My favorite breakfast place! Staff is great & super friendly. The food is always fresh and delicious- and they are quick with service too!

Nest is a cute little cafe. It's not an in and out lunch destination. They do take their time and it does get crowded, so it does take a hot minute for your order to get to you. If you're in a hurry, you should order on their app. I got their Caesar wrap and waffle fries. Waffle fries were great. The Caesar wrap is warm, so if you don't like your lettuce warm, steer away. read more

The food was average. The Summer Salad was difficult to eat and cut in the bowl it was served in. The experience was unfortunately dampened due to an influx of flies. read more

After waiting ONE HOUR to get our food after ordering, paying and tipping 25%, this is what we got. My father in law never got his food. I'm writing this review 1.5 hrs after we placed the order. Everyone at the table got food after an hour and 10 mins. 1.5 hours later my father in law still hadn't eaten. We ordered beignets soon after placing our original order. 1.5 hours later still no beignets! I don't know how this place is in business if this is how it's ran. Food: check the pictures! My husband and I ordered Smoked Salmon Lox which is supposed to have cream cheese...almost no cream cheese. My daughters' grilled cheeses were barely warm and the cheese was barely melted. The coffee was good. My latte was delicious and thank goodness I got a to go cup, do not get a mug here cause you never know how your mug is handled! The servers were nice. But unsanitary. While waiting to order, we saw the barista making a coffee. She spilled a little bit and wiped the counter with a towel then used the same towel to wipe the mug all around including the rim. This drink was taken to a customer! The towel used was already dirty with coffee prior to wiping the counter. The counter was wiped and THEN the mug where someone will drink from... really gross! I wouldn't come back here. The excuse given for waiting one hour for food that was not exactly as described "we're busy and everybody is waiting an hour too". Great thank you. Can this be told to the customer when they are ordering? That would be nice. Also, there were several tables that ordered after us that got their food. I was told it all depends on what you order, we ordered grilled cheeses for my girls... level of difficulty in making this is minimal. The salmon lox didn't even have cream cheese so really... what's the excuse? read more

I brought my girlfriend her for brunch while she was in town. We arrived just in time as a line started to build shortly thereafter. There is not a lot of space inside for groups of more than 4. But there is plenty of space outside. There were a lot of unique menu items such as beignets and lolly waffles. read more

Visited 8am on a Saturday before the crowd. I found the register girl friendly, other employees were just standing around behind the counter chatting. They could step up on customer engagement like greeting you upon entering. The egg plate and lox croissant were good and the matcha latte! Plenty of seating available and disposable cups available to take your coffee to go! read more

They have the best White Mocha Latte! Food is always good. Their customers rewards points go along way. The outdoor patio is very spacious.

Nest Cafe Alpharetta We enjoyed our meal here. The tortilla soup had a little heat to it. A hearty mixture of veggies with small amounts of chicken & beans. It was also good for dipping, which I did with my chicken ceasar wrap. A bite of the wrap, then a dip into the soup. Although the wrap by itself was tangy & juicy. The wrap was grilled, with a perfect crunch, which held the ingredients in nicely. But I still made a delightful mess as usual. Wifey said she thoroughly enjoyed her California Croissant Sandwich. Which featured a chipolte mayo & Chipolte Gouda cheese. I stole her avocado slices & added it to my side salad that came as part of the wrap combo. (she dsnt love avacados) Tha food came 10 minutes after order. I prefer to sit while I'm ordering, but this is a Cafe, & everything starts at the counter. They bring the food to the table, so go ahead & tip when you pay. (which I really don't like bc I'm looking to see if the service is consistent) & the service was very good. It was early afternoon, after church, and there was plenty of Natural light coming through the many windows of the 50 seat cafe. There is plenty of parking behind the small mall area to accommodate all who come. Outdoor seating available. It's also a pet friendly atmosphere. Nest Cafe you have been Tongue Tested read more

In terms of food, this place is easily 5 stars! Sadly, the food is beleaguered by flies coming in the door they prop open for the ordering line. If they solve this space issue, I would raise the stars, but with the prevalent outside seating and the presence of a garage-style door on one wall, they are set up to bring the outside inside. Call me a Kevin as you feel led, but at this price point I expect not to have to shoo flies from my food while sweating from the rising temperature. All that said, the waffle lollipops are probably the best thing we had. My pancakes were also delicious, as was was my wife's smoothie and my daughter's grilled cheese. The frozen coffee drink was also good, but sweeter than I had expected. My daughter wants to go back, so perhaps next trip I'll be less curmudgeonly and update! read more

