Vero Waffle and Gelato in Rushmoor

Don’t often visit Aldershot as overall it’s a depressing and run down town but on a positive, Vero Cafe is a good reason to make an exception. Good selection of competitively priced waffles/toasties/paninis as well as sundaes and hot drinks. I particularly appreciate the ability to select one of the many loose teas available to have in my pot. Friendly owner is always welcoming and a bonus is fact Vero Cafe is at the top of town and only a short walk from Morrisons free (3hrs?) car park. This visit was during the current Covid restrictions and tables were spaced accordingly. There were no cakes at all available and so yet again it meant we were unable to take up the £4.95 cake and coffee special :-(.......although our waffle and toastie were fine :-)

Called into Vero for a cup of coffee as I had a bit of time to kill before I could check into Travelodge. Don't often drink coffee but the cappuccino I had was good. Staff were very friendly and the prices were very good. I even went back the next day and will go back before I leave.

Thankfully, we're able to visit Vero again after the long, hard, dark cafe-less weeks of CV19 lockdown. Welcoming and friendly, the cafe is roomy and comfortable, great for a catch-up with friends and family. Coffees are very good. Also, the smoothies and waffles hit the spot nicely when the mood strikes.

Brough my girlfriend to this cute little cafe for a quick drink. I had the American with milk with a ham, mozzarella and pesto panini, and she had the iced late (that came with a scoop of ice cream!).Everything about the food and drink is perfect, and we're a bit of a snob when it comes to food/drink. You'll struggle to find a better cafe anywhere in the county, let alone Aldershot!

Had a coffee in this beautiful, relaxed and charming coffee shop. All the staff were friendly. The coffee was wonderful, far better than all the high Street chains. I can't recommend enough. Although I didn't try any, they did have a good selection of toasties, cakes, waffles and ice creams!Me and my partner will definitely be back!

Aldershot centre has a few coffee shops, all mainly located along dismal Union St - Vero is at the very top end at junction with Grosvenor Rd. There’s a small outside seating area which I guess in summer is probably “smokers corner” and the interior ambience is a step up from those further down the street. What attracted our attention and “invited us in” was a sign stating “coffee and cake for £4.95” but disappointingly there was no cake left when we visited early afternoon and so made do with just hot drinks (tea is served by the cup or pot) - there are toasties, waffles and ice cream also on offer. Additionally, there’s a selection of loose tea varieties displayed in jars which can be purchased from 100g. In my opinion this friendly independent is probably the best Coffee shop in and around Aldershot - just hope they have cake next time we visit!

I brought my family to have a cup of coffee and something sweet, first impression was that the place was very clean. Second thing was that the coffee was more than excellent, better than any costa or starbucks crap. Third thing was that the waffle was soooo delicious l cant explain how much l enjoyed my visit. Highly recommend to anyone who havent visit here yet !!!

Vero is by far the best coffee shop in Aldershot and surrounding area. Extremely comfortable inside and the service is always with a smile.

This is a fantastic little coffee shop and very reasonably priced. Paninis and toasties are delicious, hot drinks are excellent value. Good selection of ice cream, I had tiramisu which I would recommend. We'll be back to try the waffles.

This place is just great and my Grandson loves it too! We have popped in several times lately as my Grandson loves the ice cream. The owner remembers what we usually order and children are made welcome! This place has really upped it's game in recent months although a few extra items on menu would be nice.

Always visit when I'm passing - the staff are so friendly and helpful. Yesterday I took my grandson for his first ice cream visit. He loved it and we made friends with a lovely French lady as well. Sadly Aldershot is lacking in many areas but this place certainly has my vote.

I often pop in with friends as the food is good, coffee is great and staff are friendly. Rarely a problem getting a seat. Cafe is bright and airy

Went here with a friend whilst we were shopping - this was the best part of our shopping trip!| Had waffles with strawberries, cream and ice cream and it was simply gorgeous. I shall definitely visit here again

a very friendly small place to have a lovely coffee etc there is an outside patio area nice in the summer closed monday

Los gofres recién preparados y sabor fantástico. Que vale la pena esperar.

