A generous, tasty coffee. You can sit in the sun on the corner. A really tasty ginger cake. Friendly atmosphere. Excellent shops just nearby. Spotlessly clean.

O’Briens is our favourite place to for breakfast, lunch or coffee and a cake! The food is fantastic, the service is brilliant and Tracey and her team are fab! Such a friendly place and never had a bad meal or experience. Highly recommend the breakfast, I can’t pick one thing to recommend from the lunch menu as there are soo many yummy things I have had (although the coronation chicken and jacket potatoes are amazing!!) x

We pop in most times when we come to Eastleigh for a coffee and bacon sarnie but we decided to have a baked potato each with different fillings. All of us agreed it was the nicest baked potato we’d ever had, along with great value and friendly service from Tracy and Russell. We’ve always been very welcomed and will return very soon, thanks to you all

Tracy and Russell are lovely people and always friendly. The service is excellent as it the food. They happily accommodated our request to change the fillings in our toasties and the coffee is the best around. It’s now our regular cafe.

A must visit place when in Eastleigh. This is going to be my go-to place when I visit the town. The food options, service, atmosphere, the customisation available, precision to your order is just on point. In spite of being busy the waiting time is negligible. I ordered a salad and was expecting it to be as all greens and hardly any veggies but I was left in awe with the portion size and the variety on my plate. I can't wait to sip the most reviewed coffee.
