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 ...
...coating syrup; before going to work. It is official the coffee culture has taken control and Cafe Nero has made big leaps and bounds in profits over the last few years.. as have most of the coffee chains in UK; and Nero is no exception. -The House of Nero- Cafe Nero's in-house design has emulated a stylised coffee shop that would not feel out of place even in the outer Mongolian. It is so unoffensive. The smoking rooms have now disappeared which ...

Review of Café Nero (London)

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 the store is subtle and light. This allows people to read a newspaper, to socialise with friends, family, or to enjoy a relaxing cup of Coffee in relative peace and quiet. The atmosphere is what makes caffe nero a pleasant and welcoming place to visit. The staff seem to be team organised. I have seen Table's been cleared, the counter at the Bar is spotless, bins are emptied, not a great deal of litter the toilet and Wash Rooms are fresh smelling ...

Review of Café Nero (London)

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, ...
...From 12:00 Noon they start serving hot pasta dishes (eg> spinach & ricotta ravioli or spaghetti & meatballs) and grilled panninis (eg> Ham, cheese and sundried tomato or Lemon Chicken), as well as a selection of [toasted if preferred] sandwiches, salads and fresh soups, depending on the branch you visit. There is also a regular stand-by of chilled and shelf-stored desserts (such as: cheesecake(s), chocolate cake, carrot cake, apple torte, or mousse/trifles) ...

Review of Café Nero (London)

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. ...
...past year and a half when they suddenly began to pop up in all the towns I frequently find myself in. Caffe Nero now claim to have 205 stores nationwide. After the first trip to cafe Nero, one of the things that brought me back was the fact that I could smoke inside whilst enjoying my coffee. This is no longer an issue as I no longer smoke, but still visit frequently. Having smokers in a coffee shop may put some people off, but ex-smokers are said ...

Review of Café Nero (London)

The following is a verbatim copy of a recent email sent to Caffe Nero to which I neither received confirmation or response: My wife and I have been great fans of Caffe Nero since you opened and would go out of our way to search out a bar however, this year we have been made increasingly aware of reduced quality and a questionable marketing direction. i) the starbucking of the size of cups; gone is the original small cup previously used that are ...
...hot milk with a 'hint' of coffee. I know we can always ask for less milk but the previous smallest cup always gave great balance and flavour. Anyway, as a lot of the staff speak very limited English, explaining and getting what one wants is often difficult. I always have real trouble getting cappucino 'senza' chocolate, even when I ask repeatedly. ii) either the quality of the coffee has changed (for the worse) or the gramme weight per serving has ...

Review of Café Nero (London)

I love coffee, it's my vice and when Cafe Nero opened on East cheap a few years ago I popped in one morning (it opens at 7am) and bought a steamy rich intense flavoured latte I was hooked. Its several years later and I now work near High Street Kensington. Here the Nero branch is a funny shaped glass fronted building standing oddly next to a giant Boots. Once inside you need a minute to get accustomed to the Smokey atmosphere and join the queue ...
...and they do all the usual, cappuccino, lattes. Espressos as well as a great range of fruit smoothies and iced coffee drinks. One of the best things about Nero's is their loyalty card. Every time you buy a coffee you get a little red stamp (changed recently from Green, so if you have green stamps on your card you might want to get them changed over ASAP). Once you have nine stamps you get a free coffee! This is great for me as I spend a small fortune ...
