Quick info
About Caffè Nero
Caffè Nero sits at Unit 8, a coffee shop next to the Europa Hotel in Belfast city centre. Its position near the bus and train station makes it a stop for people waiting for transport. The counter serves panini for breakfast alongside a vanilla cappuccino that's a regular order, and hot chocolate rounds out the drinks. Desserts run to apple custard cake, tiramisu, and cappuccino cake. Seating outside faces the street, giving a view of passersby. Service is walk-in, with no booking needed before ordering at the counter.

“Irish American looking for a top notch cup of coffee on holiday… this spot filled my cup perfectly! Sit outside for great people watching… thank you team Nero!”

“I want to acknowledge and appreciate the extremely kind and patient service that I observed on July 11. The very sweet barista helped an elderly gentleman in a motorized wheelchair to get his coffee and dessert to his table and then spent the time to help him into his seat and then plug in his wheelchair. She did this with such care and in a way that completely respected him and his dignity - it was truly moving to see. Thanks for going out of the way to take care of him.”

Customer Review Summary
Staff draw the most praise, described as friendly, helpful, funny and quick even when the shop is very busy, and one reviewer stops in for lunch every day. Coffee follows close behind, with a vanilla cappuccino and Italian coffee singled out, and a panini called fairly good. Desserts also earn notice, with one group calling the apple custard cake, tiramisu, hot cocoa and cappuccino cake all delicious. Reviewers also mention outside seating for people watching, and one finds it a good place to sit while waiting for a bus or train. The complaints concern upkeep and consistency. One reviewer found the floors unswept and the tables needing cleaning, another says some armchairs need replacing or fixing, and one found the hot chocolate tasted different from usual. One notes the shop was quieter with the train station closing and the staff seemed a little low in mood, though still pleasant and efficient. One reviewer describes a barista carrying an elderly man's coffee and dessert to his table, helping him into his seat and plugging in his motorized wheelchair.
