Me and my friend decided to do a plant-based journey for about a month, decided to check this place out since it’s 100% vegan.I ordered the squawker buffalo ranch sandwich and it was delicious, I do however have some suggestions:The texture from the chicken was actually pretty good I appreciated that, the only thing is that it had almost like a sweet floral taste which I did not like very much but it was very faint and palatable. I just wish there was a little bit more chikn on my sandwich it felt really thin.The ranch was amazing with the buffalo, beautifully done and the sourdough was perfectly crunchy and delicious.I got the potato salad and was not a big fan, I wish they would’ve used the ranch that they used on the sandwich in the potato salad, less dill and whatever that sour bitter taste is take that taste away completely, maybe add some black olives :)The pumpkin pie latte had no flavor unfortunately or body I got the oat milk, had to ask for more sweetener. (I would not get this again)I will be trying other things from this menu 💚

I really like this coffee shop since it only offers mylk options. The iced latte is very tasty with the praline syrup. They recently got rid of soy milk, which is disappointing, but the oat milk is a decent substitute.

Update: They dont serve the Southwest sandwich on bagels anymore - which isnt nearly as good. Also, I wish they added tofu, veggies or a balancing sauce to the new recipe because the chorizo has become very overpowering.The specialty coffees has dropped in quality too. Very disappointed.

Nice quaint coffee shop. Pilite, friendly and clean. Space for a few people to relax inside. Regular and Vegas menu. Inside and outside seating, near lightrail and plebty of parking also.

First time visiting. The iced oat milk latte was good. The service was very poor and it was a frustrating experience. Stood there for over 15 minutes waiting for my order. It seemed like they messed up the order and had to remake it. No apology, no sense of urgency or respect for their customers time. Dang. Really wanted to like this place.

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

First time visiting this coffee shop today and I really enjoyed it! Its a nice spot to come in and chill in a calm atmosphere. The service was great. Went in for drinks, but they were out of most of what we wanted, so we just ended up getting mimosas. Didnt eat anything, but noticed that everything is plant-based (which is a plus). Ill definitely come back and visit again if Im in the area!

Absolutely wonderful, local downtown Mesa coffee shop and Eatery. We appreciate that many of the items were vegan. We are not necessarily vegan ourselves, but do appreciate it can be a healthy way to eat for some people. We ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, two cups of specialty tea including vanilla chai with almond milk, and their sweet potato and vegan bacon bagel. Both of these items were excellent. The tea was served nice and hot and the staff here were friendly and accommodating. More of us need to support locally owned and independently-run businesses, and we are glad to support the Nile Coffee House in downtown Mesa. Five star rating!

My grand daughter and I went there. She is dairy free, gluten free and egg free. It was so nice to find a place she could have a coffee and not worry they made a mistake and put in dairy. Very friendly staff.

The food here is just okay. Meaning that the dishes seem adequate but uninspired. The faux chicken from my tofu scramble was utterly bland. I think a tofu scramble should have some sauteed veggies in it, rather than being placed on top of cold spinach and topped with cold tomatoes. All in all, kinda meh.

The Nile coffee shop food menu is all vegan. Ive had three burritos, there, of different types- all good. I think that right now there is no take-in sitting, but there are some outdoor tables on the main street side walk. I have to ask them if they are vegan every time, because the burritos include chicken and bacon, ham, but they are vegan equivalents, if a meet eater would ever think thats possible. If you arent vegan but want to try vegan thats the perfect place to get meal with bacon. Live long and B12. Cheers

Such a cute coffee shop, burrito was bomb, delicious coffee, friendly staff. This will be my new lunch spot!

This place is more about a philosophical statement than about good food. Green tea was okay, could have used more ice. Coffee wasnt hot. Wife had the oatmeal and it was dry. Milk would have made it great. I had the copper breakfast burrito. Menu said it had ham. False advertising. It was okay, very dense. Could only eat half the hardy portion. If your totally vegan its the place for you. If youre hoping for a place with some balance? No dairy here for the coffee.

