Seeing as I spent my youth in Tombas I have quite a high opinion of it. Before the smoking ban we…read moreused to sit there smoke and drink coffee all day, and it was weird because you never got baored, theres always a friendly face down in Tombas, large seating area, a internet cafe right opposite, toilets. Their paninis, and sandwhiches, and milkshakes, and smoothies are amazing!! If your in town and need a rest and a nice coffee then go to tombas. now. :)

One of the yummiest ice cream places in Southampton!!…read more This is a little counter on the bottom floor of West Quay next to Millies Cookies. It serves ice cream in cups of cones as well as ice cream shakes and sundeas. The flavours here are wonderful and include cotton candy, rocky road, pralienes and cream and rainbow. They also do some sorbet flavours which are lower in fat! Opposite there are a few benches where you can sit once you have your ice cream, because if like me you are greedy and get two large scoops walking is not always an option!!! They dont however take card but there are 3 cashpoints next door.

Cute little desert place. I ordered the cookie dough with hazelnut gelato…read more The gelato was delicious tasted exactly like hazelnut. The cookie was warmed but not fully baked to a cookie. I found the cookie to be a bit too sweet.

Easily one of the best shakes I've ever had! This place is fantastic, they have the biggest…read moreselection of any dessert or milkshake spot I've ever been to! The menu is almost too big since it's impossible to decide! The 'Dave' was delicious! It was Kinder-bueno (chocolate and hazelnut) flavored. I tried it because it was the number 1 on the most popular chart, and what a great choice it was! The shake was topped with crumbled candy pieces for garnish, and tasted and looked incredible! I will definitely be going back, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I had this as my brunch. Lol? Trust me is very filling.. and fattening too…read more I had Janet which is a combo of strawberry cheesecake & oreo topped with marshmallow. I like the fact that they use the real cheesecake! Oreo taste however turn out to be strong. This is a great place to fix your sweet tooth. There a list of of menu to choose from! You have the option to choose for full fat icecream or fat free froyo! You can have it hot too! If you have special dietry requirement you can ask the staff they ll be happy to advice you :) The only downside is that there isnt many place to seat or hang out as it is made for ready to go.

The Art House is somewhere I make sure I frequent every time I'm in Southampton town centre. With…read moretheir vast selection of teas, coffees and vegan food - it's a great little place to grab something light in a pleasant atmosphere. I've never eaten a meal here however I've only heard good things, but what I will say is that their coffee is divine! You can choose from Italian and Colombian roast which comes in a cafetiere which keeps it fresher for longer. At the back of the shop you can find a small shop featuring clothes, jewellery, pins and many other kooky bits and bobs for reasonable prices. The teas, coffee, cakes and food are all reasonably priced too. Thoroughly recommended!

During a cheeky little surprise trip to Southampton last weekend, I was taken to The Art House by…read morethe birthday boy himself! This is definitely the coolest place we saw in Southampton! Nestled in the Cultural Quarter, it oozes intriguing art vibes with its quirky decor, vegan menu and vast array of teas and hot drinks. The staff are great, especially their amazing dress sense (not sure if they're just *that* cool or its part of a uniform?....) and the Southampton Fog I had was delicious! At the back of the cafe you'll find a funky little second hand shop, all you need to kit yourself out like a trendy staff member! And in the front they're turned the windows into exhibition booths for you to sit and have tea and watch the world go by (or be watched by the world!) This place is right up my street, if I lived in Southampton I'd definitely make it a regular haunt, and for those that are thinking of visiting this port city of recommended heading there as soon as you get off the train!
