Southsea Coffee Co - Portsmouth

This restaurant offers the best coffee you can find outside of Australia and is one of the few places that uses Bonsoy soy milk. They also serve delicious homemade preserves like Strawberry Vanilla and Apple jam, which are served with great gluten-free bread. The restaurant is completely friendly for those with celiac disease.

I have been around the World and am a fussy eater. The chef and team here are exceptional. If you like top quality food you will understand this part, the consistency of high quality is amazing. To bring out plate after plate at that level of standard and speed is something that is under appreciated. I admire the eggs florentine, the muffins are insanely good as is the balance of flavour and herbs to the eggs and sauce. This is now my regular sanctuary and I try to come atleast a couple times a month from 40 miles away to eat and relax here. That peanut and banana shake is unreal too!

Always busy inside it’s taken us a while to finally get around to popping in with a table being available. And it’s clear why!!! Fab drinks, awesome cakes and a real lovely indie vibe. We will certainly return. The salted caramel brownie, the blonde and the gingerbread were amazing. Loved it.

What I would say is book/ or it will be the first thing they will ask you as you enter, we managed to to get in, I do find it a little strange having to book to go into a coffee shop, feels like being back in Brighton. What I will say is they know what they are doing and they drinks we had seemed to be very well made. Well worth another visit.

I recently returned to this restaurant after a couple of years and it is even better than before. It is definitely the best place for high-quality coffee and excellent food that caters to vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters alike.