Such an amazing place! VERY affordable prices that dont skimp on ingredients. Avocado toast, Philly, and the Mac and cheese was just to die for!!! Coffee was perfect. The pastries are the BEST! And very comfortable vibe inside. Friendly staff answered any questions we had and service was great. Certainly going to be my new study spot 😍

Nice atmosphere. Very good food. Service was good

My friend brought me here and as a vegan I was so happy with the meal and the customer service is superb! Next time I am in Mesa I’ll be eating here again. Thank you!!!

I love the Nile!!! Their southwest English muffin is the bomb and they always have a seasonal drink menu so if you call your order in make sure to ask what they have! Also a rotating pastry menu.Plus they have events on the weekends where they host a multitude of other vegan restaurants from the valley so you can order all in one place!Such a great addition to the community.

This is a nice little place that I went to see a comedy show at on Friday night. They are a coffee shop that also has a limited good menu also. Being that it was late I chose to just have a can of beer so I really cant say much about the food or drinks. The person running the counter was friendly and liked to joke around with people so that made me enjoy the atmosphere. Its right on main Street so youll be able to order a coffee and walk around which is perfect.

Cute little cafe with a very homey feel. Great selection of seasonal coffee beverages and a bountiful menu of food options.

This place has great coffee and food, the staff is kind an helpful and they have covid precautions in place. Out door seating only at this time too

Great atmosphere and food! Had a great time here with friends during our brunch.

Wonderful little coffee shop, easily one of best lattes I’ve had while traveling. Their oat milk, cinnamon, cardamom latte was not too sweet and very flavorful. I had a soyrizo breakfast burrito that was absolutely delicious. Nice, helpful staff, good service, will definitely return when we’re back in Mesa!

Beautiful local vegan coffee shop! Fair prices, nice staff. Lots of seating inside and out. The cold brew is excellent. Many different non dairy milk options.

Was in Mesa attending a festival. It was a cool evening so seeing a coffee was shop made me super happy. The gentlemen behind the counter was so nice and really helped me decide on my order since it was my first visit in. My drink was perfect. I can totally see myself stopping back in this shop if ever in the area.

That place is awesome!!! What a little plant-based gem! I suggest you try the CrunchBerry Latte, it’s to die for!!

Michelle the owner is 100% dedicated to community. She brought this old theater back from the brink over a decade ago and the coffee shop is one of the must visit gems of downtown. I love the avocado toast and the Italian sodas. Im not vegan, but the vegans I do know swear by this place. The large brick wall inside the shop is the original Lehi brick, some of the oldest masonry in the East Valley from the early 20th century.

Great drinks and food, especially the vegan donuts 🍩😋👌

Fun place to eat, cool Decor and the food was delicious! I loved the coffee as well!

Love this vegan gem of a coffee shop. Hella good coffee and food served here. Even during the pandemic, which is just amazing ❤️You cant go wrong with this place! Dont let the name fool you, its so much more than just a coffee shop. Get amazing coffee ~and~ delicious plant based food!

Very nice option in downtown Mesa

This is my favorite coffee shop in Phoenix! It is cute, it is delicious, staff is friendly, they are extra COVID safe, they are vegan! I couldnt ask for a better coffee shop. Their food is AMAZING too. You wouldnt guess that it is vegan. The mcbluffin with bacon is my favorite during winter. Definitely recommend!

I love the food and coffee but multiple times would pull up to either the place closed early before 2pm or closed on days they would be open. Makes it hard to enjoy one of the few vegan friendly coffee places in the valley.

