Was recommended by a friend. Welcome and food were lovely. I had the mushroom and Stilton risotto. For a meat eater I was very impressed. The garlic bread was gorgeous too. Only two small things, firstly felt the beer was over priced and the service was slow but these are only minor things that do not really take away the... More

After looking on TripAdvisor for recommendations for places to eat breakfast in Southampton, chose Caffexpresso. Found it fairly easily (close to train station) and must admit was a little dubious on looking at surrounding area and outside of cafe. However, looks are incredibly deceiving in this case. The food was amazing. I had a sausage and bacon sandwich - the... More

I was really chuffed to stumble across this delightful cafe. Nice food, great service and reasonably priced. They are also licensed so was able to enjoy a glass of wine. I am working in the city and as a single female, I didn't feel intimidated eating here alone. Try the homemade lasagne and the chips are to die for!!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at this cafe on a Saturday. Wide selection of food, from sandwiches to more substantial meals. Good prices and friendly staff. Lovely place to enjoy a meal before a long journey or to escape the masses shopping in West quay. Highly recommended!

Great little Italian cafe. Was recommended to go here and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were so friendly. I opted for the lasagne which was home made and came with some fantastic chips. Very good place.

The place is popular with the farang set, and your food won't come spicy unless you request it that way. Try the salted prawns or deep-fried grouper with garlic and white pepper, or dried whitefish with mango dip; and finish with banana fritters with coconut ice cream. nice place!!

Marco and the team are amazing. I Work very close to expresso and come here a lot. You are always made so welcome. The food is great. Chicken burger is the best I've had. Love coming here for breakfast and lunch. They've created a real cosy and friendly environment. Worth coming for pre theatre dinner as well.

Was seeing a show at the Mayflower with family and decided we wanted to grab a bite to eat first. Stupidly we hadn't booked anywhere and all the restaurants were fully booked. Had a wander down the road towards the train station and stumbled accross this place. So glad we did! The staff were so friendly and fitted us in... More

What a find. I was recommended this cafe for lunch by the b&b I was staying in and what a find! The food was great - I had a very tasty home made lasagne with some very nice chips. The service was excellent and the manger even came over and spoke to me. It is very nicely decorated with free... More

Title says it all, quite often at Southampton Station with time to kill, was so desparate that I walked out of the Station on the side farthest from the City Centre (never done that before) looking for something different. Spotted tables and chairs outside a cafe - about 50 yeards max from station - slightly to the right of the... More
