Food was good, we had the full English and veggie full English. Good prices, good portion sizes, and good service. Would come back for breakfast again, though it’s not anything special

S. S.

The retro interior of this restaurant gives you a warm welcome. They have a diverse menu, and is the perfect place to grab breakfast, lunch or brunch! The food is very reasonably priced with good proportions. We ordered "The Vegetarian One" of the full English Breakfast in the morning. It included fried egg and mushroom, charred tomato, 2 hash browns, beans, one vegetarian sausage and two buttered toasted bread. We also ordered a latte. The service was lovely so we're the staff. We left feeling full and happy.

A. O.

This place is nice and clean on entry. The food is yummy too. It is worth every penny spent. Would like to go again. They need to do something about their toilet. If you would eat without using the loo... Then 5star🥳

K. B.

I’m a regular visitor here and can’t praise the service, food and cleanliness highly enough. Staff are friendly and welcoming. A wide variety of menu choices and very reasonable prices. A choice of seating is available indoors and out. It’s popular with many variety of people including disabled wheelchair users with easy access. Highly recommended for all round excellence.

A. S.

Good breakfast food, slightly slow service. Very clean with great drinks. Plenty of booths with large tables which was great.

J. e.

Lovely food for reasonable price. Bit heavy on hollandaise sauce on my pouched eggs but eggs were perfect. Nice staff and quick service. Will probably come back

S. I.

Really strange atmosphere that is like a normal restaurant and a diner at once. The food looked better than it tasted, or at least the curry potato did. Very visually appealing and comfy place though,

m. b.

AMAZING hot chocolate with cream and a flake and how some low with custard. Deeelish! Clean, relaxing and welcoming, friendly staff, quick service. Would definitely go again

A. K.

Been a couple of times to this place. Very clean, friendly service, interestingly last order is at 5.30pm but ah well. Found the full English breakfasts are the best on the menu. Had a jacket potato whilst covered in cheese, was not a mind blowing jacket potato that put me into a food coma. Decent prices, will visit again because it’s a good place to go for a student who wanted a nice place to chill and eat.

M. C.

Decent brunch and coffee, quite good options and nice space and athmosphere !

F. R.

Good place to escape the crowds and have a bite to eat or coffee. We had lunch and tried the burgers. Beer was only a few brands so I was a little disappointed, but still I enjoyed my meal. The decore and atmosphere was enjoyable. Service was friendly and prices were good too.

K. C.

Usually it's hard to find such a versatile place to eat out in a new city. We went looking for a lunch bite and ended up having proper meals (The brunch, battered cod) for the same price (under 10 for a main course). The menu is vast and very appealing. Lots of beautiful seating areas with the retro charm of an American diner. We stayed at the back where I could feed my baby privately and quiet. Cleanliness is at a level I've never seen anywhere else! Staff are welcoming and working hard in a friendly environment. My go to place from now on! Will be recommending to all friends!

C. S.

Very clean environment and efficient staff. When I paid they asked if the food had been OK, I said the eggs benedict could have been warmer and the poached eggs were hard, they seemed to take exception to this and said everyone is different. I said well you did ask and that was my opinion. I would definitely visit again though.

E. L.

Amazing food. Great coffee. Chilled atmosphere. Fully recommend!

P.

Flawless. Eggs royale were spot on, calamari was done really well and large breakfast was really good. Will deffo return!

s. s.

We had a breakfast and all the food we ordered was good. Staff was very friendly with smiley faces and they brought our order very fast.

K. F.

Nice food and fairly quick service however , it was only after we left we realised we was overcharged i think they add their own tip. If you go here best work out your bill first before going to pay. Vegetarian option is not appealing especially the sausage ....erm yes move on.

B. S.

Quick, friendly service, nice meals, especially for children. But the cream to my apple pie tasted slightly rancid. When I complained I was told, maybe cream is not what I like. I eat cream ( plus cake) very often und know perfectly well, when it is gone rancid. So I was not quite happy with the response.

Z. A.

My favourite place in town for a good lunch or breakfast! Never lets you down! Very quick service even when they are busy, food tastes delicious!! Also love the vanilla milkshake, I would 100% recommend it!!

