The Chapel in New Forest

Love going to the Chapel, lovely service, my kids LOVE the treasure box too and the drinks / food are amazing!! Would definitely recommend!

Laura and her team were very attentive and made the celebration of life for our loved one very special. They laid on a lovely afternoon tea at 10.30 am which was fresh and tasty . Totally hit the right vibe and we are very grateful x

We really enjoyed our lunch in a very pleasant environment and atmosphere. Sandwiches made to order with trimmings. Excellent staff and food.

Our first visit to the Chapel - midday on a Saturday. Nicely decorated, very clean and fresh, plenty of tables and chairs. A warm friendly welcome and the coffee was very good too!

It really is a little gem in the community. Fabulous sandwiches/panini’s with gf options at no extra charge and no trade off on taste. Free WiFi and a great brew - will always return and recommend. Well done to volunteer Sarah today :)

Went here for coffee. Parking just by the side, toilets available and nice atmosphere. Prices very reasonable. I recommend you visit.

The cafe serves the local community, and is an excellent place for seniors or mums with small children to meet up. Prices are very reasonable. There is also a small good quality charity shop attached.

This is the perfect place, if you're meeting friends or out with your family or even on your own, you are made very welcome. Wide variety of tea's and coffee's the cakes are delious and there is a varied menu. The staff are always welcoming.

A small family friendly cafe serving a varied lunch menu plus teas and yummy locally homemade cakes. There is a great kids menu and they serve mini hot chocolate 'A Chapalino' and child size milk shakes. The only shame is that its not open after 3.30pm. There is a baby change, high chairs and even children's cutlery readily available to. Run by a team of volunteers for YFM charity group, as well as the Café, it is a children's toys and clothes charity shop.

Ladies serving very helpful. Inexpensive lunch. Varied menu. Delicious and serving the community too.

Very local and friendly coffee shop. Good service with friendly staff plus of course a good cup of decent coffee.

This is the best cafe/ coffee/charity shop in Totton Hants. Fabulous cakes and coffee and food made to order to cater for individual preferences. Caters for gluten free. Loved the soya latte. Staff are charming friendly attentive and very welcoming. Bright and fresh decor and spotlessly clean. Have visited frequently and been impressed by excellence all round.

We meet here as a social group every Wednesday morning and we are always welcomed with open arms. The staff are a lovely bunch, always friendly and professional. The beverages are always lovely and hot, food is tasty too x Visit for a cuppa and a cake you will not be disappointed x

Always very friendly, good prices and lovely atmosphere, the children can play while mums and dads enjoy a coffee

Met friend for lunch had a lovely time , bakewell cake was divine, had cheese and ham panini with onion chutney enjoyed and it was very tasty, the coffee was great, the chapel was and is a great place to have a lunch break and catch up

This little gem is a guilty pleasure. If you want a quick sandwich take away on the move or a hearty breakfast clean honest I suggest you try it I am confident you will go again I got me Decent a pair of Doctor Martens give it a go might get a bargain Yippee

Had a pre Christmas catch up with a friend before Christmas. This is the first time I have been to the the chapel and was very impressed. A lovely community feel where everyone is made to feel welcome.

A cafe, second hand clothes shop, and meeting place for small groups. It is a fantastic friendly place to have coffee or lunch. My favourite is: Soup of the day plus a sandwich( from an extensive selection ). Delicious . A wonderful social enterprise initiative.

Lovely old chapel in Totton turned into a wonderful community cafe and meeting place. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and great cakes! What more could you want?

Myself and a friend popped in here for a quick bite to eat. We were so so impressed! I don't think I'll be going anywhere else in totton now for a snack! Lovely sandwiches, which a wide variety of fillings: I had bacon, cheddar and pesto. We spent three hours in there chatting. Then found room for homemade cakes! Families are encouraged and there are lots for the children to play with. Such a genuinely lovely place with lots of volunteer helpers. I can't wait to come back !

I love The Chapel - the food is lovely, it's good value, the people are friendly, and the ethos is...

