The Nest Cafe

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!

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
