Caffe Nero in Taunton Deane - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Staff absolutely brilliant. Food excellent as is the coffee. Always busy but that's to be expected. If a thing is worth it then it's worth waiting for. As for the building all I can say is it has to be seen to believe. It's absolutely wonderful

Friendly staff, been there twice with vouchers that are in date from Nectar but have not worked but staff have fulfilled my drinks. Service is not the fastest and queue can happen but drinks are great quality.

Lovely coffee. Girls can do very good steamed milk !

Very mixed feelings. On one hand I do like Caffe Nero, and I do like this particular building very much, it's historic and has character. But... the service is awful. I visited this weekend and last weekend, and both times they were just so, so slow. I saw a number of people giving up waiting, and the front of the store was a heaving mess of people just waiting for their drinks to be made. I have never known a coffee shop with such slow service, ever. It was really bad. Last weekend when I went in, the barista was more interested in talking to her colleague than doing her job, to the point where as she poured my espresso shot into the cup, she spilt a proportion of it as she wasn't looking at what she was doing. Pretty unforgivable for a barista, really, when coffee is the heart of their job. One other thing - the coffee here is served undrinkably hot. Even with a cardboard sleeve the cup was almost too hot to hold. Coffee shouldn't be that hot. Something is very wrong here. This branch needs some management attention and some staff retraining, as it's letting down the brand. And I rarely post bad reviews, but this one needed it.

Always a wait, for unfathomable reasons. Drafty, dusty and tired. Good coffee when you eventually get it.

Given there’s plenty of choice in Taunton, and one of the main reasons to chose cafe nerro is the amazing medieval building, to have the gallery - the best bit - permanently closed ‘for cleaning’ is a terrible waste…

Always only one barista on at peak times in the morning. Seems to be a staffing issue, waited 25 minutes for one coffee. Takes so long

Service was pretty slow, they got my order wrong, and I didn't get my usual discount.

Fantastic Tudor building in which you can drink your favourite brew whilst looking up at the ceiling!

No food eaten so cannot comment

Taunton branch is terrible always slow to serve today with people queuing out the door one staff member decided to stop serving and disappear for a while another reluctantly came out of the wash up then one other who was serving decided not to continue and started cleaning up the serving area which wasn’t that untidy and move other items around . None of them seemed to be very happy failed to interact with the customers just a terrible experience all round if it wasn’t for my meerkat discount I’d have gone elsewhere.

What’s gone wrong here? It’s dirty, tatty and opening hours are erratic. The rows of used milk jugs lined the counter clearly unwashed. Tried to enjoy a coffee here but very difficult with the manager shouting every five minutes. “Restricted seating only - get a seat before you order” “Closing early you’ve got 15 minutes” “Darling this and that.. “ Her voice echoes through the building. It’s not a nice peaceful experience whatsoever and the coffee was lukewarm!

Very friendly staff, good quality coffee situated in one of the oldest buildings in Taunton with a lot of history

Very good customer service. Standard Cafe Nero menu. Excellent location in this Tudor building.

The ladies and gents toilets are disgusting especially when you consider food is being served here, it sends out the wrong message! The place is run down and needs a new refit!!

I’ve worked in the hospitality industry and cafes for a while and if any of my managers saw this they would not be impressed. Firstly, queue going out the door because staff are taking ages to fulfill orders. When I did come to order, the lady (who handled my food and drinks) kept coughing and apologising because “she’s ill”. When I did get my food and drinks, my sandwiches (one bacon and one tomato and mozzarella) were on the same plate. As a vegetarian, I was obviously dissatisfied with this, but couldn’t be bothered to wait longer and have the other sandwich and coffees go cold. My mother went over to ask for a second plate and explained that she had put a meat sandwich and a veggie sandwich on the same plate, the lady who served me told her “it wasn’t an issue” and then heavily sighed when my mother still wanted the second plate. Coffee tastes bitter due to baristas not cleaning group head properly in between pulling shots. A staff member clearing tables tried to take my plate with half a sandwich still on it. Overall, really poor experience.

Very pretty building and friendly staff. Definitely a nice place to chill. Music not to loud and just generally a good vibe.

