    Mocha latte
    Mhailene M.

    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

    The Nest Panini

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Lolly Waffles-one of each Belgian, blueberry, & chocolate chip Featuring Iced mocha & hot white chocolate mocha
    Kimberly F.

    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.

    100% recommend! I got the lolly chocolate chip waffles with waffle fries. I wanted a cookies and cream Frappuccino, but I didn't see it on their menu. Fabio and Dan we're so helpful They suggested a gelato cookies and cream milkshake with a shot of espresso. It was absolutely delicious. This place is so cute, the food is incredible and the employees are friendly and kind.

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. I'm usually not a black coffee drinker but I tried a sip and was surprised by how much I liked it. There were still so many drinks we wanted to try but since this was only a weekend trip, we didn't have enough time. We'll definitely be visiting again the next time we're in the area!

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.
