Can't get enough of it. We travel at least once a week from Southampton there to enjoy the coffee and the amazing pastries along with the cakes. Dribbling every time that bring them in mind. It's obvious that the person making the coffee has lots of experience on fredo and also who makes the cakes is a master at it. Can't recommend enough this place. Also the rear garden is cute and nice to enjoy the summer days and will be great for the winter days to once the heaters put up. The stuff is so friendly and provide great services

I found this on Deliveroo a few weeks back. I decided to visit the shop that afternoon after seeing the famous kokákia which I could not find in Portsmouth, and saw other small cakes. Absolutely love this little Cafe. The small cake flavors hit the spot. I'm not Greek, I'm South African. But I definitely was missing the desirable rich flavor of foods being here in the uk. These cakes are divine. My favorite is the chocolate mousse, but so many other flavors follow that favorite. My new go to shop to satisfy my sweet tooth. Also very fancy, neat packaging.

My wife and I visited this morning as we were walking our dog, and we had a gorgeous coffee each along with a fantastic cheese and ham pastry. The lady running the shop was really friendly and the food and coffee were superb. We both highly recommend you visit.

If you want to feel like Greece, this is the right place to experience the aura of it. Many choices, excellent service, top quality, good prices and always trying for the best experience of the costumer. There is a nice area inside for the cold weather and a front and back space for the sunny days in Portsmouth. Ina has a knowledge of what she’s serving, she has high training and I can safely say she will do the extra, which everyone is looking, to feel well looked after and to have the most amazing experience. I highly recommend the coffee (cold or hot) and the cakes!

The coffee here is fantastic, not too bitter and very smooth. Both the lady and gentleman are very friendly and have been helpful with me making selections through the coffee menu! I'm yet to try any cakes but will be sure to ASAP!