My favourite coffee shop with friendly staff. Never had a bad experience.

Paid £18.59 for lunch this included a tomatoe soup No ciabata in a cardboard cuo, tuna panini half cold, coffee and orange juice. In neros site ut clearly states all soup us served with a ciabata and butter, nothing. When we asked the lady stated we never givevtolls, CON ARTISTS AND RIPPED US OFF. Have complained to head office stay away from this place

Beautiful cafe in an historic town. Great coffee.

One of my favourite coffee shops.

Very busy so expect a long queue to be served

I love the service from the staff bcoss they always know just looking @ me they know what I will like

Lovely place nice friendly staff and nice place to relax

A magnificent Nero's great coffee and wonderful staff.

Great coffee in a lovely old building.

Staff very helpful @friendly the only problem is it's not that clean the bay windows have wild life in the form of spiders and its thick with cobwebs and dust .by the look of it it's not been cleaned since Mrs Haversham visited in the 1800s cleanliness not big here.dont sit in the bay windows.

I come here with my partner probably every other week, if not weekly, and I must say it never dissapoints. The building is the oldest building in Taunton, very fascinating, with Tudor architecture and a lot of character. The food and the drinks are always on point and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend their pork and pancetta sausage roll or the vegetarian sausage roll 👌🏻

Helpful staff and friendly service..clean restaurant area in stunning building…lots of historic references to the Judge known as the hanging Judge Jeffries …plenty of comfortable seating with charging points for lap tops / phones (assuming you have your own cable of course)…toilets on upper floor … very pleasant background music - good quality coffee and enjoyable pastries

Didn't but had a coffee with a friend and the barrister was very attentive a nd polite.

Miserable staff. Unclean tables everywhere. What a disappointment.

Much better, fresher drinks than Costa. More diverse variation and much friendlier, very under rated. Got a phenomenal pisctaccio frappe, so good in fact I grabbed a second drink. Usually I walk out after 1, but not during this visit. Magnificent.

Hot chocolate with cream is amazing here and add to that a slice of caramel shortbread and it's on another level. Love it.

Very relaxing and mellow atmosphere from hussle and bustle of the high street, staff very friendly, lovely coffee, will visit again when in Taunton

Food and drinks were excellent. Very slow service, it took over 10 minutes to complete our order of two focaccia's, two cakes and two drinks. Person taking the order went off halfway through ordering to make the drink and then had to go back and forth to make the other. Dirty cups and plates left on the majority of tables. Very dusty and cobwebby - yes it's an old building but when you walk in and immediately see cobwebs at chest height it's not great... Also not great that there's no ramp to the back of the cafe, making it inaccessible unless you want to sit next to everyone queueing

A nice place to go for a coffee in the center of Taunton with a nice atmosphere and great coffee ☕🍩

Nice and quiet, very comfy and the coffee is always good.

Cafetería muy bonita....buen café...

My go to coffeehouse in Taunton. Lovely quirky old building, lot of atmosphere.

Popular coffee shop located in one of Taunton's oldest and most historic buildings. Good indoor and outdoor seating. Free WiFi. Can get busy at peak times, ie early morning and lunchtimes.

Google Maps and the website as well say it opens at 7am on Saturday's. Arrived at 07:15 and doors were locked. Disappointed as I wanted my early morning coffee before long journey Edit: second visit, slow service

This is a surprising coffee shop . It is huge inside and all beems and timber framed.

I had a cold cappacino which wss the worst i had tasted as the coffee seemed to seperate from the milk which made it look and taste awful.

Muy bonito por fuera y por dentro...

Superb place, very historic town and shop showed that 👌

Typical dark, cosy coffee shop. Love the rustic feeling inside. Can't comment on the food as not eaten there, but the coffee and hot chocolates are just average, if I'm honest! Staff friendly though!

I ordered a Caramel Latte which is on the luxury board but it came un luxury ie no cream or caramel drizzle. I love Nero and my coffee was nice but soured by the service which was disappointing. This a treat for me, and was looking forward to it. It costs nothing to be pleasant even if you have been very busy or having a bad day. I left fedling deflated.

