Caffé Nero located on Brewer Street is one of the more smallest venues of their coffee shops on their chain yet some would argue that size doesn’t always matter and it’s the quality that counts. I must say that in regards to this particular Caffé Nero, I can wholly say that size doesnt’ matter if you get all of the other components right. Located on a corner on Brewer Street with a 60 second walk to Piccadilly Circus and no longer than 3minutes away from Soho as well as Oxford Circus Tube Station you’d be surprised to know how non-touristy this place is. Based on the back roads of Central London, it is fair to say that being kept out of sight of the ‘tourist attractions’ does itself wonders and if you enjoy your coffee from Caffè Nero or any other big coffee chains but with the feel of an independent coffee shop then this is the place for you. **4 stars for it’s location and Caffè Nero styled coffee. Standard customer service with the polite hello and speedy coffee is also a bonus. With it also being small you can tell if this place got busy during rush hour(due to many businesses around the store) it could get quiet cramped as it does(at times) feel claustophobic. Downstairs has a quiet feel with the choice of standardised tables or the option of a comfy sofa(if you get lucky) with adequate lighting, modern décor, good wifi(free) and plenty of plug sockets to plug in your contents. Drawback would be not being able to accommodate large groups but as a solo coffee lover also seeking peace and quiet, this place has me returning whenever I’m in town and close by**

I was here super early in the morning. 8am. It’s small and quaint. But I can imagine when It gets reallllly busy it must be like bedlam. Service was standard. Nice when quiet escaping London a but by going downstairs to their small little dungeon of tables and seats.
