Caffe Nero in Brighton and Hove

Popped in here very early this morning before my Waitrose shop. The trainee barista made an excellent decaff soya cappuccino and the place had a really chill vibe - not too busy, not too quiet, and relaxing music too.

Perfectly nice coffee and a nice seat at the window. I wonder why the barista kept shouting out an Italian phrase. Over and over. Very strange

Isn't have Aircon, It would be great if they could fix it. We had my son's birthday there. They have hypoallergenic, vegan and gluten free products. It was great to eat their cakes and soft drinks, the coffees Delicious, the staff may have mistakes, nobody is perfect, but their kindness is innate.

Great coffee shop to stay and be productive working with my laptop. The vibe is excellent

I ordered flat white Coffee but not made from whole milk?! Anyway little Coffee inside flat Whit! Can not feelig Coffee, just drinking milk! Is that flat White Coffee?

Coffee shop without enough ice for a second cold drink, tables not cleaned

Very bad attitude. I was choosing my coffee from the menu, the waitress (with curly hair & glasses) was very impatient, didn’t like having to wait, just looked at me with her arms crossed, very rude. When I finally made my order, she even made faces & when I was sitting down enjoying my breakfast, she was bad mouthing me with the other staff. Right in my face, sooo unacceptable.. So unlucky to come across this type of horrible attitude (without me doing anything wrong) on a nice sunny Saturday morning. Super bad experience. Never experienced something so BAD…

Vine aquí de camino a la estación de tren de Brighton, iba a tomar un café, pero debido al clima caliente decidí tomar una bebida fría, opté por el mango y Passionfruit Fruit Booster ... . . que resultó ser la opción perfecta. Ubicado al final de Western Road, frente al Centro Comercial Churchill Square, este Caffe Nero no es grande, pero es tan adecuado para sentarse, aunque el Caffe Nero más abajo, en el lado opuesto de Western Road es un poco más grande ya que tienen más asientos al aire libre. Encontré el servicio aquí como debería ser, por lo que no puedo entender la negativa dada en críticas anteriores sobre aquí.

One of the better Neros I know, always has a buzz to it and busy but in a nice way. When I get to Brighton I would always prefer an Indy coffee shop but this place would be the exception thanks to its location. Btw never enough vegan savoury items but that's Neros not this branch fault

Probably the best nero in Brighton in terms of seating size etc

This Nero Coffee branch was a disappointment, to say the least. As a frequent visitor to Nero Coffee outlets due to their dog-friendly policy, I was taken aback by the poor standards here. The service was lacklustre, with the woman behind the counter displaying a noticeable lack of enthusiasm and responding with curt replies. While not outright impolite, her demeanour left much to be desired. The bathroom was also in a sorry state, with the floor flooded—whether with water or something else, I couldn't tell. As for the coffee, it was downright repulsive. I had to add sugar just to make it palatable. Overall, a highly unpleasant experience that I wouldn't wish to repeat.

Very poor management and always long time queueing since they just work 2 behind the bar. Previous management was way better.

Like most Neros, open early on Sunday, coffee is good, sofas need replacing.

This is A GREAT Cafe Neros....( Compared to The Female with A Wolf on her Shoulders..Who Works in the George Street, Hove , Cafe Neros!!! 🤐! ) A Complaint was put in Regarding her Non People Skills!!! Etc and Am Still to get very Far With IT!.....However, I praise Good Service In Any Business...And Complaint Regarding People who Are Rude, Shell Fish and Perhaps should Consider Looking for Some Other Type of Work...!!! 👍 Anyway, In this Western Road, Brighton I have Always Had A Good Experience..even when the Staff are Clearly Under Pressure Etc .... As he was with being on his Own and About 8 to 10 people waiting in A Queue! Well Done to Him....😁 Thank you all There Patrick

Customer toilets not avaliable, nor was the option to have hot food, tables dirty and full of dirty crockery. Vegetable roll disappointing.

Beautiful place, excellent coffee and lovely atmosphere

Very friendly staff with a smile. Very relaxed atmosphere nicer than most London branches

A decent coffee shop on western road

Usual Nero, but with only 2 staff on at time, the queue was long and slow. Most tables as a consequence hadn't been cleared or cleaned.

Nice and easy to use with lots of space and area inside and outside for seating. Next to the road where buses are and a good selection of things to have here.

Nice location and quick serving times in here with standard stuff to have here, been a few times in the past. Can be busy at certain times in the day though.

Met here a few times, will come back again soon

Very poor hygiene serving tray greasy. Tea spoon was dirty and replaced spoon similar. Table not wiped down from previous evening. Our visit was at 9.00 am

Scone so tough could not cut into it

Was referred to as “very annoying” by the manager Alex (brown hair Caucasian male) for simply trying to open a window. Then proceeded to patronise me for not having a drink while doing my work, even though I have been a regular customer for the past few months. Looked up and saw him gossiping about me with another coworker who laughed and then quickly looked away.

