Caffe Nero - Lymington in New Forest

Run down Grimy and dirty In need of some TLC Wouldn’t bring my dog in there

Kind friendly staff. Consistent great coffee. Despite being constantly busy the team deal magnificently with the public and make them feel welcome. Their coffee is always prepared expertly too which is not easy. Great location as well. Rich

These days every time I visit this place the coffee machine is broken. Seriously, it's a coffee shop that you can't get coffee from! This used to be my place to go as I was a regular at Nero's for years before moving to Lymington. What this poor experience has done though is open my eyes to some of the AMAZING independent coffee shops in Lymington 😀☕ I won't be going been to Nero's anytime soon

As clean as ever, polite and respectful staff and a great coffee. For me personally, they have the edge over all the others. Service second to none, coffee as good as ever. It's popular and I'm not surprised.

We had a flat white and a chai latte and the drinks were well prepared. Good quality

From a design and decor perspective the Caffè Nero in Lymington is unremarkable, although it is clean and tidy and has a nice outdoor area to the rear. Service was good as were our coffees.

Nero’s been here many years and serves good coffee. The place is in desperate need of a refurbishment. The seats are disgusting and you shiver when go to sit on them !

Really enjoyed my time there really friendly staff

Friendly staff. Relaxing chairs. However, despite being 6°C outside the air conditioning was still on and caused an unpleasant draught meaning coats on throughout our stay. This seems to be a Caffe Nero thing. Latte was 1/3 froth and more like a cappuccino. Overall it was OK but unremarkable.

Bit disappointing as non dairy/gluten free, 2 packet cake options, and no Almond milk so not top of my list, nice and clean though with comfy seats, husband had the Amaretto mince pie said it was nice

Drink was ok but the environment is very dirty, especially the armchairs with disgusting upholstery, the floors, door and windows .

Lovely place to have a coffee, food if you fancy, and just sit and relax.

A large cafe ,which is good for getting a seat, but all of the seats could do with being replaced

Nice atmosphere in this branch. The staff are friendly and polite.

Beautiful bacon roll. Great prompt service, no queue. Choice of milk in drink. Clean tables. Good atmosphere

Change in management, and staff has transformed Nero Lymington. Great coffee and lovely friendly staff. Dog friendly too.

1st class as always, the best oat lattes

The coffee was good and well prepared. Staff were helpful and talkative. Granola flapjack very good

I literally stood in line for 20 mins waiting for a coffee, watching paint dry would have been more productive. 4 staff members but one on machine and tills

Quiet early morning drink and relaxation in room with plenty of seating.

Friendly service and comfortable setting

Came in for a coffee and fruit tea. Service was good.

Paper cups and paper plates. There was a warning on door but not good. Tables not cleared, not the best impression

One of the better chain coffee shops. This one in Lymington has a friendly welcome and excellent coffee.

Friendly staff a nice lay out of the store customers also friendly and dogs are welcome in the cafe

I like the music and ambience and the patio in the summer

Always visit for coffee and cake when in Lymington. The best Nero.

Nero normally better managed but seemed to be limited on staff numbers and waited 20 minutes to be served and get a burnt panini

My favourite place on Lymington for a coffee.

Great coffee, pleasant surroundings and friendly staff!!

Worst flat white I've ever had, I threw it away and went to the coffee and drift down by the water

Love the cappuccino here and I had a toasties today was very good in Lymington

Some of the comfortable seats down the back are stained and the seat cushions where my colleague and I sat were covered in food with more under the cushions. Not been cleaned for some time by the look of it!

Very helpful friendly staff, Dog friendly

Bitter and undrinkable coffee - straight in the bin!

Love the coffee, staff always friendly but....the cafe is in need of a proper cleaning, especially considering the times we are in. The armchairs are appalling, lifted the cushion to shake away the crumbs on it and the wrappers, biscuits, crisps etc underneath were disgusting!! Had to wet wipe the table, the arms on the chairs are filthy so will just be getting take aways in future, which is a great shame.

