Tides Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Fareham

I collect my husband from work and Tide Café has become our go-to little haven for a quick lunchtime escape. For me, it’s always the salmon & cream cheese bagel with a cappuccino; for him, it’s a simple cheese sandwich with an espresso (or a cortado if he’s feeling adventurous 😅).

These little pauses in the middle of busy days have meant more than I realised — a chance to sit, talk, laugh, and breathe together before life pulls us back in different directions.

They need to find a better system.

Went to the Warwick Coffee House in Warwick Lane,...

Located within a shop selling boating supplies, the cafe is extremely small, unfortunately, due to the location there is no outdoor space for eating, food is of good quality, staff are also very welcoming and attentive to the customer's requirements Since my last visit, they seemed to have a refurbishment. It now feels more spacious , wasn't that busy at the time of my visit, but they apparently been busier during the morning I had a huge slice of Victoria sponge and a salted caramel milkshake Then, to work off that food and drink, walked along the coastal footpath towards ...
