Chippenham Coffee No1 does the best latte I have ever had but unfortunately their staff put me off, they are so grouchy. It's happened too many times now. I won't be going back for a while.

Popped into coffee#1 Cwmbrân today for a latte and carrot cake. BIG mistake! I asked for a latte ‘not too hot’. The first one was served in a disgusting dirty cup; the replacement (after I complained) was not much better and the coffee was less than tepid. Carrot cake was OK but dry. While waiting for my replacement coffee, a milk carton fell of a trolley being moved by a member of staff and I got splattered in milk. NEVER going back!

👎👎👎👎

I applied for a job here a few months ago. The company never took the time to confirm that they had received my application, or send me a rejection email (not even an automated one). However, I now receive automated emails, titled "Anniversary Reminder", informing me that it's been 6 months since I last applied for a vacancy and prompting me to continue using their system. Honestly, I think it's insulting.

Exceptional staff

I find staff at all the coffee#1 cafe's I have visited very friendly and always helpful. Visited coffee#1 in bath, the ladies there were helpful and cheerful. It is so nice to visit a place and feeling really welcomed. Great staff there.

The new coffee # 1 shop has a lovely interior and very helpful staff , but when it comes to the coffee we’ve on average 24 between 2 of us but 16 of these drinks have been cold when we’ve been asking for extra hot , we went today 04/09/26 and I could drink mine straight down
Surely it’s not rocket science to make a hot drink but some of the staff find this a hard task , I’ve spoken to the area manager and the manager of the store but still getting cold coffee , we will probably stick to PAU opposite or Cadwaladers, shame really as it’s a really nice place , coffee tastes great it’s just cold

Went to the new shop at Trentham…

Went to the new shop at Trentham shopping village Stoke on Trent. Had to wait ages for my coffee and asked where it was to be told they had lost the order. I asked how this could happen to which the lady in charge today as the manager was off said “ we’ve only been open two days and you can see that we are busy” quite matter of fact
When I asked for a number for head office she said get it off the website. I said I’d rather she sourced it there to which she said I might be able to get it. Her attitude stank! For a new shop she was most unwelcoming
Very poor! I’ll stick to cadwalders and PAU in future

The Nottingham branch is my favourite coffee shop ever, I go in on a Monday morning with my daughter and grandson, before we go to baby group, the hot coffee is gorgeous, the iced coffee is lovely, but my favourite drink is the raspberry iced tea. The cakes we've tried have been amazing. The ladies who work there are amazing, they're so helpful, friendly and give the warmest welcome..

Terrible customer service

I’d like to complain about your customer service and your promotions being misleading in your Bristol Central store. You had a sign up saying £1 matcha with the app, I asked if it was on and I was told no, the staff member was rude when I said why is the sign up if you’re not running the promotion and then said “well you can try it if you want”. It didn’t work. Wasted my time queuing - there also seemed to be 4 members of staff on 1 serving - really poor customer service and lack of knowledge of signage and promotion!

We use Coffee#1 in Ross on Wye regularly. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful and the drinks and cakes are fab. We go most weeks and sometimes use the Hereford store too which is also great.

Cashless Stores

I’m very unhappy that all of the stores have gone cashless and the quality of the coffee has also gone downhill on top of that. I’m not gonna visit another coffee one shop moving forward as this is a disgrace. Cash should be reinstated.

Don’t usually go here because it’s annoying returning the £1.50 cup - today at lunch time as well as yesterday the same girl serving was just chatting whilst myself and others waited in a queue for her to finishing having a chin wag
