Costa Coffee

You'll find this Costa tucked into the Ocean Park retail complex on Burrfields Road, which means you can actually park without wanting to throw your car keys into the Solent. It's one of those locations that works perfectly when you need somewhere dependable to meet a mate or crack on with some work on your laptop. The coffee does exactly what it says on the tin – consistent, decent, and served by staff who know their way around the machines. The space is generous enough that you won't be breathing down someone's neck, and the Wi-Fi actually works, which puts it ahead of half the independent places in Southsea. Sure, it's a chain, but sometimes you just want a proper flat white without the faff.
