Café Nero, London

CAFE NERO CIAO Review - Date published: 04-09-08 Titled - ' Hero @ Nero' - The Coffee culture - Anyone fancy a coffee? It is certainly one of lifes better inventions the coffee bean. It is understandable that the coffee culture has created a frenzy amongst normally sane people who would of normally got up earlier and made themselves a coffee at home about 10 years ago. Instead we troll through heavy morning traffic. Stumble into a Cafe Nero and ask for a weird and wonderful coffee blend with caramel coating syrup; before going to work. It is official the coffee culture has taken control and ... more

Caffe Nero is a leading Coffee store Retail Outlet located in many high street, town center, and Airport Lounge venues across England, wales and Scotland. The company sells, Coffee as its main product. Also they stock Tea, cold refreshments, panini sandwiches, cookies, crisps, Chocolates, cakes, and sweets. What I find that makes cafe nero different to other coffee Retail Outlet's is almost a combination of excellent Coffee, and a high standard of Customer Service. The Music in the background of the store is subtle and light. This allows people to read a newspaper, to socialise with friends ... more

Caffè Nero is a relatively young company, from having 5 coffee bars in London in 1997, a further 130 coffee bars opened up in 38 towns across the UK in 2003. The chain is working actively to become entirely 'fair trade'. I have been visiting Caffè Nero branches since 1998 (in and outside London) – so you could say I know my Mocha when I drink it! Branches open early (around 7am on weekdays) allowing you to take advantage of a breakfast of coffee, freshly baked croissant/pain au chocolat and fruit juices. From 12:00 Noon they start serving hot pasta dishes (eg> spinach & ricotta ravioli or ... more

If there's one thing I like when I'm feeling stressed and just want to relax, I always go to a coffee shop where it is usually relaxed and you can get away from the busy streets. I do like most coffee shop chains but one I go to quite regularly is probably Caffe Nero. Living in Manchester, there are a lot of them about, especially in the city centre where there about three within 5 minutes of each other so you can't really escape it. It isn't the one that makes the best hot chocolates as I love to order these but because there are a lot of them they don't seem to be as overcrowded as the likes ... more

My first trip to a Caffe Nero was a few years ago in London. I popped in quickly and grabbed a capuccino with my mum. It was a cold winters morning, very early and we were on our way for a spot of shopping in Covent Garden. The coffee was just what we needed to wake up. Since that day I have become a regular visiter to caffe Nero's in London, and to several branches in Surrey where I live. The company was founded in 1997 and so is relatively new. I had only ever seen them in London until the past year and a half when they suddenly began to pop up in all the towns I frequently find myself in ... more
