Caffe Nero - Hillingdon

This is the best place for aircraft spotting. I absolutely adore this place. The coffee is amazing and the pastries are some of the best I've ever had. My favorite is the red velvet cheesecake. The restaurant gets very crowded during peak departure times.

Located in Heathrow Terminal 5, this place is just a short walk from the baggage claim area. They offer delicious coffees and pastries, particularly the butter almond croissant which is a must-try. Adding chocolate powder to the cappuccino enhances its flavor. Meals are served in paper bags instead of plates. Each table also has a charging slot, making it convenient for iOS users to enjoy their meal without worrying about their battery running out. Overall, a great option to kick off your trip in London!

Once you exit the baggage claim area, you'll come across a large coffee shop. However, if you take a few steps to the left, you'll find a much better option at Cafe Nero. With shorter lines and better coffee, you'll be welcomed by a friendly staff. While the happiness of the staff may vary, the food options are delicious and the coffee tastes more authentic.

Fantastic customer service Reagan, many thanks Booster Mango

Early morning coffee fix as I landed in Heathrow. Coffee has always been consistent and they serve a variety of pastries and sandwiches. Cozy seating and nice jazzy music to compliment your coffee too !
