The customer service here is usually very good but... Today when I took a bite of my Pain au Chocolat, it was dry and flavourless, so assuming it must be stale I took it back to the counter. I asked him if it might be stale. He said that he had baked it himself this morning. I said I did not want to eat it. He said fine...and that was it. I won't be back.

The pastries are usually OK here. Today I got a dry stale tasting Pain au Chocolat. The barista chap assured me he had baked them himself this morning. I said I did not want it. He said fine..and that was it. Not great customer service. Won't be back.

Lovely spot to watch the world passing, have a coffee and get a bit or work done with some nice background hubbub. The staff are a really friendly bunch and usually make a decent flat white. Snacks are also good. Prices are getting a little bit steep, and it feels unreasonable that they add on extra for oat-milk.

2nd Update - Really friendly, efficient staff who want to provide you with the perfect cup of coffee. One of none was remade twice because of problems with the milk heater. Lots of regular customers - great place. Update: it is still good. Fast, efficient, friendly service & great coffee. Plenty of seating as well.

Decent cafe but bit dated and could do with an uplift! Women’s toilets were out of order and my friend said the men’s were vile. No plug sockets anywhere, which you wouldn’t expect in a cafe. However, drinks were very well made and service was exceptional- all the staff in there are brilliant and so helpful/friendly.

Nice little coffee shop in Lewes. They open early which is nice. Other shops open later. So I suppose this is where one could say ‘the early bird gets the worm’. All drinks were made perfectly, and the service was friendly.

Dirty and unhygienic We have been here a number of times over the years and found it adequate if nothing to write home about. Today the drinks were not hot enough and the hot chocolate had to be sent back as it was half froth. But worse, the restaurant and the food serving area is filthy. The floor hasn’t been cleaned for ages and behind the sofas is a disgusting mess of discarded bottles, serviettes and old food. The serving drinks serving area was in need of a good clean and the staff seemed not to care. We won’t be going back.

Always a good spot here as a good range of seating and tables to look forward to for having coffee and other things, so far have been here for many things either for food and drink options. Better when it is less busy and on early morning or quiet times, so far prices not too bad though sometimes high for some things.

My husband and I with my 86 year old disabled mum went to Cafe Nero in Lewes cake and tea. We ordered and sat down, the coffee shop was empty of customers and three members of staff were sitting down. We chose to sit on the comfy sofas in the window so it was more comfortable for my mum. It had dirty cups on the table which we cleared - no problem. The table was still grubby but it was ok as my mum was comfortable on the seating. One member of staff came over and said 'I was shouting at you to collect your order' we apologised and said that the air con was quite loud and that we didn't hear him. He said that he shouts very loud, I asked him to clean the table, his attitude was terrible and so we didn't stay - we asked for a refund and left. Terrible service.

I went here the other day with my friend and when I asked for my drink I was returned with an extremly judgemental reaction because the drink I ordered was apparently 'not on the menu' even though it was one of the normal drinks just over ice which is also an additional option on the menu. the drink was also extremly badly made, it was essentially just milk and ice.

En route from Hayling Island to Eastbourne, Lewes was perfectly placed for a Coffee / Comfort break. Two fine Cortado together with quite excellent Pork & Pancetta Sausage Rolls. Not sure you would find these in Italy, but warmed thru they really were excellent. Pretty swift, friendly service. When our order overflowed the Tray a young Waitress was asked to take the 2nd Sausage Roll to our Table. "Above and begond", many thanks. The Loos a bit tired and would benefit from decoration and new sanitaemry ware. Hayling Seagoon

You get what you pay for in terms of coffee and food but given the state of the place you have to wonder. The toilets are filthy and rather than cleaning, a complete refurbishment would be in order. The floor and tables are rarely wiped over and when they are it is with little enthusiasm and around the counter area it is only marginally better.

It's one of the better coffee shop chains for me. Always relaxed and never come out feeling anything other than ok or feeling good - welcoming people serving, who seem interested in who they are serving. Opening at 6.30am its a jolly sight to behold bleary eyed and on start of daily commute. A human experience not a mechanical one 😊

Called in for a quick cuppa and cake whilst in the area. Staff didn't seem interested. Not impressed when my cake was placed on a tray right under the nose of the person in front of me, who was waiting for her drink, so she could breathe all over it in covid conditions! The staff member should have had the common senses not to do this, when I mentioned this the uninterested staff member she said the other customer should have moved away?

Massive all stars to CN in Lewes, I was there on Saturday last week after my visit to the castle. I just felt like having tea and scones but all the tea shops were closing at that time. Do I tried CN and to my delight, I was able to enjoy what I wanted in a cosy, easy going environment where a lovely fog was also among the guests (my joy as a pet lover). The girls behind the counter were just one big genuine smile, happy to help in whatever way, including with my request to be able to recharge my mobile phone a little. I really enjoyed those 40 minutes or so sipping my tea and the warmed scone before heading to my next destination and will definitely go back there whenever I am in Lewes. Girls you did the magic that day, something someone else a few doors away only a few minutes before failed terribly. 🙏❤️😉

Service was friendly enough and luckily plenty of room for all 8 in my group to sit. However, there was flies everywhere which made it a fairly unpleasant experience. There was also a dead fly in my son's beans. When I took it back, they found more dead flies in the beans 🤢. Disappointed by only 3 choices on the menu, Also, no mention of allergies/what was in the pies. If I had known there was mushrooms in the pie I would not have ordered it.

This place has dropped it's standards since we last visited. It was grubby and clearly had not been cleaned properly in a while. The tables, floors, cutlery, glasses, toilets. Everything was visibly unclean. The staff didn't seem happy. It is half full of people working on laptops, so the atmosphere has taken a dive too. Such a shame.
