This is probably one of the best places to eat in Eastleigh. It does seem a little small and…read morecramped but it does not really bother me. The staff work so hard and they are very efficient. The service they give is outstanding, they are very friendly and seem very happy in their job. The food comes out very quickly and is piping hot and presented very well. The portions are huge and the prices very reasonable. Also there is a lot of choice on the menu. As the staff are so quick you do sometimes feel you are being rushed but that is the only downside.

Poppins is one of the best places in Eastleigh to dine. They are well priced. They serve a…read moreselection of grills, breakfast, omelettes etc. They are always busy when I go in there and everyone here seems to be having a great time. They also have a great coffee probably much better than the coffee brand across the road and at a much better price and they serve it HOT. They are clearly confident about their hygiene standards, as all diners are cooked in a open-plan kitchen. I also love the fast and friendly table-service they provide.

Tchibo is a strange place! It serves coffee and cake but also clothes, homewares and various other…read morerandom things! The hardwares change on a weekly cycle, so you never know what you will find when you go in the shop! Sometimes you can get some useful gadgets that you might not be able to find anywhere else. In terms of Coffee the shop does a small selection, all the normals plus a couple of special coffee's depending on the season (iced in the summer and caramel in the winter). They are quite reasonably priced as well. There are some seats inside the coffee shop, but as it can get quite busy i prefer to sit in the outside area. The outside seating is in the middle of the shopping centre away from the coffee shop so it's quite strange walking there with your drinks!

It's adequate. The coffee is perfectly fine, as is the tea. Great place to go if you're an OAP,…read moreSAHM or otherwise not overly busy during the working day .. as Boswell's is located in the Swan Centre in Eastleigh that also works on the premise that life does not exist past 17:30 - aka we're still in the 1950s where hubby went to work and mommy stayed home with the sprogs and therefore she could access everything during the day. Boswell is fairly bog standard - sandwiches, soups, some cakes, coffee, tea, juices .. it's basically a slightly hyped up cafe (english style) .. think of a cleaner & fancier looking Roy's Rolls from Coronation Street.

Agree with previous comments on space outside - Very Limited…read more Inside generally has a good atmosphere, and you feel comforatble to have a good chat without being conscious of people over listening (too much) Is a good stop off when picking visitors up from Train Station (5 mins away) - They always seem to enjoy a decent drink, and appreciate the time away from Travel and business. Makes for a good drop in, and meet n greet opportunity.

Costa is a well known coffee chain throughout the UK, and is fairly new to Eastleigh. I am really…read morepleased that we now have a large coffee shop, which offers a massive variety of drinks (not just a coffee or cappucino). Costa's is always busy, but there is plenty of seating. They serve prepacked sandwich's and panini's, as well as cakes and biscuits (but these are quite overpriced i think). The staff can be a bit hit or miss sometimes, mostly they are very friendly and helpful but sometimes they have mixed up my drinks, there is only one toilet as well and it's often dirty, which is why i've only given Costa's 3 stars. There's also a meeting room you can hire out - which i think is a fantastic idea, and it's at a reasonable rate.
