Seeing as I spent my youth in Tombas I have quite a high opinion of it. Before the smoking ban we…read moreused to sit there smoke and drink coffee all day, and it was weird because you never got baored, theres always a friendly face down in Tombas, large seating area, a internet cafe right opposite, toilets. Their paninis, and sandwhiches, and milkshakes, and smoothies are amazing!! If your in town and need a rest and a nice coffee then go to tombas. now. :)

One of the yummiest ice cream places in Southampton!!…read more This is a little counter on the bottom floor of West Quay next to Millies Cookies. It serves ice cream in cups of cones as well as ice cream shakes and sundeas. The flavours here are wonderful and include cotton candy, rocky road, pralienes and cream and rainbow. They also do some sorbet flavours which are lower in fat! Opposite there are a few benches where you can sit once you have your ice cream, because if like me you are greedy and get two large scoops walking is not always an option!!! They dont however take card but there are 3 cashpoints next door.

Really amazing and tasty ice cream especially the salted caramel!read more

New to Lyndhurst Road is four week old gelato and coffee parlour, Melt…read more The gelato is homemade by a local Italian man in Bournemouth. It offers flavours such as creme caramel, banoffee pie, cherry amaretto, peanut butter, strawberry yogurt, cookies and cream, crunchie just to name a few, as well as the usual favourites. You would never guess that the space use to be a old toilet block, which remained derelict for the past 7 years, before new business owners Mandeep and Jagbir Sidhu took it on. They worked hard to gutt, remodeland transform it into the bright, clean, open plan space it is now. There is comfy indoor seating as well as outdoor, with umbrellas and sandwiches for the winter period coming soon. Melt is perfect icecream parlour for every age. However if gelato is not your go, they also offer freshly ground, creamy coffee, decadent sundaes, waffles and other daily bakes. This place is growing day by day and is definitely a place to keep your eye on!

Food okay. Service is okay. Ambiance okay. Nothing outstanding. Location is good though. Too pricey…read morefor the food and quality.

Cute little desert place. I ordered the cookie dough with hazelnut gelato…read more The gelato was delicious tasted exactly like hazelnut. The cookie was warmed but not fully baked to a cookie. I found the cookie to be a bit too sweet.

By far the best gelato I've had in a long time! All three of us forgot to take a photo we enjoyed…read moreit so much. The line was out the door (expected at Sunday lunch time the week of Wimbledon!) but it moved really quickly. They also print the flavours on the window so you can get an idea of what you want before getting to the front which helps with the line. If you're a pistachio fan this is hands down one of the best pistachio gelatos I have ever had. The chocolate-hazelnut flavour had chocolate sauce running through it and not just on the top which made it even better. Definitely recommend and will hopefully be back!

This is a relatively new branch of the Italian Ice Cream shop, which specialises in fresh,…read moreItalian-style ice cream. It comes a dizzying array of flavours, and they also sell a range of fresh fruit sorbets. The store has some seating, but is essentially just an ice-cream counter. The ice cream has won numerous awards, and I can personally vouch that it is excellent! I generally like coffee and nut flavours, but there really is something for every taste. The ice cream cones either in cones or tubs. The staff are super friendly and efficient, and are currently open but with covid restrictions. Strongly recommended for a family treat.

Had the biggest ice cream ever! It was amazing!!…read more Wonderful staff and lovely customers, who were very friendly and laughing at me with my HUGE ice cream!!

I think this place changed its name to After School Cookie Club. Whatever it's called, it is…read moreabsolutely outstanding. I'm from the U.S. and am gluten, dairy and egg free (not by choice) and traveling and trying to find good things to eat, especially desserts is hard! I arrived in London today and found this place on Yelp. I had the soft serve (almond and cashew based) with a gluten free vegan chocolate chip cookie. I didn't miss the gluten, butter, eggs, cream...I mean it was seriously delicious. I wish we had this back home. The girl working was also amazing, handling a line of customers, food delivery and baking cookies. If your in the area, give it a try. We also tried the strawberry cookie and it was no where near as good as the choc chip.

A tub of frozen yog and an array of sauces and topping and sprinkles and everyone is happy. Apart from me, of course, because this stuff isn't cheap.
