Great breakfast/lunch spot in downtown Alpharetta. We came on a Saturday morning and although it was busy we were able to find a table & the service was fast. The staff were all very friendly as well. We started with the white mocha which was delicious. I got the California croissant to try something new and my husband got the Nest panini. Both entrees gave a great portion and tasted great. Of course my husband had to order the Beignets which were fresh and soft. read more

The Nest was the perfect late lunch stop. The staff was so friendly and gave us lots of recommendations. I was wavering between a few sandwiches and at their suggestion I got the Philly and a choconana chunk. My husband got the nest panini and a dirty chai. The Philly was great! The bread was soft and the overall sandwich had great flavor. The tater tots were crispy which I love. The choconana chunk was honestly my favorite thing. Perfect texture because it wasn't too thick to where you can't get anything in the straw like some smoothies and shakes tend to be. Classic combo of chocolate, banana and pb. My husband liked the panini but said the chicken was a little dryer than he'd like but some extra chipotle sauce did the trick. The pasta salad was great. We ate outside because it was a lovely day, but there is plenty of indoor seating as well. Cute and cozy. Overall we will definitely come back and try more menu items next time! Excited to try their specials. read more

Love this space, it's big, and bright, and the food is always so good and service is so nice. The prices are a little bit high, but it does make up for it with quality of the everything else. Even the tater tots are really good here. I always get the California club and tried the best panini and loved it as well. You park behind the restaurant in a opened parking lot (free) and it's a very short walk read more

First timers! The Nest Cafe has everything going for it as far as brunch spots go. First of all, location,location, location, second it serves brunch and everyone in Atlanta loves brunch! Third, it has been sitting incessantly at the very top of my restaurant suggestions on Yelp when I searched for brunch restaurants in my area for over a solid year. You finally got me Yelp! Situated prominently on the corner of the Heritage Walk retail area of ritzy Crabapple/Milton GA, the place was packed when we pulled up with a line out the door. We soon realized that this was an order- at- the -counter type of place. You can easily scan the menu using a very large QR code outside at the entrance so you can be ready to order. This was a modern, incredibly clean establishment and the staff was hustling! The line was nothing at all so don't be afraid to wait. It won't be long. There was plenty of seating inside and out and even on a Saturday at 11am it was a brief wait from start to finish. Impressive. My wife and I both got iced coffee drinks. Iced Dirty Chai Latte, and Iced Latte. They were both pretty good but not earth shattering. We will try something else next time because the other drinks we saw around looked amazing! I ordered the Smoked Salmon Lox sandwich on a croissant with tots and a side of bacon. Weird to me on a croissant, but it was actually really good! Loads of salmon! It was deconstructed with the lox and cream cheese inside, and all of the toppings on the side, tomatoes, cukes, purple onion and capers. The tots were tots. The bacon was EPIC!! My wife got the breakfast plate which was a generous portion of scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, bacon, patty sausage and sour dough toast. They cooked the life out of the eggs. They were over cooked and dry. The toast was grilled and tasty, but, for the money, they really should upgrade the jelly. JS. Everything else was perfect! Finally the beignets just had to be tried! I saw them on several tables. The pastries themselves were really tasty, fluffy and fresh but we didn't care for the dipping sauces. They were unnecessary. We would definitely return to this place for brunch AND lunch! This is not just breakfast fare. Plenty of healthy options which I seek out but almost never find dining out. We loved the vibe on the patio and it was a perfect day for it! There are a lot of other things on the menu that I want to try! It was a bit pricy. We dropped over $60 for brunch for two. I don't mind that occasionally but the experience needs to hit on all points. The staff at The Nest are impressive and the restaurant is well run! Lots of menu items to try! We will be back! Get here for a great patio experience! read more

The Nest Cafe was located in a beautiful spot in Milton. They had plenty of indoor & outdoor seating (including umbrellas for each table for shade). The service was friendly and very efficient. I had to try the Lolly Waffles & since an order comes with 3 I asked for one of each flavor. They were all great, but chocolate chip was my overall fav. We also shared an order of beignets with raspberry dipping sauce, delicious. The iced mocha was not too sweet, which is "just right" in my opinion. I look forward to visiting again for brunch. read more

