Caffe Nero

Caffè Nero is always a lovely, roomy, comfortable place to work, rest and refresh, with a relaxed atmosphere. Their summer drinks selection is great, but the quality of their coffee leaves a lot to be desired. I marvel at the fact that so many coffee shops, both chain and independent, serve mediocre, sometime awful coffee. The food selection is limited but sufficient, but they are the only chain that show consideration to offer jugs of tap water for customers to serve themselves. This branch has a special feature: RSPB has a collection tin accompanying the provision of their unique collectible wildlife pins. It is so beloved and I visit regularly to see which new pins have appeared, as they are always changing. The staff vary: most are polite and professional, one is especially so, but one - the fair girl who seems to be a main employee - more discriminating and disrespectful of rights of those with disabilities. Also, one of the trainees never manages to get the iced drinks right. Overall, however, the best atmosphere of any of the coffee chains.

Very good performance for a high street coffee chain. The interior of this Caffè Nero is great with plenty of comfy seats, high and low tables, lots of plug sockets, nice lighting and design. I’m currently sitting in here doing my work and out of all the coffee shops I’ve been to the last few weeks, this particular Caffè Nero comes close to the top. Very friendly service as well! Great spot for a quick catch up with friends, or for an intense study/work session! This may be my go-to coffee shop from now on!

Great place to study and generally pass time, im here a lot as I have 3 hour breaks from college and usually come to just get some work done, eat breakfast and get some quiet time. Selection of food is limited but all is delicious, go to sandwich is either the ultimate brunch or the chicken salad sandwich, baked goods and pastries are great too and the coffee is, as expected delicious. Ports near most seating areas for laptops, phones etc. Environment is always extremely clean and well kept, toilet is always clean and usuable which is a massive positive for somewhere where you drink a lot of liquid and are more than likely to spent a considerable amount of time there. Music is great, usually some smooth jazz which fits the atmosphere of the caffe perfectly, much better than a Starbucks or a Costa coffee even though its a massive chain, great place to go.
