Fido

Adorable coffee shop with a light selection of food and nice variety of coffees. The atmosphere was warm and very spread out with ample seating. The art was cute and souvenirs were nice. We enjoyed the avocado toast, house salad, smash burger, and kid’s burger. The amount of fries was a bit disappointing though and the service was mid. Overall we would visit again.

Stopped in for lunch and everything was delicious. I had the biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs and potatoes, plus a side of bacon. The gravy had a kick to it that I absolutely loved, and the bacon was cooked perfectly—crispy but not burnt. I also grabbed an iced chai tea latte to go, and it was the perfect sweet treat to end the meal. Great food, fast service, and a fun vibe. Don’t miss out on this super cute spot. Bring your laptop, get some work done, and enjoy some quality people-watching while you’re at it.

Fido cafe is such a cool spot with a wonderful atmosphere, a brunch the whole group loved, and our experience was made absolutely magical by Alma! She didn't just serve us, she brightened my entire birthday with her infectious energy and warmth. Alma shared some info about Taylor Swift's early Nashville days at the cafe, which fed my Swiftie soul. She even busted out a dance move and just made the whole visit feel like a celebration all for a stranger. And that birthday cookie? The GIANT cinnamon roll? Delicious! Can't recommend this place (and Alma!) enough. 💛✨ Ps as a Swiftie, learning more about this cafe's connection made it even more special. Looks like it might close in a few years, would be such a loss. Hope someone's (🫶) paying attention to keep this place alive!

Found on Google while visiting for the weekend and decided to give it a shot. Casual breakfast and brunch spot with a good amount of indoor seating and some outdoor too. I got a simple bagel sandwich and it was fine. Pretty bland but nothing bad. I could just add salt and pepper myself but wasn’t too hungry so ate half of it. Overall no real complaints, was exactly what I expected. Decent spot to grab a quick bite and chill for a bit.

What happened to this place??? This was always a favorite among the locals. Stopped in for breakfast and was HUGELY disappointed. Bacon was limp and greasy. Biscuit looked frozen, cooked yesterday, and reheated today. Completely inedible. $40 for two to eat diner food. Stick to the coffee and find your food elsewhere.

Delicious food. We got the Garden Rise and the Avocado toast. Great service and very friendly staff. Perfect Sunday morning brunch spot.

As an out of towner we really just wanted good food and coffee without the hustle and bustle. Picked the perfect spot! Free 1 hour parking just across the street. My avocado toast was some of the best I have ever had and so was my latte! The hubby had a steak burrito and loved it. Zero wait, quick and kind service. 10/10 will go back!

For a brunch, I wanted to try a spot that I had not been to before, so I tried Fido, near Vandy. Such a great place to to try and go back. Everyone was really nice. I ordered their Ricotta toast with berries drizzled with honey and adorned with mint. It was so good! I had their April shower chai that had an edible butterfly. I would definitely put this on my list to return. Just make sure you scan the QR code when you go in. If you don't, you could possibly get a ticket😉(I didn't have to pay since I had my receipt).

Cute coffee shop in Hillsboro with tons of seating- perfect for catching up with friends, remote working (there is Wi-Fi) or even a solo afternoon. It's a bit pricey in my opinion for what you get so its not my go-to cafe but its worth checking out and the dog theme is a nice touch. I grabbed lunch here on several occasions and found the quinoa bowl dressing super tasty and filling. They have all your classic espresso drinks and cold brews available. Service is quick and friendly. There is also complimentary 90 min parking out back which is nice!

We came for a girls trip and stop her for an early lunch, despite them running out of some things I chose to try the steak sandwich AND LET ME JUST SAY O M G! That was one of the yummiest meals I had over there. The steak was well seasoned the bread was crunchy, I wish they had this over in South Florida. There was a time issue with one of the orders but the staff handled it so well! Very nice staff. And the location is super cool there's an indoor "outdoor " area super cool! Highly recommend

Loved this spot! My breve was delicious! The staff was really nice. Plenty of seating. And I adored the dog themed drinks! Hillsboro Village is a great spot to walk around and relax too. And Taylor Swift said she loves it, so it must be great. And it definitely is.

