An extremely friendly welcome at the end of an afternoon, by two lovely ladies. Visiting Sherborne with my husband, we were asked if we would like our tea in mugs or in a pot. Nothing was too much trouble, we felt very welcome and would thoroughly recommend this Cafe Nero.

This was the only place open to grab a bite to eat besides the Half moon which we were already staying at and so planned to have dinner in. So we popped in for a quick bite and to warm up. We had a nice toastie and shared some tomato soup. This was very pleasant. It was cosy and had a nice atmosphere. However, I don't know if it was just the holiday but they seemed very short staffed which meant the service was just a bit awkward. The staff were pleasant don't get me wrong. But when being served they seemed to insist on taking stuff to peoples tables even though there was a big queue and there was loads of used cups, plates and trays around which I needed to move to get a seat. This did not really bother myself and my company but it did seem a bit odd. Perhaps on a less hectic day for them I would have given them a full 5 stars but on that day it just seemed too disorganised and was a bit off putting. But otherwise it was an enjoyable and cosy bite to eat out of the cold.

I love Caffe Nero, I like the dark and wood panelling of the cafe which always gives an atmosphere of warmth and the staff are very welcoming. Price wise... it's pretty expensive, at £3.70 for a large cappuccino, I can buy a jar of coffee for less but that's not the point.

Absolutely awful. Store is dirty. Dead flies in the windows that have been there for weeks. Dirt swept under the furniture, comfy chairs full of crumbs, staff seem to think it's a social club rather than a workplace. Too much talking, not enough customer service!! Toilets not cleaned yet the chart on the doors always signed off, yet staff have been witness literally walking in the loo, signing the chart and closing door. Tables never cleared or cleaned very often. Around the coffee machine etc always covered in coffee grounds etc. Never looks clean. Not a welcoming atmosphere. After several visits, we will not return again!!!!!!!!

Some people roll their eyes at coffee house chains, but at the end of the day you know what you are getting and as someone who is lactose intolerant I feel I can order safely and reliably when in a chain store. Cafe Nero in Sherborne is nestled into the high street, with large window seating it’s the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by, or you can sit further back to enjoy your coffee and chat with a friend, the seating arrangements are varied a good selection of chair types to suit most people. On a hot day there is is outside seating too. The staff are very friendly and there is good banter with the regular customers. The only thing that lets them down is the cleanliness, my coffee and pain au chocolate were lovely however the cutlery was not! I asked for clean cutler and was given a another set however, the spoon didn’t look like it had been washed at all. I used my knife to stir my coffee🤦🏼♀️

We have used this coffee house on a number of occasions and spent plenty of money drinking inside and on takeaways. We attended today with our two small dogs which are very well behaved. Sat drinking coffee when we were approached and warned by the young Manageress that if our dogs barked again we would be asked to leave. One of the dogs had barked once at another dog who came in. if the Manager had politely spoken to us I wouldn't have minded , but to be a customer spoken to like a twelve year old in front of every one was very embarrassing, it could have been handled better.. Sadly Caffe Nero in Sherborne will not get our custom again.

This Nero branch runs out of cups, spoons & cream on a daily basis. They rarely want to wash up or order sufficient quantity of ingredients. Staff are also quite rude & instead of telling customers before paying that they ran out, they just serve things like hot chocolate without cream- but charge full price & then get angry with customers for not wanting it without cream. It’s a fairly basic ingredient 😂 One would expect management to learn & adapt to demand but Instead of ordering enough, they continue ordering too little & just run out on a daily basis. There’s no other Nero branch quite like it. I have given up coming here & go to other places now… UPDATE: To be fair to this branch I visited a fifth time a few months later- hoping they had changed - but nope. No where else runs out of key ingredients so why can’t the manager of this branch cope? Furthermore, staff neglected to replace their light bulbs, resulting in a flashing strobe effect across the store for months on end. As a result, there is an autistic boy crying & the rest of the customers are suffering. This is particularly unfair on those with disabilities like autism or epilepsy as they essentially cannot use this branch. It is apparent that the management is apathetic and does not prioritise inclusivity or take care of the place. Furthermore, they ran out of spoons so we couldn’t eat the cream on our hot chocolates. 😂😂😂 it’s never ending An elderly customer had to struggle to the counter to explain to staff that they can’t run a coffee shop without spoons- staff reacted in a dramatic manner, then put all the spoons on one customers saucer for them to have to share out between everyone in the shop 😂 Tables all over the place not cleared while staff socialise with each other.. etc. (See pic) Things to improve: - replace bulbs - maintain store properly - order enough ingredients (eg cream) - ensure staff keep tables clean - do not let staff get angry with customers - ensure staff do washing up so as never to run out of cutlery (spoons) or cups This branch has such nice furnishings & vibe let down by being a complete nightmare. All unnecessarily caused by ridiculous & apathetic staff.

