I loved this little coffee shop, they specialize in vegan options and the espresso is fire. My partner and I both had the avocado ‘toast’ - it comes on a bagel and if definitely order it again. We both tried speciality drinks and they were super creative (his had coconut and mine had vanilla). There’s tons of seating and a lot of outlets. The internet cut out about an hour into us camping so that was a bit of a bummer, but I’d totally go back regardless.

Since I have been in Arizona and even when I was in Alabama, a game that I like to play is to go out for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Once I had what I considered to be the best of the best, it became a game to eventually to find a better avocado toast than The Bakehouse Downtown... it's just the best I have ever had. From the everything bagel seasoning, the cherry tomatoes, and the star of the show... the balsamic drizzle, nobody has been able to beat it yet. I've had some that have come close and some honorable mentions, some that just did not try, and then today at the Nile Coffee Shop in Mesa, Arizona I was confronted with the avocado bagel. The bagel is not toast, so I will have to put this in its own category. So the Bakehouse still wins. It's just that in another category the Nile wins. My only complaint is that at the Bakehouse downtown, I can at least get an egg on top which is another thing that truly sets them apart. The Nile Coffee Shop is so vegan they don't even have knives. I don't know how they cut their vegetables and bagels behind the counter, but in order to eat an avocado bagel or toast, I like to cut it into bite size pieces... not just manhandle it and shove it into my face. One other nitpicky thing is that they are so completely vegan that they only have nut milks, which as most of you know are absolutely horrible for the environment which you think they would be wanting to save. Oh the irony. All that said, if you're ever in Fort Payne, AL, stop in and say hi to @Crestah Taylor, she really has created something in Fort Payne worth celebrating. Also, do yourself a favor and stop in at @thenileshop #shoplocal

What a cool place. Two of us wondered in as first time visitors to Mesa. Didn’t realize that this was an only vegan coffee shop and restaurant but the very nice Server told us the food was great and she did not disappoint. One of us had the steak and egg burrito, and one of us had one of their bagels. This was a great place. One interesting side note it also has one of the last functioning photo booths in Arizona. We highly recommend even if you’re not typically someone who seeks out vegan food. It was very tasty.