Super cute coffeeshop in Hillsboro Village area of Nashville! Great place to hang out for a coffee date or get some work done. There is a lot of seating inside and two outdoor areas. Their coffee drinks are pup inspired. Eric was super friendly and helpful during our time there today and would highly recommend his service!

I've stopped by Fido a few times now and am always impressed! Located off of 21st Ave, Fido is a popular local spot for coffee and brunch. Fido has seating both outside (mostly in front of the shop on 21st, although there is limited seating in the back) and inside. The inside ambience is laid back and would be a great place to get some work done (many people had their laptops with them). The indoor seating is varied: there are tables off to one side, booths in front of the cash register, and single seats at a bar overlooking 21st Ave. The staff is always very friendly and patient with my indecisiveness! There are just so many good options to choose from. Although they were advertising their special spring drinks, I felt I couldn't go wrong with one of their "signature drinks". I opted to go with the "Local Latte", a coffee with honey, cinnamon, espresso, and milk. Of note, drinks can be made iced or hot and there are several options for milk (I went with oat!). The coffee was so good- some of the best I have tried in a long time. A perfect sweetness that complimented the more acidic espresso. For lunch, I ordered a breakfast burrito which comes with your choice of meat (I went with the veggie sausage). This dish comes with a green salsa for dipping. Although the burrito seemed small, it was packed with food. The eggs were fluffy, the potatoes crispy, and the tortilla encompassing the burrito perfectly cooked. The salsa was amazing with a more subtle taste that paired well with the burrito. I was really impressed. I'll be back!

I had a great experience for brunch at Fido! My friend and I went on a Saturday afternoon. It was a little crowded, but there is plenty of seating, so we were able to find an open table tucked away in the back. The menu had a wide variety of food and drink, so there's something for everyone! I wasn't terribly hungry, so I got one of their seasonal lattes and a bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was toasted to perfection and served with a generous amount of cream cheese. The latte was also delicious! Service was efficient and friendly. We were greeted warmly by the barista immediately upon walking in. He had a lot of great recommendations when we asked. Pricing was reasonable too! Tables were bussed pretty quickly and the cafe felt very clean. Even the bathrooms were tidy, which I thought was impressive given the brunch rush. Overall, Fido was great and I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in Nashville.

Our friends at Fido have been serving up delicious eats and beautifully crafted coffee options for almost 25 years now. The service was friendly and informative and I loved their festive specialty drink menu. My burger was delicious with a noticeably high quality sweet bun. You could argue that the fries could've been fried harder, but that's personal preference. They were nicely seasoned with an uber yummy fry sauce for dipping. Definitely recommend this Nashville treasure to anyone visiting or otherwise.

Cute spot in Hillsboro Village for some coffee and remote working! The neighborhood coffeehouse vibes are strong, and you can tell this is a go-to for a lot of folks who live nearby. The dog theme is also a fun addition, and it carries on throughout the restaurant. I met up with a friend here around 8:30 on a Monday morning, and I love that there's plenty of space to spread out. We snagged a booth near the counter and ordered a couple of drinks, which were ready quickly! I went with the Local Latte, which was refreshing and sweet, with a strong honey flavor. We didn't get any food during this visit, but I did note their tasty sounding breakfast options for next time. We hung out for a while and worked, enjoying the upbeat music they were playing throughout the shop. There weren't any outlets near our booth, but maybe there are some in the other seating area. Even still, this is a nice little local spot to spend a morning, and I would return!

This is a very solid spot! We were looking for a brunch-time place around Vandy's campus and this place fit the bill and was able to seat us right away. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I immediately gravitated towards the hot chicken sandwich. I love Nashville hot chicken so much and I wanted to see how this one compared. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! And the fries and sauce that accompanied it were so tasty too. I would definitely order this again the next time I'm here. My two other friends that I came with also really enjoyed their meals. The staff was very sweet and attentive, and the ambiance was very busy college weekend brunch, to the surprise of no one. We had a really good experience and I'd recommend this place to anyone!

