The staff were extremely friendly & helpful. We only purchased drinks during this visit & our coffees couldn't be faulted, they were nice & hot with plenty of flavour.

Probably the most beautiful Caffè Nero of them all. Stunning and huge tudor building. Great service and lovely place for a drink.

The toilet facilities are in need of an overall, but in the meantime, a good clean may help to get rid of the smell of urine.

I appreciate it is a historic building, but Cafe Nero looks and feels very tired and needs some attention and love from the owners

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.

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…

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!

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.

The lattes were lovely when we visited on New Year's Eve, but the cleanliness of the place leaves a lot to be desired. There were old cobwebs hanging across the corners of the window. There were also lots of tables that needed cleaning, so we were unable to find a good one. We asked the man (trainee barista) who was collecting cups, to clean a table for us and he removed the cups and tray, cleaned the tray, but left our table dirty....this same person was later seen sneezing into his hand and then proceeding to prepare food. Another barista said 'bless you' to him, but didn't even think to recommend he washed his hands....Disgusting....

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 👌🏻

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

Lovely evening spent at Hub Box in Taunton. Despite being a large table we were greeted very quickly and the food came out in great time. Everything was delicious, with empty plates all-round! A very large party had arrived upstairs, which can sometimes mean a change to the service you receive, but staff continued to be attentive when checking on our food, asking about extra drinks, desserts and paying the bill. Shout out to the chefs who were clearly very busy this evening but didn’t let their high standards drop 🤩👏👏

My daughters (aged 7) and I eat here regularly when in town and always enjoy it. On this visit both kids had the mini burger from the kids menu but there was nothing mini about it! Great sized and tasty burger with fries and some cucumber /tomato. I had a goats cheese and pesto pasta bake with loads of peppers which was really good. Service was good and friendly as usual. We will be back!
