Very often good coffee and great staff,but really wish that they would make up the vegan cream in the fridge. Perfect place for dogs too. The staff work very hard and could perhaps benefit from having one member specifically there to wash up and clear tables. Caffe Nero are a bit behind the times charging for alternative milk options.Most coffee houses no longer do so,and being penalised for allergies etc seems unfair.

Very nice staff and good atmosphere; background music is great. Dog friendly. Plenty of outdoor seating. Good position for a cuppa and cake while out and about in Cowbridge. Now offering fine foodfayre from the M&S range of delectables alongside the usual delectable selectables. Link your Waitrose card to the Nero app for some extra little benefits.

Wouldn’t go there again! In the queue of about 5 people before me for about 15 mins, painfully slow service ordered 2 drinks and the a decaf latte only to be told that they didn’t have any decaf! At this point I said if I had known I wouldn’t have waited. I was offered decaf tea which I reluctantly accepted, it was an absolute waste of money, I had one sip only it was so awful. I would have got myself a cold drink but by this time the queue was twice as long, the whole place looked very tired, definitely won’t be going there again.

At Cafe Nero Cowbridge there is one particularly rude staff member. She is a middle aged woman who has no regard for customers. At least 10 of us used to meet for coffee and cake at 5.30pm on a weekly basis (neros is open til 6.30) but after 4 months of rudeness from this staff member we’ve now changed to another venue. We moved to Nero’s when a fantastic independent restaurant and coffee shop closed in the town. In Nero’s Cowbridge we were not sure what the problem was and wondered if this staff member didn’t want customers after 5.30? She’s been rude at lunchtimes too, as if customers are an irritant. But more unhappy about people walking in the door later on. The coffee isn’t quite as good but we aren’t made to feel unwelcome now, quite the opposite. We did wonder if the lady in question was going through a hard time and cut her some slack for ages. But enough is enough . Please give her some support and training . Plenty of other places to meet in Cowbridge.

Popped in for a quick coffee early this morning as the Waitrose cafe wasn’t open. This place is ideally situated. We ordered a latte and tea. The floors were dirty by the counter, under the tables were dirty. I used the loo, floor was dirty in there too. Shame, the coffee was really good, but we wiped our feet on the way out.

My husband and I really enjoy Neros’ coffee and cakes. What we don’t enjoy are the numerous dogs whose jaws/mouths are usually at table-top level. The other day a couple allowed their dog to sit in an upholstered chair and when they left it was covered in dog hairs! The staff are usually very friendly despite being rushed off their feet but in consequence the tables look grubby and the floors filthy. A shame as the coffee and food are great.

This place is hit and miss, some days the coffee is good some days not and the same goes for service, the staff are mostly lovely but over worked. It's very busy often has long queues but the one consistent is that the place is in desperate need of an over haul. Worn out chairs, stained that need reupholstering, grunge in the corners of the floor. It needs to close for a deep clean whilst sending the staff on a well earned all expenses paid holiday.

Terrible service at this Nero’s. Numerous issues - not listening to the order, serving the wrong items, overcharging for items (and acknowledging it, but claiming the system won’t allow it to be cancelled or reversed!), and not including extras requested, despite telling us they have. Absolutely awful service. There’s plenty of other coffee shops in Cowbridge, I’d recommend you visit one of them.

For the last few months this coffee shop has really been badly run, long queues, poor service, dirty and tables stacked high with dirty cutlery. However we visited today and it was a revelation, inside was full, yet a very short queue. The staff were cheerful and polite and most of all the toilet was cleaner than I've seen it in years. I'm hoping we have a new manager because it's a massive improvement.

They need to teach the kids who work there that it's rude to turn your back on a customer and start making the next person's coffee while you are paying. No sign of a thanks. I made the point of asking the young girl who who turned her back on me if my payment had gone through. It's not really even a case of training, it's just bad manners and bad attitude. Never go to Nero again, especially that one.

Nice coffee shop, but waiting times to get served are ridiculous on the weekend.

The staff are always lovely, but they are quite often short staffed, meaning they are clearly flat out and the queue can get tediously long, and sometimes tables need clearing for a bit too long. They play excellent background music not crashy bangy pop rubbish, making a nice relaxing atmosphere. The coffee is just about perfect. They use quality alternative milks - soya, oat, coconut etc, which some competitors have tended to save pennies on by getting cheap stuff in. Not the cheapest place to have coffee, but definitely the best.

I like the atmosphere at this Caffe Nero. The staff clean tables after customers leave - pretty quick considering there's not many staff there for such a busy place. The service can be slow sometimes, but that's when people want the more complex orders, not the staff's fault. Clean, tidy, comfortable, good background music. Not cheap, but you can't have it all.

Visited Caffe Nero Cowbridge 15th February only to be greeted abruptly yet again by Claire M Staff member. I ordered my first coffee a skinny latte for my mother, then to follow ordered a Caramel Latte (which may I add I didn't get) & 2 pieces of cake only to have ClaireM roll her eyes directly at me then turn and tut. The attitude was aggressive and argumentative and made me feel immensely unwelcomed. I expressed my dismay at her rolling her eyes at me and said there was absolutely no need for the behaviour, only to be barked at "well we are busy". I said retrospect of whether you are busy or not there was absolutely no need for the rudeness. (THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME EITHER) The shop had 5 couples in there max and 2 people queuing behind me. Had I not already paid for my items, I would have just walked out and gone to Costa Coffee 10 steps around the corner. ClaireM then came out from behind the counter to collect cups etc throwing them into a bucket loudly, quite frankly I am surprised you have any left and customers at that with that behaviour. Let's just say I could not drink my coffee and eat my cake fast enough and leave. The young man serving alongside her was pleasant and friendly and greeted the customers the way they should be. AVOID THIS STORE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE DIRT UNDER THIS INDIVIDUALS SHOES!! SORRY NEROS YOU HAVE LOST MY CUSTOM NOW!

Love Caffe Nero. My local is Cowbridge however I will not visit there again. My husband and I have had a few bed experiences there during our last few visits. The older lady that served us (on both occasions) is very rude. We ordered a soya latte and a vegan cheesecake and she laughed at us. Very rude person. She then tried to correct herself by saying someone else had ordered one and it's supposed to be nice. Other staff member was a lad who was so busy talking to his colleague about his relationship troubles and charged us twice. Good coffee shop, awful staff.

In general all Covid regs in place. Regarding Track n Trace ,the assistant was slightly offhand,and assumed I was able to use the App. I hadn't downloaded that as I've not been to many cafes etc, and so she took a note of my name and phone number. But also there would be many people who wouldn't even know what that was, nevermind have downloaded it. Especially if people aren't that tech savvy. Thought it should be taken in a rather different way by explaining exactly what it was etc.In addition due to the Covid regs, my toastie was served in a paper bag,but there was no napkin with it ir any available to pick up. I used my own paper tissues.

With Coronavirus a real threat - surely better hygiene is called for in cafes. The waitress was very pleasant but careless in personal hygiene. She kept coughing into the palm of her bare hand. This is a dog friendly cafe and she coughed into her bare hands, did not have food gloves on. then stroked two dogs, and did NOT was her hands, she then continued to handle cups. Training must be stepped up on basic hygiene let alone Coronavirus threats considered. I tried to find an email to notify management for better training, to no avail. Ringing the telephone number would not resolve this issue as the waitress would likely take the call.