Cake was absolutely delicious. The coffee was great. The guy who served me was lovely and very helpful. Unfortunately his colleague was more interested in chatting with his friends than serving, even though the queue was quite long. The floors were absolutely filthy, covered in crumbs and rubbish. Which is a shame because seriously, the cakes are amazing!

Popped in for a coffee, which was quite pleasant. To few staff for the amount of customers. The place is absolutely filthy, no tables have been wiped down and the floor is strewn with rubbish. I won't be repeating the experience.

Good coffee. But not very clean.

Comfortable and friendly customer service.

I had a lovely focaccia and smoothie and the staff was really lovely however most tables were full of dirty cups and mess, but I could see that the only 2 staff were busy making coffees so it seems as if they really need another staff to work, especially on a Saturday! The managers should recognise that 2 staff alone is not enough for the cafe to work properly!

Welcoming staff. The Preston St /Western Rd branch is flooded with natural light and furnished with comfortable seating. The single origin coffee is worth the 30p surcharge. At opening time, 7am M-F 7.30am Sat & 8.00pm Sun, we are greeted with classical music and smile (usually).

A good place for a coffee and relax

Gosh male barista made really awful coffee. See what I got for a flat white!!

Nice cozy place with good ambience.

I WAS THERE AT 1115AM. SATURDAY 10TH JUNE. ORDERED TEA AND CINNAMON DANISH. HAS TO CHANGE TO MY ORDER TO CUSTARD DANISH. I HAVE BEEN SERVED BY FOREIGNER BOY MIDIUM TAN, 6FT TALL, VERY SHORT HAIR. HIS ATTITUDE IS OBNOXIOUS TO BE SERVED CUSTOMERS BEHIND THE COUNTER. I REGRET THAT I DID NOT WALK AWAY WHILE HE IS DOING MY BREAKFAST TEA.

El lugar lo recomiendo y volvería otra vez si es necesario. Yo fuí un día muy temprano en la mañana. Caffé Nero pone música clásica e instrumental de fondo, lo que te hace empezar el día en un ambiente en donde te sientes tranquilo y relajado. También tienen espacio suficiente para que te sientes con mucha comodidad, ya sea en un sofá o una silla. El personal super atento y agradable. Precios muy asequibles.

Excellent food compared to other cafes in the area, drink was made hot instead of ice but quickly resolved thought still warm upon delivery, staff are eager to help and friendly, seasonal pistachio latte was delicious.

The staff is very nice and too busy. Always professional and very helpful.

You can pretty much bank on Nero's. Great coffee and food is good too

Popped into western road branch for a coffee, a small chalkboard on the counter tells me the dishwasher is broken and paper cups only are available, however this was a painted sign so I assume the washer is permanently broken. Can’t comment on the quality of the coffee because it was spoiled by the taste of paper cup but I can comment on the cleanliness, which was very poor. Tables littered with cups as was the floor and the windowsill, the tables themselves were sticky and were not being wiped down between customers. On the whole a very disappointing experience.

Staff always very friendly and efficient.

Staff can’t make vegan drinks. 9 out of 10 times my cups are half empty, because half of them are froth. Never order large, as it will fit into medium cup. Money down the drain with this branch, please teach them better!

Walked 20m to get there at 13:35 on a Saturday to see a sign on the door to say they are closing early at 2pm. However, they were instead cleaning up and not taking any new orders. Not impressed! A 40m round trip pushing a double buggy with no drink to show for it

Shocking service from staff member today.....tables full of dirty cups and they couldn't serve coffee in proper cups as nothing was cleaned....worst Caffe Nero I've ever been into....won't be retuning,plenty of much better coffee shops ...

Had mocha twice, unfortunately both times tasted awful. Not sure is staff needs retraining or it's Nero's style but won't be buying there again.

Such a shame, the workers are usually excellent and so friendly but the new male staff member seems to have found a way to make coffee hostile. He isn’t necessarily rude but his disposition towards me and other members of staff makes such an uncomfortable energy. Very tense environment whenever he’s is in, sly remarks, odd faces, complaining loud enough for customers to hear, patronising other staff, etc. Switching to Small Batch.

מיקום מרכזי, מקומות ישיבה נוחים, נקי, שירות יעיל.

My fav coffee place. Love the foccaicia 😊

My experience has always been a pleasant and positive one. I must also that the Staff have always been cheerful and courteous, I drink Tea, and have always had a decent cuppa/mug. I personaly like the place.

