Caffe Nero in Ballymena

It's always a good spot for a caffeine fix. Friendly staff and quick service.

It's a great wee place in the sun. Staff are very friendly

Most staff is friendly the coffee is good especially the white chocolate mocha is our favourite with cream on top🤤

Excellent. Place I was starving. So. They saved the. Day For. Me really

Lovely wee coffee shop. Great selection of coffees & cakes with comfy seating both indoors & outdoors.

Great spot for a Saturday morning coffee, pleasant surrounds and great coffee.

It says online that your are pet friendly I was it Ballymena today and had taking my dog in we place or order and the staff saw my dog they took or oder witch we pay for we just had sat down when a member of staff came over and told us no dogs allowed this is totally disgraceful so off today you have lost six customer and anyone else I know I will be telling them not happy

Kate made me a very nice Cappuccino; perfect temperature. Kate was very friendly and helpful and she answered all of my questions thoughtfully. Kate is a great asset to Cafe Nero in Ballymena! Thanks Kate!

Love this store.. excellent customer service .. love Diane and Luke!! Nothing is ever too much to ask of them... just how it should be

This is the cleanest and freshest Nero's I've ever been in and I've been in a few. The coffee is also the best as is the food options. Others I've been in especially around North Down have been badly stocked, always dirty and the furniture tired. This is a very different experience all together! *RECOMMENDED

Best croissants, coffee and service in town.

The best Cappuccinos I enjoyed great service & friendly staff 👍

Great place to go for a coffee.

Neros never disappoints me. Great coffee. Great staff.

All staff so friendly makes it awesome

Could be a bit cleaner. A dingy wee place. Uninviting decor needs sprucing up. Coffee fine.

Best tasting coffee in Ballymena period. There are a few wannabe hipster places in Ballymena that do good food, but their coffee doesn't hit the spot like Neros

Nice and quiet good staff, friendly atmosphere

Efficient and friendly staff. However, as the picture shows some of the seating is badly stained.

Lovely staff, great coffee, always perfectly made

It does what it says.youngbgirl serving very pleasant and though busy was out cleaning tables aswell.

Usual mince pie and cream.tasty coffee. Tables needed cleaned. Very busy.

Lovely trip to cafe Nero, it was busy but the queue moved quickly and it was lovely to enjoy a Christmas treat

Best coffee in town. Great spot to people watch. Always a must when in town

Great place to sit and watch the world go by. Friendly staff nice selection of coffees have to go there for my daily fix one of best coffee cafes in ballymena

Best coffee in town of Ballymena. Nice service. Love quiet jazz music. Nice place to sit down and relax and watch people rushing on street. Tee and cake also nice. Toilet available for customers on back of shop.

Good coffee, reasonably priced and friendly staff

Flat white wasn’t brand standard, also the latte was too frothy, but good service from staff

Friendly staff and pleasant surroundings😄

Amazing service and the best mince pies ever

Service is great, coffee great just not much atmosphere in the Caffe. Customers served with no masks.

Nice coffee great staff but air conditioning makes the place so cold and your coffee cools down quickly, music is dreadful

This is probley my favourite place in Ballymena to grab a coffee at I just think their coffee is nicer than Starbucks and Costa

Good coffee and friendly service

Beautiful food. Brilliant service. Everybody very friendly.

My early morning treat......Great service....

Very relieved to get sitting in a coffee shop again

Coffee is brilliant. Very friendly staff. Good prices. Plenty of room to social distance.

My regular spot for a coffee, great wee team of staff in the heart of Ballymena can't wait until lockdown ends until we can go for a social coffee again!

Coffee very weak and flavourless.

Best coffee and service in town

Nice outdoor area, good restrictions in place

Good place, you can sit outside and have a smoke

Great coffee always. Friendly staff too

Staff efficient and friendly and great coffee to take away

Been enjoying Nero for years now, especially fond of their sugar free caramel lattes! P.S. bring back the red velvet cake! 😋

Well situated so can be very busy at times. Good quality coffee and has a loyalty card so can get free cuppa.

have been going to neros in ballymena for a number of years it has the best coffee away ahead of all its rivals has the best staff they always have the warmest of welcomes and serve you with a smile top scores all round.

Staff that know you so well, they can take the mickey out of you.

No dogs allowed asked to leave after food had been served.

My favourite coffee shop in Ballymena. Fast friendly service. Best Capachino in town. Lovely ambiance, nice relaxing music.

Lovely friendly staff... Awful coffee 😣

Great coffee, great Apricot croissants, pleasant and efficient service.

Good drinks and sweets, with comfortable seating inside and out

Nice coffee&muffin but way to expensive

Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff excellent coffee! Try their lemon muffins!!!

Great coffee shop with a great location and brilliant staff. There is always a nice selection of sandwiches and cakes etc., with excellent wi-fi

my favourite coffee shop. great friendly staff and well located at the entrance to the Fairhill Shopping Centre

Personally I belive it's the best coffee ive ever tasted and i have had a trip to italy. The staff are friendly and well trained. I hope to enjoy a lot more cups. Well done Nero.

Excellent coffee and even better customer service

Love their coffee and their service

Fast and efficient staff. Bright and clean cafe. Lovely coffees and nice variety of cakes and small bites. Very popular and everyone in Ballymena loves it.

When staffed by the regulars this place is 2nd to none, however, when the younger staff are in the service has been known to slip. Put it like this, I always hope I get the more experienced staff whenever I visit.

Nice little cafe that can be quite busy at peak times.

Friendly service and great atmosphere

High quality coffee destination

Lovely coffee but sadly interior changed its not as cosy anymore.

Fantastic best one in N. Ireland

we have been going to neros for years..sometimes i don't know why we bother as the staff are not friendly..once again it is who you are and whether they feel in the mood to speak.the last 2 visits were not all that pleasant..the 1st one the manageress was clearing tables but we were completely blanked by her and the last one a female member of staff who usually would speak actually turned her head the other way and yet went to another customer and brought her what she required. i really was a bit fed up with the attitude of the staff and we left earlier than we usually would. i really do think that it is in the interest of staff to speak to EVERYONE and that ALL customers be treated the same. definitely staff meetings should be called and this brought up and addressed

Nice friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere.

I'm a regular I'm here the best coffee in town, my kids love to come for mint milkshakes chocolate coins and gingerbread men. Looking forward to their new store update soon

Cortado...delicious for coffee lovers

Was there three times during our trip .. very pleasant staff excellent choices of baked goods.. very good at special coffees ..

Good coffee as always unfortunately feels a little run down on the interior

This Nero was open during the 12th July celebrations and I went in to get a couple of hot drinks. The staff were not very welcoming at all, they had this poor attitude when serving like they didn't want to be there. This attitude was clear when the drinks weren't up to Nero standards. Very disappointed.

One of my favourite cafes in Ballymena. Deserves an excellent rating because of the outstanding friendliness of the staff.

This is one of the best places in Ballymena to get a smoothie.

Situated at the corner of fairhill centre . Ideal place to sit at window and people watch . Coffee good and the regular choice of snacks that Neros provides. Not too large inside which is very nice . Can be cold on a winters day as door opens directly onto the street.

I was in for the first time two days ago and popped in yesterday and even though she'd only served me once the waitress remembered my order! Excellent service!

Facing stiff competition from the ever growing plethora of coffee houses this stalwart has improved. Staff far more attentive and the coffee, as always, is excellent.

Somewhat of an improvement of late. Maybe I'm influenced by the new wall hangings but the always friendly staff make the visit pleasant.