Visited after a short shopping trip and had a lovely hot chocolate, staff were pleasant and the surroundings were very clean. Nice place to spend half an hour to yourself.

Hoy fui a por un café y un trozo de pastel - una de las ofertas ofrecidas. El café no estaba muy concurrida, sólo 7 o 8 clientes. La camarera parecía estar muy ocupados, pero el chico detrás del mostrador tenía dos velocidades - parada y lento. Tuve que esperar 12 minutos para mi café y pastel - Este pese a la camarera cuanto tiempo y luego tener que ir al mostrador y pregunta a la persona.

Compré mi sobrina aquí algunos helado después de escuela sobre las 15.30 horas del viernes. Al llegar allí estaba rodeado de unos 10 vacío bandejas de plata sólo 5 tipos de helados!

Too good to be true!!!! Excellent coffees, MUCH MUCH cheaper than Costa and lots of GORGEOUS waffles with fruit and cream to choose from. So glad I found it...I was actually on my way to Costa at the time. Plus 3 outside tables for us...

Visitamos de nuevo por lo bueno que era la última vez. Ahora hacer batidos (muy buena) y sándwiches tostados (bien, pero nada especial). Me pareció que los precios eran muy razonables y el personal mientras no hablador era agradable y educado. Nunca es muy transitada que es genial, pero espero que no salgas de negocios porque sería una pérdida. Si te gusta el café, galletas, helado y un poco de paz y tranquilidad es un buen lugar para venir.

I see on walking past recently that prices have been upped quite considerably........is this perhaps in response to loss of custom through limited items available on the menu and extremely poor customer service??

The atmosphere is pretty close to some Italian cafés we've been to. Coffee is excellent, as are the waffles. I can't comment on the gelato… yet!

Lovely coffees and if you don't fancy a dessert they do very good savoury crepes. Nice relaxing ambience. A great place to meet up with friends and is child friendly. This was opened by a member of cafe macchiato, and is open on Sundays whereas cafe macchiato is not.

I had the banana waffle and a caramel latte. The waffle was delicious - a good portion covered in cream and banana, drizzled with caramel on top. :) The latte was similarly tasty - clearly very good quality beans! My mum had the chocolate fudge cake and described it as "amazing". Service was friendly and timely, even though they were quite busy. All in all a very good spot, will definitely be back!

Have visited here on a number of occasions and always found it to be OK, although you do always tend to wait a long time for your rinks etc to arrive!!Visited at weekend and both members of staff working (a man and a woman) were extremely rude and arrogant. Drinks were thrown down in front of us in different stages and my husband had almost finished his latte before my pot of tea arrived. Also only a choice of 3 cakes and once they are gone they are gone we were told in a very rude manner when we tried to order a piece with our coffee that had apparantly already been sold!?!?!Will not be returning in a hurry, which is a shame as this could be such a nice coffee shop if run properly and staffed with polite, friendly workers!!!

This used to be a wonderful Cafe. The last few visits they have stopped crepes and can only offer sandwiches, so no savoury choices. Ran out of fillings at lunch time . 3 of us eating, 2 meals arrived but by the time 3 rd arrived the others had finished! coffee took 25 minutes. Gentleman rude and surly ! shame lovely peaceful Cafe.

Quality coffee and awesome waffles!! I probably spend too much time in this place to be honest!A great place to sit down, relax, enjoy a coffee and if you're anything like me; then to sit down and do some reading and/or writing. It's also a nice place to come with friends as you have enough room to have a decent chat and you can get a decent drink and bit of food - haven't eaten one of the toasties yet; but my girlfriend has and she said they're pretty nice...The waffles; I've had plenty of and they're spot on. Cooked from fresh and always fill the gap!

