Ever since we opened our first coffee house in 1997, Caffè Nero has been dedicated to two things: creating the very finest handcrafted Italian coffee and providing a warm and relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy it.
As every second counts when you’re flying, you need good food – fast! This is why Caffè Nero at Heathrow offers a 15-minute menu.
Caffè Nero has been involved in grass roots music sponsorship and support since 1998 when we had five stores.
With the Soho Jazz Festival coming up we decided to put some live music into Caffè Nero and were introduced to Tony Moore, a leading light in the London grass roots music industry who became the first musician to play live in a Caffè Nero.
As a result of that introduction I became friendly with many up and coming musicians in London and started playing their music on our in-store music system, which helped to build their fan base, gave them royalties, and of course helped to build the very special Caffè Nero store ambiance.
