The best cappuccinos and pastries are usually made at this branch. The team can’t do enough for you , no matter how busy they are. The place is spotless, always a pleasure to be here. Thank you team!

Caffe Nero Friday 8 November 24 was still serving probably when it shouldnt have been. The Hot Chocolate I chose was the Millionaire and cost nearly £5 served in the paper cup because there were no regular indoor cups left. This was fine because there were no seats left. Now I happen to normally watch Barrista's whilst making my drinks. I like to receive an order that is commensurate with what I pay for. On this occasion I was asked if I wanted the cream. I would not have ordered the Millionaire drink if I hadnt wanted the decadent taste of chocolate cream or the toppings clearly on display. It appears I got neither. I do offer allowances, in this case paper cup and cap. So I didnt notice anything out of the ordinary until we had left the shop expecting what I had paid for when I was extremely disappointed. The Hot Chocolate was tepid. Not even warm. It clearly did not have the Millionaire factor. Far from it. I paid nearly £5 for a drink that I was extremely unhappy about. Unluckily for me Im Disabled and could not have returned as I was in extreme pain. Would I chance going to Caffe Nero again. Dont unless you watch them like a hawk and taste the beverage before leaving the store and taking them to task if there is a problem with your order They only received two stars as my DH stated his Latte was fine, but the other Barrista made that one

Popped in for a quiet coffee. The girl behind the counter clearly couldn't raise a smile or similar. When I was served my coffee in a take out cup, I queried if I could have it in a proper cup as plenty were. She stated they couldn't serve in normal cups at the moment although she hadn't mentioned that when ordering. The customer behind me was then served by another staff member in a normal cup??

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".

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

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

Not the best thing to say in front of customers. Fortunately it just made us laugh...

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.

Worst coffee I have had there, cream with Americano was off. Always go to Nero in the York centre as first choice of coffee bar. Door keeps opening as people outside walk by so very cold and windy, not a relaxing place to have coffee. You have to clean tables and chairs yourself, so it must be understaffed.