Yummy mixed berry salad and Tulsi lemonade ✨

I came for the first time to the Nile for the East Side 8 storytelling event. I was so impressed with the coffee shop, the venue, and the event! I loved all the treats and coffee they were serving and it was so cool that they had a hot food menu that was completely vegan.The storytelling event was so cool. Props to the East Side 8 team for hosting that event and I hope they continue to do it every month; I’ll definitely come every time. The stories were heartfelt, funny, and inspiring. It’s so amazing that people go up and tell a story for 5 or 6 minutes and we as the audience are able to connect with them in that time. Loved the hosts too; they were funny and personable!Parking was super easy and free behind the building and that downtown area is really cool to walk around before and after the event.The coffee shop was slammed during the event but they kept up with all the orders from the customers.I can’t wait to visit again!

Delicious coffee drinks and thanks to the entirely plant-based menu, none of the cruelty. I am coming back at lunch time later this week to get some soup and a grilled (vegan) cheese sandwich..

This was the first time for me being here and it was amazing the food was great for the record Im not vegan but the food, I cant complain if it wasnt good, I wouldnt of finished what I ordered. I would come back when I get the chance to.

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.

Great vegan grilled cheezes, pastries, and coffee!

The quality is wonderful and the staff is always very friendly. So happy this is within walking distance to my work!

Mediocre food and bad vibe.

Nice little coffee shop in Downtown Mesa. Had the PB chocolate chip muffin and Red Mango Tea. Never had that flavor Tea, but I thought it was delicious - very flavorful.Bonus: no vaping allowed inside.

Drove 20 min just to be told they closed at 2And I got there at 2:08 because their listing says open till 5

The Nile is amazing! Their cold brew coffee and avocado toast are the best. Haley is a fantastic employee who has learned our regular order and has it made when she sees us walk up. Wonderful community!

Food is absolutely delicious and fresh! Havent had the coffee yet, but my co-workers go out of their way to stop in for a cup of coffee. Took a little while to get our food, but its definitely worth the wait. Also, love the mural on the back wall. 5 stars all the way!

Cute Vegan restraint, very tasty food

Great food great customer service

Delicious Vegan Breakfast Bagels 😋

Was able to enjoy the local ambiance while working on the laptop. Great place!

Great 🥑 vegan 🥔 options! Super chill vibes. Nice place to work 😎💻

Very nice coffee place with plenty of food options. I have only had coffee and is pretty good considering the price. Great location and atmosphere. Good music and friendly staff.

Loved the ice coffee “ they have oat milk!!!”

I eat in this lovely place quite a bit! This is the best place to dine. I visit this spot frequently. The meals are of high quality, the crew is courteous and the cost is fair. I enjoy eating in this spot for a nice dinner.

The coffee was awesome but they went vegan. Personally I need real milk or cream in my coffee. I drink almond milk but not in my coffee. Not a fan of oat milk at all. The food looks amazing but I dont eat carbs or sugar. I hear it is amazing food though. The yoga is AWESOME!!! Every Saturday at 8 am. Love the yoga.

I have tried numerous teas at this coffee house and they have always been delicious. My husband has had numerous coffee treats and loves it. I have never been to the music venue at night. Seems like a great location for young adults to hang out.

Wish I had known this was a vegan restaurant and not just a venue. place is the best vegan Ive ever had.

Man, I feel wrong about this place. The DJ was cool and the staff was friendly but the food and the drink.... I can’t pretend I enjoyed either. Our iced coffee tasted like water, and my espresso had way less flavor than what they even offer at Starbucks. We also ordered a sandwich, but that too fell short, I felt like I was eating a bologna and potato breakfast bagel.I would be willing to give it another shot, but my first impression was not great.

Incredible vegan food! My husband got the Southwest Sammie and couldn’t even tell it was vegan! Their vegan ice cream is incredible and the affogato is to die for!

I ordered a bagel sandwich and it was delicious and the presentation was very nice. Their coffee tasted great too. it was nice not getting charged an arm and a leg for non-dairy milk in your coffee (ahem ahem...Starbucks). 🙃Very friendly customer service. They also give you a discount for your next visit which is genius. I’d definitely come back.My only complaint is that I wish they were open later than 3.