T. W.

Good brunch downtown 😍

C. G.

One of the waiters is really nice. I got a panini with mozzarella, tomato and pesto for £4.70 and added a fried egg in for another £1. Nice light lunch.

R. M.

Good service, educated staff, tasty food! I and my husband enjoyed it!

K. S.

Attentive staff, very clean environment, I had eggs benedict which would have been perfect if the ham had been warmed up. Very pleasant experience and an extensive menu.

S. T.

Tried a new breakfast place and wasn't disappointed, reasonable priced, hot and tasty. My son had the pancakes and ice-cream and was delicious. Nice proper perculated coffee.

M. H.

It's a nicely decorated modern restaurant with good service. But £9.20 for a small breakfast and a coffee is too much. You can have the same at Wetherspoon for under a fiver with free coffee refills.

A. J.

When there for lunch with my family it was fantastic we were so impressed we went back for tea had a double bacon and cheese burger it was the best I have had for a long time service was fast and clean top marks thank you we will be back

E. R.

Food was perfect. Milkshakes are to die for. It has the great makings of a greasy spoon without the grease, it's classy and has a real family feel to the whole place.

C. F.

Great food at good prices with quick service. There are a few outdoor tables too.

M.

Good prices, good fry up, nice atmosphere, clean, just wish there was hand gel available at the til or by the exits.

R. R.

Clean, friendly and spacious! The only thing that bothered me is the coffee, I cant remember if they had flat white on their menu but when they came back with it it was just a standard cappuccino. So if you like specialty coffee served right--and worth the money--then you might need to lower your expectations.

L. B. -. W.

They deserve a full 5 stars.. Ordered a breakfast dish and always have an apprehension in doing so as I feel each time I order eggs, I never know if the egg whites will be served under cooked or the eggs are served over cooked. Just never know. Well, the breakfast was absolutely brilliant! Eggs served over-easy and were cooked perfectly ! The sausage was excellent - English pork sausage. Hubby had a chicken burger and was impressed. Checked juicy and you could see the chips were fried in clean oil. So they deserve a 5! Service was fast and very friendly. We shall be back!

D. H.

Had a lovely breakfast, great place very spacious, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

C. P.

Excellent customer service and well presented food. As a vegetarian it was a treat to have a delicious veggie breakfast.

S. C.

Food okay but the prices are really high. Got quite a surprise when I received the bill. One problem was my friend had literally put her fork down I was still eating and the waitress took my friend's plate away without asking if she had finished. Wasn't good bit rude 😔

h. b.

Lovely friendly place Staff were amazing....food very nice highly recommended..

M. W.

Brilliant food - fair few vegetarian options as well. All day breakfast was amazing, overall great value and great service :D will be coming back!

H. G. P. J. F. H. W. D. F.

Fabulous. Perfect. They will change items within the menu to you wishes. Service is superb. Always polite and friendly. No better place.

P.

Great place for your first meal of the day,"the big one" sets you up well always piping hot, Good friendly staff,Internet not the best but the above makes up for that Peter Sept 2021

L. C.

Very roomy cafe part of the Poppins brand of cafe, offering that slightly more upmarket feel then its branch down the road, upon arrival the very attentive staff will welcome you and grab a high chair for you if needed, great range of breakfast food omelette baguettes full english, myself and friends have tried a variety from there and have never had any issues or problems. Food is always well presented as well great cafe!

V. O.

We’ve just visited this place twice this weekend. The service was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. And the milkshakes were AMAZING.

S. H.

5 of us ate here and everyone loved their choice . No complaints. Can recommend the middle breakfast.

L. K.

I use this restaurant regularly. The food is simple but wonderful. The restaurant is spotlessly clean. The staff are friendly but not pushy. Table service. One small negative there is only 1 toilet, which sparkles. Well done guys x See you soon!

M. H.

Always love it here. Good good served quickly and great service. I go quite often and have never had a bad experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast

D. M.

A lovely breakfast and lovely coffee. Very friendly staff. No issues to swap items in the breakfast. Vegetarian breakfast was awesome.

