Caffe Nero

A really handy location for this café, right between St James Centre, the bus station and Multrees Walk.
It was a busy period and I was looking around to see what and where two chairs and a table for a good old chat up with a friend who I hadn’t seen in an age. I eyed twice on a target and twice other customers behind me claimed them with the moved of the partner. oh how rude!
Anyway I bought my coffee — cappucino with ameretto and skinny milk. The barista was friendly and chatty too. I get the felling there could of bee an extra person on the floor just to get the place a little tidier as it looked like they were being humped by how busy it was.
I managed to get a table and my friend came over a good few minutes later. It just felt like an age between ordering, paying ang making/​recieving both coffees. But however they were nice, warm and required no sugar, which for me is a shock with chain coffee! I’ve been trying to have my espresso based drinks without sugar and it’s been a success but most of these drinks were from good independent cafés!
I think i will be back. This place is handy.

This is a really well laid out café Nero on a busy corner of Stockbridge. Good for staying in for a while.

Café Nero is great, but this shop manages to keep a local feel, whilst still retaining the consistency of a national chain.

If you are looking for a good spot to read in Stockbridge, or to meet for a coffee, this Caffe Nero is really nice. The staff are friendly, and the view of the cross roads of North West Circus Place is good for the odd bit of people watching and the comfy seats cant be beat. However, a few too many of the strawberry frappé’s and you will quickly put on the beef. Does well to hold its own as a different sort of place than the Starbucks further up the hill.
