We love it!

by ikesuzy at Citysearch

We read about Fido's on the Tennessean website as one of the top 10 places to eat. It definately is! We have been there several times and the food and service are always great!

by pennystein at Citysearch

fido is such a great coffee shop, but the wait staff is full of teenage angst types with tattoos and piercings galore. however, the coffee is awesome. it makes starbucks taste like folgers. support this great local coffee shop!

Thank you for the great service from Brian C & JJ

by tennismarv at Citysearch

Great place to lay back and enjoy being in Nashville, coffee was the best and the people that work there are number 1 in my book. Food was more than enought and brought out the taste buds I forgot about from eating too much fast food...thank you for a wonderful experience

• Pros: Nice people, great food and coffee
• Cons: The only "con" is if you haven't been there yet...

Brunch used to be better.

by dixiesanders at Citysearch

The gaggles of Vandy students for brunch make this not as desirable as it used to be. Recently, I have waited 30 mins for my food and when it arrived it was cold. I think Fido's needs to have a hostess.

• Pros: food, location
• Cons: wait

Take it from me

by austbocks at Citysearch

Let me say this first: I have been a professional Barista for three years and have won local competitions for "slingin' coffee."

Lately I have been going in to Fido every day because their lattes are superb! Their Baristas have been nothing but great, and their coffee and tea is all organic and fair trade! Can you really get any better?

I commend the owner for being so conscious of the world we live in while providing a place for the community to gather and drink a d**n good cup of coffee.

The service is quick and friendly and (while no restaurant is perfect) they always remember my name.

Funky vibe - great food!

by hi2boo at Citysearch

The Village Burrito rocks! At $6 it's enough for 2 people to share. I can't seem to get past it when I order. Fido has a great vibe with a lot of character.

I like their 'no microwaves' policy and their creative menu. Great coffee and an exciting selection of teas and other drinks. Take a jacket in summer - it's chilly inside with a little too much air conditioning for my liking.

• Pros: Food, drinks, vibe, Parking (in back)
• Cons: , Cold inside in summer

West Coast Barista

by westcoastbarista at Citysearch

Fido has great potential, but everytime I have gone in there I get attitude and gross espresso drinks! Does anyone know how to time shots and steam milk properly? Now I just get brewed coffee, but even the coffee is syrupy, muddy, and luke-warm. Sorry.....I've been coming in for a while, but I'll go elsewhere for good coffee.

• Pros: Good Atmosphere, Cool Idea, Good Menu Selection
• Cons: , Bad Coffee, Bad espresso drinks

coffee & food

by clyacht at Citysearch

The place has coffee that is roasted daily at their other place. The coffe is great.

And the food is better than ever. Very veggie friendly. Portabello mushroom sandwhich, eggplant tower, daily fish specials. Sit in a booth and watch all of Nashville's whose who come in.

And the whole dog thing is so cute! You gotta have a t-shirt.

• Pros: location, coffee, food

Glory Days gone!

by Tejanole at Citysearch

I've been going to Fido since its opening. No offense to Bongo Bob, but I think the ex-pet shop's best days are behind it. There are certainly more interesting places to people-watch. Coffee is still good (thanks to the roasting company), but food and service leave a lot to be desired. Where have all the good baristas gone? Where have you gone Jamie and Shaun?

• Pros: Location, Location, Location
• Cons: Food, Service, Culturally bland
