As I catch up on reviews, I find myself reminiscing about my frequent visits to Caffè Nero in Eastleigh, a place my sister and I used to visit religiously—many times a week for months.Sadly, some time ago, we noticed a decline in drink quality, particularly with the coffee. It seemed to be burnt more often than not, resulting in an overwhelming bitterness. While coffee naturally carries a hint of bitterness, there's a stark difference between the norm and the unfortunate taste of burnt coffee. Given the price of a coffee at a café compared to what you can make at home, one would expect a higher standard of quality, not a drink that needs to be masked with sweet syrups just to be palatable.The tipping point came when, on a fateful day, I ordered my usual drink only to find that, in addition to the recurrent burnt taste, the member of staff had evidently added less syrup than usual. This alteration further diminished the taste I had grown accustomed to. When I pointed out the difference, I was informed that I would need to pay extra for "more syrup". It was a simple request—to have the same amount I always had, for the same price I'd always paid. This encounter left me disheartened, feeling that the customer service did not match the standards I once valued.That day, I made the decision that I couldn't continue in this pattern—dealing with poor coffee standards, prices that didn't align with the quality, and on top of it, customer service that demanded more money for maintaining the same standard. I opted for a coffee pod machine and my preferred syrup, allowing me to indulge in good, reasonably priced coffee at my convenience. While I miss the social aspect of the café, the consistent quality and cost-effectiveness of homemade coffee have won me over.

My first visit to a Caffè Nero. Very pleasant staff, good service and excellent coffee. Returned later in the day and had coffee and cake. This again was excellent in all respects. This time it was more busy and I noticed that a lot of the customers were regulars. Which was very pleasing to see I will visit again.

My local branch of Nero is fine, but any chance of creating a non-smoking outside area?

Yummy cinnamon swirls and great coffee
Judith Sales
Felt sorry as one member of staff doing everything, she was nice though. Coffee not hot but didn't want to say. Tables not cleaned, mess everywhere, didn't enjoy.
