Was busy but well managed Jacket potato was not as nice as expected it to be. Cheese could have been melted on the baguette rather than sliced in baguette. Otherwise a good first first experience.

First time having breakfast at Boswell's and we've agreed it's the best in the area! Coffee was one of those that makes you sad to get to the end as there's none left! Staff were friendly and service was quick with no fuss. Highly recommend!

Lovely lemon drizzle cake. Friendly staff. Only downside was the smell of the cooking oil - smelt like it was maybe due for a change.

What a disappointment, have visited before but this time was not good sadly. Coconut milk latte, and two ham and cheese croissants ordered. Lovely staff, order came quickly but not good. My coffee had no flavour at all, the croissants were nice enough but the salad was warm and limp totally inedible. We didn't have time to reorder otherwise we would have done. Such a shame

Visiting family in Eastleigh and they suggested breakfast at Boswells. This was my first visit and their English breakfast and tea was good esp as they swapped out the beans for mushroons for no additional charge. Would definitely go again.

Firm family favourite. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Decided to have the club sandwich and I was not disappointed. Fresh, tasty, and toasted just right. A proper traditional Club Sandwich completebwith three slices of bread and a proper slice of chicken breast. Definitely recommend.

Situated in the Swan centre in Eastleigh the place was very busy. You can see why while queuing up to place your order you can see a selection of all the savoury foods on display followed by sweet selections that makes it very inviting. I see many people order the all day breakfast that looks fresh. But I fancied the look of the festive menu and went with the turkey club sandwich, along with gingerbread latte and bowl of chips. The menu failed to mention or I missed it that the sandwich came with tortilla chips so I did over order. The staff were all very friendly, fast and efficient. Service with a smile. The sandwich was delivered to the table and it was very full to bursting with lettuce leaking out the side. There is a generous amount of turkey, bacon, lovely oozy brie and cranberry sauce sandwiched in 3 slices of toasted bread. A big bite is needed to get a taste of it all but definitely a classic combination done right. The chips were pretty standard fair, portion was good and the gingerbread latte hit the spot. Very nice, I will certainly visit again to try other items on the menu.

Went in yesterday morning with my parents and the breakfast was lovely, but it was one member of staff that had let it down for us hence why I have only given this cafe 4 stars. I have complained about her several times and have been told that she will be spoken to but she just has the same attitude every time we go in there. If something isn’t done about this then my parents and I will have no choice but to go somewhere else.

The chicken in grilled chicken and bacon was not grilled. Bacon was tasty. Unfortunately, salad was not fresh. A girl taking an order was very friendly with high standards of customer service. A lady at the till less friendly. The place was noisy but very busy, so that was expected.

First time visiting Boswells whilst in the area and certainly the last time. For a cup of tea and coffee it was just over £6, service was slow but it does get very busy at lunch time. When my partner was given the drinks on a tray this was dirty and had not even been wiped the table was also sticky.

Food looked and tasted amazing, fresh salad and lasagne made from scratch. Portions perfect, not too big, not too small. Happy and polite staff. I spent more then expected but definitely worth the money for the quality of food and service. Highly recommended

We stopped here whilst out for lunch with friends. Decent cafe with large seating area and extensive menu, there is also extra seating in the main shopping area just outside the cafe which is where we sat. There is a lot to choose from here from cakes and pastries to toasted sandwiches, paninis and proper cooked meals; the selection of drinks is also extensive. The food was quite good although one particular Cherry Bakewell was a little suspect. The coffee was nice, I had a decent biscoff milkshake. All in all I’d recommend a visit if you’re in the area and need some food and a coffee.

While queueing up, we crossed everything in the hope that the girl with blonde hair in side bunches draped over her shoulders WAS NOT going to be serving us or preparing our food! (Kirsty?) Food Hygiene isnt complicated and not sure why she would think it acceptable to have her hair dangling above the food wherever she went?! Why didn't management pick this up? Would probably consider going elsewhere as if that was front of house, which made us quite uncomfortable about what other things might be missed? Shame, as the breakfast was quite nice and went down a treat.

Staff friendly and helpful and I'm sure they would have sorted if I asked... but you don't always want to make a fuss! (quality control isn't the customers job after all)

The staff are friendly and are great at their job, personally they go above and beyond. Me and my girlfriend have been to this cafe multiple times and the staff especially Ali has been really nice and welcoming to us. Even so that she remember what we usually orders! The price isn't too much in comparison to other food stores close by, but it isn't the cheapest. The cafe itself has a great atmosphere, always clean and the food / drink (s) are always worth the value. I will be returning here again.

I was looking for somewhere for an evening meal. Went here and remembered I had been here before (2023 - good on that occasion as well). Place was very quite on a Tuesday night, but still serving food. Looked at the menu (lots of choice) and went for the beef fajitas. Was asked how I would like the meat cooked. Did not wait long for food to come to table and it was a really large meal, beef with peppers and onions and 3 wraps (as well as sour cream, gucamole and salsa). Really tasty meat and vegetables, the meal was great and very filling. Got this meal and a pint of lager for less than £22.00

We hired the marquee at the weekend and it was the perfect place to celebrate our daughter's 18th birthday. The manager Sam and her team went out of their way to make sure the evening was a success. The food was great and by chance there was a DJ playing the same evening which added to the party vibe! Thank you Sam and team 😊
