CAFE NIDO: Coffee & Books

Vibes for days. The best space, great staff, yummy burritos. Whether you're pulling up with a laptop or catching up with a friend, Cafe Nido is always a top tier choice.

didnt see no books

New location. Still a magical oasis...just bigger! Great service with friendly baristas. Reasonably priced iced americano. So much cozy seating. This place checks off all my boxes for a dreamy place to come work. Ambiance + cozy. Not only does it have planty, jungly decor, it’s partially outdoors, but covered with fans so it’s never too hot.

Just stumbled into Cafe Nido and I’m so glad that I did. It’s such a great addition to Silverlake, but what sets it apart from all other coffee shops, aside from the amazing coffee and food (the almond croissant was delish!) around here is the energy. Devon runs a great place! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the vibe is lively and fun and not snobby as most coffee shops tend to be. A+

We love cafe nido coffee and the atmosphere!!! One of my favorite iced almond milk lattes on Sunset.

I swear this place is so cute and the strawberry & cream matcha was 10/10

Amazing and hidden little coffee shop. Almost feel like you’re in a cool tree house. They have plenty of books or just bring your own. Legit will be back!

Great vibe. Lots of space and fresh air. Different types of seatings.
Professional and attentive service.
Lovely coffee & matcha. There’s been a lot of work put into it. A year ago I didn’t like it, now I love it

Don’t come here expecting any books. It’s mainly just a stack that looks like it comes from a leave one take one neighborhood box (they probably got them for free) $10 each junk. Not a bookstore at all. Also don’t come here if it’s raining unless you expect to do takeaway, no indoor seating really. Coffee was ok, unremarkable. But I just got something plain. Just wanted to write a review because including the word “books” in the cafe name is misleading. Just a warning to book lovers.

Secluded and tucked-away cafe with a fun and beautiful atmosphere! Went on a sunny Sunday afternoon and there was a jazz band playing; everyone seemed to be having a great time, including us! We ordered delicious iced chai lattes.

Fantastic Vibe with a great coffee. Definitely deserves a 5*

I really enjoyed this coffee spot—the atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for either working or catching up with friends over a cup of coffee. While the coffee was good, it didn’t quite stand out as exceptional. Still, it's a great place to relax and enjoy some downtime.

CAFE NIDO is a cute and trendy coffee bar tucked in an alleyway on Hyperion avenue in Silver Lake. They have a modest selection of coffee (hot/cold), teas, pastries and sandwiches. Moreover, their huge open indoor/outdoor space surrounded by trees provides an oasis like atmosphere for customers. Thereby, an ideal spot to read a book while sipping your coffee.

Furthermore, this coffee shop has a mini trailer parked full of used books and customers can rent a book for free while they sip their coffee/tea. Anyway, I came on a hot Summer day and ordered a Cold Brew (16oz). It was smooth, refreshing and average in taste. (p.s. I spilled my first drink while I was stirring it; cute female server made me a new one-for free! ;D) I was a lil embarrassed but luckily customers were too preoccupied with their books and laptops. I’m a figure of fascination, something between sympathy and schadenfreude.

Service was on point. Female white Staff was affable and professional. Prices seem a tad pricey and yet reasonable. Nido’s Parking situation was atrocious due to extremely limited space. However, plenty of street metered parking.

Overall, I liked their Cold Brew and atmosphere.

Very relaxing place to hang out

I was vending here at the little flea that they host every so often, and I had the BEST time. Their staff is so compassionate — when I was setting up my booth, I was shaking and about to faint because of lack of sleep and having not eaten in a long time. Sadith (runs the flea, doesn’t work at the cafe) literally bought me food. The cafe has free cold water and that helped too (out of a cute dispenser too). When the market slowed down I walked inside because I wanted to look around (I used to be a barista and I’m an author, so coffee and books are my life) and I was blown away! It’s BEAUTIFUL, and their book cart is the cutest thing in the world. Their merch is also super cute too, and when I bought a coffee it was pretty good! It’s super clean for being so, so busy, and even the people who showed up just to read and have a coffee were kind and friendly. If I lived closer, I’d go here every day. If you’re a local or even just visiting, I’m telling you — you HAVE to visit! Also, Cafe Nido Flea — check that out too! Always a fun little market, both to attend and the vend!