This Cafe Nero is in a lovely old building which makes it a very nice atmosphere for a coffee, chat and relax. Staff were friendly, our order was ready promptly and the coffee tasty. Dog friendly too, would definitely recommend a visit.

It's a bog standard Cafe Nero, but it's in a beautiful Tudor building.

Always happy to go to Cafe Nero first thing in the morning for coffee and a relaxing moment before a busy day.

Nice place for coffee but the tables are never cleared in a timely manner, leaving little choice of where to sit without moving dirty cups and plates to another table! Here on Saturday morning around 9.30 and most tables full of dirty dishes - not a good look.

One of the prettiest Cafe Neros I have been to

Go here every week with my grandson and enjoy the coffee . However I am fed up with the state of the toilets! There is either something missing, Broken, out of order or like today… an over flowing sanitary bin. PLEASE. Can someone sort these toilets out !!

Good coffee, amazing cakes and lovely staff! Nice atmosphere all around. One of my favourites coffee places in town.

A lovely coffee shop, a real nook in the busy town centre. Comfy and a nice relaxed atmosphere!

Nice cosy establishment, friendly staff but service is soooo slow. Great place for a coffee if you have plenty of spare time, avoid if dying of thirst.

I have always enjoyed coming to Cafe Nero in Taunton as the coffee is the best. However, it has really gone downhill. At a busy time, there is only one person serving (as the other person is busy dealing with the Uber Eats orders!). I waited over 30 minutes just to get a coffee. This is just not good enough 😕

It's really odd they make you move out of most of the cafe late afternoon hours before they close. Quite disappointing as we had our laptops etc set up and were made to move to an already full area. Coffee is nice and so is the building. Just annoying that they close the nicest part of the cafe way before the cafe closes

Lovely place and quiet and very helpful and polite people

Cafe Nero are good there coffee is much better than the chain that does not pay any tax on its profits. The staff are friendly and patient with customers who suddenly add extra things to the order. Comfortable seats and a nice buzz to the place.

Great coffee in a lovely building and relaxed vibe

This is a beautiful building, There was a long queue, there were a few staff who seemed very relaxed, chatting and one or another would seem to check seating areas were closed. I sent my child to sit at a centre table to have a place to sit. Others were offered only takeaway. Not the best experience, this place used to be so lovely!

The place itself is good, but that can't be said for all the staff. There was a few people, including myself and family that had just sat down with our food and drinks for lunch, when one of the women working there announces the area we're sat in will be closed off in 6 minutes and we all have to move to a different part of the cafe that was already full. Expecting us to then go and stand in the other area to eat our food. Not very good customer service at all.

Lovely food and drink but abit dirty.

After weston /yeovil ,this was complete opposite Both those gave us drinks that was fantastic Here same drinks ,joke.. Caramal latta and cherry mocha Shame

The Guy who served me with my latte forgot to put my cup on a saucer , so after he had pored my drink he picked my cup up around where I drink placing his whole hand over my cup . His hands didn't look that clean . The windows and wood work are disgustingly dirty the whole shop needs a good clean. I won't be returning.

Standard Nero fare, long slow moving line of people waiting to be served.

This coffee shop was build during the reign of henry the eighth great coffee, good food,good atmosphere

Internet speed is dreadful, 1.9Mbps Download Speed, head office need to sort this problem out, can't have a proper Teams meeting. Other than that, staff friendly and decent coffee.....

Caffè Nero is in a beautiful building, worth a visit, great atmosphere.

What a dirty filthy place you can write your name in the dust and the trolley that was by our table looked like it hadn't seen a cloth let alone water for a very long time One of the staff had a t shirt on that wa stained and needed a good wash and this was early in the day I think it's so dirty even the table was concerning if my husband hadn't already got the drinks I would of walked straight out The staff had time to mess about shame they don't use that time to clean they were in the corner behind the counter acting like children although the kids in there were much better behaved Would definitely not recommend this place I would of given them zero star rating but you have to give at least one for the review

We have been several times here as normally the quality if the coffee is nice. Last time we had a hot chocolate that was good but the mocka was a disaster. I haven't experienced rhis before so I cannot say in general the coffee shop is bad but sometimes they need to focus more on the coffee. This time I had to leave like this. The inside is very big and confortable with lots of sofas and also a terrace.

