The Best Cafes in Havant, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

The best customer service from the lovely lady working on Saturday 1st March at 2.40pm at Havant. She helped me purchase a meal deal which was better value than if I had not so I got an extra chocolate bar and she was so lovely and efficient.

It's a perfectly fine station cafe.... it has all the strengths (quick) weakness (cost) of a uk station cafe, but you can see the platform from the stools and the staff where friendly and helpful so 5 stars

Not bad service although most mornings I get a small latte and a croissant which is supposed to be £5 in a deal but this morning I paid £6.49 so I think some of the team need to be aware of all the deals available, other than that everyone is very polite and always welcoming in the morning.

Menu somewhat limited but friendly service and they were able to heat up my cheese and onion pasty as I really wanted something hot and vegetarian.

I have to say, the quality of the spanakopittes (Spinach pie) and bougatsa (custard pie) we had were better than most we've eaten and we are Cypriot. The Freddo Espresso was also lovely and again better than most I grew up drinking. Really friendly staff, and good atmosphere. If you're anywhere near Havant station, shopping nearby for your weekly shop, stop by and have a slice of Kos and a sip of Greece xxx

A really lovely hidden gem. The food and coffee is freshly prepared and so delicious. The staff were friendly, the cafe is very welcoming and nicely decorated. Definitely going to return and try more items on the menu ;)

Ilfoxo is the best coffee shop ever! I’m super fussy with coffee and wouldn’t go anywhere else now in this area. Coffee is fantastic, the owners are so lovely and the food is also incredible. I have put pictures of my coffee so many times on social media that people have asked me if I’m sponsored 🤣 but I just love it far too much! Thanks Ilfoxo for making me have a coffee addiction:)

Such a lovely space that I had to pop in twice in one day on a visit to Havant - once for coffee and then again to try the very inviting traditional Greek pastries. Didn’t disappoint and the coffees excellent too. Looking forward to my next visit to the area to stop in again!

Top service, clean and well cooked.

Great food and banter

We frequently go to Boswell Havant for our lunch, as we feel they have an excellent choice of food, including some delicious cakes, which are competitively priced. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, offering to carry our tray to the table if it is too heavy. I would thoroughly recommend this cafe.

Love going here for a coffee, great value, staff friendly 👌 👍 👏

Lovely and clean place to eat or just have a coffee. The food is excellent, the coffee is very good. I would recommend this place to any one wishing for something to eat and a coffee. The staff are friendly lovely to get on with. Service with a smile and always willing to help you with your tray

I went here with my long-distance boyfriend the first day we got to see each other. It's inside the Meridian Centre, it's really lovely inside and it has a nice place outside of it too (which is still within the mall). The cocoa was really cute, I loved the marshmallows and whipped cream on top but it was a bit too sweet for my taste... My boyfriend liked the Americano though I don't remember how much it may have cost, possibly like ~£7-£9 (the drinks are between £3-£4 each) I haven't really had any of the food, other than what I got on the last day since we wanted to hang out inside the cafe and we were pretty full and already had coffee... A very small, packaged brownie... For £3.25. When I asked for the price and I heard that, it felt a bit like a whiplash. That was an exception, I'm never paying anything more than £1 for a brownie that small AND packaged again!! Lol It does have a lot of lunch and breakfast options that I noticed, but I'm not aware of the quality or taste. I just know it's all pretty pricey from what I've seen.

Super cozy cafe with a very friendly staff, food is lovely and the lemon cake was beyond delicious! Lots of love from Geneva

First time here and pleasently surprised. Really good food and very filling. We had the chicken sandwiches and the crab quiche. We didn't have to wait at all, and the staff were very polite and attentive. There are three seating areas and two inside and one outside. The one at the far back has a heater and is very nice and warm. The chairs have cushions on them n blankets, so if you're a bit chilling, you can get warm and feel cosy. These are nice touches, and I feel this does make it nicer than other places. They are not only making it look nicer but also thinking about customers who may feel the cold quicker than others like myself. We will definitely be going again.

Tea, hot chocolate and carrot cake after an Emsworth walk. Always a busy little cafe especially at lunch time. Nice brekkie menu if you fancy it. Worth a visit.

A little gem! Must visit if you're in the area and have a pooch! Staff is so friendly, great service and cakes are so fresh!

