One of the better Caffé Nero's in York. Decent coffee, friendly team. Often is too busy.

Our last visit to this dump. Its dirty, understaffed (long queues), dirty pots everywhere not cleared (you have to move them away) and today the toilet was dirty and had no toilet paper. The sheet said the lady toilet check was Tuesday 14 May today is 16th on my visit . Often get paper cups and cake put in cardboard box. Today was the final straw!!

After lunch drinks stop while out and about. Ordered on the app, but still not ready by the estimated time. But not a problem, as at least we knew they were freshly made. Very good coffee, and a nice location accessible via an external door, and internal one through Next!

Only Cafe Nero I've been in that's not Dog friendly. Travel all over UK and never been refused until now. Staff say that's because it's in a Next store and it's a Next rule. They watched me walk in, take my coat off and when I got to till told me " No Dogs". Maybe a sign in window would help? Will try others in York to see if this is a "York thing".

Went in at 4.10pm to change my babies nappy and get a to go drink. They close at 4.30 but had already shut the toilets and wouldn’t unlock for a quick nappy change. Never known anywhere close their toilets so early and refuse for a child.

We have been visiting this particular branch for many years with our lovely cockapoo Betsy. But today, we were refused entry by a very official young lady, saying dogs are not allowed. I said to her but we've always been coming here with Betsy, but she just reiterated that dogs are not allowed and asked us to leave. We were so disappointed as we had been travelling for several hours and were so looking forward to a lovely coffee. We have never witnessed any incidents with dogs in any of the Nero branches, just very rude customers at times. People and staff have always made a fuss of Betsy so just can't understand what s changed. Won't be visiting there again or the Next branch.

Mixed.On a click and collect I was told there was no coffee to collect and that I didn't understand the app? A team lead then called me back saying that they had the order after all. I complained that I had been patronised by a junior member of the staff but the team lead gave me the drinks and ignored my complaint. Poor customer service but usually no problems , I used to visit here every lunchtime but have started now using next door M&S, always top drawer.Staffing is poor. New staff again, dishwasher broken - everything served in takeaway cups

Today we were greeted by Charlotte who was very happy in her work and friendly. She helped us figure out where to find a promo cake offer on the app. Charlotte also loves to sing! We enjoyed listening to her wide repatoire. It's so lovely to see someone so happy in their work.

Please please sort this cafe out. I come here after work often as it’s one of the only places still open and I don’t know if this is why my coffees are always bad (being closing time soon) but I do notice there are often trainees working here. Which is fine but coffees are very expensive and should be made properly… I have a signature drink that I always get at cafe neros but here it always tastes meh. I’ve lately been getting iced coffees and they always seem to be made lazily. The one I’m drinking down had 5 small ice cubes in it which melted very quickly leaving a slightly cooler than room temperature drink. :( I love cafe nero but this one doesn’t meet the standard of others

Have been using this Cafe Nero regularly for a long time but it has deteriorated recently in service and cleanliness. The coffee is quite good but some of the staff are so rude and condescending, they make you feel like you are a inconvenience making them do some work. One girl in particular with blue hair actually barks orders at customers. There are plenty of other options close by M & S, Costa, Starbucks. I will definitely be buying my coffee elsewhere.

I often frequent Caffè Nero in either Coppergate or Kings Square in York centre and always have a good coffee, food and friendly service Sadly this Caffè Nero stuck inside a Next is one of the worst I’ve been to. Some of the staff are positively surly, none of them appear to want to work here. I’ve been ignored whilst they are carrying on a conversation between themselves. The cafe is often in need of a clean, even more important in these Covid times. I’ve given it several chances, as I am often in this area, but can honestly say I won’t use this Caffè Nero again. Head into town for a great Caffè Nero experience at any of the York centre cafes.

This Cafe Nero branch is unusual as it is situated at the front of the Next clothing store. As such, it feels a bit of an “add-on” as opposed to a proper cafe, if you get my meaning, and doesn’t have the cosy ambience I normally associate with the Cafe Nero chain. Having said that, it is handy to have a Cafe Nero in an area that is otherwise rather short on alternatives. Service has invariably been good when we have visited and we will certainly continue to use this “branch” when we come to Vanguard.
