minutes to come. Then if you have food, you're given a little picture of a dog on a metal stick and your food is delivered to you when it's ready. I took a seat at one of the bar window seats, and my food came about five minutes after that. The food was good and filling. The cup of soup was very small, but the bagel was almost overloaded with fillings. The cappuccino was excellent, just what I would expect for a place that's billing itself as a legit coffee establishment. I took advantage of the free wifi while I ate (I clearly wasn't there during peak hours) and people-watched outside. Whenever I travel, I love to get a feel for the local college scene by checking out the places in the university area where students go. While I know that not everyone at Fido was a student, it certainly felt like all of them were! From the combination of the interior decor, the baristas, and the clientele, this place screams hipster. Now, I can play hipster like the best of them when needed, but it was almost overwhelming how self-consciously trendy this place was. While I was waiting for a coffee to go after I'd finished my food and internet session, I must have been checked out by every person in the coffee shop, guys and girls alike. So yeah, if you're in the mood to show off a new outfit or just generally be reminded as to how hot and hipster you are, then Fido is probably the best place to go for that kind of self-affirmation. Overall, worth it to go here and say I've been. If I was a Vanderbilt student I'd probably end up frequenting the place often. But as a working professional (even if I can pull of the young hipster thing), I'd definitely go to Crema, the other coffee shop I visited in Nashville, for an environment where you can relax, get some work done, and have a great coffee shop environment. read more

If you're in Nashville and you like coffee you must go to FIDO. Go! Go! Go! I love this place. Not only is all of the coffee amazing, but the food is spectacular, and more importantly the vibe is right. Note, this isn't a Starbucks and your drink won't come out in 30 seconds. Some of the speciality drinks on a busy day will take 5-7 minutes. Be patient, it's worth it. I recommend getting here on the weekends pre-10am to beat the brunch rush. There are a few outdoor tables, but they're very limited and quickly taken on a nice day. This isn't a great place to study if you're a student. Back in my grad school days I would try, but they often cut the wireless in an effort to discourage long-term stays. This is an amazing place to catch up with a friend. I would frequently go here to meet up with out-of-town guests or my best friend who had been traveling. I come here every time I'm back in Nashville. It'll always have a piece of my heart. Parking in the back lot is tough to score, go two blocks south and grab a side street parking spot. read more

I've never used a MacBook and don't own skinny jeans, so this place even appeals to non hipsters. I've got this group of friends that likes to make our way through the bars and restaurants in Belcourt, Hillsborough and on to Midtown on Saturday afternoons. Fido is the best place to start because it's one of the only places I can get this winning combination, in this order. 1 medium iced latte 2 mini cupcakes (preferably lavender) 1 grilled Tennessee Cheddar and ham sandwich 1 bottle of beer (they have a nice selection) Highly recommend! read more

This is one of my must visits whenever I'm in Nashville. Cute atmosphere and a great location in Hillsboro Village make it easy to stop in to recharge while walking around the neighborhood. Do yourself a favor and try the Milkbone Latte (honey/vanilla/espresso/milk) then drool over the muffins and cookies in the display case while you wait. Delish! read more

Sweet potato fries! I love that they are baked but still flavorful. The horseradish goes well with the fries too. I had the Eden Salad which was great but I feel like there's a lot more to explore on the menu. It's kind of a place that does anything and everything. read more

Fido - Local latte is so good with the local honey - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Meh. The 45 min-1 hr line is not worth the mediocre breakfast food. Don't let the line deceive you! It wraps around the corner inside the store and moves pretty slowly. I ordered the Meat & Three and a regular coffee. The saving grace of the uninspiring plate was the sausage, which was crispy and flavorful. The eggs were soft and fluffy but unfortunately completely tasteless. The coffee was pretty good but to me it's very strange to pay for refills for just regular coffees at a breakfast/brunch establishment. read more

Just a disclaimer, didn't actually order anything here cuz I had no money. I was just eating off my friends plate haha. But still...the food is awesome! Love their fries and their bison burger. Both are seasoned incredibly well. Not from Nashville, but I'll definitely be coming back here if I'm ever in town again! read more

Cute place and good service. The food left something to be desired. We had the bagel with salmon. It seemed very thrown together...nothing special for $10. We didn't finish it because it was so blah. Wouldn't recommend it based on this experience. read more

