Coffee#1 as a brand and this particular branch situated in the heart of Portswood Road in Southampton constitute among my favourites to consult on a frequent basis.

Upon entering this charming establishment, one is greeted by the charming and concurrent fusion of dark yet warm settings that pervade it's ambience, a somewhat unique characteristic discerning of all Coffee#1 shops and this particular branch being no exemption. Such an atmosphere renders itself as being immensely cosy and welcoming in nature.

The aforementioned is significantly further augmented by the very high standards of customer service and care combined with the meticulously crafted coffee permeated beverages that comprise their robust menu. The staff display a persistent degree of enthusiasm, care and courtesy towards their customers and endeavour to be as accommodating of them as is possible. This is strongly reflected in the consistency and quality of the coffees that they produce. A particular favourite of mine happens to be the oat milk substituted pumpkin spiced latte that boasts a unique and profoundly enticing taste and texture.

On a final note, I feel inclined to tender a few words of praise to the management team of Liam and Sara for their efforts in forging such a cohesive and competent team of staff and for sustaining the branch in such a consistent manner. For all those among us who possess a deep vested passion for the world of coffee and have yet to immerse themselves in this particular branch, a sincere invitation extends for them to do so. A truly fantastic...

I explained what had happened and the manager said that she was new and had only worked at Coffee1 a couple of months. The Young lady who followed me said that she was only 17 and a Minor and that I should be ashamed of myself. As I was leaving the young lady again shouted 'And don't come back' in front of the manager and a colleague who told her to stop and return to the office. 30 minutes later I returned to speak to the manager. The young lady was still in the office and the...
