I do love this place, but they don’t know how to make a cortado. It’s meant to be 1:1 ratio of espresso to milk (so the small cup is half full of espresso and half full of milk)
I was given 1:3 ratio, too little espresso & too much milk, basically a small flat white.

Coffee
☕️ The Brew: Bold & Authentic
It is the ultimate cozy haven for serious coffee lovers. If you are tired of sterile, minimalist coffee shops that feel like a laboratory, Caffè Nero is the absolute antidote. It is consistently the best high-street spot for anyone who actually cares about the quality of their espresso and wants a comfortable place to enjoy it. Loads of love♥️🍀
I brought my 10 year old and her friend today. Sophie couldn't do enough for us and the girls got some complementary mini cones. Thanks so much for a lovely treat for us.