Food was great! Loved the fry sauce! Will be back for sure. Friendly Service. Food quality was excellent, fresh ingredients! Cool vibe nice music playing.

Adorable little neighborhood coffee shop that serves great coffee. The service was excellent and we received our order pretty quickly. Be sure to stop by and support this location.

I went 30 minutes before closing, and kitchen was closed so I didn't get to try anything food wise. One of the female employees complained to another coworker about wanting to find another job very loudly. Considering we were the only ones there when we ordered, it took 20 minutes to get two coffees. I got the Punkin spice latte which was okay. The notes of the coffee itself were very fruity which I didn't think fit with the pumpkin spice latte. Great aesthetics, but 12th South has better coffee.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast option before a work training. Forgot to take pics of food but it was amazing. Seems to be a favorite as I noticed the number of patrons started to increase pretty quickly while I waited my to go order. Casual vibe which was a plus.

I prefer frequenting local coffee shops when I can. When I lived in Nashville I went to Fido quite a bit. On a recent trip I stopped by again and was glad to see not much had changed. The vibe of the place is that of old school coffee shops which I love. The staff is friendly and helpful, ready to answer any question you have about the menu. The first trip I got a seasonal drink "Sleepy Hollow" which was just the right mix of pumpkin and mocha. The next morning I got the "local latte". This drink is perfect iced and had the right blend of honey and cinnamon. If you're in Nashville and want someplace the locals go to, hit up Fido.

Nice spot but they have only one guy making coffee drinks in the morning. I put in a mobile order and the pickup time was 20 min later. I didn't actually have time to wait 20 min. The businesses in this area are all popular and extremely slow. So make sure you have time. I didn't get to try the coffee.

Fido has surprisingly extensive seating for a coffee shop off of 21st. I love ordering a cup of something and setting up shop to read/write/study, so the ample room was a plus. Unfortunately my chai latte fell quite flat. I like a spicy, bright, flavorful chai... and this.. wasn't.. that. It was just sweet and watery.

By far one the worst food we ever had in Nashville. Loud music makes people yell at each other on each table ! Cashiers speaks so fast and with no intention of helping at all!! And the food !! We got a cheese burger and vegi sandwich! Burger was all burned ( both bread and meat ), they didn't even ask how we like our burger! Sandwich supposed to have some hummus which certainly had none ! Will never go back.

Fido is such a cute breakfast spot in Hillsboro Village. My friends and I love going here for a bite to eat, though it's definitely not on the cheaper side. Here's what I've tried: -Fido Veggie Scramble: 9/10 - I just love this meal, it's my go-to. Their crispy potatos are rich and delicious, the eggs are fluffy and flavorful, and the feta adds a perfect touch of tartness. It also comes with a slice of toast. It's a light meal that leaves you feeling content, though I would say for the portion you definitely aren't saving money. -Breakfast Burrito: 9/10 - Delicious!! Chock full of fluffy eggs, avo, potatos, and more, this burrito is a great bite. It comes with a green salsa that is just divine (I even ask for it when I'm not getting the burrito). It's not super big but my friends sometimes don't even finish theirs. -Gingerbread Chai: 10/10 - No words. Super spicy, sweet, delectable. Only available in the winter months = devastating. -Normal Chai: 0/10 - Tastes like I'm sipping milk. Makes me sad that I can't enjoy a chai here when it's not the Holidays.

Visiting from Knoxville and wanted to stop here to visit with a friend before heading back. My husband and I both got Roll Over coffee. Was so amazing. I got the salmon bagel, the cream cheese on it was amazing. Very filling! My husband got the breakfast burrito and he enjoyed it as well. It is a bit pricey but it was nice to sit and people watch a bit sitting outside. Good experience!

Fido is one of Nashville's true gems. Through all of the "new Nashville" and remaking of Hillsboro Village Fido has stayed the course and offers some of the best breakfast in town.

We've been picking up coffee at this cafe for a few mornings while staying nearby. The coffee is good, although a little on the strong side (some will love that), but the Smoked Salmon Scramble this morning was OMGoodness! The flavors were so good. Think of a fantastic salmon lox bagel w/out the bagel! I didn't indulge in the breakfast potatoes but the star of the show (salmon scramble) and toast were fantastic.

