Caffe Nero Preston, Fishergate

Always reliable for a good tasty coffee. For me, better than the nearby competition and the food is more varied.

Drinks OK, difficult to mess up green tea or Americano. However, beware the panettone. Apparently “head office” dictate that it should be heated in the toaster, so it comes out looking as though it’s been run over by a lorry, and is just as appetising. Very reluctantly, and with a distinct “face”, the barista heated one up in their microwave as per the packaging, and it was rather nice. Poor experience though.

I regularly stop off at Cafe Nero for a soya latte. At home I drink my freshly brewed coffee black, but here, I always go for the soya latte as it is so dreamy. Staff are pleasant, and the premises are clean.

Good location as always but the usual poor customer experience. I ended up coming out without being served as their was only one person serving and I now refuse to queue like I am in the 1930s Soviet Union. At least they are consistent consistently poor

Caffe Nero is a reliable coffee chain that has a number of useful features it serves drinks for consumption on the premises in proper cups not paper ones; its scone jam cream is decent (though not as good as a home made one); and it alweays has decaf coffee available. So on a recent journey when I had an hour to kill waiting for a train connection at Preston, I was able to leave the station and turn right it's about 5 minutes walk up Fishergate to Caffe Nero. The branch was quiet (it was late afternoon) but seemed typical there's outside seating for smokers, and seats inside on two floors. The barista was friendly.
