The tables are not cleared the place looks run down dirty. Big queues only 2 staff who were struggling to keep up with the customers. Problem with groups of ‘students’ with laptops hogging tables. While I was there saw customers leaving because of the queues lack of free tables.

Unfortunately the manageress “Eva” wasn’t there, only a trainee barista, who was left on her own. Im sure that she was trying her best, however not only the drink was poor but also her English. I asked for a large hot chocolate, with chocolate on the top and some extra hot milk on the said, she asked me if I wanted “chocolat chaud”, I said yes. When I tasted the hot chocolate it was full of foam, went back twice asking for HOT MILK, not hot foam, finally an experienced barista showed up, she volunteered to ask me if I wanted a new one, I said no just more hot milk please. Obviously next time if I will come back here first I will ensure that an experienced member of staff is available before I repeat such an unpleasant bad experience.

I went to cafe Nero with a friend, we sat had a drink and a chat. The service was good and the atmosphere was relaxing. I would go there again. read more I went to cafe Nero with a friend, we sat had a drink and a chat. The service was good and the atmosphere was relaxing. I would go there again.
