Crema's Take
“This Caffe Nero location trades heavily on being a comfortable workspace with friendly staff, but quality control is inconsistent—customers report undersized soup portions, inconsistent drink execution, and order fulfillment hiccups. If you're mainly after a laptop-friendly spot with decent vibes on Thayer Street, it works; if you're coming for reliable, well-made coffee, the 3.9 rating reflects real gaps in both the drinks and the kitchen.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly. Light food on the menu. Wifi.
