    Pancakes, Side Bacon, Waffle Fries, & Lemonade
    Adreanna W.

    The service was 4/10! We weren't greeted as we entered the establishment! This was our first time in so we didn't know if we had to wait to be seated or if we just seated ourselves. The food overall 9/10! The Chicken Club Wrap was amazing but the scrambled eggs were bland! We loved the idea of The Lolly Waffles!!! The chicken was good as well! The restaurant decor was nice & neat! Dining area could've been a tab bit cleaner!

    I cannot believe this establishment is almost 5-stars. Maybe my experience is a fluke but after paying almost $80 for 3 sandwiches and 3 lattes and leaving hungry - well I am disappointed. I asked server why is my panini sandwich so small and was told it is regular size. My whole party agreed that sandwiches were overpriced for the size. Lettuce was old . Croissants with salmon were good. California panini was a joke. Additionally you don't have servers instead you order at the counter...tables are small and closely next to each other. Hard to have conversation as you are competing with your neighbors... Lastly and most importantly the price didn't seem right to me. I looked at itemized bill and it wasn't adding up. Simply stated numbers on receipt when added don't come up to total. I asked for manager and she stated that their system cannot produce fully itemized bill. Frankly - not sure why their rating is so high ...but for certain I will not set my foot in here.

    This downtown Alpharetta breakfast and brunch spot is an absolute gem for a cozy, delicious morning meal. Despite the busy weekend rush, the friendly and professional staff provide surprisingly fast service across both their indoor and outdoor seating areas. Everything is made fresh to order, featuring generous portions of standout dishes like the Nest panini, California croissant, and hearty traditional breakfast plates. The drinks are excellent--especially the rich white mocha and fresh smoothies--and you absolutely cannot skip the fluffy blueberry waffles or the warm, soft beignets. It's a fantastic find with high-quality flavors, and we will definitely be back!

    Fresh Garden croissant with tater tots

    This is a super cute cafe with some tables inside and some outside. You order at the counter and then they bring you your food. All the employees were very friendly and the service was quick despite how busy they were. The menu is pretty vegetarian-friendly which is always a plus. I had the Fresh Garden croissant sandwich, and it was SO good. The croissant was perfect, the eggs tasty, cheese melty, and the veggies were fresh and plentiful. The tater tots were perfectly crisp! They weren't salted, which I loved but my friends added salt to theirs. My friends all ordered meat sandwiches/wraps and enjoyed them. One got a side salad with hers and it was very large and fresh. I had an iced coffee which was good. We tasted a couple of the gelatos after we ate, but were too full to order any!

    California Club

    The Nest Cafe is a brunch, sandwich place (which I love). Croissant sandwiches, lolly waffles, pancakes, toast and omelets for breakfast, and paninis for lunch, along with wraps and salads. They also serve a bunch of coffee, tea, smoothie, and mimosa options. And gelato!! I just ordered a California panini, and it was pretty solid. Although, it was a little smaller than I imagined for the price ($15). However, it did come with a side! They have indoor and outdoor seating, and a self-serve water and hot sauce station. You order inside and they give you a number to put on the table, so the server will bring your food out to you. The ambiance is that of a classic cafe, with joyous groups chattering, some people working on laptops. A nice place to catch up with a friend, or for a solo date.

    Pumpkin Spice Latte @tiffhuangry
    Tiff H.

    YAY TO THE NEST CAFE | we were running late but wanted a quick brunch bite so we stopped in to Nest Cafe right before closing (IM SO SORRY AGAIN) but they patiently took my order and even though I wasn't expecting much from the menu and my food, I was pleasantly surprised. My eye instantly fell on the lolly waffle (aka waffle sticks) so I ordered that with a side of pasta salad. Weird pairing? Maybe, but don't judge me because that pasta salad hit the spot. I also ordered a hot pumpkin spice latte since we were sitting outside on the patio with the pup (dog friendly!) and the latte art was perfection! Even though it was quick, I definitely will stop in again if I'm looking for a casual brunch in Alpharetta!

    Lolly Waffles with seasonal fruit
    Douglas C.

    A cafe style experience - where you order up front and take your card/number to your seat, and wait to be served. The place is kind of small, but comfortable. People will take tables quickly, so it's best for someone in your party to claim a place to sit while someone else orders. We truly went for the lolly waffles and were pleasantly surprised. You can order them in a variety of flavors, but we went with chocolate chip. They tasted just like Waffle House - which is one of our favorites. Very pleased and worth the trip to try.