Este es un pequeño y encantador café. Escondido en una parte residencial de Totton, ofrece un gran pequeño paraíso con tartas fabulosas y un servicio amable. Es muy bueno para los niños y a mis hijos les encanta visitar. Los precios son muy razonables y...

La capilla es simplemente fantástico, a la derecha. Una joya en Totton Gran lugar para reunirse con amigos, especialmente si eres un nuevo madre. Tartas simplemente increíble, que están literalmente imposible de resistir.

A 10 minutos a pie del centro de la ciudad de totton, pero merece la pena. En una capilla bien transformado, que le da un ambiente iluminado y ventilado dentro, este es un cafe la caridad que ayuda a los discapacitados y desfavorecidos local algunos que trabajan allí de vez en cuando. Bocadillos, pasteles, café y una selección de tés perfectamente bueno, personal amable y eficiente.

La capilla tiene un aspecto encantador y queríamos. Por desgracia, el pastel fue decepcionante (esponja) y casi malos nadie vino para comprobar que estaba bien, de lo contrario nos hubiera dicho. Los precios son muy razonables.

En una zona residencial un poco alejado del centro, este lugar es ideal para una comida informal o una bebida y un pastel. En una capilla pequeña y también vende libros de segunda mano, entre otras cosas, el personal es muy acogedor y sirve sándwiches recién hechos, paninis, sopa y tortas.

We love coming here! There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere and it's all so welcoming! They have lovely charity items for sale as well! Great place for children as well! The cakes are really delicious! You really get a community feeling when you come here :)

Prior to The CHAPEL existing as the wonderful coffee shop it is now it was a church.On the 25th March I organised a reunion of Sunday School pupils mainly via Facebook.Laura and Debbie ( Staff of The Chapel) helped make the event a tremendous success.We had folk who had attended in the 1940's,50's,60's,70's and 80's celebrating with tea,coffee and lovely cakes!! Perfect venue for a perfect celebration of the past!!

Loved our visit to the chapel.The good:- friendly staff- great and tasty sandwiches/cake at fab prices- all proceeds go to charity - love the building which is an actual chapel that has been converted and tastefully decorated to a modern standard- free parking - free WifiThe bad:NOTHING

I came here for the first time with a friend and her daughter today. It is a fab little cafe. That staff are very friendly. The cafe is very clean and beautifully presented. The menu is very reasonably priced and although we didn't have cake, they all looked amazing! Really well set up for young children with books and toys for them to play with. I will definitely be going back.

This is the place to go if you wish to both support a good cause and have a light lunch or snack. Very family orientated and children of all ages are welcome. Food is nice and fresh and good value for money. Lovely atmosphere.

Out for the day with my granddaughter, and the only place she wanted to go to for lunch was The Chapel. Didn't disapoint, great welcome, great service and the food is excellent.

lovely friendly café with excellent food and drink staff where really friendly will defiantly go again

she is good boss she is to be with I like work there is good the food is good I like have it there with all the staff

My two children and I had some time before an appointment in Totton and found this café on the internet. It truly is fabulous. The children played with all the toys available in the front of the café and I enjoyed a delicious Latte. The staff were really helpful and accommodating. They even packed up our leftovers when we realised we had to rush to our appointment. Great food as well - the children enjoyed their toasties and the cake was absolutely delicious! I just wish we lived closer but we will definitely be back again.

This is a very friendly cafe with good service and home cooked food. The cakes are amazing. Believe me as I've tried most of them!!! There is a craft group that meets on Monday lunch times and a Tuesday evening sewing group. There is also colouring for children supplied. The manager and staff work well together and this is a place I go to when I feel I need some company and a friendly chat. Please do visit................I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!!

After recently moving into the area this has be a fantastic find for us. Community help with wonderful food

I joined a group which is run by the local church hall called "TIDES" its a free group to be with other friends to share and care their thought we were invited to join the group at The chapel for a Christmas get togetherit is run by volunteers except the Manager great food friendly also has a little charity shopplease try it you will not be dissapointed

Excellent place for a nice coffee and croissant! Free WiFi enables the clients to stay connected. The freshly prepared paninis are very good value.

Excellent place for coffee,lunch or afternoon tea.Great menu selection at excellent prices.Staff mostly volunteers are amazing !! Even has chocolate spread and peanut butter every childs wish in a sandwich!!

