A lovely place to walk to for a coffee and a catch up with friends . Live the community spirit of the place

I walk my dog on the beach every day & get grear coffee @ Sobo, I meet friends, I spend summer days with kids & buy food/drinks from Sobo, I meet friends for cocktails on summer evenings.Its friendly, hosts events & has great food & drinks. It works so well- why on earth try & replace something so successful.

SOBO is our little piece of happiness by the sea! ❤️ We love our coffee, the music, wonderful atmosphere and sense of community. Our Golden Retriever Mollie adores her doggie doughnut! 🐾 It’s a truly special place that brings so much joy to so many. Please let SOBO stay! ❤️

Community minded. Professionally operated. Highest standards. Safe space. Safe for women. Never seen any anti social behaviour. Open all year - yes winter too ! The heart of Southbourne beach.

Its a lovely walk along the beach, nice to stop and get a drink, bite to eat and the sunday sessions are great fun, being outside near the sea, it feels like your in holiday but your not your down your local beach enjoying the views with a safe environment to have fun with family and friends.

Sobo matters to me because it's a great community hub with a nice class of people. We quite often take our dog's along the beach and it's nice to see people enjoying themselves.

A supporter in New Milton · signed 6 days ago
It’s my favourite place to go no matter what the weather or occasion. I’ve spent so much time here with my family and we would be devastated if it went. My parents visit sobo almost everyday and it’s part of their routine, it would break my heart if it went.