C. J.

Very bright, aesthetically appealing. Nice selection of food items and service was prompt and friendly. Prices are appropriate for what is on the menu. Absolutely would come again! 😁

S. B.

Lovely and clean. Can't believe its been there 2 years and I've never noticed. It looks brand new inside. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. The menu is things like burgers, sandwiches, panini's omletetes etc. Staff were quick and attentive. Would recommend and will definitely return.

N. S.

It was my first visit, and the place is so cool. I ate the medium breakfast and drank caramel latte.(and it was approx. 8£) And they were tasty and big portion. If I will travel to Southampton again, come back here.

A.

Good veggie breakfast. Standard. What was expected and great eating environment. Very spacious

M. M.

Nice food and quick service. Very and well mannered staff

F. G.

Amazing place for brunches! So quick and delicious

M. L.

Brilliant place for a spot of breakfast. £18 for two people isn't a bad price at all. A large breakfast and a nice cup of coffee. Staff are polite and friendly as well.

r. h.

Great food and drink and reasonably priced. Very quick service fantastic staff 👍 definitely a great place to eat.

R. P.

Simple, cheap food. Don't expect fine dining and they'll look after you.

M. H.

Quality food served by friendly staff I always order 2 of their biggest breakfasts on 1 plate not because the portion sizes are small but because it feeds me for the whole day. Prices very reasonable too

A. F.

Eaten there twice now, nice friendly on the ball staff. Wide menu. Gammon cooked exactly as I asked for. Will definitely be my goto eatery when going to Southampton Centre.

J. P.

A great city centre place to eat. Prompt waiting staff. Food freshly made and very well presented. Never had an issue getting a table.

K. H.

Nice breakfast, not greasy.

s. w.

This is now my new go to place for eating in town, lovely fresh food and very clean Xx

R. S.

Nice little place for a good bit of breakfast . A very tasty fry up 👍🏻

M. I.

Great experience here, Serhan took my order (sorry if I spelt the name wrong) and I wanted to switch a couple of things around and he remembered without a pen and paper and the order was quick to arrive and was a generous helping of everything. I will definitely return as the smoothies are natural and the atmosphere is very pleasant :)

R. H.

The cleanest place I have been to in a very long time. Spotless bathroom, open kitchen and dining area. Friendly and quick service. Very impressed!

m. 4.

My favourite place to grab a breaky I normally do every weekend it's a big place plenty of seats with lovely food and a good cuppa 👌

D. B.

A nice clean and tidy restaurant. The staff were very attentive, one member of staff always in attendance on the floor. Food and drinks we ordered were delicious.

J. H.

This is a standard cafe in the middle of southampton. If you're looking for a no frills cafe where you can spend some time with a loved one, then this is a great place to stop. The food is good, but nothing stands out about it. I would go again if I wasn't craving anything in particular.

K. S.

Great food at a reasonable price, very fast service. Nice and cosy inside, would definitely come back again

T. R.

I think this depends on what you order. Mine was Eggs Benedict which was overcooked eggs with a bland sauce and a slice of processed ham on a bun that was not toasted. My partner had a breakfast order which was acceptable.

C. M.

Good freshly cooked food, great coffee and friendly staff. Plus prices spot on. Would recommend a visit.

a.

Friendly staff, good value and a nice place to eat. The food is of a very basic style however, with nothing homemade, the lasagna for example was just a lump microwaved of goo 😊

M. S.

Had breakfast here this morning can't fault it well cooked and presented. Nice friendly staff and place very clean and welcoming

O. S.

Clean and spacious, friendly staff but no pots of tea.

(Translated) You can taste the standard British food culture. The price is also very reasonable. Why don't you just throw away the troubled stuff? It's not like the food of the Ark Young Cooks is black. (Original) 영국의 표준적인 식문화를 맛볼수 있네요. 가격도 정말 합리적인 편이네요. 끄런뒈 기썽품만 튀껴주는떼 왜 이렿게 싸람이 마니 드러오눈쥐 도줘휘 모루게쓰요. 이런궤 영쿡인들의 식싸 무놔인건지 주뼌에 맣집이 쩡말 엄눈건지 뭐르게쓰요.