We visited in a group of six as a lunchtime respite from the office. We chose Vero Waffle and Gelato mainly owing to the good reviews on Tripadvisor. It being the week before Shrove Tuesday we were all hoping to treat ourselves to some crepes!The first disappointment came in the form of them no longer serving crepes or pancakes. The already limited menu is now even smaller it seems. From what I can recall there were lots of different flavours of brightly coloured ice-cream, about eight different waffle combinations, two different sorts of cake, two toastie options and three sandwich options. Plus a full range of hot drinks and a few different milkshake flavours.I opted for the signature dish of banana waffle and had a flat white coffee on the side. This came to just over £6 which I think is a touch expensive. The food was served fairly quickly and the waffles were cooked from fresh, as one would expect from a cafe specialising in waffles. The coffee was good.Having seen what the rest of my party ordered, I was extremely pleased I stuck to a waffle. Two of our group ordered toasted sandwiches - these arrived as slightly warmed regular sandwiches with no real evidence of having been fully toasted. The regular sandwiches were also distinctly average. The savoury dishes were not served with any form of relish or small salad - just a cursory bit of rocket and sliced tomato could go a long way to improve this!The environment is quite pleasant, spacious and not busy. The furniture is well positioned and comfortable and the interior decor is inoffensive enough.The staff seemed disinterested and a bit distant. No polite conversation or menu recommendations.I'm not sure that I'd go back again for food but as a coffee house Vero Waffle and Gelato is acceptable. The menu is too limited for it to function successfully as either a dessert parlour or as a cafe. I suppose it does exactly what it says on the tin - but the limited niche of waffles, ice-cream and coffee may go some way to explain why it regularly seems to be devoid of customers!

Love the ice creams, the waffles and the hot chocolate. Highly recommend!! Great relaxed atmosphere.

My kids chose to get a treat here. The service was fine as it was quiet. The choice of food was poor. We also thought it was a bit pricey. It was not for us, so will not return.

Firstly I would like to say the food and drink was good. My problem was poor service. There were only two people working there and it was about a third full. We ordered 3 hot drinks one sundae one toastie and a waffle. We waited about 10mins for the first two drinks followed by the sundae. After my granddaughter finished her icecream I then asked about her hot chocolate and was told its on its way. Another 5 or more minutes passed I chased it up. Then I noticed other people getting their sandwiches before us that came in after. I chased up our sandwich and waffle. 10 mins later it arrived but not correct so I asked for the difference in price back. It took about 50mins for our sandwich and waffle to arrive. If I didn't have children with me that chose to eat here I would have left!

Vero's coffee, waffle and gelato bar is my all time favourite place to enjoy a coffee and a catch up on the morning's newspapers. It's where I take business associates from London. Situated on the corner of Union Street and Grosvenor Road, the huge glass windows catch the evening sun, making it a lovely place to enjoy a coffee or hot chocolate after work, or any time of day really. Historical pictures adorn the walls, informing us that the building was visited by members of the royal family during Victoria's reign. The decor is lovely, the proprietor is welcoming and I love the fact that he roasts and grinds his own coffee, so that I can enjoy the Vero experience at home. The waffles are good, but the Bavarian pancakes are truly exceptional. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

I visit Vero every week and their lates are beautiful, hot or cold and taste much fresher than coffee from chain places; reasonably priced too with very friendly service.

Very, very good ice cream and everything else looked good as well. The service was great and the place itself was very pleasant. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend...

I had a lovely smoothie which looked like a cocktail! Nice food but more a dessert place than savoury, which unfortunately means I've only been once. I think savoury crepes were available. As I've never seen it busy, maybe it suffers from the limited menu in a small town,which is a shame as it's very nice.

You must try these waffles, or the ice cream. My personal favourite is the cheesecake, with a coffee and free wifi! Lush :)

Consistently high quality coffee and the savoury pancakes are delicious. The cheesecake with rose water-flavoured topping with strawberries is wonderful and the cafe setting is chic and stylish. Definitely well worth a visit to Aldershot for this experience.

I think we must have tried most of the capuccino places in a ten mile radius of this place and this serves the best coffee, ground freshly for each order. Very reasonable prices, clean and comfortable surroundings and friendly staff (waffles and crepes look good too but have not sampled them!).

