Quick info
About Caffè Nero
Caffè Nero is a coffee shop in Manchester, set inside Piccadilly Station with an upstairs seating area and a window looking out over the city. That upper level gives passengers a place to wait for their train with a drink. The drinks list includes flat white alongside hot and cold blended drinks, and the food side runs to light dishes such as almond croissant and lemon meringue tarts. Orders are placed at the counter. The shop also serves late into the evening, so it works as a late-night stop inside the station.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff and quick service at this Piccadilly Station branch, with the almond croissant, pistachio croissant and lemon meringue tarts named as favourites alongside a flat white, a soya hot chocolate, granola and a sandwich. One reviewer says the almond croissant has the most almond paste of the big coffee chains and tastes nice slightly warmed. The upstairs seating is described as relaxing and comfortable for waiting on a train, though one reviewer calls the downstairs scruffy, with most chairs looking reclaimed from a school, and another found it noisy because of one group. The complaints are specific. One reviewer on a hot day was told no cold drinks could be served because there was no ice, found the air conditioning not working, and got a matcha latte that was neither hot nor tasty. Another said a large cappuccino arrived with half the measure missing. Another says the grumpy cashier closed the upstairs two hours early. Still, a reviewer notes the coffee is consistently the same quality.

“- At 30 degrees, they couldn’t serve any cold drinks, as no ice was available ! - Air condition not working! - The matcha latte was not even hot or tasty! - The closing time is 7.00 but the grumpy cashier decided to clean and close the upstairs by 5.00 PM !”

“Great coffee and granola and I love the pistachio croissants and always get served fast. I dropped a star because it was soooo noisy in here but it was just one group of people.”

“I usually enjoy my coffee experience here but today I feel a little short changed. I ordered a large cappuccino but they appear to have skimped on the measure as half of it appears to be missing.”
