Caffe Nero (560 Washington St.)
About
Caffe Nero on Washington Street is a downtown Boston branch of the London-based coffee house chain, which Gerry Ford founded in 1997. Boston has a notable place in the company’s history as the city where Caffe Nero opened its first United States store, in May 2014. The coffee is roasted in the company’s European roastery, and espresso drinks are the core of the menu.
Beyond hot espresso drinks, the café offers iced coffees, blended drinks and frappes, along with breakfast and lunch menus. Like other Nero shops, it is designed for lingering, with a mix of soft leather chairs, café stools and private booths where guests can stay as long as they like. The company emphasizes ethical and sustainable sourcing, careful roasting and expert blending.