Had the most amazing family lunch in The Chapel last week. Beautifully decorated inside; very modern and calming. We were able to take our seat and order at the counter with a lovely lunchtime menu to choose from and very accommodating staff who had absolutely no problem making my partner the biggest toasted sandwich imaginable!! Our panini and toasted sandwich came quickly and was served beautifully on lovely little wooden chopping boards with a side-salad and crisps. Everything came exactly as ordered and we were so impressed. Also so reasonably priced. Very friendly atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be stopping by next time we are down in Southampton! Thanks to Laura and her fab team!

First visit today as we wanted to try somewhere different for a hot drink...Very pleasant little place which was spotless and brightly decorated...Extremely reasonable prices..There is small car park at the side to save blocking the street....Many thanks to Laura and Jacob for their friendly welcome....we will return !!!

Looked up this coffee shop on line as was visiting yesterday 6th Aug, Laura was lovely and very accommodating to our dietary requirements. The coffee shop is bright and very welcoming. We will definitely be visiting again next time we are in the area.

The Chapel is the place to go to if you want value for money, with different varities of coffees, And a superb selection of cakes, it is hard to choose which to taste.They serve a good selections of sandwiches.Laura is very welcoming and has a friendly word for everyone who comes there, and all the volunteers are helpfulA great place to go to enjoy coffee and cake

I'm so impressed by The Chapel. I've been a few times when in the area. Big Likes...Good quality coffees and lattes (I'm quite fussy) which are hot and consistent.Cake - I struggle to decide which cake to have as I've never been disappointed. The service - welcoming yet professional. Laura esp is friendly, grounded and helpful.It's very well priced. I've been on my own before and felt comfortable enough to just sit for a while. The mix of customers - It's child friendly but there have always been lots of people (Young and old) with no children.Other things - it's always been clean (no coffee rings or unwelcome toilets when I've visited), there is an area to buy things and that the children who come in quietly play with the toys for sale.

Saw this on TripAdvisor thought we must try as we go to Totton every day so pleased we did fabulous old chapel and such a lovely lady that runs it had hot sausage rolls straight from the oven what is so good a lot of the money goes to charity we will definitely be back and I hope you get a lot of new business from the people of Totton chris & roy

Myself and my partner read about The Chapel on here and decided to pop down for coffee and cake The Chapel is very clean and the decor is lovely .There is a grate choice of cakes and and sandwiches. What a wonderful place ,grate food and fab coffee. Laura the manager was lovely and you could see how passionate she is about the The Chapel and all the Charity work they do here We will definitely be back and will recommend our friends in totton Keep up the amazing work you all do ...Roy & Chris

Lovely little cafe. I didn't know that it existed until a couple of days ago! The staff are friendly and efficient. The paninis are delicious. They have decaffeinated tea and coffee available and gluten free products. Did a bit of cake testing whilst we were there. Loved them all - carrot cake, chocolate brownie, salted caramel cake and lemon cake. Great atmosphere. Love that the profits are ploughed back into the community. We shall be back

I came across the Chapel via TripAdvisor and too my dad down for a coffee and toasted sandwich. It's a beautiful old chapel renovated into a cafe come charity, it's community run had a lovely feel to it. Would happily return.

The coffee is great, the toasties are amazing (chicken, bacon, mayo and sweet chilli - a must try) and love the fact that the money goes to the community! Staff and service is great. a must try!!

What a great idea for a local charity to offer a superb cafe and raise money - the only place like it in Totton with an up-market feel to it in a lovely building.Very clean with very reasonable prices, a good range of teas, coffee, cakes and different sandwiches. Waffles on a Wednesday too! They also have a loyalty card.There are clothes, books, toys, shoes etc to buy and you can take stuff along to donate.The staff ensure everyone is happy, child friendly, even their own car park - which is a lot easier than trying to park elsewhere in Totton!

Great place to go to meet friends, take young children, take older family members, to study or for business meetings.The team of volunteers do a great job, they work really hard to please the customers and create a friendly atmosphere. It is great to have a local charity project!The food is lovely and the Waffle Wednesdays is great!

