Cafe breakfast in Southampton

“Nice little community cafe, serving well cooked British food. It is around the back of the building so don't be put off that it looks closed from the front. Lots of free car parking.”

“Extremely good price! I got a small english breakfast for only 7£ and it was delicious! All of the food was hot, fresh and so flavorful! The interior is gorgeous and cozy. Staff is attentive and helpful. Will definitely come back again.”

“A gem of a café. Hidden away on an enterprise estate, seek it out as the food is exactly what you hope to find for breakfast, brunch or lunch! Only one smashed avo item on the menu but plenty of bacon, sausages, eggs, cheese, beans and delicious granary toast. Staff are friendly and chatty creating a lovely atmosphere.”

“Dropped in for a caf brunch ended up having a really tasty keto brunch, the wife had eggs and avocado Benedict and kids had cozy meals. Everyone loved their food the service was fast and polite. The cafe was nice and clean. All round we just had a great experience.”

“Really nice visit. Great service and tasty food. We will be back.Highly recommended.”

“Great breakfast, food was cooked beautifully. Had two veggie breakfasts, mint tea and Avo GO Go smoothie, highly recommend.”

“They do a great breakfast, can't complain”

“Hursley Cafe is definitely the café we’ve visited the most since moving to Southampton. With its great value for money, we find ourselves coming here almost every Sunday. This is a record of our visit two weeks ago, after our eldest daughter and her friend finished rugby practice in Eastleigh. We ordered Egg Royale, Lasagne, a Kids’ Meal, Mocha, and Hot Chocolate. The food quality was excellent, and the portions were generous. This café gets extremely busy on Sunday mornings, so we highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation to avoid long waiting times.”

“Wonderful food, huge portions, great value for money. Very welcoming place and clearly very popular with locals.”

“Found this little gem - and didn't expect to find this view on my way out of Totton! Small fishing lodge cafe sitting amidst 3 lakes and beautiful views. Service staff were lovely and attentive; happy to chat but not disturbing at all. Wide variety of milkshakes to choose from, after a lovely Full English Breakfast. Will definitely come back.”

“We dropped in for coffee and stayed for lunch! Our first visit to this lovely cafe but it definitely won't be our last. We arrived just as the morning rush was finishing so we had a choice of tables, our food was cooked fresh (but even so, with minimal delay) and was just how we like it. Excellent to see a good range of healthy options as well as the standard cafe fare, and the prices are reasonable, especially for a prime location. The picture shows my Eggs Royale - the portion size is two of these but I'd eaten one before I remembered to take a picture!”

“Friendly and clean service. Food is made fresh - the chips were nice & crispy with a generous portion. The halloumi burger is the best I've ever had, very tasty! My only negative is that there was no check back by server. Visited 20/09/22”

“Elsabel cafe dose not disappoint had the best afternoon tea for a family gathering I have ever tried. Sandwiches and cakes were so professional and of such a high standard was more like a afternoon tea from a posh New forest establishment. Owner and family could not have done more for us welcoming and friendly made the table soo pretty for my mum's birthday.Would highly recommend a try ,you will be hard pushed to find better even for twice the price .”

“Really enjoyed our breakfast at Bill's. Their big breakfast isn't as big, but was definitely delicious and hence I was able to completely polish it off. They even changed the egg to match my preference. The bacon, baked beans, eggs, mushrooms, and sausages were cooked to perfection. The black pudding however was not my favourite. Their jam and toast martini with vodka was one of my favourite things all day. Definitely try this if you visit.”

“Sitting in conservatory, was very comfortable. We just had cappuccino and cake then later pot of tea and chocolate tiffin. It was very nice. Staff were excellent, carrying a tray of tea/cake for me and clearing table when needed.”

“Wow i ordered 1 time from you. I love kebabs i was eating everywell, but here is very good fresh meat (not from the oil pot) and fresh salats . Loovely. I will take it more times”

“Slightly biased as have been coming here since the early 80s, and although we miss the old style pub, it could have ended up much worse than it is design wise. Food quality is back on an even keel and is consistently of good quality and presentation this taking away that level of apprehension you feel when you go to so many restaurants these days. Shout out to the young ladies and men of the service team who provide a very professional level of service in a pub / restaurant which I know for a fact can suffer from some challenging customers at times...”

