Enjoyed a nice reception here. The location was really convenient in the Estes Park area, with a nice amount of parking up and down the road. I liked the interior space, the second floor has beautiful views, big open space, and convenient facilities. Service here was great! Loved my experience here.

An Estes Park gem. Great wi-fi, ambiance, and food/drink. I got stuck on a virtual meeting during vacation and Bird's Nest made it an enjoyable experience!

Small selection and they run out quick. The deli next door has more food options.

We stopped by The Bird’s Nest today for a couple of fresh brewed black iced teas. We drink a lot of iced tea, so I can assure you getting excellent tea is not always an easy task. It’s often by trial and error. The Bird’s Nest has their brewed tea nailed and our only regret was not ordering larger sizes (but we wanted to try it first). The cafe is very nice inside and the service was excellent too. We will definitely return when visiting Estes, and look forward to giving their food and coffee a try as well.

Lovely local spot to grab a coffee, smoothie, drinks, pastry, or have a pizza (wood-fired Napoletan style). They offer superb decaf/caf, classic drinks like cortado (my fav), espresso, cappuccino, etc., and specialty drinks (matcha, oatmilk, almondmilk add-ons). Pastries sell fast, so by 4-5 pm, they only offer just 1-2 goodies (tasty nevertheless). The atmosphere is light and friendly. They also have a neat giftshop.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish. The pizza was mediocre at best. The crust was overloaded with flour, leaving a dry, chalky texture that ruined the flavor.
What really pushed it over the edge, though, was the staff. I’ve never encountered such rude and dismissive service. It felt like we were an inconvenience just for showing up.
The parking situation is just plain frustrating. Far too few spaces, and the lot design makes navigating it a headache. Once inside, the chaos continues. The tables are jammed together with no clear flow, making the entire dining area feel cramped and stressful.
There are too many other great pizza spots out there to waste time (and money) here. I won’t be back.

Pizza is excellent quality ingredients & you can tell. Perfectly baked & crisp crust like a cracker. Pepperoni are not strong. Cheese is minimal Excellent!!! Parking is limited. If your in an RV you would have to find alternative parking

Was really excited to try this place as we have been meaning to go the last couple of times we were in Estes. We ordered a chicken pita wrap and turkey club sandwich to go - after about 30 mins, I asked the employee working the register if the kitchen happened to be backed up. She responded with an attitude and claimed 30-40 mins is pretty normal wait time. I stated that would’ve been nice to know upon ordering (we were trying to grab a quick lunch before heading back to Denver - I wrongly assumed an order at the counter coffee shop would be the appropriate place to do so). The employee responded with a snarky comment. Ended up waiting about 45 mins in total for our order. Food was decent, but not worth the wait or attitude from the employee!

Pizza was really bad. We got the fungi, the what the fig and the carnivore. The carnivore and what the fig were good topping wise but the crust is really bland and flavorless. The fungi pizza was very bad, and we literally had to put it outside because it smelled so bad. Don't want to be rude because the service was nice and I thought everything looked quite nice at first, but there are definitely a lot of improvements that could be made. For such expensive pizza it was very disappointing, definitely the worst pizza I have had at a restaurant.
Came in for lunch and ordered the bacon spinach pita and my boyfriend ordered the brisket sandwich. We were both disappointed as the brisket was dry and the pita was missing the aioli and piquillo peppers. The bacon was burnt to a near crisp and it was a very small sandwich for the price.

I visited from out of state. The scenery is great, but that’s about it. The service was slow; the items are overpriced; & the barista spilled some of my drink on the counter & walked away. Also, the drinks were NOT good. Should have gone to McDonald’s..

We attended a wedding reception and had the entire facility. The food and desserts were awesome and it was a lovely place to have this event. The prosecco was chilled beautifully.