Excellent local charity run cafe, beautifully clean and tidy, children can play with the toys / books on sale in the charity shop with no obligation to buy! Lovely selection of charity goods always being updated with monthly table top sales to pick up fabulous bargains. Wide Choice of sandwiches, paninis, soups, cakes with great choices of hot drinks at very reasonable prices! Lovely treat without breaking the bank!The chapel is run by YFM staff and volunteers who are always very welcoming, genuine caring community support, friendly and a hidden gem! A must to seek out and find! They also run a loyalty card offering a free hot drink, pop in you won't be disappointed!

Lovely toasted bacon sandwich which was served quickly. Also had a nice milkshake and slice of lemon cake - also very nice. Tables clean and nice arrangement (not too packed in). Have been there several times. It's always nice and there's a good selection of sandwiches, paninis and cakes.There are things to buy and look at whilst you are there.

We often stop off here on the way home from school for a treat. Very helpful and friendly. Only downside is the closing time at 4, means we have to rush but otherwise it's a lovely place.

Took a trip here with family as its run by people from or local church and was blown away by the value for money! Five us ate for under £10! Great selection of food and everything is beautifully presented. This is a lovely place to go for a quick bite to eat and all the money helps a great cause! Definitely would recommend

A great place to meet friends and catch up over coffee and cake, of which there is a good selection of both.

Lovely atmosphere, great coffee, cake and snacks. Activities very often put on for children, table top sales and fashion parades for adults. Also clothes, toys and bric-a-brac for sale. The staff are very welcoming.

The Chapel is a lovely place to meet friends for coffee or lunch. The staff are very friendly. There is also a small charity shop at the back of the cafe. All profits go to charity. YFM supports local people in Totton.

Good coffee, hot drinks, cakes etc...for a good cause in community setting. What's not to like? Go to place for a good cup of coffee now. Please give it a try. Staff friendly and helpful. Setting bright and airy with a bit of character. Very nice.

Lovely little place and far better than Costa ! Prices are fab and food delicious , great community feel .

This is such a lovely community focused place. The staff are friendly and the food selection is great. Keep up the hard work you are doing a great job!

What a lovely, friendly place to stop and have a bite to eat with friends. Such inspiration, to transform an old chapel into a cafe/charity shop and so beautifully done. The food was gorgeous and they even offer a loyalty card. Will definitely return. Well Done to all who worked on this project.

With a variety of food on offer that can only equal a bakery and cafe combined, the chapel is beautiful presented. The charity shop area is well stocked and sorted and the staff are unbelievably friendly and welcoming.

A homely, community cafe with an opportunity to become a regular place for folks to meet and unwind at anytime - a great ourtreach by Totton`s Youth and Families Matters team.

A refreshing change from the predictable nature of Costa Coffee and the like (and I do have a Costa loyalty card!), this is a new venture housed in an old chapel in a residential part of Totton near the local college and about 1/2 mile from the village centre. It is run by a local charity and offers very keenly priced and freshly made drinks, sandwiches, soup etc and cakes. A lot of hard work has been put into modernising and re-decorating the old chapel building The décor is very light and informal, and its a really nice, friendly place to go for a light lunch. Definitely worth supporting!

I called in here for lunch while working at home and was pleasantly surprised. The back half has been converted into a lovely bright café with some delicious snacks and cakes on offer. While you are waiting for your food why not browse the items they have on sale in the charity shop (at the front of the building). It has a toilet, free wifi and is clean, bright, and charming. Proceeds go towards the Youth and Families Matters programmes locally so its a really good cause. When I called in some older people were enjoying a chat with their friends and I believe some students from Totton College have discovered it too so I really hope its long-lasting and successful.

Have been here a few times since it opened late 2014. A fantastic selection of cakes, sandwiches (toasted too) and biscuits. The coffee is divine. This is run by a local charity that supports local youth and families. There is a charity shop at the front of the coffee shop selling good quality clothes, toys etc. Lots of bargains to be had. A great place to meet up with friends, or just pop in for a coffee and browse at what is on offer. The staff are extremely friendly.
