Ordered from just eat paid for the order then when the order arrived there was a note on the bag to say an item is missing no refund or exchange offered! Another item was missing completely and the 1 item out of 3 I did receive was u der cooked and cold! so I phoned the store and the staff were unhelpful and rude so I’ve wasted £20 on items I never received won’t be returning! Staff need training on how to do their jobs and how not to be rude to paying customers very bad service! If I could give 0 stars I would

I can't comment on the coffee, as the shop was so incredibly hot and stuffy that we had to walk out before we ordered. It wasn't even that hot a day. This place needs fans inside 🥵

I always love going in, and today I took a friend there for the first time. She has a baby and she expressed how lovely the environment and how polite everyone is. Her and I felt very welcomed and the baby was able to be comfortable. I do not know the employees name but it was a lovely girl with tattoos. She was calm, polite, and so so lovely.

This is our favourite place for coffee now. It can sometimes take a while to get served, and again a while for our coffee to be expertly made, but it is well worth the wait. It is a delicious cup of coffee that we both thoroughly enjoy.

I have ordered a magic bag twice from here and have been cancelled twice, which I understand to a certain extent because there might not always have food to spare. However, they only decided to cancel the bag after I had asked for it in the store. They should have cancelled it beforehand, and after I left, I could hear them chuckling about it. Extremely bad customer service

Ordered my cappacino, sat down and stayed for a while. Very relaxed atmosphere. Staff always pleasant, polite and very helpful. After ordering the Assistant asked if I wanted her/him to take it to my table for me as he/she noticed I had a walking stick. This offer I gladly accepted as I did still want a full mug of coffee by the time I sat down, and not spill it whilst I carried the tray with my dodgy mobility! So a big plus for this! Lovely cappicino too! Visit very often as always feel welcome. 💋💋 xx

From the outside this Nero looks small but once inside it opens right up to the back into a large seating area. Not too busy and a very relaxed feel, serving the normal drinks you find at Nero. But with a few new items on the food menu 👍. Worth stopping in for a coffee.

I would say for coffee, nero is a lot better than starbuck which is just meters away. we had a machiato and hot chocolate. both were nice and smooth. The atmosphere is relaxed yet you can easily work and be productive, depending on where you sit (sofas or chair and table). i am a lover of tiffin with my coffee, sadly, they dont serve that here. Also, the store might need renovation as the wallpaper is starting to peel away from the wall...

This is the only Nero I've ever been in where I was satisfied with the look of the drinks but the manager insisted in remaking them because she wasn't happy with the way they looked.

The most unprofessional environment I’ve ever been in. The staff was clearly untrained and ill equipped to serve and handle customers, which really isn’t surprising considering they all looked 15. The bar looked a mess and the prices were unreasonable for the service provided. If you’re out and desperate for a drink and don’t mind being treated like a burden then go on and visit but if you’re like me and you’re looking for a warm cozy pub with reasonable prices then don’t come here!

Super pub in the backstreets of Colchester and a short walk from Colchester Town station. There was a selection of ales for us, but sadly no Hophead, which I thought was served. Also, very welcome was not having to ask for a top up as full pints were served. The food was excellent. The music was unobtrusive.
