Caffe Nero in Oxford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Sorry to say 1. Not the usual kindness 2. Not the usual quality 3. Not the usual cleaness

The Asian manager’s attitude stinks. Got pointed at and was spoken to with so much attitude!

One lady who works here is absolutely horrible. She's rude to every customer that walks in and is actually quite malicious. Is being nice to people really that hard? I feel bad for her colleagues because it's clear she even treats them horribly, she was snapping at them and trying to make their lives difficult. I understand that working in the service industry is hard at times, and that customers themselves can be difficult but to treat everyone you interact with in that way is simply out of order. If her colleagues are reading this I'm sure you know who I'm talking about! I truly feel for you!

I like the coffee and atmosphere here, but the service I received today was awful. The barista was extremely curt and abrasive in her approach, and it made the customer feel pretty unwelcome. It was an unpleasant start to the day.

Very kind service, the atmosphere is very pleasant. After that, our trip in the morning became much better ☺️☺️ thank you very much!

Lovely atmosphere, excellent coffee, outstanding fruit scones

Terrible, rude, poorly trained and unprofessional.

Definitely a Cafe with flavour. Never have I been to a cafe with such fantastic service! Especially by barista Michaela, who always works hard, is super fast and at the same manages to keep the contact with customers! Her kindness and professionalism are unique. I love the Pistachio Latte and the Tiramisu here 👌

Took forever to get served. It was the barista's first day yet she was left alone to fend for herself. The manager decided that when she came upstairs that she would mess around with the pot washer instead of serving the growing line of patient customers. Customers by now were walking out without a purchase. When she finally decided to serve someone all they got was a "yep". No customer service skills. A sorry for your wait or a pleasant good morning would have been appropriate. I'm a fan of the Clarinet Concerto in A Major, but it was way too loud and prevented conversation. I won't be returning to this store. One the plus point, the trainee barista did her best and served a great coffee.

James is the best barista ever! Very friendly and patient with everyone and tries to get everyone the best deal possible and always checks if you're eligible for a discount and always had great recommendations!

A nice cafe in the center of Oxford! The service really is top notch and the food is outstanding! They have more seating in the basement and the ambiance is nice throughout! Can get a little busy depending on the time of the day. They have sandwiches, wraps, cakes Etc and hot and cold beverages. Recommended for a quick bite or a long hangout

Always best Caffè for me but but I was more delighted in oxford Caffè Nero was the staff they are marvelous hates off to them

This cafe can only continue as it is because of its privileged location in Blackwells Bookshop. Consequently, the managers appear to have become complacent about the customer experience. It was evident that the cafe had not been properly cleaned for a very long time. All surfaces, walls, table tops seats and the floor were filthy, as was the cutlery. The staff need further training in the basics of hospitality. I will not recommend this venue to either friends or family.

The two members of staff were very good in how they dealt with each customer. Polite, engaging.

Is it a good service if a staff ignore you and busy around when you were talking to them？ That is my experience today, the staff ran away twice during our conversation without any excuse or apology. The staff even did not let me collect a stamp when I paid for the coffee. I am a fan of Cafe Nero, wherever I’ve been, I would like to get a cup of coffee. Nottingham, Espom, Enfield,etc. It has never happened before. I am so disappointed in the services.

Excellent service falls short, they are fantastic! They serve with kindness, the coffee is great, I love coming to this place 💌

Such a lovely barista. Best service I've ever had when buying a coffee! Incredible coffee as always

Enough seating and the person serving was enthusiastic and approachable.

Usual dreary decor with several numpties hogging tables with their laptops and " skinny lattes". Coffee good, but expensive. (Make your own, it can be better snd definitely cheaper)

Nice cafe with a pleasant basement area. Let down with poor maintenance including out of action toilets.

I just wanted to pass on my appreciation for Leslie and her team at the Oxford High Street location. I’ve been coming for three years and am always struck by the level of friendliness shown by the team - they recognise and know me by name, know my order, and are quick with a joke and a smile. Hands down the best Nero I’ve been too.

Our recent visit was elevated to an extraordinary experience, all thanks to James. His cheerful and friendly demeanour made our coffee stop not just about the beverage but about the warm and welcoming atmosphere he created. James is a true coffee maestro, and his outstanding customer service is a shining example of what every customer hopes for. We need more people like him to make our daily interactions delightful! :)

Rud very rud woman miserable always

Lovely caramelised onion and cheese lattice and a hot chocolate. Have to admit the downstairs loos are a bit filthy though.

Avoid. Manager was rude and toilets were dirty.

