"This is a beautiful Nigerian restaurant with authentic Nigerian dishes. The menus is curated with unique dishes and undiluted flavours. It is also a café by day with cakes and toasties. The prices are competitive and reasonable for what they deliver. They have cocktails and other drinks available. The vibe here is amazing and the staff are so nice. There is a talented afrobeats dj who plays on certain evenings too. Make paying the bill a little quicker please :)"

"We've been before for breakfast and returned today for lunch and a cake. The coffees have been really good on both occasions and the food is tasty and good value for money. The menu is simple but they make everything fresh and you can see your food being made which I really like. The cake is phenomenal, today we had the hummingbird cake and we've had the brownies before and been really impressed. The staff are all friendly and the atmosphere and decorations are really nice. Will definitely be returning and bringing my family for some cake when they visit."

"This a very cosy place to go for a quick bite with friends or family. However, I would say that it's a bit small to gather a large group of people. I like the outdoors seating they have and the design of the place felt very warmed. Unfortunately, at the time we came, they did not have what was offered from the menu . I would try to go one evening to see if it's different from the afternoon service."

"I recently visited 329 Coffee House in Shirley, Southampton and was thoroughly impressed! The cozy ambiance instantly makes you feel at home, and the staff are exceptionally welcoming and attentive. The coffee selection is outstanding, with each cup brewed to perfection, showcasing rich flavors and aromas. I also tried one of their homemade pastries, which was deliciously fresh and paired perfectly with my coffee. It's evident that they put a lot of love and care into everything they serve. A gem in Shirley that's definitely worth visiting for any coffee enthusiast or anyone looking for a relaxing spot to unwind. Highly recommended!"

"It is a busy time when we visit, almost full but manage to get a table. The staff is welcoming and helpful. Easy to place our order. We try latte and flat white coffee with a slice of mocha cake. The coffee is great, we love it. The cake is delicious, not too sweet, it simply just nice. The vibe is nice, the place has been kept well clean and managed. A bit crowded inside but depending time you visit they do have a few seating outside. They do have a good selection of menus including a sandwich and breakfast menu. Not tried it yet (one of the reasons for missing 1 star from us, sorry.), looking forward to another time. Overall, it is a good place to visit to have a great coffee, cake and chat. Try them if you are around. Worth it."

"My visit to 327 Coffee House in Shirley, Southampton, was absolutely delightful. The ambiance of the cafe is cozy and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a coffee break. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, adding to the overall welcoming experience. Their coffee is exceptional, each cup is a testament to their commitment to quality, showcasing deep, rich flavors. Additionally, their selection of homemade pastries is a must-try – each one is a delicious treat that pairs wonderfully with their coffee. It's clear that they pour their heart into every aspect of their service. A true gem in Shirley for anyone looking for a top-notch coffee experience. Highly recommended for coffee lovers and those seeking a cozy spot to relax. I'm also eagerly awaiting the addition of turmeric coffee to the menu. Given its popularity and health benefits, much like matcha coffee, I'm sure it would be a hit with many customers. :)"

"What a lovely café! Instantly fell in love with the vibe; great atmosphere and music, a very welcoming place. The staff was cheerful and polite. We had a mocha, a cappuccino, a brie and bacon sandwich, and the breakfast hash. I would have liked the cappuccino a bit stronger, but that is just my personal taste. Everything was prepared with great care and it showed. The cakes all looked seductive but we had to run, so will be going back for those!"
