Please ask the woman on the early 7am shift in George street Croydon to put a smile on her face. She’s the least welcoming person. I’ll visit Starbucks tomorrow. I don’t need her negative energy to st... See more

Warwick uni campus sports centre Nero
Warwick uni campus sports centre Nero - 25min wait for a sausage roll to be heated. Not particularly busy, plenty of staff - just useless. Not even an apology when they were hassled and finally managed the complicated operation. I wanted to leave after 5mins but my partner insisted we stay! Find another place not staffed with lazy incompetent people is my advise.
Refused extra shot of chocolate!
Just been to the café Nero in Amersham… being in Amersham for the last 20 years this is our regular. The lady working there today, Tuesday 3rd June, at around 14.20 said we couldn’t have an extra scoop of chocolate in our mocha. Every time we’ve asked we’ve never been told no. She point blank refused even when I asked her for the second time politely to confirm that she’d actually refused. We then walked out and went and gave our business to Harris and Hoole instead. Who said “yes of course” and made my mocha just how I like it. Couldn’t understand why she couldn’t put an extra scoop in when we’ve asked for it previously and whoever has been there has always done it for us. Coffee is a very personal thing and everyone likes it in a certain way and that’s just how I like mine.
Not happy with Nero!!!
Very poor!!
I visited café Nero on Sunday, the 1st of June at their branch of the Brighton Road. I ordered a regular extra hot plain hot chocolate however was a first given a medium lukewarm hot chocolate which was 95% froth. I returned the hot chocolate asking whether or not this was all froth the barister took the hot chocolate and returned a medium hot chocolate however when I took the drink back to the car and began to drink it I found that it was 95% hot milk. There was very little of any chocolate within the drink.
Or caffeine Nero undergoing cost saving measures as their drinks are really falling short of their usual standard. I was really disappointed and won’t be going back to that particular branch.
A shout out to RJ @Berkhamsted Nero
A shout out to RJ @Berkhamsted Nero. A well run Nero which is managed brilliantly and is a go-to of choice, daily. Coffee made and crafted by RJ is exceptional. He has a gift for presentation, which is not always easy with oat milk. Lovely staff and lovely coffee🤎
Just visited Nero Drottninggatan 86
Just visited Nero Drottninggatan 86, in Stockholm. Staff so welcoming and friendly. Store very modern and spotlessly clean. Selection of food much better than my own Nero in London. Manager Anton came over and welcomed me to Sweden. Some Nero’s in London should visit and see how they do things in Sweden. 5 star rating totally deserved. I will be back!
Great staff
Friendly, helpful staff. Thank you to Chloe at Caffé Nero Oxford Road Manchester for carrying my tray to an outside table for this overloaded woman!
Too expensive and ridiculous portions
Too expensive and ridiculous portions. Nero is cutting down on the size cake slices. I received a trace of a banana loaf slice today at Milton Keynes shopping centre, was tempted to give it back, really not worth it.
Kidderminster Kirsty
Help with internet connection was sorted for me by Kirsty with patience and good humour in spite of it being a busy Saturday morning. Service above and beyond and with a smile goes a long way.
Thank you, Kirsty.
Maria from Coventry city centre cafe…
Maria from Coventry city centre cafe nero was so kind and friendly. Makes a change. Thank you for for being helpful
Honest review…
I wanted to share my recent experience in hopes it helps improve service in the future. When I requested a no-ice drink, I was surprised to receive a cup that was only half full. I was told it was due to standard measurements, but this feels unfair—especially when the store had already run out of ice by 6pm during a peak time.
Customers should have the choice to enjoy their drinks the way they prefer, whether with or without ice. Someone might be trying a new drink and may not want it cold, so it’s disappointing to be met with resistance instead of flexibility.
The staff seemed surprised that I still wanted the drink without ice, which didn’t feel welcoming. A more friendly approach—and even just a little extra milk or syrup to top up the drink—could go a long way in creating a better experience.
I hope this feedback helps bring some positive changes for both staff and customers in the future
Sorry Loughborough town centre branch…
Sorry Loughborough town centre branch but first time visit and sadly the last. Tables splattered in drink spills. 9.30am visit for 40 mins. Not at all busy, didn’t see anyone wipe the tables, only clear them.
Caffeine resort have the worst star…
Caffeine resort have the worst star from India rifle staff Tracy from head office has been completely rude to she has not managed to give us a refund and the milk was out of date not put in the fridge and we suffered great amount of food poisoning and we have been not well since then and the staff in caffeine Arizona very poor and they seem to

Nothing ever changes with this company. Never employs enough staff so you are left with cluttered tables after the invariable long wait to be served. When you are served you are given the hard sell on the tasteless and wholly non nutritious garbage that masquerades as food.
The WiFi doesn’t work to a speed that is functional and the app scanner rarely works first time.
Inside is always comfortable but the management - impervious to all feedback - look at the reviews on here - outs abject greed above customer satisfaction.

Made me sick and likely stole from me
I went for a morning coffee on my birthday last year, I asked for soy milk as I am lactose intolerant. The coffee tasted a bit odd but I put it down to a new recipe, within 30 minutes I was vomiting and had to cancel my plans and go home, it took a few days to recover and I wasted a days leave. I worry for those who are deathly allergic as it’s dangerous error to make.
It took a while to pluck up the courage to go back, I realised as I stepped out of the door that I had left my scarf inside and went straight back in, my table had already been cleaned and scarf wasn’t there, there was a queue so I decided to go back the next day, less than 24 hours later. First thing the next morning I went in and asked and was told that there was no scarf in lost and found, with how quiet it was in the corner I had sat in (and right at the bottom) and with how quickly my table had been cleaned I can only assume that a member of staff had taken it and thrown it away or had stolen it.
Ridiculous company policy
Ridiculous company policy . I'm paying monthly to be memeber of coffee club to have a 25% from my coffee from nero bec I've that monthly payment they refuse to stamp my loyalty card . They saying we can't stamp bec you have a voucher.. but they don't think I pay for that voucher