10.45 on a Thursday morning and there were no bacon rolls, not even a sandwich. There was one member of staff on hand. Very disappointing as we ended up with food that we didn’t really want. Normally love Nero and we only stayed because we were very hungry, no other reason

Had a long journey before arriving in Oxford and needed loo and a coffee. Went to my trusted place in Oxford cafe Nero to use loo and have a coffee. Loos sadly out of order so had to get to market loos before returning for a lovely coffee and pastry. Coffee is great but place looking a little tired. The trainee barista serving today was really good - both with me and other customers - he was cheery - friendly and made great coffee.

Best cafe in oxford! The coffee is good, staffs are so friendly, and plenty if seats to do work!

Reasonably pleasant city centre coffee shop option.

Come here most mornings and always great service, nice food and drinks and comfy seating too! Thanks

It is a quiet and good place but the yellow light is awful.

Good place to enjoy coffee while working on your laptop

I happen to be at Caffe Nero in High street quiet often I never wanted to say anything but it does look like they are so understaffed I am a human resources manager and I can tell when a team member is stressed. People need a break even from other people asking for a coffee or a panino ( as panini is the wrong translation from the Italian). My order is always the same a latte with the coffee put on a side I asked for it 100000 times in all United Kingdom and they seem to be still surprised at Caffe Nero they answer very annoyed and in a rude way they ask you in brackets probably thinking in their mind (how the hell do you want it?) In Italy we have several ways of ordering a coffee as noone is the same. I am not allowed to have coffee and It is too strong the taste as well I adore it in my latte as to slightly taste the flavour everytime I ask for less coffee they put a lot anyway so this is my way to measure it on my own. There is nothing wrong with it. She is now speaking about the rota very annoyed so there must be some overload of work here. On the top of her rude approach the croissants were raw, as I was intimidated I did not dare to underline it.The tallest one seemed to be annoyed about my request in the past as well and the way she calls customers I deem it inappropriate "honey and sweetheart" I do not feel your honey. Also I do think the presentation is an important side of your job and she is always looking very rough like her hair could fall on my coffee anytime as I found one once.

Nice good coffee and excellent friendly service

I had not visited one of these cafes for ages, so I thought I'd check the High Street establishment out. As is my norm, I ordered the cappuccino and hoped that it would be good following a disappointing drink at another chain recently. I was pleasantly surprised to find both a great cup of coffee and very friendly, courteous staff. You would not find a better, stronger brew than I had here - a good start to the day. Added to that was the extremely dark chocolate muffin. It makes a nice change to find such a decent cappuccino - even better to have friendly staff who know how to make coffee the correct way. Well done!

Nice old narrow building with basement seating. Loo 🚻. Food available. Excellent quality coffee. Power & USB.

Yawn! Go to love coffee across the road instead - much more pleasant and not a boring chain.

Staff are lovely, super friendly and helpful. Ordered in for breakfast and the downstairs was peaceful and a cosy start to my morning. Toilets need to be cleaned.

Downstairs is a very pleasant quiet area with a very nice atmosphere. Plenty of arm chairs and places to work

Cafe Nero on high street has become my new favourite, Had one of the best customer services from the lady who served me. The drink she recommended was spot on and she was very friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough.

1st time going the over day believe it or not! But aside from it being a bit pricey, it's very nice

Best cafe nero I visited in ages.

You take a coffee chain (that does mediocre coffee) and team up with Three (which has terrible network and constant drop-outs) and somehow it works! £1 coffee every week! I can look past the pastries which have been sitting there for days. £1 for any hot drink! You can’t really go wrong. Just make sure you get your voucher in advance and screenshot it as Cafe Nero blocks out your already weak Three signal.

Per me luogo must in Inghilterra. Puoi consumare ottimo caffè, dolci, collegarti ad internet, chiacchierare e pensare. Personale attento e gentile

Nice and cozy. The toilets need updating

I always love going to Cafe Nero. Only thing I would say is this is not the best layout It seems that it is not really suitable for your average Cafe Nero

Has a lovely aesthetic downstairs would rate 5/5 but dropped a star because of the goofy ahh elevator music that dampened my experience

Nice and quiet place for a morning coffee.

Good coffee. Bacon and Brie Panini nice but sauce was a bit too strong a tasre

Polite staff and good coffee, this is what you find in this coffee shop! :)

Lovely vibe and atmosphere, went later on in the day for a quick coffee and the guy behind the counter was super friendly

Good coffee as always. Served by a not very pleasant member of staff. No please or thank you and as miserable as sin - politeness and manners still mean a lot

These Baristas know the meaning of quality service! A bit loud at times, and a long queue that takes up much of the entrance/gangway but worth if for the efficient, friendly service

Fantastyczne miejsce przynajmniej w Anglii, w Polsce podali spalona kawe. Fantastic place in Oxford, very good coffee.

