Cafe Nero - Colchester

We chose two bacon ciabatta rolls, a chicken focaccia, a coffee latte and a half white coffee. The bacon was dry and burnt on the edges and pretty tasteless. The focaccia was fine. The total bill came to just over £20. Which I certainly did not regard as value for money.

As students, me and my friends come here to study (bare in mind we are quiet and respectful people) we haven’t been treated in a nice manor. Been here a few times, hoping to have a better experience than the last and we could never be more wrong. Addressed as ‘oi listen…’ etc. Never had a worse experience anywhere. The food is over priced for the quality and the ‘hot’ drinks were served cold, when I asked for a new one I was asked to pay again. Wouldn’t recommend

I visited this cafe this month. In the middle of a drink and work, the Manager decided to close early. Upon complaining, I was screamed at. It was confirmed by Fenwick staff that he shouldn't have closed early. Incredibly unwelcoming and cold. Very rude staff. Drinks were also of poor standard and certainly not made by a batista.

The staff are quite young but always serve you with a smile, despite the rush and stress of the job, the unfortunate rude impatient customer and so on. Most make an good cappuccino with a decent amount of froth. Shame caffe nero charges extra for decaf, that is one thing I do not understand. The shop does close quite early though. The Nero in town also closes earlier than Starbuck and costa, and you get chucked out at 5pm. The in town nero is less nice than the fenwicks one, the staff are less friendly and store is less clean and feels more shabby than chic. Also at both Neros, the vegetarian options are very limited and often there is nothing there...

A lovely, quaint place to sit and have your morning coffee, or tea, with croissants or other light snacks. They also have sandwiches etc and cakes.
