Caffè Nero

Bonne accueil et agréable ambiance. Les cakes sont excellents bon rapport qualité-​prix.

When I arrived at Heathrow Airport the first place I went for a beverage was the Caffe Nero. The Café Mocha was great and the gentleman behind the counter offered me a stamp card to fill with 9 stamps to get the tenth one free. EVERY ONE of these establishments I visited over the course of five days was excellent — great coffee, EXCELLENT baked goods and snacks and great service.
When I return to London, Caffe Nero will be the place I go for coffee! And «Yes», I filled the card and received a free coffee beverage on my way out of London.

An establishment in soho.
Nero’s coffee as a great flavour compare to the other regular high street coffee shops.
Not here necessarily for the coffee, as more for the atmosphere and people watching:)

Nice little place in the heart of Soho. Hot drinks and food are good, and it’s open until very late. Recommended if you enjoy observing the Soho crowd (assuming you can find somewhere to sit); not recommended if you’re just looking for a place where to drink your coffee undisturbed.

Just 2 minutes away from Piccadilly Circus, it was heaven for my feet! I had been walking all day and I was so glad to finally sit down!
Coffee at Caffe Nero is usually decent as in all Caffe Nero. The place was really busy but we didn’t have to wait in line too long to be served.
On top of coffee, we also had some scones which were served with clotted cream and some raspberry jam. Num num!
There was a huge sign stating there was free wifi, but I didn’t manage to connect to it (but it could just be that I was just too tired to manage technology)
A few things could have been better though: I didn’t see anyone actually cleaning the tables — I have seen staff picking up cups an stuff but not actually cleaning! and the worst bit: there was only one toilet and I had to queue for longer for a pee than I had too for my drinks and cakes.

The coffee is alright and I did enjoy my toasted panini with ham and mozzarella. Overall the drinks and food are satisfying if nothing special. Why would I come back here though? For the great corner location and the seating that allows you to people watch for hours.

Fist the location is prime if you love to people watch. The staff is so Italian which of course I love. The coffee shots, latte, cappuccino, an juices are all amazing. Oat an raisin cookies are awesome but honestly pick anything to eat to accompany your drink — you can’t go wrong.

The perfect place to people watch on one of the world’s premier people-​watching streets!
Service is good, and the staff friendly and amiable. They don’t have enough time to clear the outside tables as often as they need to be, and it concerns me how much litter ends up on the street from this place! I don’t blame the staff, I empathize with them as they are so busy!
As for the actual café, it’s pretty much everything you would ever want. The coffees and edibles are all top notch, the location is incomparable, and the staff quirkily, fun, interactive and enjoyable.
Tip — get a coffee, sit outside with a friend, and watch the multi-​colored and fabulous denizens of Soho parade in front of you all day long! I have more Unilocal check-​ins here than I can keep up with!

Nice spot to people watch in SoHo. They have sidewalk seating and really good drinks. Mocha café was delish and the red velvet was pretty good. A little sweet on the icing but it was still good.

I never limit myself to only one café and Caffe Nero is one of my go to choices. Specifically, I love going for their Espresso Con Panna (double shot) and their Porridge (With skimmed milk and fruit). If you stop by mid-​day, try their panini’s — they are delicious and filling. Ceffe Nero is a really good option when you are on the run and short on time.

This Italian coffee chain is reliable throughout the UK. Great coffee, free Wii-​fi and good service. Make sure you try the Italian chocolate hmmmm so good.

Been here numerous times when I visited London recently. Have tried their cappuccino and the Americano (or what in the U.S. is called regular coffee). I thought both were good and especially liked the Americano which had the right amount of kick not too strong and not too light. Something I noticed in London is when you order an Americano they put the milk in for you unlike in the U.S. where you get your coffee and go to the sugar and milk counter to put it in yourself. Also they have 2 prices one for take away and one for staying in. So if you pay for the take away price your not supposed to stay inside the café. Kinda weird since we don’t do that in the U.S. Nonetheless I think it’s a better alternative to Starbucks.

Great place to relax after a day of shopping. They make great lattes and I also tried their hot chocolate. Their pastries were good as well. Love that they have outdoor seating for the Parisian style people watching.

Almost indistinguishable from Starbucks right down to the mediocre coffee and tasteless, chewy pastries. I still give Caffe Nero the nod because its less crowded, has a no-​frills approach to its business (its not trying so hard to be a record store or my «third place»), and most importantly offers free Wi-​Fi.

Nice sized branch in the centre of soho! Its open all night, so after you’ve had one too many drinks, you can start the process of sobering up with an espresso. The price is reasonable, the staff are welcoming and there are delicious snacks to compliment your hot cup of caffeine. I wouldn’t say its the best coffee chain in London, but its definitely in my top 5!

Right on the junction of Frith Street and Old Compton Street, a corner window to the madcap comings and goings of Soho life.
Like’em or loath’em, Neros generally deliver nice strong bitter coffee to give you that consistent hit, no disappointment for your precious fix for the day (Doctor says one a day good, more bad, Doctor knows best). Americano topped up with hot milk, yes.
This Nero especially good with its location, constantly changing mix of people, little outside seats ranged on the pavement — get right up and close to the bustling, kaleidescope atmosphere as you trip up passers by with inadvertantly outstretched legs.
Downside is very expensive WiFi access — £3.99 for 45 minutes! — they need to sharpen up there — or you might go to Starbucks — mmm.

If you’re after some serious Fabulous-​people-​watching (this being the heart of gay-​ville we’re talking Fabulous with a capital «F»!), you can’t get better than this Nero. Their mix of window-​lined bar stools and and outdoor seating maximises the people-​perusing-​possibilities.
Unlike my waistline, I love the selection of pastries Nero has to offer and they wash down rather nicely with the smooth, strong coffee blend they serve.
One heads up however… the toilets in the basement are less than appealing so my advice is to maybe make it a medium americano rather than a grande, so you can skip the loo rather than skipping to the loo!

As a visitor — and not wanting to be that American that searches out a Starbucks — I was very pleased to discover Café Nero! I have to agree with their slogan «Best espresso this side of Milan», though the Milanese are not really known for their espresso… Alas, I digress. The espresso was good and the double was awesome! It was a great way to get going in the morning and I’m glad I stumbled upon this café!

You may be thinking that everyone has been to Café Nero, so what is the point in writing a review about it.
Fair point.
But go to the Café Nero on Frith Street Soho and it is a very different experience. I tend to find myself here when I am too tired/​bored of dancing but not wanting the night to end. Sitting with a cup of coffee at 3am, Soho (and Nero) is still buzzing with caffeine and people.
Starting the night with drinks and chatting, going out and then finishing it in the same way seems perfect to me. There really ought to be more late night coffee shops.
Try it.

Pause café
Entre Starbucks et Prêt à manger, on retrouve l’enseigne un peu partout dans Londres et c’est bien pratique quand on trop marché et qu’on veut s’accorder une petite pause café.

Bonne ambiance et bon rapport qualité/​prix
Les cafés Nero sont dans la veines des starbucks et on en trouve partout sur Londres, les pâtisseries comme les cafés sont variés et les prix sont abordables (1£ en moyenne pour un café, soit 1.5 € c’est un bon rapport qualité-​prix).

Humm !
Je connais plus particulièrement ce Caffé Nero, mais tous ceux de la chaîné se valent. On y déjeune très bien ! Les pâtisseries sont excellentes ainsi que les cafés ! En 2003, les serveurs et serveuses étaient italiens et parlaient italien entre eux, ce qui ajoute une petite touché de convivialité !
