Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest β your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Caffe Nero feels like that reliable friend who shows up but maybe needs to step up their game. The hygiene is decent at 4/5, but with a Google rating of 3.8, itβs kind of like getting a B- on a test. Sure, the coffee might be decent, but if youβre looking for a standout experience, you might want to keep scrolling.
Regulars rave about the La Marzocco coffee machine, but the atmosphere is more 'cafΓ© in a rush' than 'cozy spot to chill'. Sure, it's a convenient pitstop, but donβt expect anything too memorable. So if youβre in the area and need a caffeine fix, Caffe Nero does the job. Just don't go in expecting a life-changing coffee experience.
Caffe Nero, Devon β Food Hygiene Rating: 4/5
