We have had three amazing experiences at the Nest! The staff is so kind and thorough; a rarity these days! We have loved both the restaurant and the new cafe space. Support the Nest!!! Our area needs a solid place like this!!!

The BBQ Tempeh Reuben just rocked my world. Shout out from this Vegan for a great vegan sandwich on a menu with multiple vegan options! Delightfully simple with an explosion of taste. An excellent rec from the P.O. across the street.

I didn’t LOVE the tempeh BBQ sandwich only because it was so small for the amount I paid for…. The vegan blueberry scone is always yummy though! The service was pretty good and fast though! There is cute seating inside and outside.

Holy balls I wish I could give the nest more stars. The only legitimately good restaurant in Hanover. Burger is awesome. Pimento dip was awesome (kinda weird that they sent it with mini toast and crackers instead of tortilla chips). Sneakily, the best croissant and chocolate chip scone around. I don't think I'll ever get food elsewhere when the nest is open