Nest sits at the corner of downtown crabapple (or is it Milton?) with a parking garage underneath for easy access. Order your coffee drink and meal at the counter, hey why not add a scoop of ice cream to it! The food comes out amazingly fast, I hadn't even snuggled down into my seat before my sandwich and drink arrived. Think of Nest as a full service restaurant at a quick service pace. Self service your side H2O and clear your dishes, but do it with a full belly of fresh breakfast (or lunch) foods. The croissants are very moist and heavenly for sandwiching your protein of choice. Had the tree of life smoothie and it hit all the smoothie notes. Appeared to be the spot for meet ups - lots of groups getting into the holiday spirit on a Friday morning, this is not your quiet and read coffee shop! A solid spot in the community. read more

Excellent cafe. Polite and efficient employees, ample indoor and outdoor seating, good food, high quality coffee, and a clean, relaxed atmosphere. I would come here often if not for the price range being a bit high. I could tell the cappuccino and latte were made with high quality coffee (or espresso), and they went well with the other foods. The Smoked Salmon Lox is very good even though it is pricey. I loved how it came with ingredients that tasted good if you put it in, like cucumbers. I would prefer more cream cheese, but it was still excellent. The Beignets were very good too. There were kids around, so families are welcome. Overall would recommend for small families and groups, casual dates, a fun day out, coffee craving, or any semi-casual cafe need! read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast spot in Milton. We walked up to the counter to order and found a table outside with our table number. They had food out to our group of 7 people really quickly. We tried a variety of items and I was very impressed with my California croissant and tots. Probably a top 3 breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Beignets were delicious as well. I'd highly recommend giving it a try! read more

I love their original location in downtown Alpharetta right near Main Street, and this location in Crabapple is just as great. Stopped in the other morning post-pilates class and it was a wonderful addition to my weekend! I went for my usual grilled chicken caesar wrap with a side of their waffle fries (sometimes I go for the tater tots because those are also crispy & delicious). I also ordered a latte (picture attached), which hit just right and warmed me right up. The Nest Cafe is designed so you order at the register and then you are given a number to bring to a table of your choosing. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, and it can fill up pretty quickly indoors (especially these winter months), but from my own experience, the tables seem to flip quickly and people are respectful not to linger too long if there are others waiting for a table. They have a pretty expansive menu for a cafe, and they even offer gelato for dessert. Their tree of life smoothie is absolutely delicious and another personal favorite, and I still plan to try their matcha and chai latte. read more

Beautiful Day to enjoy breakfast on patio with family. Service always fast and friendly no matter how many in line. Order at Counter no problem they deliver to table. Kids enjoyed the Lolly Waffle on stick 3 to order and bowl of mixed fruit. Yummy! The Nest Panini with bacon, chicken, Gouda & Spinach "Soooo Good". The smoothies and beignets are another top choice with hubby. Always good never disappoints. read more

Great customer service, an employee named laquan helped me out a lot. Good coffee. Good location. Good service.

I was looking for a Brunch spot after dropping my dog off for a bath and this place was recommended by the groomer and was also the 1st spot on yelp when I was looking. Let me just say this, the food was GREAT! To make this review no so lengthy, just know all the food we had tasted good and this will be more on the portions, price, ambiance, and service. I had a Lolly Waffle (a waffle on a stick) with a side of tater tots ($11.5) and eggs. I wanted eggs and bacon but that would've been $7 extra so I just stuck with eggs only ($3). Most places I'm scared to eggs because I like them scrambled hard (no wetness) and this place had them right on the FIRST try. And it was more than just 1 egg too. My fiancé had the Southern South Croissant Sandwich with tater tots ($12.5). The sandwich was good the only caveat to this dish was that the chicken was a little spicy for him. (Granted he does not like spicy food at all) The Strawberry Mimosas pitcher ($28) ($8 for individual glasses) was not too overpowering on strawberries or champagne. We fined it all lol. One thing I feel they should inhabit is an overhead fan at the front door. With the doors remaining open, flies tend to fly in and this would prevent that from happening. So instead of just relaxing and enjoying the food and atmosphere, we were swatting our food constantly and using a napkin to cover the pitcher. Also, while waiting on our food, a bird flew in and was by another table making them get up out their seats. The staff acted accordingly and didn't panic and opened the garage style door to let it out then closed it afterwards. Due to constant shooing of flies I had to knock a star off. Hence the 4 star review. Also, it's not so much restaurant style where you have a waiter coming to take your order, but as soon as you come in you order at the register and it is brought out to your table. read more

