Alright, so there is a bit of a plethora of chain coffee shops in Bromley, with THREE Starbucks all within walking distance of each other, Coffee Republic, Costa and this Caffe Nero as well. Out of all of them, Caffe Nero is definitely my favourite. They have the most seating, the widest variety of food and the best tasting coffee out of any of them. It helps that there is a small mezzanine upstairs in this one providing just that bit of extra seating away from the heaving masses, and it's especially nice now that there is no smoking allowed in there as well. Caffe Nero was one of the last places that still allowed smoking until the complete ban and I remember the funky cloud of smoke upstairs that I used to walk into if I was desperate enough to find a seat. Now it's just very pleasant to sit up there watching the shoppers outside go by accompanied by a cappuccino and toasted panini. read more
