We love this place! The coffees are delicious! It’s our first coming here. It’s a big place and even has upstairs to relax.

Busy but very nice atmosphere. Central location and mostly full of students and they unusually well behaved . Two floor cafe offering usual tea, coffee and sandwiches stuff. Cafe Nero coffee is better then other cafes and always go for melt tuna sandwich. Plenty of seating on ground floor as well as 2nd floor. Nice view from upper floor. Service was good with smile even they were busy. Toilets clean and tidy.

Love ordering my coffee, sitting on a comfy arm chair and reading my book with my dog snoozing at my feet . Bliss when you need to get out the house and have some down time in peace !!!! Xxx

Nice town centre location...unfortunately doesn’t have an outdoor seating area...but does benefit from comfortable seats in ‘ windows on the world’, so....great for people watching over the busy junction outside. Has a very large and relaxed upstairs seating area. Great coffee and snacks too.

Visited during the week (afternoon) and it was almost empty, however, the service took a little bit long but this was not annoying as the kindness and the taste of my drink compensated me for the wait. The shop is comfortable, clean and tidy and spacious (plenty of tables and seats both downstairs and upstairs). There are plugs so phones and other devices can be charged here. There's also a toilet. Tasty drinks, always good quality, and relatively competitive prices (especially considering the quality). I can recommend this coffee shop.