Fido is a Nashville staple, and for good reason. The food and coffee are consistently tasty, and the ambiance is always buzzing with energy. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a place to sit with your laptop and work, Fido has got you covered. That being said, the one downside to this trendy coffee shop is the parking situation - it sucks ass. The lot is small and always full, so you'll almost always have to park on the street, which can be a hassle. Also, finding a spot can be tough during peak hours, such as weekends and weekday mornings behind the building itself, which is a paid lot. Despite the parking challenges, I'll say that my experiences at Fido have always been decent. Their menu is diverse and accommodating to different dietary needs, so there is something for everyone. They also offer a great selection of coffee and tea drinks that rival some of the best coffee shops in Nashville. Overall, I'm a fan of Fido and will continue to come back despite the parking headache. If you haven't checked them out yet, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Fido is one my favorite spots! Phenomenal and delicious coffee and great breakfast/brunch/lunch food. Chill coffee shop vibes and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Usually a long line to order but worth it. For the latte, I got the local latte: honey cinnamon latte - it is made perfectly with the right coffee flavor and great flavors. I think they use Bongo Java which is some quality local coffee. For food, I got the steak and hash - best thing ever. Great taste and it was very hearty. My friend got the chilaquiles and to be honest, not a huge fan because it was mainly chips (but that is what the item is so I get it). I would prefer to have some toast, potato hash, or rice, but chilaquiles is with chips so I get it. We had a dog with us so we had to sit outside and we could not bring the dog inside so one person waited outside. Parking: there is free parking In the back for a certain period of time I forgot - you just have to get a ticket.

Coffee bar that does some great comfort food that can fill you up at a reasonable price. I tried the Steak & Hash: grilled flank steak with crispy potatoes, jack & cheddar, diced tomatoes, spinach, roasted red onions, basil-walnut pesto, and garlic aioli. Super tasty, especially the steak and the walnut pesto. The potatoes were good, but I wish there was about 1/2 as much on the plate and they should have been on the side to maintain the crispiness. But overall this dish was very good. Very much a college vibe here. Not a surprise given its proximity to Vanderbilt U. Service was good.

A Nashville Classic and a great spot to stop for coffee or some breakfast while bopping around Hillsboro Village. The line can get long but moves quite quickly. I was there on a Sunday at 10 and didn't wait more than a few minutes in line and for my beverage. I went with an almond milk local latte that had honey and cinnamon. The espresso was pulled to perfection and the flavors were delish. I would absolutely order again. I sipped on it as I walked to yoga, but enjoying inside is also super simple and allows for great people watching. If ordering food, you can grab a number and find yourself a seat. Also a great place to get some work done. Dog friendly on the patio and a big homage to your fave furry friend. Cheers!

SO DISAPPOINTING ! I read it was the best bakery in Tennessee , I was happy to make it there on my vacation . Arrived just before noon and only a few pastries left . I tried one , did not want to leave without trying . It was extremely dry . The amaretto lemonade and matcha were ok .

I love this place. It's an old Nahville staple and to be honest I had not been there in years until yesterday. My daughter wanted breakfast after we had been to an event and it was almost noon. The Pantry always has a long line so we opted for Fido. The funky easy-going vibe makes it welcoming to anyone. The coffee is great and my daughter got a hot chocolate that was beautiful. She had pancakes and ate every bit - they are huge and delicious. The fruit (fresh blueberries and strawberries) was fresh and not soggy or mostly melon like you get most places. I had the Fido scramble (too many onions but easy to pick out) and veggie sausage- so good. If you're looking for a place to eat in Hillsboro Village I highly recommend Fido (and you can bring your pup if you eat outside).

This is always a favorite spot. The food is to die for and the coffee is really good. I'm really weird about coffee, and the coffee here is always smooth and not bitter, no matter what i order. It's usually pretty busy. They used to have really emo, snotty, rude baristas with nose rings and colored hair who would bite your head off- I miss that! It was hilarious. They have been replaced by freakishly cheerful Vandy Stepford types- I'm guessing they killed each other off in a duel? Come for the wi-fi, stay for the food. I kinda drool when I wait in line. I've never had a bad meal here.

