The most fabulous place for breakfast, lunch, dinner or refreshments- the team are all lovely, polite and funny. Poppins portswood is a pillar of the community and I love coming in for my multiple drinks every weekend with Ozzi and his team☺️

The service was perfect. The staff were friendly. The place was reasonably full but felt relaxed. The coffee was good. The vegan breakfast was frankly remarkably good. A lot of places, the vegan option is bland and dull and dry. This was imaginative, colourful, varied and a generous portion size. It was pretty much an ideal dining experience and I was impressed. If you are looking for a casual dining experience in the area, this would be a good choice.

This cafe is one of the best around Southampton, the customer service is impeccable and so is the food. There is always an upbeat atmosphere when I go in, the food is always prompt and hot. The music playing is a good selection of trending and at a right volume level which I enjoy greatly. The milkshakes here are to die for honestly. The manager of the store is really friendly and always remembers people’s names and orders of regulars which I think is so cute, I’ve often seen him dancing with customers too it’s so sweet. I’ve been coming here since I was a child and the service and quality of food has never faltered ☺️

Aparcamiento más cercano a una distancia de la calle lateral y solo pequeño coche - aparcamiento. Tendrás suerte de tener una bahía callejera afuera, como siempre muy transitada carretera. Poppins pequeños en comparación con otros. Limpio, bien dispuesto. Servicio de mesa, y el camarero llega muy pronto a sentarse para tomar órdenes. Precios muy razonables, comidas típicas británicas y estadounidenses, como los viejos días Wimpy. Personal agradable. Calidad de los alimentos muy buena, porciones de tamaño bastante decente para los precios que cobran. Puede estar ocupado dentro.

Ordered a full English breakfast, sausages tasteless and bacon far to salty… then to top it off we had ANTS floating in our drinks… complained to be told the ants come into the machine for the sugar… so not only do they know about it they are still serving Pepsi drinks.. utterly disgusting and will never eat there again.. I wonder if they have ANTS, where else are they..

A very good friend of mine that is homeless went in for a cup of tea. He was refused a free refill, ok fine, but he was then charged £3.50 for hot water to add to his teapot. And was then told by the person working there that he was once homeless but still had to pay for his tea. Surely if you’ve been there you’d understand and have some compassion??

Food was ok, everything looked clean but whatever you do don’t order individual items as we ordered what could have been large breakfast by swapping a few items. 3 eggs, 3 bacon, 3 hash browns, beans and coffee x2 =£39 needless to say won’t be going back and at least 15 local people I know have said they will not go there now because of this. Shame as it’s not a bad place

I attended this place. To be dished up burnt stale eggs, my black pudding was tortured. So burnt it was just crumbling into my plate. My sausages was rock solid. Had a hard time putting a knife through them. When I expressed my concerns with the staff. They was gormless and ignorant. Not willing to help or resolve the issue so had to stand up and leave. This place has no respect. Has gone completely down hill and lost there respect for customers. Defiantly do not recommend attended this cafe. It will ruin your day out.

Very good lunch here today….so impressed. Pan fried haddock was super fresh and perfectly cooked. And the homemade pies are really cracking stuff. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, with very chatty and friendly owner. I plan to make a special trip here for lunch every time I find myself in Southampton. Why eat junk in the high street when you can escape the madness and have a proper lunch here next to the water. For those who may be put off by parking, it’s free for 2 hours so no need to panic!