Very friendly service and excellent atmosphere to meet with family members from overseas and over the hills and far away

I went here today for lunch. Walking in I was greeted by smartly dressed waiters who were attentive. I ordered a cup of tea and cod and chips and the food arrived quickly. It was tasty and hot and very enjoyable. The salad was lovely and fresh. I would definitely like to come back here and have perhaps an omelette and salad. The menus are extensive with photos of the dishes. Thank you an enjoyable lunch!

Decent eatery, serving delicious food. Smart friendly efficient staff.

For about the same price as 'the golden arches muck in paper bag' You get excellent service, very speedy - faster than some fast food outlets, free lolly for my child, generous portions, Proper food on proper plates. Would highly recommend

Great menu & lovely staff, all dietary restrictions catered for and they even have protein milkshakes. The best place in Waterlooville for gluten free, had a gf breakfast with my friend and took some cakes home - the best gf brownie i've ever had, 10/10 thank you!!

Lovely little place (our new favourite) Warm and cozy atmosphere (good music in the background as well, a big bonus) The food is simply delicious. We had the soup of the day and that day’s special which was the Beef Cobbler. Loaded Nachos were lovely as well. You can tell the produce they use is of very good quality. Highly recommended it.

Lovely breakfast this morning, thanks to the lovely establishment! It was clean, friendly, delicious and many options with veggie & vegans. Great first visit. I loved the Little baycado - great name for my 2 poached eggs, avocado, smoked salmon on seeded bread and he enjoyed his sausage bap. Thanks!

I was killing time whilst my car was being serviced & happened across this lovely little place. I was warmly welcomed by a lovely young lady (who I later found out was Jess), she asked if I had been before & when I said hadn’t she explained all the menu options, I opted for a jacket potato with tuna & a mug of tea. Whilst waiting for my order to be prepared I people watched & I was genuinely blown away, there were kind words to everyone, everybody treated with respect. I’ve been to some quite expensive eateries in my time but none could hold a candle to this place & the food was delicious too!!

Good coffee and great food all served by very friendly and helpful staff.

Cutest little cafe, with very tasty toffee muffins! Came in for coffee while waiting for the bus. Fantastic value and friendly service!

The food was really nice and the service was equally as good. The homemade sausage roll was lovely so will definitely be back for one of them and the sandwich went down a treat, good ingredients and tasty bread. £8 for the pair was slightly higher than what I was expecting to pay though but I can’t doubt it was good food. Will be back.

I come in when I get into Havant. The coffee is excellent, and my go to is the cheese and onion toasties. I don't know what they do differently, but it stays crispy and light to the last bite. Lovely staff too. Well worth a visit.

One of the lovelier train station cafes I’ve frequented. The staff are friendly and helpful, which is always welcomed on such early commutes. The coffee is pretty good for train station prices.

Sree was super helpful and lovely on my visit this morning. Mocha, almond croissant and water - almost forgot my goods if Sree hadn't have called me back! She also very kindly held the door open for me as I had a suitcase and tote bag I was struggling with! Thanks Sree!

Very friendly customer service from staff named Sree. Her polite attitude towards customers was very notable. Will definitely come back again for some more caramel latte!

I would just like to start this review by saying, I have lived in this area all of my life - I’m 29 now. I have been coming to this specific train station the majority of that time too - often treating myself to a coffee. I have never had an experience like the one I did today - the service I received from Lama was second to none. Café Local, this is the standard. Lama, if this review finds you please know you made a difference to my day, put a smile on my face and I left with my overly priced coffee😅 an extremely happy and satisfied customer. Thank you 🙏 well done ! 👍

Excellent full English breakfast! Lots of options to personalize your breakfast to make it better. Coffee/tea can be included. We parked in front of the restaurant entry (1/2h available). Perfect service: quick, smiling and simply flawless! .. with a lillypop for the kid when leaving. What else! 😊

Excellent. Clean, lots of breakfast options, food came out quick and piping hot with no imperfections. Staff friendly and quick to serve. Lovely.

I had a really nice breakfast here! The server was really friendly and the food came out really quick considering how busy the place was. Will be visiting again.

An amazing place. A real local feel where you are always made to feel welcome/ like a friend or relative. Great value for money. Lovely staff and very clean and hygienic.
