Quick info
About XOXO Southampton
XOXO Southampton is an American bar and restaurant on Oxford Street in Southampton, set across the ground floor and basement. Brunch is a focus, with a bacon sandwich served on a choice of back or streaky bacon in about half a dozen rashers, alongside coffee. The kitchen covers American comfort staples for breakfast and brunch, and the drinks list runs from coffee to cocktails, with the cocktail bar role built into the room. The space hosts family and friends for brunch, and the lower level extends the seating below street level. There is no air conditioning on site, so the venue leans on its basement layout and ground-floor room rather than climate control. Cocktails carry through into the evening, with coffee available throughout the day, and the format suits casual catch-ups over brunch plates and burger-led American food.

Customer Review Summary
Brunch draws most reviewers, with an excellent bacon sandwich, choice of back or streaky, and great coffee singled out. Staff are called friendly and lovely, and a couple praise the drinks and cocktails. One reviewer waited far too long for two breakfasts, and poached eggs tasted sour from vinegar that ran across the plate. Another found it very hot with no air conditioning.

“staff were lovely, drinks were amazing however our food took an hour to come out and we only ordered 2 breakfasts, which of such my poached eggs had way too much vinegar added to the pan and tasted so sour. the vinegar juice from the eggs went all over my plate making everything taste like vinegar. very disappointing considering we waited an hour for this to come out.”
