Caffexpresso in Southampton

I’ve lived in Southampton for many years and I’ve just heard of the sad news about this place that is due to close down via the Echo. It’s been a pillar of the community for years and offered food to the needy, a place to relax and enjoy all things art related. I hope there may be an opportunity for an alternative venue elsewhere in the future. Good luck.

I came here last night with my work family. Our waiter Beannie was amazing, she was given huge drink and food orders and remembered who had ordered what when she bought them to our table, she was friendly and attentive throughout the evening and even came to say goodbye when her shift finished. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was brilliant, we really had a great night, I personally will be coming back for one of your Reggae roast dinners.x

Fuimos a una fiesta de Navidad de obras qué lugar tan fabuloso para empezar, la comida de 3 platos estaba bien presentada, delicioso no tenía un curso tan divino en años. Todo el personal atento, servicial y educado. Tenía cantante y un DJ que proporcionaba gran entretenimiento. Nos hizo bailar a todos. Luego abajo había otro DJ que era fenomenal y bailamos el resto de la noche. Esperamos que estemos reservados para volver el año que viene.

I have booked the third floor for a private event (wedding party) for May '24, we paid our deposit and suddenly the restaurant closed without being contacted directly to let us know this will happen and to give us our money back, neither to be aware that we will have to find another place for our wedding party! We keep sending emails to head quarters and no answer. YOU STOLE FROM US. WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK!!!!!!

A gorgeous venue is being wasted by incompetent staff. Hugely overpriced - nearly £16 for one beer and one wine. The bartender tried to mix two different pinot rose wines with totally different labels in my glass and only didn't do so when I challenged her. We were ignored on several occasions at the bar - I had to say excuse me twice to get attention when the manager (!) and another bartender were doing things like fixing one of the two tills. I challenged the prices and the wine issue with the manager and was offered nothing by way of apology. DON'T GO unless you want to be treated poorly and rudely and also get ripped off by extortionate prices in the process.
