Mermaids Coffee Shop in Southampton

"Nice little cafe by the coast. Good service with a nice offering of coffee and some baked goods. The atmosphere of the cafe is nice with a good crowd of locals and visitors. The staff were also very friendly and the place had a nice vibe so I enjoyed my visit. It did get a bit busy and crowded in the late morning when tables/chairs became scarce, but otherwise, it seemed relatedly quiet with a relaxed feel."

"Came here for a coffee and some lunch with a family member. I ordered a Macchiato, which when ordered the staff member said "is that the original or the Starbucks version?" So be careful if ordering going from Starbucks info! They had a nice range of toasties and cakes when we went at 2pm beg of the week. The Macchiato (caramel latte) was super yummy and beautifully decorated. I had a brie and cranberry toastie which was also fully loaded and absolutely delicious! We sat out the back in the little suntrap where they allow dogs with a water station for them also. The view isn't great as it's the carpark mainly but you can see some of the shore too and it's only a few steps to the mini pier if after you wanted a better view. Only quarm would be they don't have any toilets and you get directed to the public ones in the car park a little walk away, however I'd use the local pub if needed. Would recommend coming here, very nice vibe."

"A great little coffee stop in a beautiful spot by the river. Best coffee around and nice selection of icecream for the kids on a hot day."

"Called in for breakfast. They had only been open for 3 weeks. The bacon baguettes were large and very tasty. Excellent coffees. Very friendly service. Very tastefully furnished. Spotless loos."

"Had a takeaway cappuccino, as far as coffees go, it was up there with the high standard of coffee normally expected from good quality 'hipster style' coffee shops in city centres. A much nicer coffee than Starbucks/Nero/Costa provide. Would recommend for a coffee. The cakes also looked fresh baked and very tasty."

"Excellent coffee, nice homemade cakes (only a few options), plus toasted sandwiches, & artisan pottery for mugs. Seating inside, or outside on a terrace - south facing to catch the sun & views of ships on Southampton Water. Great place to stop if walking along the coastal path. 9/10."

"Dropped in for an afternoon bacon baguette and a latte. Friendly staff and delicious food with a beautiful view over the choppy winter sea. Really pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, and I will definitely visit again."

"Really nice place great coffee at a reasonable price and right on the waterfront."
