Perfect brunch spot in Southampton

“Hands down the best coffee in Southampton! Great selection of sandwiches and treats, including vegan options - what’s not to like!”

“Spoons had everything unavailable. Went on a stroll. Found Brunch & Barista. I think I’ve found my new favourite place for hangover recovery. Good food. Value for money is great. Service was quick and lovely. We will be back.”

“chicken Koise stew with okra came with generous portion of rice and bubbly thin naan. Perfect for a late lunch and ready immediately with lentil soup as starter. It has a real home-cooked taste as if made with love.”

“Amazing food, cocktails and service! I have a food intolerance and the weighter and manager were amazing! Its my 1st time going to T.G.I Fridays and I would 100% go back when I'm back down.”

“Had a wonderful meal here (Sept 2022) with my partner. I'm vegan, he isn't but we both thought the food and presentation was fantastic. They know their flavours and how to create beautiful dishes! Considering Késarum is a small team, the service was attentive and friendly - it's easy to see they're working really hard to deliver a fine dining experience. Book ahead though as they have limited covers. We'll definitely be visiting again soon!”

“Thank you very much. First time eating pizza from Spitfire today. Really friendly and great value. Traditional and fresh, great tasting pizzas. Definitely recommend over all other pizza take aways. We really enjoyed the ice cream as well, mango is a definite try.”

“Recommend this lovely family coffee shop by word of mouth and think more people need to know about it! Very pet friendly! Coffee was fantastic and all the staff were very knowledgable on the topic and happy to share it! Food was great for the price and a great place for breakfast or brunch! Everything we had to eat and drink was fantastic and very good value for money! Two of us went for brunch and had a drink each and a decent sized meal each and I bought some of there coffee beans to brew at home and it came to £22 which is superb!”

“Lovely cooked food great service and welcoming. Nice atmosphere. Well worth the drive”

“My wife and I had a delicious meal here last night. Not too many photos as we were “hoovering” the food up as soon as it hit the table…as we were due over at Everyman for a film. Started with the Squid Bao, which were fantastic…the squid was tender and there was a spicy sauce on to too. Then I had the 8 hour Rendang Beef, which was soooo tender and the sauce was mouthwatering. My wife had prawn skewers and a watermelon salad and she was just as happy with how it tasted. The portions are generous, the service courteous & friendly and the decor is cozy. We will definitely be back soon.”

“A great cooked breakfast! Pancakes and bacon were delicious and the half English was great too - not fatty at all. At only £4 great value! Quickly cooked and brought to the table. Nice clean cafe.”

“Wonderful fresh food from an independent restaurant. Staff were polite and courteous and the wraps and tapas were amazing. Don’t judge the simple, café like decor as the food is fabulous!”

“I loved this place! They serve really delicious vegan food and great coffee for a very reasonable price, in an immaculately clean and stylish venue, with super friendly staff. I love going out for a treat lunch now and again but hate how noisy cafes can be but this place is so tranquil and calming. No clashing and clinking cups, no loud music and not too much people noise even when it's busy. I really rate this place and am looking forward to going again soon”

“The staff are very polite and have good attention to detail. Came from Southampton just to get a seasonal pastry and latte because of the customer service”

“Had such a lovely meal here last night. Staff couldn't be more helpful, food was totally delicious. Really nice atmosphere, if you have time to linger”

“Was the most scrumptious breakfast had in a while. The way the breakfast tasted, the bacon and eggs are local produce Jacket potato with coronation chicken was lovely Very cute decor Service was quick Clean”

“Amazing restaurant with equally amazing staff (shoutout to Gideon for being so lovely and attentive. As someone who was a bartender and FoH for many years I couldn't commend him more!) and top quality food. Will happily be back to have a drinking night with friends. Incredible atmosphere and even a nice area to have a smoke/vape should you need it. Would rate 10 out of 5 if I could.”

“Wonderful breakfast whilst camping at Woodmill Activity Centre. Sausages were quality. Waffles were yummy. Great service from the South African sounding gentleman and the chef with the beard. Now we know that you are there we will certainly be back!”

“Visited here for the first time on a Saturday morning I had avocado, eggs and bacon on sourdough it was lovely! My husband had the breakfast roll we thoroughly enjoyed it. We also took away 3 slices of cake all of which were very tasty! Totally recommend the staff are so friendly.”

“A delightful surprise, what a lovely place to be with loads of delicious vegan options! Everything we ordered was beyond exquisite! I’m not a cafe or restaurant kind of person but this cafe is definitely worth anyone’s visit! Loved it loved it loved it!”

“First time here. Fab ales and cider. Perfect place for a drink on a nice summer's day!”

“Very friendly place. Didn't have to wait to be seated. Staff were helpful with the menu. Food was served quite quickly even though they were busy.”

“An upper scale Indian experience in the heart of High street Southampton. Who would have thought a thousands years ago that there would be an awesome Indian restaurant right beside the venerable Red Lion! Friendly and engaging owner and attentive service. If the poppadums are excellent as a starter then all else follows suit, the butter chicken's sauce has depth in its flavour, the starters from the monkfish, to the kur Kur crab, scallops, are very good. Several Naan options and the plain one is already good. Wash it down with mango Lassi which is also great. Can get busy so reservations are recommended.”

“First time ordering takeaway from here but can honestly say what we had was delicious. I ordered the King Prawn dansak which was one of the tastiest curries I have had in a long time , my partner had a vegetable Rogon Josh which was also very tasty. Because the price was so good we over ordered with other sundries ! ... Will definitively order our Indian from this takeaway from now on .. Highly recommended from us .”

“The best Thai food we’ve had! My partner and I are die hard Thai food fans, we have tried multiple restaurants across the South Coast and Pan Tip is by FAR the best. We aren’t local but we are more than happy to travel for the food. The owner is so lovely, so welcoming and friendly. The food is phenomenal. So authentic. We rave about this place to everybody we know!”

“Ordered starters and dessert. Fantastic service, music, food is amazing and great value. The wife was happy so made my life much easier :). We will be back!!! Thank you!”

“Absolutely 5* here. They go over and beyond what is expected. Nothing is too much. Great value for money. Fresh mouth watering food. Good range of food. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.”

“Really nice and cosy coffee shop. The kitchen was closed but we had really good tea and cake. We couldn't decide on the cake so the lady gave us an extra slice which was really nice of her.”

“Amazing food for the 2nd time! Very tasty! Great service and love the set 2 course menu”

“React food Good atmosphere Loved the place we has starters like tabbola and hummus The mixed grill and the Tagine Moroccan style was great to enjoy We had few drinks Will go back if I am in the area”

“Lovely country pub, good selection of drinks. Very large child friendly beer garden at the front with pizza oven”