A good place for reading and salted caramel latte is fine but if you are looking for an almond croissant you should try The Flour Pot Bakery - First Avenue

Great place for coffee and food , very relaxing place

Great local branch getting even beter

Good service, decent coffee, great location

Didn't like this place at all coffee mediocre

Friendly staff, great drinks, perfect place to catch up with friends.

Im a frequent client and I enjoy the coffee they make, but unfortunately the level of cleanliness is low, empty cup and dishes every where on the tables, leftover bread and tissues as well and some on the floor! Most of the time I have to clean it by my self and stuff doesn’t bother! Rather than that every things is fine.

Efficient service with standard Caffe Nero quality.

Great coffee shop ,lovely service ,served by wonderful polite people .pleasure to go in there .Seated by the window to watch the great people of Brighton walking by ...love the service ,latte was hot and full of flavour. THANKYOU .xx trace .

Toilet was disgusting! If my husband had not already bought the coffee I wouldn't have given them my money.

Friendly service, although steady trade wise. Good levels of seating available: inside/outside. They have a loyalty card scheme, ask for your stamp. My partner used the toilet, pee puddles no hand drying facility.

Jack, Gregory, Ali and another gentleman ( I think he’s the manager) are an amazing team of smiling, kind and friendly people who make really a pleasure to go to their welcoming and warm cafe’, and have my coffee before going to work. Thanks guys and keep it up 🙏🏻 ☕️ 😊 Simo x

I'm not a huge fan of coffee chains. I'd much rather support small business's. However, they are courteous and efficient. I actually only went here as a friend asked me too.

Able to get a vegan sausage roll with ketchup and a drink nice little coffee shop, servers were very polite

The staff here are super friendly :)

Lemon drizzle Cake. No drizzle and was like eating a lump of tasteless rubber. Service with a scowl. Stick to the many lovely independents.

Spacious, calm, lovely place with excellent staff. Prefer this branch anytime over the other ones in Brighton :)

Lovely friendly place. Polite and friendly staff giving great service. Coffee and food are excellent. Will continue to visit.

Christmas ginger bread latte . Nice deco leather arm chairs fitted around friendly polite staff fast services nice's place to chill meet up for a chat or grab and go

مكان جميل وموقع جيد جلسات مريحة

نيرو أشهر من رأس على علم يوازي في قوته هنا في بريطانيا قوة ستاربكس إلا أن نيرو يتفوق ببساطة المكان

Friendly staff and great service. 👍

Great bunch of staff well done everyone

Quick service and ideal location

Great coffee,, great atmosphere

4£ for a caramel frappe without creme and without taste of caramel… I am really disappointed 😔😔😔😔

One of their best restaurants I visited after a long time.

Can’t knock the service this was good. However, the restroom was a big let down, especially as we had a child with us. It was filthy and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in hours! If you are a family with young kids do not come here! Worried about covid? I’d be more worried about the toilet situation!

Great branch of Cafe Nero with lovely staff. Our puppy was made so welcome

Was lovely coffee with good costumer service

All neros now getting bit tired.

Friendly efficient service, great for a quick coffee.

Great place to people watch over a coffee

nice place to relax while having your coffee ☕☕

Best coffee in Brighton. Girls at the tilt and barista are so great, helpful and polite. Always a Nero coffee when I have a chance😏

Fine, nothing yo write home about, nice coffee, and a blueberry muffin.

Lovely experience at this Neros. Delightful attitude from Staff. Hence the photo to say do come visit and see what life is like. Relaxed sitting outside with the Ambience yet again. That word (AMBIENCE) is everything you needed to enjoy coffee at its best.

Nice caffe and fast service not same as Costa waiting one hours to get one caffe hhh.nero is the best

Little expensive but good quality

Had some cappuccino, didn't like that much and half of the cup was empty

Pleasant friendly service, nice coffee pastries

Lovely staff, super efficient and excellent barrista

Have a nice coffee with a pleasant conversation

Great location, nice coffee and good staff specially the Italian gentleman barman with glasses🙂🙂🙂

Friendly staff and good quality coffee

Coffee not great but place is nice.

The staff is always very welcoming and the atmosphere is chill. The coffee is not the best in the area but I don't care.

Good coffee and really nice staff very attentive

Decent generic coffee, but staff paid no attention whatsoever to covid protocols

Was offering dine in etc but first have toilets open- I'm almost certain legally if you offer dine in toilets have to avaliable for customers

Visité hoy para encontrar a 1 joven trabajando sola en el Caffe. Ella estaba haciendo todo lo posible por complacer a todos. Correr tratando de limpiar las mesas después de que los clientes se fueron y tostar paninis, preparar bebidas, etc. Los baños sufrieron por no poder limpiarlos y ser la única en el mostrador. Mala planificación de la gestión si me preguntas. ¡Se han infringido todas las restricciones de seguridad! 10/10 para la joven
