I popped into Cafe Nero to while away some time over a coffee whilst reading. The welcome was very courteous and the service was excellent. So much so that the barista had the foresight to call after me in leaving to pass my book mark back to me which I had inadvertently left. This act of generosity was greatly appreciated and showed a care for customers which is not always apparent. A very grateful customer.

Just been to Nero Formby, where it's freezing because "management insists on the door being left open." We ended up sitting at the back away from the door, so no watching the world go by - which is half of the reason for going. Feeling sorry for ourselves, we turned an unusually critical eye to our surroundings, finding them very shabby and unwelcoming. Won't be going again, which is sad because the food and drinks were good.

Poor service ..I had a bad day and decided to have my £1 coffee (three+ app) today instead of Friday …my app wouldn’t open however I had taken a screenshot of my code to save time ….Mr jobsworth would not take the screenshot and I couldn’t get my flat white …I tried to explain that my code would work but common sense would not prevail as he was hiding behind the “it’s not me story “ I needed up going to COSTA over the road which is much nicer coffee and not BITTER like cafe Nero and its staff …please avoid if you can

Needs a good refurb as looking very tired. Bloke on till didn't bother to ask me to scan my loyalty app on my phone, and then appologised by giving me a stamped loyalty card instead, second consecutive time this guy has done this and both times too busy chatting with his colleagues.

I wish they would follow the Nero practice of putting the coffee straight on top of the hot water instead of via a glass for an americano.

The condition of this particular Caffè Nero store has become noticeably worn over time, prompting the consideration for a timely and much-needed update to its interior and facilities. As patrons, we hold an expectation for establishments to maintain a certain level of aesthetic appeal and functionality, and it is evident that this establishment is currently falling short in meeting those standards. Furthermore, the customer experience was further impacted by the demeanor of a member of the staff on duty during my visit. Regrettably, the individual in question appeared to be in a state of evident unhappiness, which was reflected in their interactions with customers. Their disposition, characterized by a discernible sense of grumpiness, inadvertently cast a shadow over the entire visit, diminishing the otherwise enjoyable aspects that Caffè Nero typically offers. It is worth highlighting that the success of any establishment rests not only on the quality of its products and services but also on the demeanor of its staff and the ambiance it provides. By addressing both the physical state of the store and the demeanor of its employees, Caffè Nero can ensure that its patrons consistently enjoy a positive and pleasant experience, thus bolstering its reputation as a desirable destination for coffee enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

Got to be the worst coffee shop o have been in. Scruffy decor, dark lighting possibly to stop you seeing the dirty floor as it looked like hasn’t seen a mop in months, and the toilet not only stunk of wee but the floor was covered in water (but could possibly have been urine) The 2 staff where totally overwhelmed with customers with no time to clean tables so lot of dirty items on tables Definitely one to avoid!

Cafe Nero is always my favourite high street coffee house. Unfortunately at this one the Covid 19 compliance left a lot to be desired. Whilst sat opposite the counter it was piecemeal whether folk wore masks as per the instruction, only 1 person in 6 was being asked to put their mask on, glass counter surfaces were being lent on by customers and not wiped down etc - far from ideal iny opinion.

We went there today , 2 female members of staff on duty, countless tables full of dirty dishes, We looked at the ingredients on the tea cake, no candied peel was listed, which we both abhor. we ordered 2 latte's, which took ages to prepare as the 2 members of staff were too busy talking to each other, The coffee was insipid, very watery, not creamy as a latte should be. The toasted tea cake was full of candied peel, which was horrible. Not a satisfying experience, we certainly will not be returning

Last Sunday afternoon we went out for a coffee only to find the coffee shop full of dogs (at least 7or 8) whilst I like dogs myself I do think they should not be allowed in places that serve food and drink. Other than that the coffee is very good and the staff also are very friendly.

called in after a wet and windy walk around the woods, I do enjoy the nero coffee, it's stronger and has more depth the visit, and this is seeming like a common theme when I review places was ruined by dogs. Why are animals that have obviously been running around either the beach or the pine woods be allowed, it honestly drives me mad, it is like every cafe, everywhere now allows dogs because they think that the owners won't come in and spend their money otherwise, and my opinion, whether you like it or not is that it shouldn't be allowed

Go in Nero regularly. Nat and Annie are lovely and are always pleasant and make good coffee. One of the servers is awful, I think she has come as a stand in from another shop. she talks all the time and doesn't listen to what the customer wants. The place is always dirty now that dogs are allowed in. I have seen dogs licking tables, trays, sitting on chairs on customer's knees, they sniff and lick around the stand where popcorn and crisps are and the fridge. it is madness that they are allowed in at all. It is unhygienic and makes the place smell. plus the noise when they start barking is unacceptable when you are paying to have a quiet coffee. Get the dogs out, there is no need for them to be inside at all. Toilets are also dirty and unhygienic, they need to be completely overhauled. floors are always wet from either a leaking loo, or urine, hand dryers are dirty and they smell. Nero must make enough for a revamp of this deteriorating shop.

Went in yesterday for a coffee, just two comments. The Sicilian lemon cheesecake has been changed (in other Neros too) to a cheaper quality synthetic one so no more for me, and the staff weren't the enthusiastic ones in other reviews. Teach them to smile and apply exceptional customer service please. Let's raise the standards in our cafes especially where they charge £2.90 for a coffee.

This used to be a good bar but is now just a high priced dog compound. 9 dogs in this very small bar. Wouldn't order food given the smell of dogs and lack of washing of hands by bar staff after feeding treats to the dog. Don't bother, there are better alternatives in Formby.
