The staff are inconsistent here, I'm sick of getting to work with half a cup of froth. It costs £4.50 a drink here roughly and half of it is air. There are some staff who make the drinks properly though. Probably because it's busy and they aren't putting the effort into each drink and just trying to get the queue down during the morning rush

Dealt with an extremely rude and abusive manager who shouted at me in the middle of the establishment, humiliating me in front of customers when I did nothing to do deserve such treatment. I ordered a drink and sat at a table shortly before I had to run to the loo. I informed a staff at bar (who turned out to be the manager) that I had to visit the restroom and asked that my table not be cleared (which had my full cup of tea and a box of cakes I had bought elsewhere). I went ahead to the toilet to return to an empty table. I asked the same staff if my stuff was kept aside. She appeared pissed and proceeded to walk out of her counter to approach a male staff about the table he cleared. The staff had informed her that my box of cakes were in the bin and she looked at them and asked that he took them out for me to hand them to me. I was appalled that she was thought it was okay for me to be handed back food that had been in the bin. I asked her if she thought it was okay for me to be eating cake from the bin. She then raised her hands up and shouted at me in front of many customers, saying "What? Do you expect me to go get you a cake?" Not only was she not empathetic towards the situation, she was incredibly arrogant and aggressive. I was so shocked by her behaviour that I had to ask her to calm down before she further lashed out at me saying "Am I supposed to stand there at your table to watch your drink?" and "Do you see that the queue of customers?". She did all these while a queue of customers watched on. By this time, I was completely in shock at her abusive behaviour and approached the male staff instead, asking if I could speak with the manager. He told me she was the manager and that the (lovely and polite) staff who had served me initially had gone home, so having no other choice, I waited for the queue to get settled before I approached the manager, explaining to her that I do not appreciate being shouted at. I had recorded the exchange to protect myself from any further abuse by her and informed her so. She was extremely hostile and threatened me with the police. I very gently informed her that she was free to call the police if she wished, before I went on to explain the situation. She interrupted me throughout as I explained that I did not expect her to watch my table as she had taunted me for, but that I had only asked that my table not be cleared as I needed to visit the toilet. Beyond the lack of basic courtesy in letting me finishing talking, she also sarcastically asked me if "we were having a dialogue or if I was talking to myself". She then went on to taunt me about how "I wasn't allowed to bring my own food", accusing me of consuming outside food that I clearly had not. My cakes were in a box, never opened, let alone consumed in the cafe. I had to repeat three times that I didn't want to stay in the store and that I just want to be compensated for my loss and wanted to leave. She wanted to know what cake I had brought in and I told her I had a carrot cake and two brownies in the box. She was not convinced and thought I was lying, and humiliated me further by wanting to pull it out the bin to look at its contents, to which I said she could go ahead and check for herself. She confirmed I indeed had what I said I had in the box before she asked if I was okay having a carrot cake and two brownies, but changed her mind and said she would call her area manager. After waiting awhile, she came back offering me 1 cake, 1 takeaway drink, and 1 fully-stamped card. For a manager, she lacks professionalism, has failed in her conduct, and is not fit to be operating as one. Being non-empathetic towards the situation is one thing, but being arrogant and abusive is a whole other. Completely disgusting!

Caffè Nero's coffee is pretty good - it's got a nice taste and the quality is usually up to par. But, the pastries can be a bit hit or miss in terms of freshness. As for the staff, they're mostly okay, but there's one female who doesn't come off as very friendly, which can be a bit off-putting.

This is a lovely spot for sitting and reading, working or just enjoying coffee. In the middle of the city but feels tucked away. I didn't particularly enjoy the caramel latte I was served but I think that's just preference, I should have gone with my usual coffee... turns out I don't like syrupy additions.

Pretty much all of my Caffè Nero reviews involve me complaining about everything, this particular location is the exception. The staff are amazing, friendly, accommodating and recommend some great tweaks to menu drinks (the Mango & Passion Fruit Fruit Booster but with cream so it's like a liquid Solero is genius), the ambience is nice, it's clean (a rarity for Nero in Leeds) and is just a generally nice place to be. Thanks!

A hint of racism by new staffs? This is a great cafe nero but the new staffs here need training on professional behaviours in F&B businesses. I was waiting at the till to be served after the previous customer left. The barista saw me, we had eye contact, and then ignored me while playing her phone for a good few seconds as I stood opposite her at the till. I waited until she took my order and meanwhile, she was talking to another customer being served by another staff the entire time. Customers are keeping your business alive, please don ignore them. I wonder if there is a hint of racism because I was the only Asian there and being treated in this manner. This happened on the 23rd of Nov 2022, afternoon. This staff was working next to another gentleman on her left. Cafe Nero, there is cameras at the till if u need visual evidence.

I like this coffee chain, and it was many membership discounts and vouchers to make a bit more affordable the quite expensive coffees.

I would nt give any . One star only for the cake looking good on display. My son in hospital for few days. I was very tired. Hoped for a coffee and cake. Went in all the way with a mask on right into the queue until was my turn.at that point, took my mask off as I was ordering, and rude lady behind the till says until I dont sit down with my food I have to leave my mask on. Now I ordered ready to pay and sit .this was not table service. I thought what difference does it make in a fraction of a second I'm breathing In the same way in the shop,and not any different to when I order and to have the actual food in my hand and sit. I looked around the cafe and no one had a mask on . Were they breathing any different? Were they breathing from till point to sitting down . The staff I felt pick and choose who to bully on. Scientifically there is no evidence that a mask sheilds and protects. It can can have an effect. What rude person. I rejected and left cafe Nero, an not being insulted and paying . Im exempt anyway due to my health anyway. But still i make effort to do on my behalf. Take my money elsewhere. Wont be going there again.

The girl behind the counter was terrible. Firstly, she asked me to put a face mask on, once I told her I am exempt she asked me to provide some kind of “exemption card”. I told her you should read the gov guidance before asking for some kind of exemption. Secondly, , she said that “I don’t look like I have a disability”. I provided her with the gov guidance on face coverings to read it. She asked me directly “do you have a disability then?!” People like her shouldn’t work at places like this. The humiliation was terrible!!!! Staff is not fully trained in terms of COVID-19 guidance especially when dealing with disabled customers. I won’t be visiting this place anymore!

It depends on the person who makes your coffee. The food tastes bland. I drank raspberry lemonade and it had no flavor whatsoever. If you want raspberry lemonade, buy a liter from aldi, it's better. The only drink I actually like is the passionfruit and mango one.

It's a lovely little shop, with kind and helpful staff. I went a few days ago for a TGTG bag, which always has a good variety of food in it. Whilst there picking up the bag, me and my partner treated ourselves to a nice drink each. I had the Maple Hazel latte and my partner had a salted caramel frappe. My latte was very nice until you got to the bottom, which was very bitty. I assume it's the flakes added to the foam. Apart from that it was very nice. My partner complained that their drink also tasted bitty, however I couldn't tell. I've visited here a few times and will likely continue to keep returning :)