“This is a spacious and family-friendly spot for a meal during your visit. It offers a range of food options, including hot meals, sandwiches, salads, and kids' meals, catering to various tastes. The café has plenty of seating with great views of the surrounding zoo and is perfect for a relaxing lunch break. While the prices can be a bit on the higher side, the food quality and variety are good. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to refuel during your day at the zoo.”

“A excellent cafe/bistro situated approx 10 mins walk from Winchester Station. It's a Hip & Happining place to enjoy your food. I had scrambled eggs on toast and it was lovely with a cup of pot of tea. The staff are all very friendly and very polite. Be aware it does get busy so get there early if you can. Most of the seating is inside.”

“Delicious food lovelly staff and a home cooked cakes, possibly the cleanes food anniversary ever seen worth the visit .”

“Great food and super friendly service HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place”

“Located in a quite spot, this place has its own parking so no hassles when you arrive. The menu options are well laid, with table service as standard. The staff is really helpful and polite. I visited with family and was pleasantly surprised that nothing we asked for was too much for them - baby chair, veg options, or tweaking the sandwich that little bit extra. Other than the excellent food, there is a charity hut at the rear garden. You can contribute at the main desk when you come in to the cafe.”

“Have been here many times in last few years. Kate was made well food and nice place for us. Highly recommended her cafe.”

“Wow. Had never been before and went off a trusted friend's recommendation. We had the most lovely evening. They were so accommodating of the fact im in a wheelchair; the restaurant is accessible (however the bathrooms are a little trickier! Thankfully I can walk a little though so it was no issue) My first impression was how homely and welcoming the place was. Then I noticed the cleanliness! Everything was immaculate and looked brand new! We were greeted in and welcomed warmly. The ambience was perfect and the background music was beautiful. Each course came out and was absolutely superb. The starters were actually some of the best food I've ever eaten - we had scallops, duck mousse and the snails - all perfectly cooked and seasoned with the perfect accompaniments. As we sat, enjoying our meal, the restaurant busied and the staff gave the same amount of warmth and service to everyone - greeting many customers like old friends (we assume this means they get a lot of repeat customers!) My husband ordered the cheese board and we were delighted when an entire platter, with an array of cheese was brought out. The waiter asked my husband his taste in cheese and then proceeded to recommend cheeses he thought would be right. He went through the board with such knowledge of the various cheeses and was spot on with every single one he suggested: my husband loved them all! The bathrooms were the cleanest public bathrooms I've ever been in! And this is gonna sound absolutely crazy but it's the first toilet I've ever been to that has really decent toilet roll!! I've stayed in 5 star hotels around the world and never rate the toilet roll but for some of us, well, it's important OK!! There was no pretentiousness and people were dressed in an array of clothing - from smart casual, to a little dressier; so you only need dress up if you feel you want to (we did!) The bill, although a little eye watering, was worth the price completely. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. The portions sizes were more generous than we had expected and we left after 3 courses from their set menu feeling full and very happy! We will 100% be back and highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys fine dining, in comfortable surroundings with all the warmth and personality that you'd expect from an independent family run business.”

“Great take away experience We decided to try food from here and had a lovely range of treats. We went for some humus, falafel, spicy sausages and the sharing mixed grill meze, with plenty of bread included. The food was very well packed and tasted very fresh and flavoursome. The falafel were rather large and a little dry but overall everything was delicious. Lots of food, with a 20% discount bonus for take away service. A great choice and definite addition to our selection of eat out meals... many thanks Baraca”

“Large cafe with plenty of seating, very attentive staff and food came out quickly. Plenty of options of breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner as well as specials and cakes available. Good portion sizes and the food we ordered was tasty. Definitely would come back again.”

“Great service, lovely staff, delicious food, we loved our visit. This place is also dog friendly.”

“Very pleasantly surprised by this kebab. Staff was friendly, the place is pretty, and the food was amazing. Quite a few vegetarian options. I will definitely be back to get more comfort food!”

“Lovely cosy pub. Been here a few times for Sunday lunch and the food is amazing. Very good service. Parking is limited though”
