Light and airy cafe with a selection of food and coffee. We had iced latte, which were great. Very friendly staff. Panini are the speciality with some really interesting fillings (see the menu photo).

Finally dropped into Nathaniel's and was not disappointed. Great selection of delicious paninis, tried "The Dylan" and couldn't get enough. Almost ordered another to go. Strong tasty coffee to wash it down. Will be back!

LOVE their panini - so crispy and delicious! And their coffee shakes as well. Always lovely cheery service and a nice atmosphere. Get in early though as the Panini's can run out early arvo.

Driven past loads of times and finally got around to trying out Nathaniel's. Door opens to a bright and airy venue that is instantly welcoming. Brilliant service from hard working and dilligent staff and dealing with a simple menu (open to variations). Panini was excellent, freshly made and delicious. Situated on busy Payneham road but plenty of street parking nearby. Recommended.

As many other have said the Coffee and Panini are really tasty. The Cafe food is well priced and on average the Panini are around $12. The coffee has a nice flavour profile and the long black was a good temperature. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is ample parking down the side street as well as some available behind the business. Parking shouldn't be an issue even on busy days.

This a nice cafe, the panninis are available fresh and toasted and are very tasty. Ordered two coffees between us and they where both delicious and consistent. It is worthwhile coming here for a coffee if you are nearby

Consistently great coffee (best in Adelaide in my opinion), great food, and Nathaniel and his team are such nice people - so friendly, very professional and work together really well to create a great atmosphere.
