   Beautiful modern cafe (it's pink in some older Google Maps photos but is now a gorgeous burgundy and wood design). Coffee was fab though their current bean was a little fruity. Best place I visited in Nottingham!

   How has it taken me so long to visit this place!? Wow, the coffee is incredible. Had the Tanat Finca Milan as a flat white and it was superb. I'll be back to try more exotic brews as soon as possible!

   Four words. The peach iced tea! Absolutely delicious and delightful. Pastry’s are tasty and well priced. Good staff and atmosphere. Came in 2 days in a row.

   The only reason for giving three stars is because of how unreasonably they charge £6 for an affogato and all it was a simple wee little cup with a scoop of gelato. I mean for the price i paid i was expecting atleast a good portion. Apart from that exceptional quality of espresso and gelato and the service and atmosphere were genuinely lovely. The only thing that bothered me was the price. I mean come on 6 quids for that, thats unfair.

   This is a really nice café. The cinnamon croissants were so good! The place is a bit small and dark. I wish it had lighter paint to brighten it up. The staff was so welcoming and nice.

   Staff were extremely friendly, I love the cafe vibes. It is definitely unique and has got lovely colors and interior. Something that you need to see more often in the UK because living here is depressing af. We need more places in the UK that is bright and colorful and this place is cute. I loved their turmeric latte, and i was surprised that it will be this good tbh! Definitely recommend this place. Only downside is they only offer oat milk as an alternative/substitute. It would’ve been nice if they added more to their range like coconut milk cause that’s my go to. Otherwise it is a must try coffee shop.

   Small café with a small selection of cakes. None of them were labelled up when we went, so we had to ask what they all were! (Also, they were behind the counter uncovered, which I am not a massive fan of!) Coffee not to my taste, but my partner thought it was okay. Think it was in the process of being done up when we went, so it could've been an off day! Might try again another time if we are in the area.

   Stumbled upon Effy when wandering around Nottingham. I asked a barista in another establishment which coffee house they preferred in town and they recommended Effy. Having visited a few times now I can highly recommend a visit if you’re a coffee lover, they have some delicious locally made cakes and the hot chocolate is an indulgence.

   Several people have recommended Effy worth a visit. A couple of days ago I paid a visit, my first visit. My first impression stuffy, as can be seen from the steamed up windows. They need better ventilation, especially during coronavirus pandemic. Awful lighting, a dull pink glow, which makes feel as though eyes are not functioning correctly. Coffee on sale on the shelves Manhattan, a roastery in Rotterdam. Though not what I was served. Difficult to read what was written on the bags due to poor lighting. Also on the shelves limited selection of coffee paraphernalia. A few cakes on display. Whether food served or not, I do not know and did not ask. I ordered a cappuccino. Bailies, a roastery in Ireland that I was familiar with. Short lived Flat Whites served Bailies as a guest coffee. The only coffee shop I have seen an Origami in use other than in Athens, though not on sale. Using Kalita wave filter papers. Knowledgeable and helpful barista. Too busy to try, I left a few coffee beans of the coffee I had with me. On leaving a couple of people outside undecided. I advised worth a visit, excellent coffee. We now have four excellent coffee shops in Nottingham - Effy - The Specialty Coffee Shop - Kigali - Cartwheel Coffee All within a few minutes walk of each other, a few minutes walk from Nottingham Station. From Kigali worth a detour to Sneinton Market to Luisa’s bean-to-bar craft chocolate and Neon Raptor craft beer brewery. Kigali is located in Hockley, many interesting indie businesses. If looking to eat try Paste (Thai restaurant) or Ugly Bread Bakery.