I had the Nest Panini, and it was ok but a bit disappointing. The description talks about a marinated chicken breast, but I really didn't detect much flavor to the chicken - the chef needs to check out the marinated chicken breast at Joey D's (that's a good marinated chicken). The amount of bacon on the sandwich was nominal, and the cheese was a paper thin slice that I couldn't even taste. There were three quarter size pieces of spinach on each half of the sandwich and the tomato was so very thinly sliced that I didn't even notice it was on there. I just didn't think that the sandwich was well made or very tasty. We also split some pancakes, which were okay, again, nothing special. The scrambled eggs were rubbery and tasteless. Don't know that I'll rush back there. read more

Nest Cafe is a fast casual breakfast and lunch spot in downtown Crabapple. I've been to their downtown Alpharetta location many times, and I'm happy to see they opened another location. The menu is sizable, and my favorite items are the egg and cheese sandwiches and lolly waffles. The lattes are also really good. The outdoor seating is a great place to eat your food. Keep in mind the lines get really long on weekends. You can order online, but there is a $10 minimum. read more

I'm a regular at this location and really enjoy coming here with family and friends. The food is consistently great and the restaurant has a bit of a beachy vibe with the hybrid indoor/outdoor seating. The downtown Milton area is also a pleasant place to walk after a meal. My only issue is that I think they really need to improve their iced lattes. They taste different every time I get them (way too sweet, too much milk, not enough milk, not much ice, etc) and I've been consistently disappointed, especially after it ends up being $7. A latte like this really should be shaken. Pop's Coffee makes excellent lattes that are consistent and here's how they do it https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuRp34_rLfz/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Here's what my last iced latte looked like from Nest. Syrup, milk, and coffee are separated. Not at all worth $7. read more

Good coffee and a nice croissant sandwich. Worth your brunch! Weekends are a little busy but the wait is worth it.

A new favorite brunch place for me in Milton. The Nest Cafe also has a location in Alpharetta, but I liked this one even better. My friends and I came here for an Eid brunch on a Friday morning and were all extremely happy with our experience. First of all, I have never visited a brunch spot with such reasonable (and JUSTIFIED) prices. They really didn't skimp on the portion sizes and the food was all delicious. The lollywaffles (9.95) and beignets (7.95) definitely lived up to the hype. I would recommend all of our main dishes: The Nest panini (12.95) Smoked salmon croissant (11.25) Egg and cheese croissant (5.95) Since we'd been fasting every day for the past 30 days, we accidentally ordered with our stomachs and all ended up in food comas. We also got sides of tater tots (4) and chicken tortilla soup, raspberry sunrise smoothie and a small matcha latte (~$4). I love that all of their smoothies are sugar free and they have an extensive coffee menu if you're looking for caffeine. There's ample seating indoors and outdoors and we got our food really quickly for how much we ordered! There's also a free parking lot right behind the cafe. A perfect brunch spot to visit with friends and family on a sunny day read more

We have loved the nest since before this location existed. We have dined here several times and done take out and curb side before. The food is always hot, fresh, and satisfying! Everything we have ordered has been amazing so you can't go wrong with anything. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking is typically easy with the lot/garage right behind the restaurant just down the stairs. Every time we have people come visit we head to the nest and everyone is always very impressed. So glad this place is here. read more

Service was unbelievably slow. The restaurant was no more crowded than it usually is. Twenty minutes for one order to be served, while the remaining three of us in the party had to watch him eat. He finished his food while we waited another 10 minutes for two other orders. The final meal was served less than five minutes later. If service is going to be this slow, warn the patrons before they order, so they can decide whether or not they should bother. read more

