The 30 Best Store in Southampton

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

“Lovely people don't judge they don't listen to gosip very lovely staff”

“Fantastic vape shop. Friendly, helpful staff who are prepared to spend time with you instead of getting a sale as quickly as possible. Also just brilliant to see a selection of hardware and liquids that cover all the bases but in such a thoughtful way. It's not just some products shoved on shelves, it's a curated collection.”

“Been to window to the womb twice now for our gender scan and 4D, the staff are lovely and friendly. Made the experience both occasions really special and on the gender scan allowed us to use props to make the moment more magical for us to share with others. Would highly recommend to anyone else, especially if you have other children/family who you would like to be present at the scan as they are very accommodating! Thank you again ☺️”

“Excellent. Quick, high quality and good value. Highly recommended.”

“Nice place to buy for wholesale i am dealing with them for long now never had a problem .they really committed and professionals.Ali”

“This was my first visit to the shop, I was greeted by RAF, he was very polite and attentive. He really knew what he was talking about! He advised me on many products and advised which products would suit me! The shop was full of different products, and was well stocked! RAF was very friendly and I highly recommend this shop!”

“Great place to learn music : I have been taught here for 9 years. The owner is passionate about art in general and I have learnt lots - about to do grade 8 next year. Would highly recommend for younger children as the lessons are made fun and interesting and are tailored to each child’s individual needs. I enjoy my time here very much and is perfect for anyone who’s interested in music and art.”

“Possibly the Best company I've ever had communications with. Laura has been great all the way through from 1st day when I bought my hot tub. I've had issues with sorting a delivery date due to landscaping not going to plan, but they have been very understanding & patient. Nothing seems too much trouble. I highly recommend this company & Laura has been amazing.”

“Great experience with Terry today in store. Bought lots of bullion in this shop and I only come to Shirley to see Terry and shop at Cash Creators !”

“Had charging issues. They tested the battery for me and advised the course of action to take. Great service.”

“First class service will use again 100%”

“After getting my hair & beard cut here for a few months now, I’m just gutted that I’ve been missing out for the previous 30 odd years! I decided to make a change after settling for substandard haircuts for so long and it was the best decision. From the first appointment, Kerri listened carefully to my opinions on my hair and then gave a thorough consultation about how we could make it work for me. I’m delighted with the result every time I visit. The conversation is relaxed and enjoyable, you are made to feel like a member of the family and most importantly the hair cut is first class and great value for money. If you’re reading this wondering whether to make the change, do it!! You will not regret it.”

“Always good service here. The wholefoods are decently priced and good quality. Good customer service. Good opening hours. Nice bread. Veg is good. Some of the stuff is expensive but that is to be expected for sustainable vegan produce. A welcome addition to the triangle. Long may it thrive.”

“I love the people that work in here so can I have the young man who works hear! His number? lol”

“I never leave reviews but the people running Vapetime are doing it right. Sameday dispatch on both my orders (even though I paid minutes before the cutoff). They even saved me money on postage by finding a smaller envelope to package my item. They respond to emails within the hour (which you rarely get from other vendors). You honestly can’t go wrong ordering from this place.”

“Julie at the Hedge End store was extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy. We ended up buying a Tempur mattress and were very pleased with the service and welcome we received!”

“I needed some replacement rivet caps for my Thule roof box. I received excellent customer service and a fast turnaround even though it was a small order. I will definitely be coming to these guys when I buy my kayak and would recommend them to anyone.”

“Travelled an hour to visit this particular store after reading the great reviews on Facebook. I was looking into getting a royal python after mine died this year and came away with one! We have a store closer than this, but I wanted to come here and I wasn’t disappointed with the service or set ups. They put the animal first which is what a good store should do. An overall great experience and worth the distance travelled. Very friendly service and they all have great passion and knowledge. Thank you :)”

“Very friendly, great selection of feed. Georgie is an experienced horse woman and is always willing to give sound advice on anything horse related. They also sell feed for the majority of farm animals plus canine/feline related things.”

“Popped in today and had one of the best retail experiences. I would recommend that if you want to buy a pair of shoes that you abandon online and go into the store yourself. The staff are so knowledgeable and lovely to deal with. Thank you, 6 stars for me....”

“Sarah and katlyn are superstars Verry helpful and made sure I got everything in needed just what you want when doing a big order! Thank you again”

“This is the best shop! It's a joy to go into it. The staff are amazing, so knowledgeable, cheerful and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. If they haven't got it they try to order it. During the pandemic they set an example on how to adapt, it was flawless..... if only other shops could be like this!!!!”

“Went in for a sundae and a milkshake with my grandson and he thinks it is the best place place in Southampton. I do too!”

“I recently purchased a car from Jason, and I couldn't be happier. He's a true professional who made the process easy and enjoyable. Jason's knowledge, honesty, and dedication to customer satisfaction are commendable. He helped me find the perfect car and ensured it was in great condition. Jason is the one to go to if you're looking for a trustworthy and skilled car dealer. Thank you, Jason!”

“Visited Elite garages at Northam Rd, Southampton 28/11/2025. Needed 4 tyres which I prebooked online, very happy with the service provided by Gary and his team. Highly recommend these guys, very professional and very friendly. Will deffo book my next MOT and service with them next time too. John”

“Went in here to get a spanner set that was on offer. Fantastic service.”

“My family have been using this shop for many years. Chris is a great bloke, and is always around to help find what you need. The shop is well stocked, and prices are great.”

“I recommend Too Good To Auction Southampton 100%. I purchased my new car last week and received first class customer service from the salesman. This being the first time I had purchased a new car on my own, he made what I was dreading to be a daunting experience effortless! It was refreshing and reassuring to deal with a genuine, helpful and knowledgeable salesperson. I felt at ease and unhurried throughout the process. He answered my many questions, enabling me to make an informed decision about my purchase. I felt confident buying from him and the snows dealership. Thank you for a pleasurable experience.”

“This was our second time at River Studios and won’t be our last. We were lucky enough to have Will and the Black Room both times and cannot recommend them highly enough! This time we spent an awesome afternoon with Will working on two tracks with our two mini guitarists ! He was so enthusiastic and fantastic with both children . Nothing is too much trouble and we came out all having had a fab time and with two great tracks - we will be back for sure! Thanks so much to Will as we all really enjoyed our mini concert and the time you spent teaching the kids how to get the most out of their guitars was so lovely to see . We will see you again soon ! Sharon, Will, Jessica & James”
