Went in for a takeaway coffee and the staff were extremely rude.

Unwilling to try making any coffees off the menu. Won't steam a drink that's 50% cream 50% milk as it might "break their coffee machine". 😂😂😂 So every coffee machine in East Europe would be broken. Closed minded and rude to our group as well. Low skill baristas working like robots to a menu. Expect nothing less from a cafe Nero chain.

Yes, it’s a chain and Cardiff has some cracking indie coffee options. However, the various Caffè Nero branches in Cardiff are consistently high end. The coffee is decent and having sat in the Trinity Street location for half hour has proven a relaxing experience, even in the heart of a city centre. The barista here clearly knows the regulars in terms of life details and drink preferences, with the place also being clean and efficient, yet really chilled with instrumental music playing and several of us spending some time reading and slowly drinking in addition to the takeaway customers. Credit where it’s due - this is a nice place to sip and chill.

Probably the rudest, most passive aggressive barista I've ever met. Name is Damien, be prepared to be insulted as being served coffee.

We visited this Caffè Nero branch for the first time in a few years and were very pleased with the service and drinks we received on our visit. We visited on a weekday morning and there were plenty of seats available at this time and no queue at the till, although it did pick up a bit while we were enjoying our drinks. We had our usual decaf cappuccino and luxury hot chocolate and were very pleased with the usual Caffè Nero standard.

The settees were torn and really worn. The coffee was very expensive and, in my opinion, doesn't taste better than some cheaper coffee shops. I hadn't visited Caffe Nero in a few years and had fond memories of it. Maybe it's just because the coffees I got there used to be free and were worth the price. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nero Coffee is an absolute gem in the heart of the city! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The décor is modern yet cozy, creating a perfect environment for both relaxation and productivity. Whether you're here to catch up with friends or get some work done, Nero Coffee provides the ideal setting. The coffee here is simply exceptional. Every cup is brewed to perfection, with a rich aroma and a full-bodied flavor that stands out from other cafes. Their espresso is top-notch, and I highly recommend trying their signature lattes – they're both creative and delicious. The baristas clearly have a passion for their craft, and it shows in every sip. But Nero Coffee isn’t just about great coffee. Their selection of pastries and light bites is equally impressive. I particularly enjoyed the croissants, which were flaky and buttery, and their sandwiches, which are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. There’s something on the menu for everyone, including a variety of options for those with dietary restrictions. What sets Nero Coffee apart is their commitment to customer service. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. They are friendly, attentive, and always ready to offer recommendations if you're unsure of what to try. In addition to all of this, the ambiance is just perfect. The soft background music, comfortable seating, and ample natural light make it a pleasant place to spend time. They have free Wi-Fi, which is a bonus for those who need to work or study. I’ve also noticed that the café is impeccably clean, and the attention to detail in maintaining the space is evident. Overall, Nero Coffee is a fantastic spot that I cannot recommend highly enough. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a great place to unwind, this café ticks all the boxes. I'll definitely be coming back regularly! !

This is absolutely disgusting. The staff are friendly but the coffee machine itself is absolutely vile. Portafilter isn’t rinsed between shots, the group head doesn’t get flushed between shots, and neither the two shot glasses. I thought my coffee tasted funny and then watched a full line of people be served with filthy shot glasses and old coffee grounds visibly stuck on the head and portafilter basket. I think the only thing I saw cleaned was the steam wand. The staff are incredibly friendly, and they’re clearly doing what they can to serve a multitude of people but a rinse is incredibly easy to do as part of a normal workflow

Ordered food through Uber Eats today. An item was missing and my drink was incorrect. The food was cold and congealed and the cake was squashed. Uber Eats won't refund me & tell me to 'rate the restaurant'. The restaurant hasn't contacted me either. I'm disgusted. It was a simple order, and the restaurant couldn't even get it right.

Disgusting experience. Entered through the House of Fraser entrance (there is no door to enter the cafe inside House of Fraser) and went to have a look at what was in the fridge to eat. The young man on the till went out of his way to come over to us looking and said “YOU HAVE TO JOIN THE QUEUE”. We didn’t know what was going on as we weren’t in the queue or trying to queue jump, we were just looking at what food was in the fridge which is located away from the queue and by the main door entrance. He walked away so my partner asked him what do you mean? He said “YOU SHOULD WAIT OUTSIDE. THE SIGN ON THE DOOR SAYS ONLY 3 PEOPLE AT A TIME” gesturing us to go out the main door. By this point, more people had entered the cafe, but only after we were already there looking at what was in the fridge. My partner said that we entered through the House of Fraser entrance and as there’s no door there, there’s no sign. He then said “DONT BE SARCASTIC WITH ME”. We then left without ordering. He made us feel embarrassed for no reason. It is noted that my partner was the only dark skinned person there and he did not make any comments to the people coming in after us who were all white. If there was a 3 person policy then everyone who entered after us should have all been told to leave as well but they weren’t. First time coming here and won’t be coming back. Shameful.

I've always found the service here to be excellent; friendly baristas often going the extra mile in making guests welcome and ensuring best quality fayre. Seating is mixed; cosy chairs and sofas or wooden tables and chairs, but all perfectly comfortable in a surprisingly snug atmosphere (one could almost forget that this is a franchised section of a large department store).