The food is prepared to customer liking . Friendly staff with a healthy option of choices. Offer a variety of frozen sherbets with fruit flavored as well as regular flavors. Delicious fresh fruits not frozen or thawed . They also provide discounts weekly of 10%_20% based on what's the promotion for the week. Great atmosphere where the entire family is welcomed. Indoor or outdoor seating is appreciated especially in the Summer and Spring . I always enjoy going here and having a delicious meal. Everything is Made-to-Order We understand that everyone has different needs and tastes. Our entire menu is made-to-order everyday. You have the option to change any of the breads or add anything or take anything off any item. We have croissants, bagels, whole wheat bread, rye bread, white bread, panini bread, wraps and gluten-free wraps available upon request! read more

Overall The Nest is worth the trip for a casual breakfast in the Crabapple area of Milton. 3.75 stars. Parking is easy as there is garage and lot parking in the building complex. Parking on Sundays can get a little more difficult since Whitetail is busy with cyclists parking in the adjacent lot, meeting up for their weekend ride. Stand in line to order at the counter. The menu is on the wall. You pay at the register, get your number, then find a table. Pro tip: when it's busy designate an order person, have them stand in line and order for you so you can find your preferred table. There are tables both inside the building and outside on the patio, overlooking the busy street, the latter having nice umbrellas to provide shade. Everything is good at The Nest. Breakfast items are all upscale. We like the egg, cheese and bacon croissant. The +sausage option is good, too. It's a fork and knife type dish. The tots are a tasty side dish, but I suggest ordering them well-done. Otherwise they tend come out a bit on the light side. The Nest has some nice salads and a few lunch sandwiches like chicken salad. All are yummy. We don't love their coffee - it's just ok - but with the right barista their cappuccino's can be a work of art, with an intricate latte design on top. One note to ownership: the bus pans in the courtyard attract flies and bees. I know it's convenient to have them closer to the tables, but fwiw the number of insects visiting your customers' food could be reduced by moving the dirty plates and silver away from the seating areas. Service is simple. Entrees are a la carte and about $10-15. Sides are about $4. It's good to have The Nest nearby in Crabapple. Enjoy! read more

Yum yum yum! And consistent! My order was delicious and tasty and always correct when ordering deliver!

This location is new and much larger than the Alpharetta location. Every time I drive by, there is a line out the door, but it moves fast. I have been here a few times now, and it has been great. I have worked from here and the wifi is consistent and strong! Parking is easy in the private lot and since many of the other tenants in the area are not open yet, finding a spot was not a problem. Ordering was a breeze and they have a reward program as well. You get a number and can pick from tons of indoor seating to a large number of outdoor tables as well. Most have umbrellas and there is bar type seating outside, but faces into a brick wall. The inside has a vaulted ceiling so The coffee is excellent and reasonably priced. I also tried the hazelnut frozen coffee which was amazing! read more

What really sold me to come here was their lolliwaffles, and it was perfect timing that I happened to celebrate my anniversary with my fiance nearby that we got to try this place. Their breakfast sandwiches were really good and had more flavor than most I've had around. It was very nostalgic and nice. It reminded me of another brunchy spot on the west coast that I adore. I really wish there were more seating areas but it's understandably as it's on the corner of the street but I like that it was inside and outside seating. It's a pretty popular spot as there was a looong line. Would definitely come back for the lolliwaffles again. read more

I decided to try The Nest for a coworkers going away breakfast. This location offers the "lolly waffle" (waffle on a stick, what fun!) as an option "to-go", and this is the reason I chose this location. Since it was a big order, $200, I placed the order the day before with a pickup time of 8:15. I walk in at 8:20, and I am told it's not ready, it'll be at least another 15 minutes. Now, I know what you're thinking, they are busy.. no, there are 2 gentlemen with coffee at tables in the cafe and 4 people behind the registers catching up from the weekend. Location is horrible. You pull behind the building and walk up 2 flights of stairs to the road and then along the front to find the business. Being in heels and a dress, to carry my Togo down to my car, this is something I would've like to have known. Very disappointing first interaction with this restaurant, I surely won't be back. I hope I'm on time for my 9:30 meeting... read more
