Pho Vietnam

southampton has a quiet but real specialty coffee scene, and portswood is one of the neighbourhoods where that shows most clearly. pho vietnam on the broadway pulls a genuinely loyal crowd, the kind of place where people return not out of habit but out of preference. you don't stumble across it by accident and think nothing of it. the address, 3 the broadway on portswood road, puts it right in the flow of a busy local strip, which means it has to hold its own on quality rather than novelty. and from everything its regulars say, it does. not a destination you talk yourself into visiting, more one you find yourself walking toward again. start with whatever they're pouring on a weekday morning.
