Caffè Nero

Love this place… Came here often for coffee as well as to just use the toilets when i’m passing by… The staff are pretty relaxed i’ve even seen them give free coffees to homeless people that come in. They don’t bother or rush you to finish… The venue is spacious with plenty of seating from chairs to couches… The vibe is very relaxed… For a franchise place they serve great coffee… Would i go back? Always…

Packed and heaving with locals and tourists and just about always busy.
Good food, priced well, nice selections of drinks, as well.
Wish they had wi-​fi and a loo. What is it with this chain, so everywhere in London and they don’t have wi-​fi? Behind the times, they are. And probably afraid that people will park themselves and slow customer turnover. Business myths if you know how to run a modern business…

Love this Nero. The staff is always courteous and helpful, and whenever I find the window seats vacant, I always enjoy myself that much more, as I get to drink in the view of Trafalgar Square at the front, or, alternatively, the Admiralty Arch at the back!!!

This was my first time visiting Caffe Nero, so I had high expectations hearing good things about the franchise and gluten free and seeing so many of their stores around London.
My experience wasn’t so good, I was served by a trainee barista who didn’t seem to know what he was doing, I ordered a Carmel Latte (not sure how they brand it), expecting a caramel flavoured latte then to find out due to research it is more of a vanilla latte with caramel however I could not really taste the flavour and it was just like a cup of coffee for me.
I ordered 2 Gluten Free Products, one a Double Chocolate Brownie, this wasn’t great, quite alot of places now do a Gluten Free brownie including Costa and Starbucks and this one was not good and no where near the quality of the others. It just tasted dry and horrible.
Something else I ordered was a Coconut Raspberry Cake sort thing, made of Coconut slices and Raspberry Jam in the middle. This was okay, not the best Ii have ever had Gluten free good wise but I would of preferred it to be a coconut paste on top instead of pieces.
I defiantly would not recommend this branch of Caffe Nero, although the coffee was good quality.

Stayed at the Trafalgar Square Hilton next door for a couple of weeks. This Caffe Nero was a great way to help start my mornings. The baristas are über efficient, chewing through large lines quite quickly. Unlike the nearby Starbucks, the baristas here made a lovely drink every time.
The atmosphere is spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. That said, it can be a bit crowded on weekends when the square has an event.
The WiFi is free at this location.

Well, what can you say about one specific Caffe Nero? This one is right next to Trafalgar Square, so tourists are all over the place. Otherwise it is your standard Caffe Nero, baristas are good, food is good, cookies is good, and it is not Starbucks if that matters do you in any way.

Stopped by in between sigh seeing around Trafalgar Square. This café provided us with free wifi which is much appreciated while traveling. We caught up with loved ones and then headed back to Trafalgar Square. Lots of food items and drinks on the menu. It’s clean, comfortable, and convenient.
