The CafeW vegan cupcake this week is Cherry & Almond, made with love and fresh cherries straight from the trees of our wonderful supplier Purely Scrumptious. As always I have field-tested the cake (well, it's a dirty job but somebody has to do it!), and I can tell you they are so yummy! Wash it down with one our new Pumpkin lattes, made with Waterstone's exclusive triple-certified coffee blend. #waterstones #cupcakesofinstagram #cupcakesofig #vegan #southseavegans #vegansofinstagram #vegancake #southsea #lovesouthsea #pompeylife #pompeyvegans #homegrown #seasonal #pumpkinspice #vegancupcakes #playerhating #fabulous #madewithlove

What a lovely place! Great tea and coffee options and beautiful vegan cakes. Thank you for serving vegan options, will come again. Really friendly staff. Lovely, chilled out and cosy coffee shop. Toys, colouring and free fruit for the little ones ♡♡ see you soon!!
Thousands of actual real paper books and a comfy cafe with vegan cake options - what's not to like?! Plus very lovely staff, creative displays, quirky staff book reviews... I always discover new interesting writers or publications when I'm browsing, so their choice of stock is pretty impressive and diverse for my eclectic taste. Bought a book on some great walks in the South Downs.
The best shop in the whole of Commercial road . A jewel in an otherwise awful highstreet ....
Such a lovely friendly cafe, staff are so friendly. The salted caramel fudge frappes are simply the best
Sitting in the cafe of the newly-refitted Waterstones Portsmouth seriously impressed! The shop feels much bigger and the cafe is amazing. Well worth a visit!
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, fresh tasty food, child friendly and good coffee! A little haven away from the hectic-ness of Commercial Road.
My daughter and I meet there every week and think of it as our place. There is a lovely friendly atmosphere and all the food and drink is reasonably priced. The cafe has attracted an eclectic mix of clientele and I hope things never change.
Loads of books and bios that I like to read of the people I'm into and like its also very peaceful in water stones and you can relax 😀
I popped into the cafe today quite late and was pleasantly surprised at not only the reasonable prices for tea and lemon muffin but also the very warm welcome, comfortable surroundings and great background music :-)
I love Waterstones cafè. I love it even more as they have recently started to serve delicious vegan cakes. A lovely atmosphere and the staff are just so warm & friendly. A lovely place to go on your own or to meet with friends. I visit often.
Harry Potter event was brilliant, my two absolutely loved it (and me too!) Thanks to all involved
Had a lovely drink up in the cafe this morning then bought some books and just want to say how amazing the staff where and so helpful and I've even pre order my new John green book to collect in October �one happy customer been a customer of Waterstones for years now will never get bored of that shop one of my faves
Had a fantastic evening at the Harry Potter night! They staff were brilliant and couldn't have been more accommmodating. Thank you so much!
Favourite coffee shop in Portsmouth. Shh tho as I don't want anyone else to go there!
Best customer service I have ever recieved. Nothing is too much of an ask and everything is done with a smile. Fantastic Vegan and gluten free options too. Cannot recommend this place enough! �����
A lovely gem of a cafe! Wholesome food, reasonable prices and really friendly staff. With its relaxing ambience and array of intriguing reading material this is my favourite place to take a breather when in Commercial Road. Would highly recommend a visit. Just what Waterstone's needed!
Polite staff, gluten free mince pies, a wide choice of drinks, comfortable seating, relaxed atmosphere.
Definitely go back there the next time I can
Lovely place to have a tea or a coffee. Quiet , but disappointed they've put their prices up for a mug of tea from just £1 to £1.90 . Quite a big hug in fact nearly 100% price increase. I am a regular there and there have a reward card as well .
I love it there buy my
Books there. Just wish in the Cafe they done americano coffee with CREAM I have a soft
drink there but have to go else where for coffeee
