200 Degrees Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Rushcliffe

This is my favourite coffee shop at the moment — especially in West Bridgford.

As a laptop warrior, I’ve tested out a lot of cafés, but nothing quite matches the feeling I get when I walk into 200 Degrees.

A huge thank you to Ula, Josie, Eleanor, Ed and the many others whose names I haven’t learned yet — you all make me feel so welcome, like I actually belong here. It’s the little things: remembering my name, noticing which seat I like, even somehow keeping up with my constantly changing coffee order. It’s rare. And it means a lot.

Josie, especially, brings something special. I genuinely think she needs a raise. There’s something about the way she carries herself. You can tell the regulars adore her, and I do too. She makes you feel like more than just a customer.

The upstairs balcony is a hidden gem — bright, airy, with a view over the park that somehow slows time down. Downstairs might not be for everyone (some say it’s too dark), but personally I love it. It’s quiet, focused, and has that deep, grounded energy that helps me work.

As someone who’s still new to West Bridgford, this café helped me settle in. There’s a rhythm here. Yoga mums with their kids, catching up in that slow, present way. People reading. No one in a rush. It warms me every time.

The coffee? Always consistent. Always good. I don’t know how, but even during peak hours when the place is busy, my drink arrives hot, smooth, and fast. Never rushed, never sloppy. Just… perfect.

If you’re in West Bridgford — even just passing through — come here. You’ll...

Firstly I would like to say we love 200 degrees in Nottingham city centre, but this one not so much. I’ve recently had a baby and myself & mum came here for some lunch. When we entered all tables were taken up by students/ office workers on laptops with empty coffee cups in front of them. We could not go upstairs as we had the pushchair, the server offered to ask someone to move but then said ‘well there’s a table there’ at the front door when the door was wide open & ‘couldn’t be closed’ we left and went somewhere else but decided to go back and try again as we really wanted to go here .. we waited to see if anyone was ready to leave for a good 5/10 mins and none of the staff said a word and no one left. So again, we left but this time went to Nero. It’s just a shame that staff don’t take ownership of their tables and if someone has sat for a few hours without a coffee etc they should be asked to leave or move for other customers. To be fair, other customers could have gone upstairs seeing as we weren’t able to use the stairs but unless someone asked them to I think they’d sit there all day without a drink in front of them. Looking at other reviews this coffee shop needs some work! Would give...

Sack the manager!! Went there today (29.11.24 around 2.30pm.) What a pathetic excuse for a 'cool' coffeehouse! Rude, unprofessional, dirty staff, with non-smiling attitudes! Small guy making the coffee with blonde unwashed hair and grubby moustache, kept dipping his hands in the coffee and, seen by me, actually let his shirt soak up into a newly made coffee, that he was about to serve to a customer!! He would have said nothing, even though he'd been seen by the manager beside him, until I challenged them....when the coffee cup was put away! Needless to say, I cancelled my order. Absolutely disgusting and suggests that the new owners of this previously independent shop need to get rid of these staff...particularly the manager, and employ others who take more pride in their work and look clean and...
