Caffe Nero - Bristol

Beautiful coffee shop, good tables for people watch as they go down corn street, and big coffee!

As you'd expect from Caffe Nero, though in this instance I found the service to be even better than usual. Decided to try out a new vegan toastie, which was far better than most I've had at more niche cafés, and the barista was quick to suggest other vegan options I'd missed and on the whole just really enthusiastic which made for an even more pleasant lunch break.

I have been visiting Caffe Nero principally at Corn Street since late 2014. I always have Cappuccino Grande, except when Winter Berry Latte is on. I have found the food to be excellent, Almond Torte, Red Velvet Cake, Bolognese Bake is good for a hot snack. All of these unfortunately are now off the menu so leaving Toasted Teacakes, Caramel Shortcake and a newer one but I can recommend still Ham and Cheese Croissant. The Coffee of course varies according to who does it but when done right the Cappuccino is pure silk in a glass, rich body, thick foam top dusted with chocolate yet goes straight down, not weak, no hot water taste or bitterness. The setting makes use of it's building with those huge picture windows retaining original features. The music can be good too with some classic Jazz numbers among them. It can get extremely packed even at odd times also can be very quiet, sometimes very noisy depending on who is in. That isn't why I recommend them. They have couple of Barista's in there, Holly Maia who are excellent at their jobs, the manager is good too they are so welcoming. The pair of them are kind souls. As someone who has health troubles difficulty in going into places socially because of this. This is somewhere I can visit with no problem at all. Even if I do have some trouble from time to time I know from personal experience it won't be a problem. They pay attention remember things, what you like you want decaff no problem. That is why I recommend them.

The restaurant offers a great selection of sandwiches and cakes, with each item clearly displaying its calorie content, which I found very helpful. The coffee was excellent, and the service was outstanding. I would definitely visit again!

This is the perfect spot for coffee and light bites. The staff is friendly and helpful!
