The Nile Coffee Shop

It's great to see vegan places popping up more and more, especially in Mesa, and I want so badly to like this place. Even when there's no one else there, service is painfully slow, and the sandwiches are just okay. The chicken and waffles was really disappointing, kind of stale and cold, especially for the price. To be fair I didn't ask for another one, but I just didn't have 20 more minutes to wait again. I think their menu might be a little too ambitious for the size of their kitchen and staff -- maybe it would be better to stick to drinks and baked goods they get from other restaurants.

We come here every week for our almond milk lattes and delicious scones, pasties or pastries! We've also enjoyed their sandwiches and salads! Servings are generous, service with a smile and such a comfortable place to hang out and visit! Love supporting local!

I am in LOVE with this place. My family and I eat here about twice a week. Just tried the breakfast chicken Sammie today for the first time and almost cried. It was amazing. I also love the Southwest bagel and pretty much any sandwich they have.

Location is neat, right in the heart of down town. For vegan food it is very affordable. My wife enjoys the coffee drinks and they have very good pastries. Their cronuts are amazing, especially because they are vegan. I enjoy their meatball marina sandwich too.

Very nice option in downtown Mesa

The only reason I miss living in Phoenix is for the food. This place was beyond 5 stars and I wish I could visit every week. Even if you're not plant-based, give this place a shot!!
I had the copper state bagel and my husband had the avocado bagel. We stopped here to eat before our flight from Sky Harbor and ate for about $10, where this meal of two fancy bagel sandwiches would easily be over $20 anywhere else (even outside the airport). Not only was the bagel unbelievably soft with the perfect chew, the faux cheese mixed with the green chiles and with the sprouts I added might be my favorite thing ever. My husband was equally as impressed with the bagel and said it's the best plain dairy free cream cheese he's ever had. And the interior was darn cute too. Wish we could have stayed longer to hang out and enjoy a coffee or one of their many teas.

Great food, people and atmosphere. Loved the live music on a Saturday afternoon and the Waffles were bomb!

Just found out that the Nile:

#1 serves cow milk in their coffee so it is not 100% vegan. And #2 they CHARGE you extra for plant milk at a vegan restaurant.

First timer and will be a second and third and forever! I got the Philly with pasta salad and oh my vegan goodness! Even for the meat eaters, I promise you won't regret it. Cute and chill vibe with nice staff. Thanks vegan fam 👊

This place is so cute and close by, its hard to find good vegan places with good coffee. Ill definitely be coming back, the avocado toast was my favorite! also nice staff.

Always good. Nice ppl, good food and nice are for morning coffee.
