Zu aller erst: der Café ist qualitativ völlig ok und schmeckt. Allerdings ist der Service unfreundlich und man fühlt sich wie in einer typischen Systemgastronomie-Filiale. Die Snacks sind geschmacklich ok, aber man merkt eben, dass diese nicht selbst gemacht sind. Zudem sind die Speisen masslos überteuert. Knapp 5 Pfund für eine winzige Blätterteigtasche mit Gemüse. Dann doch lieber zu kleineren, authentischen Cafes...

Coffee was ok, not mixed properly. Food tasted slightly undercooked/not warmed up enough. Tables left with cups on for ages. Service was bad, the women gave us our food by standing about 6 foot away and stretching out to give it us. Pigeons coming in and out, even pooing on the floor and nothing was done about it, even when staff were told. Not a good place!

Great place to sit and watch Brighton life, inside or out. The only negative is that there is only one toilet, and the queue can be quite long, especially when non customers all come in to use it.

Been coming here for years on & off. Still great coffee and good food selection. As mentioned the furniture is a little dated but that gives this place great character. On this occasion the service was really good. I suspect because he was management covering for the various different staff I see at this establishment.

Went to collect a 'too good to go' bag. Waited 15 minutes before I was even acknowledged to be told (loudly) "I don't have any food for you" like I was a beggar!! I paid for a service and got treated like rubbish. The member of staff (bearded guy with a 'man bun') needs a serious lesson in customer service!

Cafe nero has always been my favorite coffee place, but this particular shop is the best of all !! I came to this place with my hubby this afternoon and I ordered only 1 small coffee for my hubby as I was unfortunately too full after big lunch. The gentleman who prepared and served our coffee was superbly skilled, charming and very kind. We will definitely visit again everytime we come to Brighton!!

Food great as always. Server looked furious with me the whole time I was ordering and while they were making/passing me my order. They also charge 10p for decaf - I've never come across another coffee shop that charges extra for decaf? Most places I can't tell the difference between the regular and decaf coffee but this one had that aftertaste to it that people sometimes talk about with decaf - so seems doubly cheeky to charge for it.

Sıkışmış ara sokakta olduğu gibi kendine münhasır da bir yeri var açıkçası. Türkiye'de de Coffe Nero'yu tercih ediyorum özellikle İstanbul'da olanı. Kaliteli kurumsal firmalardan birisi. Öncelik müşteri memnuniyeti para değil. Personelleri sanki özel seçilmiş gibi kibar ve Kaliteli.

Caffè Nero to sieciówka kawiarni działająca głównie na terenie Wielkiej Brytanii oferującą przede wszystkim kawę podawaną w trzech rozmiarach przyrządzoną na wiele różnych sposobów. Podstawowymi kawami są: espresso macchiato, americano, latte, cappuccino. Ponadto możemy napić się chai  latte, hot chocolate, white chocolate mocha i caramelatte. Oprócz standardowego przepisu, klient może zamówić kawę na mleku o niskiej zawartości tłuszczu, bądź sojowym , a także bezkofeinową , z syropem smakowym lub kremem. Do kawki można spróbować ciasteczek. W ofercie znajdują się również herbaty. Polecam.

Recientemente visitamos, para tomar un bocadillo rápido y beber mientras caminamos por las calles. Claramente interrumpimos a las 3 mujeres groseras del personal, que estaban demasiado ocupadas charlando sobre adónde iban a salir y qué vestían. Después de que me sirvieron, uno le dijo al otro "de todos modos, volvamos a nuestra conversación". Pedí un sándwich que necesitaba ser tostado, ¡obviamente fue un esfuerzo extremo! ¡Me dijeron que me parara y esperara al final! Luego se arrojó en una bolsa de papel, y prácticamente se dobló en el proceso. Cuando volví a mi mesa y saqué la bolsa, me di cuenta de que no estaba cortada. No estoy seguro de cómo iba a comerme una tostada de queso caliente hirviendo, sin al menos cortarla. Volví y pedí cortésmente que lo cortaran. El comentario que recibí fue "bueno, tendré que ponerme guantes para hacer eso". Ok, lo siento si eso fue difícil. Escuché que el personal también era extremadamente grosero con otros clientes. Mientras comíamos, uno de los miembros del personal vino barriendo. También barriendo alrededor, debajo de nuestra mesa y sillas mientras estábamos sentados allí, sin disculpas. No estoy seguro de por qué se molestó en realidad, ya que todo lo que hizo fue mostrar lo sucio que estaba el lugar. Luego procedió a dejar las migas, el polvo, etc.en el medio del piso, por lo que obviamente fue solo para que pareciera que se había hecho, ¡no para limpiar realmente! Seguramente durante estos tiempos, los lugares deben estar muy limpios. Creo que el personal claramente necesita capacitación adicional en todas las áreas. Definitivamente no volvería a visitarlo.

I’m more into independent coffee chains, however used to work at a Nero’s many moons ago in Guildford . It’s easily the best out of the chains. Proper Italian coffee, Starbucks hasn’t got a patch on this place with its weak coffee. Had an espresso crema was just right . Also had a muffin , tasty . Good service. Toilets could do with a clean though

This little Caffè Nero has lots of competition around it and on sunny days has tables outside which is good to see. However on other aspects it is nothing special. It needs some TLC and money spending on it. Two locks on the loo don’t work, so a third is added rather than fixing one of the others. That pretty much sums it up. Unloved and average.

Popped into Neros today to escape the downpour of rain with husband and 2 grandchildren. Recieved excellent service from gentlemen serving and enjoyed the beverages and cakes we ordered. On using the toilet facilities prior to leaving I was appalled at the disgusting state of the toilet. This was not just unclean it was completely neglected and unfit for public use. The toilet pan was covered in thick grime .the seat and rim of toilet was lime scaled and gilthg as we're all pipes around the room , dusty dirty and unhygienic. The door handles were sticky from goodness knows what . The area around the sink and taps were dirty with dust and limescale and completely disgusting. I would not recommend this cafe as this is likely to be a health and safety issue.

The toilet roll holder is broken and its not clean.

I’ve visited regularly over the years, and the food was once really good. They have changed the menu recently and the food is now over-priced and very small portions. We had burgers (£13), which came on a tiny side-plate, burger bun not toasted, no garnish/salad. The burger patty was mushy. We ordered fries (£4), which came in a tiny bowl, just a small handful. £17 for a tiny portion of lack-lustre burger and fries. I’ve always recommended the food here to friends, but not now. Save your money and eat somewhere else, such a shame.