    Latte
    Lexi C.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE NEST CAFE! They have so many gluten free options and their food is amazing. The lattes are huge and delicious and the vibes inside and even outside the restaurant are awesome. Staff is super friendly even when they are slammed busy. I recommend everyone to Nest!

    Chai Latte and biscotti!

    Fantastic service Best and prettiest chai latte I have ever had ! Staff very friendly and knowledgeable.

    The Nest Panini
    Lauren C.

    Ordered the Vanilla Latte, Lolly Waffles, Nest Salad, and Nest Panini. The Lolly Waffles were good but I wouldn't say that were outstanding enough for it price. You're mostly paying for the instagrammable photo. The salad and panini were good as well, the panini being my favorite out of all the items we ordered. The place itself is very cute. The latte did take quite a while to arrive, but the coffee was really good. If the latte arrived a little quicker, I'd probably come back for it.

    Ask the Community - The Nest Cafe

    Is this a good place to stay for extended focused laptop work or studying?

    There are a few places around the cafe to plug in your computer, otherwise you will want to have a full charge. Although there is room to work or study, it is more of a brunch restaurant, so they are looking to flip tables.

    Do you take reservations?

    Nope. You need to find the table. I suggest you to find a table while be on the line to order.

    Do y'all offer bottomless mimosas?

    Hi, thanks for the message! We have various different mimosa flavors at The Nest Cafe. We sell these by the glass or by the bottle, which is about five glasses. Our flavors include classic, pomegranate, lavender, strawberry, raspberry, and our… 

    Do you allow pets?

    Yes, our patio is pet-friendly! However, they are not allowed to be within the restaurant unless they are a commercial service animal. Thank you.

    Are you following social distancing rules and limiting the number of people in your Cafe at a time?

    Hi! Thanks for your message. All staff interacting with patrons are required to wear masks and we have blocked a 6ft distance from customers in line to our registers. We have tables spaced throughout the cafe as well as outdoor seating available. It… 

    What is the wait for Sunday?

    Hi, It is always first come first serve at The Nest. We generally have food and drinks out in under 7 minutes. Sunday is our busiest day of the week. We still get orders out… 

    What types of gluten free items do you offer?

    We have a gluten free wrap that is really good with any of our paninis (especially the California) or breakfast sandwiches! We also offer a "build your own omelet", fresh smoothies, and salads. The tater tots and waffle fries are gluten free as well!

Last time I had the Honeycomb Bread and Pistachio Latte which are popular, on my return I had the Shibam Latte and Sabaya. Not a single complaint on everything, the pistachio latte was very soft and easy to drink too quick, the Shibam was a pleasant mix of spices and coffee, the honeycomb bread was almost like having a sweet bagel with tasty honey cream cheese, and the Sabaya was like a super flaky croissant that pleasantly mixes with the lattes. Service was amazing. Muneeb helped us pick something that matched our tastes and was very happy to have us. Atmosphere is just as fantastic as the food.

Their regular coffee is good (out of an extensive drink menu including seasonal specials) and they have a decent breakfast menu. I like the variety of seating in this coffeehouse. There's the main room with lots of tables, high-tops, and couch. I definitely appreciate that there's signage on some tables to mind your time of 2 hours if you're working there. There's also a separate sunny porch area that is much quieter than the main room. When the noise level inside got a little loud with music and typical coffeehouse chatter, I moved outside. You'll find plenty of outdoor seating. I just wish there was a little more shade. I came here to meet with friends on a Fri morning. Thankfully parking wasn't too much of an issue but I can see the small private lot being a challenge for large groups. I'm definitely a fan of the pretzel roll I ordered - contrary to its name, it looks like a nothing like a roll but more like a savory flattened croissant which had some slight amount of protein (can't remember if it was chicken or ham) inside. The coffee was good - I try not to be swayed by the beautiful trendy drinks most coffeehouses are serving. I'd certainly come back to this cafe if I were in the area.

The interior was adorable but what impressed us the most was their approach to coffee. We had no idea there were so many different ways to process coffee beans so we ended up looking them up while enjoying our drinks. Once we learned more about them, we were so intrigued that we actually ordered some coffee online afterward! It was easy to see why this cafe is so popular. The line kept getting longer and longer the entire time we were there. It's a fairly small cafe so seating was pretty limited as well. I ordered the Latte with Caramel Cardamom and it was delicious! My husband got the Coffee Shot of Chamomile Pink Bourbon from their "Coffee Nerd Drinks" menu. He was especially interested in it because of the brewing method.