Friendly staff and cosy environment inside. It has a little terrace on a pedestrian area with not a lot of noise from cars. I like the amount of light inside coming from the translucid ceiling which guves this place a special touch. Toilets are a bit far away upstairs and not wheelchair accessible. Some sofas need replacement because of excessive wear and tear.

Fantastic atmosphere in a very old place of 1578. Dogs are allowed too. Dogs love to chill in Cafe Nero just as much as you do when you can relax in the chair.

Bought in our dog and just chilling out with coffee and a muffin.

Nice relaxing place nice coffee

Coffee was good, but the place was grubby & felt dirty. A really disappointing experience. Not good having smokers outside the front door either.

Coffee and croissants were good, but the standard of cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. Dirty crockery, sticky tables, dirty floor and a general feeling of grubbiness and lack of care. Not a pleasant experience will think twice before returning.

Apparently this is one of the oldest buildings in Taunton. And there's something special labout this Caffè Nero - maybe the building and the layout is part of the appeal. It's very chilled, has decent coffee and snacks and just works.

Lovely staff and Amazing coffee!

Visited Taunton. Quaint old-world shop. A welcome break before exploring the town

Well this place was amazing 👏 very friendly staff 👏 😀 👌 had a very nice coffee and my wife got to rest up just wish they had a disabled toilet 🚻 only let down

Nice place to meet have coffee and talk friendly and good value

We made an online order through Just Eat, Just eat said the order had been confirmed then the status changed to drive at restaurant, then we noticed it had been like this best part of an hour, then cafe Nero cancelled the order saying they could not make it! This is terrible service!

Lovely Cappuccino coffee with a yummy Danish. Got a chair straight away. Did not wait too long in queue.

Quick, friendly service. Interesting decor. Drinks made to Caffè Nero specification. 5-star trip.

I've been in there a few times now, and the guy that has always greeted me when making my drink has honestly made it. The drinks are nice and the atmosphere is relaxed. A couple issues I've seen with tables not being cleaned and cleared though. I've been with friends and tables that were dirty before I sat down, were still like it half an hour later when we've left. Especially important during the summer season, so I hope it changes

Coffee and cake was lovely toilets were disgusting which is a shame.

Stopped for afternoon coffee and apricot croissant in a lovely old building. Sat by a big fireplace. Lovely ambiance and by far the best coffee of all the big chains (in my opinion).

Service is incredibly slow. Areas are blocked off late afternoon - presumably to avoid cleaning it at closing. This means there is very little room for customers. Again for cleaning reasons I assume, you're given take away cups and food in cardboard boxes if you're there after 5. Often a mess, often understaffed.and when there are staff... There is very little concern about how incredibly slowly the queue is moving. (I've noticed this in the Taunton Costa too...) How about you worry about using a phone charger *after* you've removed the open bin that you've left both in front of the entrance and in front of the sandwiches. It *used to be* a very nice place to sit and enjoy a coffee. It's being run into the ground by laziness now though. It is still the nicest tasting coffee though, hence some stars.

Not very good customer service. 3 staff behind the counter ( not really doing anything besides going back and forth) one customer in front of me waiting and no one behind me in the queue at the beginning. After 2 or 3 minutes waiting where staff were talking amongst themselves ,no eye contact to the other customer or myself, one managed to complete a hot drink for the customer in front of me and to put some pastry in a bag whilst the other two just kept on looking busy going back and forth. By this time other customers joined the queue but still no movement from the other two staff to acknowledge that already there was quite a bit of a queue there...

Not great. Queued for 25 minutes for our drinks . Floor was dirty too !

Usual selection in a great location

Good service, nice environment, friendly staff.

Only issue was having bad signal no wifi !

Great coffee but quite slow service under staffed

Very busy...not that clean hence the 4 star but served quite quickly ...staff ok .

Place was closing down for the day but happy to serve. Had to ask for China and not takeaway cups but still accommodated and not rushed out the door, unlike Costa who refused to serve Would go back and ignore Costa

Delicious coffee, it was busy but the wait was not too bad. No food.

Love the atmosphere in this place and very friendly and welcoming staff