This cafe is amazing I walk here frequently from my Job and its always delightful to come there and the atmosphere is just one of a kind lastly the food has never disappointed me personally so I have given them 5 stars. read more

Had such high expectations as this location is a short walk from our house. Location great, atmosphere good, staff absolutely pleasant. Unfortunately the food and coffee drinks will leave you lacking if you have true cafe standards vs cafeteria. Example: ordered the traditional breakfast only to find out the eggs are not made to order. They're basically liquid eggs out of a container so served "scrambled", but not scrambled like at home, more similar to cafeteria. Entree came with sausage patty, bacon, very basic toast, and sweet potato tater tots. I'm being honest here, this could of been a school or hospital cafeteria meal. My daughters meal is where I was really let down, as was she. We ordered French toast which was basically 4 pieces of large fluffy bread deep fried in what I swear had to be the same vat of oil they used to deep fry the tater tots. They literally tasted the same. My wife had a warm chicken wrap with salad which was fine. Literally just fine. Nothing special. My cappuccino was more like a 12 ounce hot milk latte with a shot or two of Espresso. At best this was a latte, but even that's a stretch. So 3 entrees and my cappuccino for $50 with 15% tip. If, and a big IF, we go back I'm sure it'll be for a mimosa for my wife and a very basic coffee or espresso for me. Cannot see eating here again. read more

Great food that is very flavorful and fresh. We ordered the Turkey BLT and Southwest wrap. They were both delicious and served with a wonderful pasta salad side. Portion sizes were good. Peach tea rounded out a lovely lunch while sitting outside. However this is definitely a work-a-raunt. We had to get up to get refills. We asked an employee where the salt and pepper were and they advised we had to go back inside to find it. Each bill was $19 which I think was kind of high, considering we had to wait on ourselves. Considering their location in downtown Crabapple I'm sure they pay high rent though. Would've rather paid for sit down service for $19 and paid a tip. read more

We went here yesterday for my sons 21st birthday. The food was wonderful and will definitely return. I got the beignets with chocolate dipping sauce. read more

The Nest Cafe - Beignets with chocolate Sauce - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milton, Georgia

Great place for breakfast or coffee with unique choices and seems to be always fall in the mornings.

Nice place but limited menue for breakfast my kids like it service is good and over all atmosphere is good

The food and service was great and it's a really cute place! I went with some friends and our toddlers and everyone had a great time. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food here is so good! I love love love the beignets! A must try with the raspberry sauce! The sandwiches are awesome. I live for the paninis with some tater tots! Please don't sleep on this location, or do, more beignets for me! They are killing it and every-time I order, it's fresh. I've never sat inside but it look super cute with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is in the deck and can be crowded so that's something to look out for, but overall 100% recommend! read more

So if you are looking for some coffee shop kind of food this place is for you. The food was poor tasting and if you are coming here for the waffle sticks don't bother they are trash. The only one I liked was the blueberry one. Beignets we're good but not real beignets they kinda taste like a Chinese buffet doughnut. As for the service..... these girls are over worked for the amount of people coming in to this cafe they were sweating red in the face and not paying attention to the orders that were over 10pm wait.. my order took 32 mins from time of card swipe to waiting and since they don't really have enough table space you should expect to stand for awhile. I Do Not Recommend if you are just looking at the pictures it's not worth your time or money for the price. read more

Options galore! Be sure to checkout online menu beforehand or else it will take you a while to decide!!!!! Service was quick and super friendly. Meal was deliciousness. Absolutely loved the outdoor seating. read more

I eat there often, as it is close to my job. Every time I've eaten at the Nest Cafe, Crabapple, it's been the exact same experience. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The wait is minimal, the restaurant is clean and the food is amazing. read more

A must try for breakfast in Milton! Everything on the menu seems to be delicious whether you choose sweet or savory foods! Our favorites are the chicken salad croissant and the blueberry pancakes. The tater tots are hands down the best side. There's even something for the pups. If you bring your dog for outdoor seating, they will bring you a water bowl and dog biscuit. read more

I ordered the Cobb salad with grilled Chicken. Essentially it's 1/2 mixed green salad with sliced ham, an egg, crumbled bacon, a slice of tomato and crumbled cheese. The grilled chicken was very dry and was three small slices. It costs $16.00 with tax and not worth it. read more