Prefer independent coffee shops but Nero are dog friendly and that alone is worth 4 stars for me. Decent decaffeinated cappuccino and food choices. Staff always friendly and helpful

Great value place for a hot drink in Oxford City centre, plenty of additional seating downstairs.

the leader of this coffee shop is unkind. We got blamed because we only bought two cups of coffee but stayed there working for the whole afternoon. Terrible experience.

Service great does a coffee shop have a atmosphere?price 4 food too high but so are the all c.shops

Nice food. Nice staff. Chilling atmosphere

I highly recommend this place to all very good foods and drinks

I'm here most days with my Dog, lovely staff, nice atmosphere and comfortable.

Caffe Nero on High Street is my favourite place to go when I want to drink coffee and do my own work at the same time. There are more seats downstairs, and I can see many people studying in the cafe during Oxford term time. I personally like to drink their iced Americano because I love iced Americano and this is one of the few cafes in Oxford that it tastes nice. I have also tried their festive menu, Salted Caramel Brownie Hot Chocolate and it tasted really great.

Good value place to grab a hot drink in Oxford city centre, with a nice range of drinks and snacks. Really liked the interior with all the books, especially the single seat stations, perfect if you want to get a bit of work done. Staff were very friendly and rescued my phone when I misplaced it and kept it safe.

Best cafe Nero I've ever been to. Ladies at the counter were lovely and very kind.

Really nice barista made me a delicious coffee and made me smile after my awful day. Thank you.

Friendly staff, very chatty, knowledgeable about the winter menu, I had the tomato & basil soup - very yummy

Nice place. Good view to high street

The bartender is really friendly and nice. It was the shine of the day. Unfortunately, the coffee tasted very bad.

Café Nero - é nossa companhia preferida para tomar uma ótima moka (chocolate + leite) e sanduiches..

Pregnant women are not allowed to go to the bathroom.

Nice place for cofffee and cakes

Centralissimo : staff molto cortese. Ottimi dolci

I was at this Nero again yesterday, served by a barista and a new female employee. Excellent service from both. As I sat enjoying my purchases, time and again the staff around me helped out patrons, gave directions and were overall lovely. The best Nero I have been to! 10/10

It's very cute place with tasty drinks. The bartender served very quickly and efficiently. The staff is friendly and caring

Tea and caramel cakes!!! The staff are also extremely friendly and make you feel happy.

Nice coffee and pleasant staff and customers.

This is my favourite cafe to go in the city centre because of the friendly staff and the quality of the drinks/food. Every barista and cashier I have interacted with were all so kind and positive, which always left me with that same energy when I leave to go about the rest of my day. Truly such a wonderful environment.

I come here often and the baristas are always so welcoming, professional and friendly. But today in particular James made me feel at ease when I embarrassingly missed a step on the stair and dropped my coffee all over the floor. Couldn't have asked for a better response and such a delightful individual. I would definitely recommend this café.

Good coffee, quick service what more could you ask for.

Really experienced morning staff with a no nonsense attitude that I treasure. Chain coffee but it's decent and it has AC which is wonderful considering were in the worst heatwave ever. Basement is much quieter.

Miła obsługa. Smaczna kawa i kanapki.

The iced flat white was delicious!! The interior and atmosphere are wonderful as well. The staff was friendly and helped me out when I had trouble with the unfamiliar currency I'll come to this cafe again:)

Awesome milkshake. Would like it cheaper but it was nice.

Exquisito el capuccino, aun siendo una franquicia. Los camareros muy amables.

Nice but the toilets were a mess.

The barista started by telling me that she was short staffed and that I wouldn’t be getting a pot of tea. I explained how horrible tea tastes in a paper cup and had to practically argue with her to get the pot of tea I was paying for. She moaned at everyone who came in that she had no time to wash up. Very unpleasant service. Wasted our visit

Always amazing. Friendly staff, fast service, delicious coffee

Four different drinks , all very good and perfect temperature 👌

Ordered a frappe and had a latte.

Toilets much better than most Nero's

Good coffee as always but honestly the staff at this particular branch so lovely everytime !

Had a Latte and a Pain Aux Raisin. Both excellent quality. The pastries are freshly baked and crisp.

First class coffee and pleasant staff

Went in this morning for a bacon roll and coffee. Staff hilarious and really efficient. I felt very welcome. Great schtuff.

Tasty cake and coffee. But irritates not cleaned tables and full trash cans

Kan je leuk zitten. Goede koffie en lekker wat eten

The coffee is good but the ambience is confusing and not inviting

Usually chill atmosphere. The guy next to me slowly had 4 cakes one after the other. Couldn't stop laughing about it.

The barrister is a DISNEY level of happiness in here. Whoever you are, you made my day!

Good customer service, good coffee
