Caffè Nero

We started off simply trying to make a few local independent coffee houses work. And they did! We never aspired to be a big company; in fact, even today we see ourselves as a start-up. We have grown one coffee, one customer, and one store at a time – always trying to be the best at what we do.

We have reinvested in the business to stay true to Gerry’s original vision and we’ve done this with resilience and determination.

Making great coffee takes some doing. So, we built our own Roastery and created a unique award-winning coffee blend (we regularly work on developing new and interesting blends too). And, importantly, we set up our espresso training school – where all our Baristas master the art of coffee making.

This has led to our family-owned and operated business opening more than 800 coffee houses across Europe.