The coffee was decent and there was a lot of seating to choose from. It is in a very touristy spot though and the price reflects that. 2 lattes and a croissant was $20 so I probably won't be back for a while

Food quality has declined since the pandemic and the entire place feels grubby. Can't understand how a non-bar establishment can feel so dark and dirty when all they do is serve breakfast and lunch.

Before leaving for Nashville, my coworker who is a native to Nashville recommended that if I loved coffee Fido was a must try. Before leaving Nashville we knew we were going to be in the Hillsboro area, so we drove down there. On the way to the shop we saw how cute of a neighborhood Hillsboro is, it is located in-between a bunch of shops and has parking in the back. We went to get a parking ticket to park, but it was free for the first hour and a half, I am not 100% sure if this is due to it being a weekday. When we walked up we loved the mural they had, we even found a dog with a tag name of my partners dog. When we got inside it was a cute little shop and they were celebrating their 25th anniversary! When we ordered we got a free mug with their mascot on it, which we loved and cannot stop drinking our coffee at home in. I ordered the brown brown sugar and my partner got the vanilla honey. The coffee was average priced, being around $5-6. The service was incredible and the workers were very kind. We both raved and mutually agreed it was the best coffee we probably have ever had. Our only regret? We waited until the LAST DAY to get over there!

Fido is Nashville staple and loved among the Nashville community. It is sad, however, that Fido is no longer open late nights anymore. The vibe is not what it was when I was in college. Would love to see it open later again since it changed post Covid.

Well it's a sad day to be writing this. Fido used to be one of my favorite restaurants in nashville. For context I'm a nashville native and have lived here for 26 years. I was a regular at Fido for years. I honestly think they had one of the best burgers in nashville too. The fries were to die for with an aioli that you could drink. The breakfast was worth waking up early to beat the crowd for. The coffee was great too! They always had the best music playing throughout the restaurant. It was a unique spot with something delicious for any meal of the day...so good that you could look past the strange interior. Fast forward past many menu changes, management changes, many food-to-table systems (for real too many to count), and finally to just a flat out minimal effort on the menu as a whole. This morning I got one of the few items left on the menu that I loved from the beginning: Pete's breakfast. The menu describes, "two scrambled eggs with tomatillo salsa, Monterey Jack & cheddar cheese, [choice of protein], served with hash browns, red salsa, sour cream, and flour tortillas. FYI, I did order this meal without cheese or sour cream, but cheese did not make this dish what it used to be. What I received: a pale failed omelet, half of which filled with strange varying chunks of veggie sausage, covered in an abundance of oil, not seasoned whatsoever. I got a "side" of no where near crispy potatoes, which was less than half the size of the potato portion that another member of my group received...and the potatoes were covered in what seemed to be Parmesan cheese (reminder I ordered my meal with no cheese). The tomatillo salsa in the "scrambled" eggs was tasteless, the red salsa was more hydrating than my glass of water. So what I was left with was a tortilla filled with unseasoned, oily "scrambled" eggs, strange tasteless chunks of sausage, and watery salsa. The whole thing tasted like watery oil. Don't misread this, this was not just a bad day for Fido. I've spent the last two years giving Fido "one more chance," because I truly loved this restaurant. But now it's just a barebones, bland menu inside a music-less building with chairs that sound like a fog horn when you move them, and they have even reached a point where they have more variety in merch than their "fresh" pastries. Also last issue...there was definitely a man taking a sink shower in the bathroom... Fido, I know the restaurant industry is tough, especially in nashville. But you were what made Hillsboro village not just a tourist trap. Now you're just a backup plan if the line is too long at pancake pantry.

Ok ok. True that Fido's pretty different since we used to stumble in during our HS years but their food is still goood. Their tiramisu latte and house iced latte were nice and the burrito still hits. Plus the new staff is great despite probably having to deal with tourists all day on 21st. Go on a cloudy weekday for the best service.