Love the coffee(decaf), when I get into town, pity it's not easily to get to out of town.

Easy parking. But not on a Saturday. Market day

Had some nice coffees as you'd expect.

Standard Caffe Nero fare, the environment is a little small and it may be difficult to find a seat. In the summer they have an outdoor area which can be great in the heat.

Cookie and shortbread were decent but not world-beaters, milkshake was lovely

Friendly staff great service and excellent coffee added bonus is premises are dog friendly

Like all coffee shops far to expensive

As you would expect from Cafe Nero

As always the staff were friendly, lively and highly efficient. They always remember what I usually have. The coffee is of good quality and is made very quickly. There is always a positive buzz around the place as the staff are invariably laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

Good Coffee.... busy but found somewhere to sit

Very cosy. Popular seven days a week central location. Great Baristas and popular with the laptop crowd.

Great coffee , great service and engaged staff Adam, Edie, Jamie, Magyer (not sure if the name is right a young chap very hard working ) and Katherine all very informal but pleasant & hard working with a nice way of engaging. How they remember all the orders and drinks is impressive must be well trained. Only thing to improve is decor is a bit dated, settees and chairs need some refurb or replace and the electric charging points for phones and laptops put at a higher level for ease of access.

The coffee was burn the milk was over steamed which made the taste 10 times worse, the toilets need to be clean and checked more regularly

Excellent cafe mocha and great service.

Pleasant and efficient service, quality coffee as always...

I know that the Law states masks are not mandatory in hospitality areas, but! Staff this morning are choosing not to wear a mask. The majority of customers, at least 90% chose to wear a mask. Lymington has approximately 20 other coffee outlets. For my peace of mind I will be giving this outlet a miss. Yes I do know the staff have the right to not wear a mask.

Best of the coffee house chains by far. Very pleasant mid morning break at the Lymington shop with a Guatemalan latte and turkey and cranberry lattice. Gentleman member of staff who served us was very pleasant and helpful.

Usual good coffee but tables uncleared and the easy chairs and settees disgusting ,unclean and have seen better days. In need of an update !

Very friendly staff, although fairly busy it was clean and as soon as customers left tables were cleared and cleaned.

Nice shop, coffee is very good at Nero. Food is the same fodder you get in all other chain coffee shops being over priced and pre packed but you know what to expect. Good shop to come and sit for 30 mins or so. Don't plan on being able to work from here with your wifi devices however, the wifi service is shocking and has been for months. At least can piggy back onto the Angel and Blue Pig network from across the road as they clearly have a good solution over there.

Excellent coffee and my dog was welcome too.

Nice atmosphere, great service and reliably great coffee. Sausage rolls are amazing, as is the pizza. My favourite place in Lymington to sit for a couple of hours with a book and a great coffee.

Pyszna kawa, przytulne i wygodne wnętrze, uprzejma obsługa

Comfortable setting and friendly staff

Always a great coffee at this Nero’s. Service on the money and plenty of seating both inside and out.good to see tables being cleaned regularly too.

Messy,horrible coffee, far too strong latte

Ok guys I apologise for only one outside picy but I forgot to take some inside . So the inside was ok nothing to write home about but a special little bonus was a nice little outside area to catch some rays from the sun if your lucky 😉, I haven’t seen that before in a Neros and in my opinion more of please 😎..service pretty good , helpful staff with a smile..enjoy x

Lovely restful oasis on very hot day in Lymington,nice comfy sofas to relax in

Great flat white full of flavour. Very helpful staff.

Usual Café Nero service and fayre. Better coffee than Costa too

Good service, excellent service

Shabby chairs and a piece of paper found in the bottom of the coffee cup .

Love Nero coffee and so does my 4yr old (babychino). Always a seat avaliable in or out and great efficient service

All good except one of the staff couldn't correctly wear a mask.

Have visited Cafe Nero’s in Lymington many times which is often very good. Unfortunately there is one member of staff (small young lady) who is quite rude with a bad attitude when dealing with customers. I thought this was a one off but have been served by her a few times and received the same service. A smile and politeness goes a very long way and costs nothing.

