Caffé Nero Andover

I live in Andover and after spending many years in Italy, I thought surely I can buy a decent cup of cappuccino at a place that boasts about having their own brand of coffee but sadly that’s not the case at Cafe Nero. If I am lucky I might come across a couple of people who know how to make it properly but that’s not always the case. Cappuccino should not be mistaken with something that resembles a muddy looking water with no creamy foam but instead topped with overpowering amount of cinnamon and coco dust. They are extremely friendly but not so able to make a decent cup of cappuccino.

Fantastic brew! The gentleman in glasses that works here every morning is always so kind and helpful. He seems to like his job much, as evidenced by the constant grin on his face. I really enjoy my time here.

Great coffe and danish. Atmosphere is warm and cosy. Service was a bit slow but not a real issue if you have time. Worth the detour if you are looking for an alternative to Starbucks.Food: 5/5

I love Cafe Nero Andover, the staff are always polite and nice. However the level of cleanliness and hygiene has gone significantly downhill in the past year. This week there were flies all over the muffins and it is not the first time I noticed this. You can see the small black flies on the pistachio muffins. This is in full view of the customers where you can order food.

Excellent coffee, good prices, much better than Starbucks. Comfortable environment, cozy, and welcoming. Highly recommended for coffee lovers!Food: 1/5

Sunday - 2/12 - Noon. They use to have jugs of Cider to make the Hot Apple Cider. They would then stamp the loyalty card. Now you have to use the individual Cider container that’s in the refrigerator. They use that to make the Hot Apple Cider. I give the barrister my money to pay and along with my loyalty card. She then says oh we don’t stamp for this. I said for the last couple of weeks u have stamped the card. She then gives me an attitude. There are two other coffee shops in walking distance that I will take my business to.

I really wish the drinks were consistent here. Some baristas know exactly what they’re doing and hot drinks come out really good and others seem to not know how to properly steam milk, or what ratios of milk go in what drinks. If you don’t know how to make a hot drink just be honest and I’ll order something iced.

This place is a gem. Discovered it on my most recent visit to Andover when I was looking for "Stubs" down the street alternative. Man, what a treasure. Amazing frittata and the sandwiches look fabulous. Best part was the fresh out of the oven pastries and the barista, who patiently answered all my coffee and food questions so I could track my macros.

Such a gem. Got avocado and salmon toast, an oatmilk latte and a slice of lemon cake not pictured as a sweet treat. All were delicious but the real star is the ambiance. The rustic shelves lined with gorgeous bound books is perfection. Will definitely return.

I was having a stressful day but as soon as I walked in I felt the calm and relaxing vibes of this place. The staff was welcoming and the food and drinks were delicious. This is a fantastic place to go read or finish a bit of office work you may have or to simply seat and enjoy a heart warming cup of coffee.