I had this in 2019 and I rmemeber it like it was yesterday. I got a matcha latte w/ oat milk and a sandwich with amazing potatoes & a bagel w/ almond butter. The other two dishes were my friends who I traveled with to nashville, TN. The food and service here was so good' the atmosphere was so big and cozy. Really friendly service even tho we got a ton of looks. This breakfast was so well balanced and so good for our adventure following this and I would HIGHLY recommend this place! Food : 11/10 Service : 10/10 I remember there being parking around the area or close to the restaurant. We were close to a ice cream place and close to their downtown; so a lot of stuff is close by. I loved it!

This cafe has a large seating area and nice vibes! Very dog friendly! The coffee is the same as Bongo Java because they are sister cafes. Food is decent and they serve breakfast all day. I would recommend this cafe to study, hang out, or enjoy a coffee!

A common Saturday spot for me. The food is great. The smoked salmon bagel is my go-to. Their burger and sandwiches are great as well. Breakfast and lunch are served all day until 4 and of course, don't forget to order a coffee. Be prepared to wait though if it is busy. Nice and spacious cafe with a few different areas to sit.

This coffee shop is the best! It's located in the Q neighborhood of Hillsboro. There are many creative types of drinks to try and we went for the lavender latte. This was unique flavor and was not too sweet. I loved it! The atmosphere is also perfect for sitting for a while we sat on the back porch area, which was very relaxing. Staff was very nice, and we enjoyed our visit!

The barista was kind enough to let my friend add pumpkin to his chai and he loved it. He said it was some of the best he's ever had. I had the hot rollover latte, which was also super good. Love coming here!

Came in for the coffee and we're not disappointed! Would definitely come back for the coffee! Daughter of course love that it was TS favorite coffe spot and the alley mural for pics!

Yum, I am a big fan of Fido. Nestled right in the cute neighborhood of Hillsboro Village. It is such a great spot on this strip. I love to come here when I want to sit and stay somewhere for a few hours. I ordered a refreshing drink, and a small bite to eat. They have great seating, stable wifi, and a delicious menu. This is a place you do not want to miss!

Ok fine...I came here because Taylor Swift ate here once lol. The line was LONG, even at lunch time, but I wasn't in a rush so I waited- it took about 30 mins. The latte was a 10/10 and the breakfast was really good too. I enjoyed the high top seating at the window to people watch on the street.

It's pretty good- the breakfast burrito and burger were good. I think a bit over priced really for what you got, but I also put that down to the state of restaurants everywhere at the moment. As for taste the burrito: the sauce it came with was the shining glory, or so my companion said. Now for the burger (medium): avocado Mayo was spot on, burger wasn't too dry or flat. But again wasn't mind blowing. If you're looking for solid spot for a meal I'd say go if you want to work on your computer or read, but avoid the food (again mainly price wise).

I've always loved this place, a perfect place to leave the office, have lunch, and keep working from here. Tried their lunch today, typically I come for brunch/breakfast meals and it was still excellent. I've recommended this place many times!

Horrible experience all around. Waited nearly an hour for our food, even though it was 2pm and there weren't that many people in the restaurant. And then after asking twice, it finally came out and the fries were cold, the sausage hard, and the bun burnt. But it wasn't worth complaining about because we didn't want to wait for them to fix anything...

Best coffee shop in Nashville. So cute and great food and fast service. Can recommend them enough.

Great breakfast burritos and fun coffee creations. Always a fun walk when i'm in the neighborhood

I have been here a few times and overall I've had some really good experiences! They have great iced tea and a large selection of coffee options. The food is decent as well. I've had the bagel and although it was crazy expensive it was good! When I ordered online though, I've run into issues and the order has been wrong, but in person it's gone great. It's also a nice space to work.

The main issue may be more related to management or staffing, it took 45 min to get our food after we ordered. There is always a line to order but that moves along. But then there were tons of people sitting around waiting for food and drink. A tea shouldn't take 40 minutes to prepare. Obviously really backed up but maybe shouldn't take to go or online orders if that's the case? In addition to that, after all the waiting the food was unfortunately mediocre at best. Not worth the wait. Drinks are more of their specialty so if you have hours to spend it may be worth it to try out. I wouldn't plan to return.