Fabulous place and service: the baristas know your order after a couple of visits and work expeditiously and politely under pressure ( it is trightly v popular). There are numerous spots in Sherborne to sip the caffeinated bean but this is the place to go- cannot imagine plonking myself anywhere else. Many thanks to Josh and his coruscating cohort!

I went in today with my 2 toy poodles as have done many times before. As I was sitting down getting one ready to go on my lap and the other in the dog buggy, i was told I wasn't allowed to sit my 4lb teacup dog on my lap. No part of her was touching the table or anything else,just me. I was told they would have to go on the floor. The floor was very dirty and there was no way I was putting them on that. I sat the tiny one on my lap and got some dirty looks but nothing said. I have seen lots of dogs sat on blankets on the sofas so don't see the problem. Needless to say I won't ever bother going in there again!!!

The worst neighbours in the world. They get deliveries at insane hours of the night, extremely noisy and running their engines and refrigeration units for ridiculously long times. What part of 'conservation area' do they not understand? We are not allowed double glazing, but they get to yell, swear, run their engines and pollute our homes in the name of delivering their cakes and drinks? Pick any other coffee place in Sherborne. I mean anyone. I guarantee it is better than this rubbish chain store, where the staff don't care and the product is worthless.

Usually a costa fan but when there ice machine failed I thought I'd try Nero but unfortunately it's very bad and here's why. Dirty behind the counter literally powder and mess everywhere. Frappe has a stupid timed ice grinding machine which the staff trust to much which results in you getting big chunks of ice followed by a silly small straw which is useless because of all the ice getting stuck in it. I have never had any toppins on my drinks so attention to detail is very poor. I paid for a whats meant to be a nice frappe but all I get is a chunky ice milkshake which is difficult to drink also very plain taste not much of a party in your mouth. If you think of complaining to customer support all I can say is good luck with that I complained with photo evidence and 2 weeks got nothing so I messaged again and still nothing. Very bad company who do not care about there customers and the look of there business. My advice is run fast and run far straight to costa....much better drinks and service, online support is much better as they have always treated me with care and respect. I gave you enough time café nero to get back to me!!!

We always pop in here for hot drinks when we are in Sherborne. The standard of tea and coffee is good. The seating is comfy and there are tables at which people can work or low coffee tables for those not needing to work. The pictures are interesting and the place is clean. But what makes this café special is that you always get a friendly welcome from whomever is on duty. The staff remember you from previous visits and nothing is too much trouble. The only reason I have not given an excellent rating is the air conditioning: this is very fierce and we always choose our table carefully so as not to be blasted with cold air. It's overpowering even on hot days.

Quite a nice interior but not impressed with friendliness of front of house. It states it’s a bar but seems they prefer diners. Drinks prices on a par with London. Over £15 for a pint and 175ml wine! Would not be my 1st choice of venue.

Having been a long term visitor to the garden centre I thought I would try the restaurant for breakfast for the very first time. I ordered the small breakfast at £12 and was looking forward to it but only to be really disappointed when it took 40 minutes to arrive and the restaurant was not busy at all. Very disappointed. I probably won’t be returning for the long foreseeable future. I did not complain at the time but felt I should share my views.