This was probably the BEST restaurant/cafe that I have ever been in my entire life. Just going inside, the mood was very casual yet fun, and also studious(?) The line was a bit long but it has to be that way when Fido is amazing. However, because the servers work so quickly, I moved up from the back of a 15 people line to the front of it in 5 minutes. The cashiers were extremely friendly and humorous when I started ordering, so customer service was undoubtedly flawless. Once my friends and I finished ordering (by the way I thought they would not particularly enjoy our 10 separate checks. No, they were more than happy to cater to our needs.), I figured the food would take a long time to come out because the cafe was essentially FULL. However, the food came out within 15 minutes, the perfect amount of time it takes to start getting bored of waiting for the food. Now, for the food... I have never been in a situation where the people I eat a meal with don't take pictures of their food... But NO ONE took pictures. Instead, we all dug in. I got the Green Chile Mac & Cheese. I usually don't like mac and cheese, but I succumbed to the mac and cheese peer pressure. Wow this was great. The sweet potato and coconut soup that came on the side was marvelous as well. We all shared fries and hummus.... And I don't even need to explain because they were all good. Overall, I definitely recommend going here to either hang out with friends, eat alone, or have a study session. Plus, I hear it's Taylor Swift's favorite cafe. read more

Fido - Menu of lunch/dinner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I had the best diabetic breakfast this morning here and it was very sweet, red velvet cake and blueberry pancakes w whipped cream and syrup and butter. read more

I wouldn't go back for the coffee. Previous experience for breakfast several years ago was positive. But this was memorable for overly expensive takeout coffee, the small size was more like a shot glass, luke warm, asked to replace and it came back with a bunch of grinds at the bottom. Disappointing. read more

This is a wonderful place for brunch! Good service, even when busy, food came out quickly and was delicious. I had the village scramble, my wife had sweet potato french toast. We will be coming back the next time we are in Nashville! read more

Don't order to go from here took 30 minutes for a freaking bagel while I watched people behind me literally get there food before me. $16 for a bagel and cold brew was a waste of money. Finally after complaining to the poor barista, my order came out and then they ended up getting my order wrong read more

My favorite place in Nashville to grab breakfast! Everything is always so fresh and delicious. There are vegan and gluten free options which is seriously so appreciated. Pete's Breakfast is my absolute favorite. The employees here are always so kind as well. I love coming here to study while enjoying some great food and omg don't get me started on the coffee. They have my favorite latte here (Bongo Java restaurant). If you're in Nashville you need to check out Fido one morning. Fido is a must! read more

Cool vibe, friendly service, decent food. The place is huge, there's plenty of space for study, meetings, dates, or running into TV stars....yeah that happened. Gunnar from the TV show Nashville apparently approves of Fido! That's not a bad endorsement. I didn't actually try their coffee, but it all looked and smelled great. I had the veggie burger with sweet potato wedges. The sweet potato wedges were amazing! Nothing too special or crazy about them, which is what I liked. The burger however, was lacking. It had good flavors going on, but very mild and subtle flavors at that. The bread was REALLY dry, which kind of ruined it for me. I'm sure the rest of their food is better, and I will try it again. Dessert looked amazing here, maybe I'll come back for coffee and dessert next time! Overall, this is pretty much what you want out of a coffee shop. Spacious, warm ambiance, wifi, coffee, food, and it's in a great area... Fido Comin' in strong! read more

Fido - Veggie burger with sweet potato wedges. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I'm here so often that some of the cashiers/baristas know me by name. While that's pretty embarrassing, it definitely says something. This place is one of my faves in Nashville. I've had just about everything on their menu, all of their coffee drinks, and most of their bakery items. I've never once been disappointed by anything. There are definitely some items I love more than others, The Hangover and Sweet Potato French Toast are mind blowing. Anytime I go here with anyone those are always my two recommendations. You can't go wrong with any of the egg scrambles and the local latte is a staple in my diet. My favorite muffin is the beet chocolate chip one- it sounds weird but I promise it's delish. I recommend anyone visiting Nashville to come here, it's a must. And if you live here you should be going at least half as often as I do! read more

I have been to many of Nashville's restaurants over the years, and Fido is simply one of the best. The food is spectacular (Steak and Hash!!), the ambience is relaxing, and the coffee is always great. read more

The chocolate chip pancakes are the best!!! Plus who can beat a latte that's presented perfectly! I would recommend sharing the pancakes though because they are pretty big and there are a few of them. This is a must try if you are in the neighborhood! read more

Yum! The coffee is delicious. This is a great spot for catching up with friends or curling up with a good book. The staff was friendly and it seems like they really enjoy working with each other. My neighborhood coffee go-to without a doubt! read more

I've been to Fido four times and I've enjoyed it. It has a good atmosphere and, most importantly, they have good coffee. (I've tried their espresso and three different coffee blends.) The food also looks good, although I haven't tried it. And they're always hopping, but I've been able to find a spot to sit and talk and/or work. Just a really nice spot. They do lose a star, however, because two of the four times I've been there, the carafes (both of them) have been out of coffee, which just seems way too high of an occurrence for, well, a coffee shop. read more

A trip to Nashville, TN is never complete without a stop at Fido. Fido is a good place to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can't go wrong with the Village Burrito or Steak Scramble for brunch on the weekends. If you would like to try an espresso drink I recommend the ROLO(VER), which has a double shot, mocha and caramel sauce with milk. It is topped with whipped cream & chocolate shavings.