I loooove this place, the food the drinks the coffee everything.I rarely eat vegan food but this place is a frequent stop of mine, dont knock it till you try it am I right?Plenty of options on the menu, a ton of drink options from Italian soda to great coffee and even some alcohol drinks.Decor is my favorite, unlike a lot of similar menu places that are bright and have a ton of white walls this place has some more darker tones, a ton of seating options and some space to just take out the laptop and do some work.My only complaint is a simple but important one.Consistent food preparation, Ill use my favorite sandwich as a example the squawker Texas Ranger. Vegan buffalo chicken, mixed greens and ranch.Sometimes its perfect, the balance of Buffalo sauce to chicken, the ranch on the side.Then other times when I order the exact same sandwich barely any ranch, not much buffalo sauce, the chicken is in a bunch of large pieces that make it hard to eat.Ive had a few other menu items with similar results.Great food but its just inconsistent prep, I still enjoy it here and wont stop coming in I just dont want to be that guy that has to ask for extra sauce because its lacking this time but not the next time.

What a quaint place, with great food!

Good Coffee.

Great drink selection with a fun cozy atmosphere. Always a pleasant experience talking with the staff. Highly recommend checking out this place!

The Nile used to be the perfect coffee shop. Great atmosphere, friendly, great coffee. Now they dont serve milk or creamer 🤔. A coffee shop with no creamer!? Such a shame. Luckily, Jarrods is right across the street.

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 wont regret it. Cute and chill vibe with nice staff. Thanks vegan fam 👊

Friendly staff. Great food! Nice, calm location.

Hands down this is my favorite coffee shop. I like to stop in for breakfast or lunch. Their floor is pretty good. The coffee is excellent. They have a wonderful staff too.

Good food (vegan) and drinks. Staff is awesome. Great location.

Went for my first time today. Food was amazing!! The OG toast was soooo good 🤤 I also had the Southwest sandwich which was really good! Definitely will be back 😊

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.

Beware - they don’t have dairy based creamers for your coffee. (No Half and Half) If you’re OK with that, everything else is really good, and nice atmosphere. Also, if you’re in a rush, that might not work. Only one guy was on staff when I went.

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 youre 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 its the best plain dairy free cream cheese hes 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.

Wonderful matcha lattes! Spinach melt was delicious! Organic ingredients, which is wonderful and rare!! Courteous, nice staff! I would def come back!!

Omg yes! It was amazing. Love this place! Will be back again and again. Everything tastes great. I got the blueberry BBQ chicken thing with squash salad. And the cheese was amazing on the cheese and pepper grilled cheese. Very good vegan place! Plus the atmosphere is nice too.Added later: Only issue is they are never open. I went by multiple times and always closed.....

Love their coffee! I tried their food a while ago during Zen Nights and it was very tasty.

My daughter and I were browsing in downtown Mesa, and even though we werent that hungry we decided to sit for while in this cafe that was obscured by scaffolding because theyre giving the storefronts a face lift. She likes to patronize small local businesses. There were only a couple of other customers and very quiet midday. We ended up sharing a delicious vegan bagel with vegan cream cheese topped with the most delicious fresh blackberries and blueberries. We drank the complementary water with grapefruit slices in it. The employees were sweet and kind. Prices are fair. If Im in that town again, will definitely stop in. The Valley Metro Light Rail passes through the downtown area and its very convenient.

Super chill and quaint place. Their vegan pastries are moist (yes, moist) but so delicious. Staff is helpful and friendly. Do note that heir drinks are strong! So if you dont like too much espresso, make sure you request how many shots youd like in your drink. Really nice place to study or hang with friends.

LOVE this place! Either to go in and enjoy food & ambience or order delivery, always perfect. Its so great to have tasty, affordable vegan food that can also be delivered. Thanks Nile!

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 (that soyrizo!) and pretty much any sandwich they have. Their chocolate chip cookies are ammmmmazing also. My kids love the mac and cheese.

