It was my first visit today. I have been following them on instagram and their posts make the food look amazing. The look of the cafe is gorgeous, reminds me of Spain. Bright, open, airy space and at first it looks quite small but there is loads of seating. There is an upstairs floor, more seating up another flight or stairs and then a cute little garden if you fancy some quiet. Unfortunately today I had already had lunch but I did go for a cake. There was so much selection, at least eight different options which looked equally delicious. I opted for the coffee and walnut cake which I think is the moistest, most delicious cake I have had!
I have never tried matcha before and on the menu there was some interesting sounding varities like pistachio. I chose raspberry ripple and the staff member was knowledgable and helpful when I asked for some advice on what to choose. The vibe is great and the staff are warm and happy. The speaker was a bit loud where I was sitting so I asked if it could be turned down and without skipping a beat she replied it was no problem and did it straight away. As you can tell from my glowing review, I will be returning many times!
What a fantastic dinner. Had the set 2 course meal from the chalkboard. Really fresh veg and tasty meat in all the dishes. Food was served swiftly and was delicious. Will be recommending this to anyone who asks about where to eat in Pompey.
Best cafe around. Don’t be fooled by Kye’s cafe being in a builders merchant that you’re going to receive a greasy horrible breakfast. All good ingredients and great service.
I didn’t even know this wonderful shop was here. They closed at 3 but I was desperate for a colouring gel and the lovely owner stayed open until 3.45 for me to get there. Amazing shop amazing owner. Thank you…you have gained a new customer in me and my friends 😊
The food was ok, but the service was embarrassingly slow. When we arrived there were 3 other tables with guests. We waited over 40 minutes for 12 pieces of sushi. Tasted fine but having waited that long, most food would! We then needed to wait another 20mins after that for fish and chips.
Staff apologised for the delay and gave us copious tap water. Once food was served no one checked to see if we were ok or needed anything more.
There are better places to go for a dinner of that standard.
Finally went in and as hoped, had a wonderful experience.
You won't find any processed food here, only freshly made traditional food we all used to know and love; real vegetables, bread made in-house and all cooked fresh to order.
The food was wonderful. Had the veg discovery plate and every last mouthful was delicious.
The restaurant is clean and homely - it's all about the food. We were offered plates and cutlery but chose to eat using just the bread to take the food.
Staff very nice, lots of customers from East Africa enjoying a family meal and I will absolutely be back.
Great food, also a good dining experience and reasonably priced. Fresh, home made food to be appreciated.

This is the third superb cake I have bought from The Pastry Corner since I discovered the shop last November. I have also bought pastries and sandwiches. Everything I have had from them has been wonderfully made and beautifully presented. All aspects of their service are first class.
When we arrived we were placed on a table that had a reserve sign on it, we asked if it was really okay and the server said yes. We were still eating our dessert when the server came back and told us to finish in 10-15 minutes as he needs the table back at 2pm. If they would have told us beforehand we would have understood and ordered only the dessert, which we came for. I personally think it was very rude and not professionally handled. We’re never coming back here.
Food was okay. We came for the halo2 which needed more fruits.
Fantastic coffee, made with great care & attention! Love the vibe and how food & drinks are served. Truffles scrambled eggs are to die for and NO other coffee shop in Portsmouth gives you your brownie on a plate with added caramel sauce & berries! Top notch! 👌🏻
We booked Scotts Tap and Keller for my partner’s 50th birthday celebrations, and are so glad that we did. We had drinks in Scotts for 20 people, where we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had great hospitality. All the staff were brilliant, and are a credit to Paul and the team. Simon had a fantastic birthday and I can’t thank you all enough for making everything run so smoothly on the day, with brilliant customer service throughout. Highly recommended if you are looking for the perfect place to hold a celebration party in Portsmouth! Sarah xx
