We had the most wonderful party for my daughters 4th birthday at the nest. We hired out the whole venue so the children could use both up and downstairs, and enjoy playing in the play area. Bev organised everything from start to finish and organised some great games for them to play. She even came to my rescue after the hired princess got her dates mixed up, by offering additional activities and went out of her way to try and sort it. Thankfully this got sorted as she did warn me she could do everything but be a princess 😅.
The food was perfectly kid friendly and more than enough to go around.
Excellent value for money for a party topped off with great hospitality.
On another note, as a new mum, the Nest has saved my sanity more than once. Great tasting coffee, cakes and food at good value for money, the doors are always open to anyone looking for a coffee and a chat. I could not recommend more.
Lovely welcoming cafe, great for younger children. We love the scrambled eggs and cakes.👍
A lovely cafe with a welcoming atmosphere. Great to visit with babies/kids but equally nice without them! The food is llovely - I particularly like the full English breakfast and my daughter loves the pizza bagel. And the cakes are delicious too! I've attended a lot of the baby groups and classes since having my two children and they have been a lifesaver whilst on maternity leave, it's been great to meet other mums who live near me.
Lovely friendly cafe for families to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere while having food & children can play. This week I tried the full English it was delicious & Great value for money.
Absolutely gorgeous food. Everything is very clearly of an excellent quality. Nice walk from Saltwell Park. We had a jacket with beans and cheese, avocado crushed on a bloomer with poached egg and bacon and a pulled pork and cheese pinini. I'm not easily impressed when it comes to food and I was very very happy. The cakes and deserts are amazing and my little 3 year old was also very happy. Thanks for a great lunch.
Such a lovely experience today. Brilliant child friendly cafe with excellent coffee and cake (my blondie was divine) and really lovely welcoming staff. The food looks amazing too - we will have to come back to try it!
Lovely setting for mother's and children. Very friendly staff. Lots of crafts. Halloween party, Santa's visit, wreath making etc all managed perfectly. We'll worth a visit.
Friendly staff and reasonable prices but coffee not fantastic. Ordered an americana, espresso shot was done first and water put on top and was way too much water, asked for replacement but it was done exactly the same. Also tables are regularly not cleaned even when the place is quiet. I love the place it is perfect to bring my toddler and would just like to offer some constructive criticism.
Very beautiful cafe for families with kids. Food is excellent and fresh. They have specific menu for kids ( smaller portions and lesser prices)
The little play area is wonderful for different ages. Kids can play while you enjoy a relaxing time with wonderful coffee
Came to The Nest after a trip to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, I googled closest cafes from the hospital. This cafe is a Hidden gem of a place, the breakfast was delicious, we had eggs benedict 👌 and the coffee was excellent quality. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our visit.