Love this place and think about it often. The staff here seem to be happy and the drinks are so good. I believe they also have someone who teaches yoga and the interior decor is really nice to me as well. Places like this make me want to explore the area more.

I love the lighting and space here!Vegan sausage, and the homemade lavender scone are my favorite!!I prefer the girls to make my coffee they make it better than the guys do in my opinion. :)Always have great tunes playing!Cant wait for the open mic nights!

What a cute coffee house!! I am a Mesa native but was just introduced to this amazing space by the Undergrounds Eastside Eight storytelling event this weekend! They were such gracious hosts and even had White Claw...my fav!!! Ill definitely be back!

We were just here last night for Eastside Eight storytelling and it was the BEST time! We heard awesome stories and got to eat delicious vegan food! 100% going back!

Great coffee and quick service!

Such a great little place to go pick up a sandwich and a coffee. The staff were very hospitable and kind, and the food was amazing. This is my first time going to a vegan resturant and I gotta say, this place set the bar pretty high. 10/10 would go again.

Yum!! Had the squawker texas ranger with black bean chili, absolutely delicious!!Nice little cafe with a laid back vibe. Definitely be back if im ever in the area.

The place was very clean and the food was delicious. Most impressive, they brew their own Toddy coffee which was smooth, and delicious, the way God intended Toddy to be.My grilled cheese and green chili sandwich was very good.This could easily be a weekend habit of mine. I cant wait to try their donuts with another coffee next Saturday.

Quiet little coffee shop oi found while walking around downtown. Tea was great and refreshing, it was nice to sit down and relax after my long walk!

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

I came here because of my fiancé, he loves the cold brew here. The galletas are to die for and they make amazing coffee. The atmosphere is very chill and laid back, and I love all the options. I wish I could go more often

We come here every week for our almond milk lattes and delicious scones, pasties or pastries! Weve 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!

Ive eaten there before it was good. But customer service isnt their thing. Went in no one was in line, waited, then was rudely told I had to wait so the person behind me can order as if I knew they were already in line being that I walked in while no one was waiting in line.

Every time I come here it feels like home. Ive had everything on the menu and Im just blown away every time! Youll understand why they been around for almost 100 years!

Awesome place! The ambiance of the place is so great and chill. Fantastic coffee!

Best little vegan find in down town Mesa. Good food, drinks and a chill place to hang out. Came for the lecture and came back for the food! I had my first vegan donuts here and yet to find one better. Try the Squawker Texas Ranger youll love it.

Grrat space for coffee. Completely ani.al free products that taste fantastic. A great place to chill and do some remote work.

Like any restaurant there are strengths & weaknesses. The sandwiches are made on a press and my vegan Philly was good. However, finding a clean table was a bit of a challenge. Overall, cleanliness is a big challenge for this place. The community water jug wasnt flowing so I opened it hoping it was fruit or something, I was surprised to see hair inside the jug & what looked like pieces of napkin in it.Personally, I dont think that is sanitary.Whats worse when I let the person working there know she first just made sure there was water in the container and it doesnt appear to get checked in the inside. When I let her know what was inside she took the water away, but it was not replaced and I didnt get to drink any water with my meal.Since my sandwich was good and the vegan blue cheese dressing was also good (for my side salad) they avoid a 1 star rating from me, but if cleanliness is that big of a challenge it is unsettling to think of for the rest of the kitchen

This place is awesome! Their mac n cheese is so goooood! I also really enjoy their iced chai tea here! Delicious!

Great vegan chili and vegan blt. Enjoyed the black tea. Will be back next trip.

Takes a while to get your food since its only one person working there, but drinks are fairly fast to come out. I ordered the Southwest Bagel and it tasted fantastic. Would definitely come back to order again.

Vegan and gluten free, great food and service. Day time was busy but quiet, sat and had a wonderful conversation with a great friend. No rush, no need to speak up to be heard. Definitely worth visiting, coffees and teas, all kinds of goodies.
