The Nile Cafe

Restaurant Cafe Coffee shop

👍👍 Delicious and beautifully presented “Special Avocado Toast”. You may choose “with or without egg.” The Nile Cafe is such a relaxing spot along the Alameda Creek Trail in downtown Niles, we always look forward to biking and eating here twice a week. People often mention good, coffee, breakfast,

    Such an awesome little jewel. Warm atmosphere, good food, in a really cool building. The portion sizes are perfect for those of us that don’t want 3 meals in one sitting. The house coffee is strong and delicious. We will be back! Thank you!

    it's a chill place, and the food is cheap. Vietnam style coffee, nice sandwiches. The outdoor area is hidden while you won't see that from the front door. It's a cute vintage place just like the other shops in Nile.

    Cute eclectic cafe with a relaxed area and fantastic backyard patio area. It's a one lady operation but she's efficient and patient. Meal size was perfect and delicious. My new favorite spot.

    THEY DO NOT TREAT BLACK PEOPLE FAIRLY. Will never patronize this place again. This was my second time coming to this establishment. My mother sat down outside and ordered her food. She paid cash as they do not accept card. She was continuing to wait when a sever asked if she paid for her food which she had. That sever did not believe her so she went and asked another sever who then came and asked if she paid for her food yet again. We sat there a while and watched people come and go and no one else was asked any of these questions. In todays climate they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Lost a customer for good.

    Great breakfast!!!!! The bread is homemade and everything is cooked to perfection! My omelette was amazing! The scramble and the french toast were both incredible! I would really suggest thus place! It is a small cozy cafe with lots of paintings and murals all over the walls! You will never get bored with all if the different colors and many details! Its in the heart of Niles too! So you can enjoy a beautiful stroll downtown as well!

    the place is cool. looks like the owner converted a regular coffee shop into a small restaurant. the food is good and the prices are great. however, i feel like she's taken on too much. we got there today(8/25/23) at 8:30am. she was trying to do everything alone. my standard breakfast was great but i never got my side of handfries. not a big deal at all but bummed i didn't get them. i like the hearty homemade bread. only came with grape jelly. not sure there were other choices but only coming with a single packet of jelly isn't ideal. a helper came and that helped but i think its going to be a tough go if the service level doesn't improve even with good food. again, liked the place but not top on my list to go back to.

    Such a cute little cafe! Amazing sandwiches and such a good vibe. The lady that worked in there was fantastic, and you could tell she really cared about her customers. I hope to go again soon.

    Upon arrival we instantly new this place was a gem. Rich with the Niles community history, this place is warm and welcoming. Along with this friendly environment the food we ordered was absolutely amazing. This place also bakes their own bread 🍞 which is a must try. Much love to the owners ❤️. Thank you for the warm friendly environment you have created for this community. 😊

    My go to place for weekend breakfast and brunches,. I love the place first because of the name and the beautiful murals that reminds me of the motherland, second because the food is amazing, I always get the eggplant omelettes and it always on point. I also get the soy latte, I ask for a medium and it is feels like a large and the taste is heavenly. I sit outside in the backyard that has a nice vibe. Love the friendly and smiley staff.

  • 4/5 Sohini A. 10 months ago on Google
    Super cute restaurant with a delightful garden setting in back and Egyptian murals (The Nile) in front. The omlettes were very good, and I was scooping the last drop of my Vietnamese coffee with a spoon! This would be the sort of place to visit often and linger over a leisurely brunch.

    This place is a hidden gem in the area. Usually no wait and chill. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I really enjoyed their homemade-style food. The price is very reasonable too.

    This place is cute, their sandwiches are very good and the Vietnamese coffee is a must try. If you visit there in the summer, make sure you're near a fan or in the backyard area, or you could always ask to one of the lovely waitresses where they recommend sitting, if the day gets too hot.

  • 5/5 Kathie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this funky hole-in-the-wall breakfast place run by a couple of awesome hard working women. Fresh food cooked to order and a nice coffee are the best things for a great start to your day. It's small, there are only a couple of people working, so if you are in a hurry, this is not the spot for you. Locals love it and I recommend the homemade bread.

    A beautiful place with very humble staff. The little Cafe is run by sweet staff which offers wife variety of food and drinks. The indoor and outdoor sitting is a bliss. Try it out on any weekend and you will love it!
