Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return for the coffee, with several singling out a silky cappuccino, an iced pistachio latte and a strawberry milkshake. Close behind are the cakes and bakes, where the chocolate and lemon cakes, fresh donuts and cannolis get specific praise, along with a salmon and cream cheese bagel and warm, well-filled sandwiches. Many describe a cosy, welcoming space with comfortable couches and a long window table for sitting with a book or journal, and the staff are repeatedly called friendly. One reviewer mentions a manager who gave a loyalty card with an extra stamp to a visitor passing through. A few raise small gripes: one wanted more vegan food, noting the vegan bakes go quickly, and another found the cheese toastie was a single thick slice of bread rather than a full sandwich, though they blamed their own assumption. One slice of cake arrived late during a busy spell, and staff apologised and brought it straight over after a gentle reminder.

    “I’ve been wanting to check this coffee shop out for ages and I was not disappointed! The coffee is amazing the cannolis are like the ones you get in Italy. The atmosphere is fantastic and aesthetic and the staff are friendly. Highly recommend 😊”
  • Lisa Quince
    “Absolutely love this spot. Service is always great and the vibes are lovely, so welcoming and a comfortable spot whether you're by yourself or with friends. Great range of drinks on offer and I love that their sweet treat range changes up - there's always something scrumptious that grabs my attention and I appreciate the variety. The sandwiches are also great value and very tasty. I believe that everything is available for dine in or takeaway which I also appreciate. I often come in for a coffee or a strawberry milkshake💓”

    “I discovered Nixon Coffee while in Derby for rehearsals for an upcoming show, and I’m so glad I did. From the first visit, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the coffee was excellent — exactly what you need during long rehearsal days. A special mention has to go to the manager, Jai. I explained I was only visiting the area temporarily and wouldn’t be back regularly, yet he still gave me a loyalty card and even added an extra stamp. It was such a small gesture, but it genuinely meant a lot and really reflected the kind of customer service that makes somewhere stand out. True to my word, when I returned to Derby for the actual show — even though I was only there for one night — I made a point of going out of my way to visit Nixon Coffee again. Jai was there once more, just as pleasant, welcoming and accommodating as before. I’m now only a couple of stamps away from a free coffee, so it looks like I’ll have to arrange another trip back to Derby - and to this lovely café. Sometimes great customer service costs nothing; it’s simply about being kind, thoughtful human beings. Thank you, Jai, and the team at Nixon Coffee. Definitely worth a visit.”
