Caffé Nero- Leicester, England
Rating: 7/10
Caffé Nero is everywhere in England, so it made sense for this to be my first post while I study abroad here in Leicester! This specific location is right in the city center near the Highcross Mall. It’s so cute inside and provides a nice atmosphere for quiet reading or meeting up with friends. It reminds me of the artsy coffee shops that are so common in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, so it brought me comfort and peace to sit with my tea and read. The tea itself was okay, a little too sweet and not quite creamy enough for my taste. But, the foam on top was marshmallow-y and yummy, and it was a big mug for a decent price. I absolutely loved this shop, even if it wasn’t my favorite chai, so I would definitely go back and recommend.
Update: I went to the location at King’s Cross Station in London and they intentionally discriminated against my boyfriend and ignored his order. I decided to not go back because -38,940,020/10 for racism.