I decided to come here while I was in Aldershot for the day as I thought that a café specialising in waffles and gelato seemed interesting. While I enjoyed my order, neither my drink or dessert measured up to the competition. The waffles, while enjoyable, were a little disappointing given that they are supposed to be this place's signature dish. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day, but the staff didn't seem to be particularly happy and this affected both the service and atmosphere in the place.The menu here is quite different from your average café as rather than focusing on sandwiches and cakes, they have a strong focus on waffles and ice cream instead. Cakes remain available, but I only saw one on display, so there doesn't appear to be much variety on offer. Sweet and savoury crêpes are also available, with these being the only savoury item on sale here. Aside from the regular hot drinks, milkshakes made from gelato are available, while they also sell smoothies. Despite a large display counter, there didn't seem to be many different ice cream flavours on sale. Perhaps a number had sold out though, as they were wasting a lot of space otherwise. I had a tough time choosing between gelato and a waffle, but I opted for a waffle in the end as I thought that this seemed a little more irregular than gelato. My order consisted of a luxury hot chocolate and a 'Vero Waffle'.The luxury hot chocolate came first. I was expecting a 'luxury' hot chocolate to come with marshmallows and cream, like they usually do, but here it was simply cream. The cream seemed to damage the drink rather than improve it as, unlike most places where it sits on top in its entirety, some of it had mixed in with the hot chocolate, cooling it down in the process. In terms of flavour, the cream was pretty average, which meant that there wasn't a great amount of flavour to it. The chocolate powder on top of this was fantastic though, as this had a strong chocolatey flavour to it that was neither too sweet or sickly and it definitely improved the drink by a fair margin. The hot chocolate itself didn't have a great deal of froth, which was nice to see as many other places have a tendency to use far too much of this on their hot chocolates. The hot chocolate itself was reasonably average though, which meant that the chocolate flavour wasn't particularly strong, although it was reasonably sweet. Despite its shortcomings, it was an enjoyable drink, but it just simply didn't measure up to the competition.The 'Vero Waffle' came topped with cream, banana, strawberries, kiwi, blueberries and chocolate sauce. The waffle itself was fairly sweet, although not quite as sweet as the better waffles are. It was also quite thick and this meant that it seemed rather doughy at times. It also lacked any crisp or crunchy parts, with the entire thing being soft. While it tasted reasonably pleasant, it seemed a bit lacking for what was supposed to be this places signature dish. The fruit on top seemed a little better than your standard fare as they all had a fairly strong flavour to them. I was quite impressed by the blueberries as these can sometimes turn out flavourless, but each and every one was packing flavour here. The kiwi was the only disappointing fruit on offer here as all the pieces seemed to be overly hard. Perhaps it would be better if this particular fruit was served unchilled. The cream on top didn't seem to do much in terms of flavour, but it added a different texture to the dessert, tying the fruit and the waffle together nicely. The chocolate sauce on top wasn't particularly flavoursome, but this helped to add a different flavour to the dessert.Unlike most independent cafés, you pay for your order up front rather than afterwards here, although they do take your order to you at your seat rather than making you stand at the counter until it's prepared. The service here could definitely have been improved as both members of staff behind the counter seemed fairly unhappy. The menu itself doesn't explain what the various waffle titles are, so I asked the man if he could explain to me what they were. He pointed towards the counter with a rather condescending look upon his face, suggesting that I should have noticed that they were there, despite the fact that this side of the counter could not be seen from the entrance and my eyes were on the menu boards for most of the time. The other times I dealt with him, he was polite enough about everything, but the tone of his voice seemed quite miserable. Upon leaving the café I said thanks and goodbye to the female member of staff, but I did not receive a response back, which seemed rather impolite. Perhaps this isn't normal here and I simply caught them at a bad time, but they could definitely both have done a better job at masking it.In terms of value for money, the prices here seem pretty reasonable, being more or less what you would expect from a café with nothing being noticeably overpriced or underpriced. The waffles here are absolutely enormous though, being much larger than you would find in most other places. Based on this, there is definitely some good value for money to be found here.In terms of decor, there isn't a particularly great amount going on. Some walls are green, while others are white and there are some small paintings here and there preventing the place from being too plain. The café has a lot of floor space and they have done a good job at managing this well as, while there is plenty of seating available, there is also plenty of space between each table, ensuring that customers have a lot of room to feel comfortable in.