As per previous experience, excellent service and coffee

Great staff and great chick free. Popped in to grab a drink on the go. Not that you cannot sit in anywhere.! Great and friendly staff. Forget how good a coffee they do. Thank you

Friendly staff. Coffee good as always

If you have looked through any of my other reviews you’ll see that Cafe Nero is a family fave. Hot chocs are always great and consistent in taste and we do like a frappe milkshake too. Nice cuppa tea too! Didn’t go for cake today. Inside was clean with plenty of socially distant tables. Staff friendly and service very swift.

I always love coming here because its a lovely cosy little coffee shop but I don't think the quality of their coffee and their selections are that brilliant.

Best place I’ve ever been, booking my next holiday here when rona is ova. Sometimes I dream about this place, my happy place. The comments about the dirtiness and the slowest truly reflect the people of lymo, art. It’s not Buckingham palaces so chill out it’s peng alrightyttyyy. Dis Nero again and I will write another review oooooo come at me.

Nice atmosphere, but not always clean.

Coffee excellent as is the service. The sofas and furnishings are tired and stained though!

Very relaxing and very friendly staff,

A lovely & peaceful Caffé Nero's that is full of charm & centrally located in the picturesque high street of Lymington. It is a lot bigger inside than it looks from the outside as there are plenty of seats available inside & out, the staff are polite plus my hot chocolate was very well made & HOT, they sell a good range of hot & cold beverages as well as hot & cold snacks plus cakes.

We've visited a couple of times recently, and not particularly late in the afternoon, but they have always run out of toasties and sandwiches. The coffee is good & the cakes are tasty, but it would be nice to have a savoury option. Not to mention the sales they're missing out on!

Lovely coffee, not that clean inside though.

La regla de oro cuando quieres cafè excepcional es facil. Tienes que visitar este lugar. Y sobre todo es no es caro y muy sofisticado.

Lovely staff..nice ambience. Comfy chairs and a lovely garden at rear for when weather is sunny and dry. Dog friendly too.

it is always friendly and they dont keep you waiting long for your food and the food is always very good

Lovely coffee but the staff were a little overwhelmed.

Bueno cafe. As muy sofisticada y limpiar y la cafe delicioso y pastel tambien. Esta Lugar es muy cerca estacion de tren. Perfecto.

One really good member of staff, very professional and friendly, made the effort be be welcoming. Much appreciated.

Great sirvice. Ellie is the best.

Called in for a quick cup. Charming service, excellent coffee, comfortable sofa.

Very dirty, where did the training go. to employees!

It’s been a while since we had a Nero fix so the morning after a few beers seemed a good time. Service was particularly slow, there was a bit of a queue but little attempt to pick up the pace which was disappointing. We managed to grab arguably the best table by the window but there were dirty cups and trays on the floor next to us. The coffee was great as usual for Nero but they need to either get more staff in or get those there to sort out the issues.

never been here before so was impressed by the range and in lymington they allow well behaved dogs. had a frappe creme espresso and caramel no cream which I enjoyed. the barista was lovely and explained it to me before I bought. the queue was long but the baristas were working flat out. I will definitely go back and try the tempting vegan deli sandwich next time.

Iced coffees absolutely foul. Not brilliantly clean either

Nice coffee but very few staff to clear and clean tables. Young lady in training did her very best. Unlikely to visit again.

We have been loyal Cafe Nero customers for our daily coffee fix when ever we stay in Lymington. Yesterday was terrible, the cafe was dirty, tables piled with used crockery, paper on the floor, crumbs everywhere. The toilets were filthy, and as we were leaving the staff were piling bags of rubbish on the stairwell. Coffee had a burnt taste my Americano was not great, not a difficult drink to make. We have visited this store a lot and were horrified by the condition of the store, not a great experience.

Very nice staff, especially the tiny one who's always smiling :)

Good coffee and not to long await.
