    The Nest Panini and Tree of Life smoothie
    Gupta R.

    Love the location, place and food. Milton downtown, outside patio and inside spacious area. Modern decor and lots of healthy and good choices of smoothies, panini. Sandwiches and coffee so basically ideal place for brunch. Had their famous tree of life smoothie and The Nest panini with waffle fries . Outstanding service, the owner was there, very gracious! Great food and excellent place.

    Beautiful spot ! Service is quick and i loved the food! I will definitely be back soon! The blueberry lavender mimosa is a must!

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Everyone here was so kind and welcoming. The food was amazing (croissant sandwiches are impeccable and pasta salad is so unique) and the service was great! The cafe is beautiful and clean and a great place to hang out. I will definitely be coming here again!! 100% recommend.

    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.

    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.

    I finally got to attend this place and always wanted to try it since I moved to the Atlanta area…read more I've heard nothing but great things about it. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. It's a beautiful restaurant inside meaning it's good for a date, a night out with friends or family, or a great place to celebrate for a prom or graduation. It's more upscale than a traditional restaurant however I loved it! I came here with my business coach since I won a competition and the prize was to have lunch at the place of my choice. She ordered the soup of the day, which was like this cheddar soup that came with these two sauces, which one of the sauces was a jalapeño based sauce, which was spicy, but not too spicy to wear it wasn't edible. She did like her soup and she also ordered the lobster and smoked Gouda ravioli for her entrée. She had no complaints considering she bagged the food up to go and wanted to finish it right there, but she couldn't. Lol. I ordered the twin seared chicken, which is actually half a chicken pan seared. My chicken was so delicious! It was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection to where it was fall off the bone. Just how I like it! The rice and the green beans paired well with it. My rice was cooked well, meaning it was not mushy or hard. And my green beans were a great consistency as well. My little one had a chicken tender salad since she loves cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, pretty much anything that comes in a salad that's not the lettuce. Lol. I must say I was impressed by the size of the salad because it was huge for a child. It would be great as a size salad for an adult. The chicken tenders were an amazing size, bigger than what most restaurants would give especially for a child's plate. I was highly impressed by the size of the portions for the children because the price is pretty standard for a kids meal entrée in comparison to other restaurants that give less. Our service was awesome! I wouldn't expect anything less considering the ambience of the restaurant. Our server was attentive, and he even bagged up both of our meals for us. This place is a 10 out of 10 and yes, I will be frequenting this restaurant a lot more in the future, even if it's by myself to sit at the bar.

Honestly everything about the place is pretty on point, it's an upscale restaraunt with alot of exposed wood, spacious, well thought out originally. The staff has always been corteous and knowledgeable, the menu always a great diversity (main courses, salads, starters - you name it, always slightly original and inspired) Personally though, it's more of a 'bring a date spot' eating in the dining room (cozy setting) and the bar is a dark area. During covid they removed the patio, so there is actually no outdoor seating anymore. I think that's why I most find myself not going there - is the dining and bar areas aren't super to my liking, I like bright and airy feeling venues. But they do have some live music and specials every day during the week that do make it appealing to be here different days otherwise which is brilliant marketing.

Situated in what appears to have been a private home at one time, the restaurant has multiple rooms which provide the perfect setting for private dinners or (as for us) romantic evenings. Having requested a quiet table, we were quickly ushered into a charming room with only four tables set apart from some of the larger rooms. This was perfect for our anniversary celebration for just the two of us. Our waiter was friendly and complimentary of the menu and it was difficult to choose which of the intriguing entrees to select. After much input and consideration, we chose the braised short ribs and the fried chicken breast. These were not the pedestrian dishes you'd expect. The chicken was tender on the inside and had a delicious crunchy batter which held up to the red eye gravy and mashed potatoes. The short ribs were so tender they almost melted in one's mouth. Our waiter, Justin, provided excellent service and was charming, attentive, and knowledgeable. We have to agree with him that everything was delicious!