This small place had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and friendly waitress. Not many tables but still we easily found one and grabbed another chair from another table for the 3 of us. The coffee tasted great. The waffles were also nice, a good size, maybe a little more chocolate sauce/nutella needed on my banana one but thats just my preference. My friend loved the strawberry ice cream too. Reasonably priced.

Cosy café serving ice cream, crêpes, waffles, milkshakes, tea and coffee. Friendly staff, clean and tidy with plenty of comfy seating and wonderfully low prices. I just wish it was my local café.

Hi folks, Well I'm back again with another favourable review. Union St in Aldershot is fast becoming a Barista heaven and I popped in here on a whim as I was passing and I'm glad I did. The establishment is on the corner of Union St and Grosvenor Rd in a recently refurbished building which looks very smart with railed, covered outside seating area where you can watch the world go by in comfort. The interior is just as pleasant with smart and attentive staff.The coffee is excellent and a variety of snacks, including waffles, to be recommended by the way. The prices are not excessive and I would recommend a visit.

I am coffee lover and I won`t drink just any or unpalatable one. In Café Vero they always serve good and fresh coffee. This is my favourite coffee shop in Aldershot :-)

I really like going to this coffee shop. The coffee is great, the owner friendly (he even knows my usual drink) and the surroundings clean and light. I like the layout with some intimate seating and some more formal. So you can sit on a sofa with your mates or at a table with your mum. We like watching the world go by from the high tables.

Vero waffle and gelato was the venue for our latest clandestine cake club meeting and were amazing hosts. really friendly, opening especially for our event, couldn't do enough for us. a really lovely, comfy atmosphere and great selection of teas and coffees. looking forward to my next visit! http://clandestinecakeclub.co.uk/2015/06/26/fleet-farnham-farnborough-cherry-cake-sponsored-french-glace-cherries/

My partner and I moved to Aldershot 9 months ago and discovered Vero within a week and haven't looked back. we go there every time we have a day off together for the outstanding coffee and the occasional waffle. The store is very well put together and looks the part, especially impressed that they roast their own coffee on site! Staff aren't overly chatty but hey ho

having never had a waffle before this was pure delight a taste sensation I will defiantly visit again and have more of this delightful food

I recently treated my children to a visit to Vero and have to say it was absolutely lovely. Two of us had waffles which were delicious and my son had a Gelato sundae which he tells me was awesome. It's very clean, you can nearly always get a table and the staff are very nice. Great range of Gelato flavours which makes it hard to choose.

Love it here. Good prices and fantastic place to sit and people watch while chilling. Staff are very friendly too.

What a perfect place to stop off, and grab a bite and a drink... The waffles are stunning, and a good choice... perfect place to stop by yourself, or with friends.... The place is very clean, and the menu and drinks board is all there in front of you, but one your first visit you must try a waffle, as every visit after that you will probably have another waffle again.In a good place in town, so the perfect stop off point.. just what Aldershot needed, a good, clean, place, to grab a bite and drink..

Great creamy hot chocolate and tasty waffle made a lovely mid morning treat. Busy little cafe and reasonably priced

Ideal for a coffee and a slice of cake, or a plate of waffles. We popped in for a coffee and cake on Valentine's day and it was lovely. We didn't feel rushed, the drinks were hot, and the cake servings generous. Would definitely come back.

A real hidden gem! Went for the first time on saturday. Waffles freshly made it front of you? Couldnt resist! Had a fantastic waffle accompanied by a great coffee. Well recommended!