Ordering was fast and seamless, and the baristas and servers were very welcoming and polite. The food was OK. My omelet was as dull as a "skinny" omelet would be, even though I ordered mine with cheddar cheese and onions. My omelet arrived with almost no cheese or onions. I guess the cook sprinkled the tiniest amount of both into the omelet as they were nearly visibly undetectable and didn't enhance the flavor or texture of the omelet, at all whatsoever. A sad few bites. Omelet aside, I loved the tater tots, which were delicious, crispy and piping hot, and I also enjoyed my chocolate chip pancake. read more

The food and coffee is great. But the staff is just amazing. I come here almost every Sunday with my four year old and one year old. They are so helpful. Today one of my kids made a huge mess. Two of the people just came over and helped. Just quickly. Without question. I'm so grateful for them. Wonderful people. read more

I went for lunch the other day and ordered a. Delicious iced chai latte. The young woman Cass was so helpful in finding something I liked off the menu, as I Don't. Normally enjoy coffee. The chai was incredible and can't wait to come back for more! read more

While it's nice to have a local cafe with patio seating, the food and drink leave a lot to be desired. On a recent visit the croissants were soggy and tasteless, and not worthy of the name. And the coffee was nothing better than Starbucks quality, which isn't saying much. All in all, fast-food quality with a tiny touch of style. Nothing more. read more

Been in the F&B industry for 20+ years in Vegas, Disney, Oregon and Atlanta so i expect above and beyond at all times and I'm very hard to please and its virtually impossible these days to find quality combined with consistency, friendliness and delicious food/beverage for both breakfast and lunch. I'm so lucky to have Nest Cafe by my home to take advantage of the awesomeness they offer. Anything you order at any time of the day is hot delivered quickly. Great spot to get gift certificates as gifts for friends/family. They will thank you for introducing them to Nest Cafe. My "go to spot" for sure. read more

Service, ambiance, food and coffee!! Location is terrific! Wish I could walk to it but a quick drive is worth driving past Starbucks ;)

This place is a great local place to have a cup of coffee. The food is maybe average on a good day. Certainly don't go for the food. Go for a cool outdoor cup of coffee with friends. read more

Breakfast spot Milton needed! The paninis, waffles, and beignets were delicious! Love the atmosphere. read more

One of my favorite spots. It's always a nice and easy place to drop into and it's really consistent.

Brunch? Great idea, come here. Their menu gives a variety of selection from savory to sweet and everything in between. There truly is something for everyone. Great vibes for families, friends, or even a date! My favorite savory item on the menu is the chicken pesto panini with tater tots. Something on the sweeter side would be the Belgian waffles on the stick. Love it and will be back for more! read more

Went here for lunch. Stood in line for 20 mins waiting to place my order. Although they had three registers at the counter they only had ONE person taking and ringing up the orders. Two other people behind the counter - making coffee drinks? One person running the food out to waiting customers. Waited another 15 mins for the food. The food was decent. But if you're expecting service in a timely manner you might want to call ahead to see how many people are actually working the counter. Not sure if I'll return based on how they deploy their staff during a prime service hour. read more

Food and coffee is delicious and the staff is very friendly! Perfect for a peaceful start to your morning!

Waited nearly an hour... good thing my lunch companion was easy on the eyes. Ordering was fast and they quickly brought our drinks. Then my husband's sandwich arrived. But my panini wasn't ready yet. Ten minutes past, and we asked the lady who took our order about it and she snapped "we're running a 20 minute wait!". While I can completely understand how long it takes to make a panini, my husband had already received his and finished it. When it had been 40 minutes (giving them the benefit of the doubt that it takes 40 minutes to make a sandwich - granted others had already received their food all around), we asked again and were told they were still working on it. If they could have just owned it (maybe they forgot, maybe they took it to the wrong table, who knows) and apologized, I would not have felt the need to let others know that just past The Nest is Knuckies - a delicious sub place that actually completes your order. read more

This is The Nest Cafe's second location. Same great menu as the Alpharetta location. Nice to see familiar staff from the Alparetta location as well as new faces. The welcoming, friendly service is a constant in both locations. This location is roomier with a lot more natural light (one of the large wall panels opens up to the outside patio). Another great place to enjoy a meal! read more

Very nice place. Small but good, I usually go weekdays as it is less crowded and service is quicker. Will repeat.

Love this place! The food was great, the staff was very friendly, and the ambience is charming. I recommend the Smoked Salmon Lox and the Southern Style croissant. The lattes are also very tasty too. read more