I have to say this place has got to be the best Aldershot has to offer. It's not your regular run of the mill café, They do great quality waffles, crepes, gelato and the coffee is outstanding. They roast their own coffee, in house, and you can often find the owner stood by some strange looking contraption behind the counter, which happens to be the roasting machine roasting the days particular blend. I love it love the quality and the fact that they really go for serving you something more than you would expect!

Fresh ground coffee, homemade cakes (the tiramisu is to die for!), fresh made crepes, and beautiful gelato. All topped off with fantastic decor and firendly staff.A real gem, hidden away at the top of Aldershot high street.I wouldn't even bother going in to town if it wasn't for this place.

Im so glad that this coffee shop is in aldershot. Its got lovely decor inside, a good variety of drinks and waffles! Its reasonably priced; cost approx £11 for two waffles and two hot drinks. They were even kind enough to let me sit in their patio area with my dog.

I only recently realised this place existed, nestled away at the top of the pedestrianised shopping street in Aldershot town centre, but I'm glad I did! Prices are reasonable compared to chain coffee shops, the place is very clean and elegantly decorated, and there is a good range of drinks and tasty treats on offer. I had a waffle and it was lovely and fresh, and the ice cream also looks great so I will definitely be trying that when I go back. I also snuck a sip of my mum's hot chocolate, which I couldn't fault. This will be my go-to place for refuelling when shopping in the town in future.

Popped in here this morning for a hot chocolate while out shopping with my daughter. Hot chocolate was delicious and my daughter opted for a strawberry waffle. Lovely and clean and sufficiently far enough from the main shopping centre to be quiet on a Saturday morning. Sat at a window seat looking out on the old church. Not the cheapest cafe/restaurant in Aldershot but certainly one of the nicest. We'll be going back again to try out the gelato!

Lovely cafe at the top of Aldershot pedestrian street. I just had a coffee - which was lovely - the ice cream on display was very tempting. Smallish seating area with a couple of seats outside. Very clean and friendly staff. Prices at the high end for Aldershot, but perfectly acceptable.

Good coffee, ice cream and waffles...Nice selection of gifts inc. marzipan. They even sell freshly roasted coffee to take away. Not cheap but good quality. Take the kids!

We stopped by the little cafe for an afternoon coffee and hot chocolate. Both were quality and a little on the pricey side for Aldershot. What we didn't realize until it was too late is that most people come for the waffles and so we only got to enjoy what we saw.The service was very friendly and prompt and she seemed to enjoy her job of creating food for people to enjoy. Next time we will have to grab those delectable looking waffles.

Went in yesterday for a vanilla latte, service was great, very friendly and attentive! Coffee was fantastic, served in a lovely glass cup. Great decor, modern yet cosy feel, looks ten times better than Starbucks. Spotlessly clean and welcoming! Can't wait to go back and try a waffle! Would highly recommend Cafe Vero.

To be honest, I haven't tried any of waffles or gelato yet, but coffee is really good, that's why it became my every-Saturday routine. Lovely place, nice stuff, and friendly atmosphere. Really happy to find such place in Aldershot.

Pistachio ice cream on probably the softest waffle I've ever had. And cannolono something seriously nice :) we only had a caramel iced latte as it was so warm out but you could tell the coffee is good even with all the milk and caramel. Definitely coming back!

Pleasant, unhurried atmosphere. Lots of choice. Felt very tempted to try to gelati. Perhaps next time!!

I'd heard about this place before and after moving closer I decided to go and check it out. I was blown away. The waffles are handmade and taste out of this world as do the coffees.The service was personal and friendly. Already recommended it to my friends.

Visited with my daughter for a breakfast treat. She loved the waffles (good wheat free ones) covered in chocolate sauce. A good cappuccino for me.

A nice, quiet, new place in Aldershot. You can get waffles, belgian chocolates, and gelato (ice cream) here, as well as drinks. There are some nice comfy chairs and higher bar chairs. I like the waffles, and they come with fruit. The ice cream is good too, although some flavors seem a bit artificial.
