Ugh. The most awful, flat, white bread toastie and a fruit smoothie in a soulless, scruffy cafe and I’m stitched over £7 for the pleasure. Total rip off.

This is the only place I know that sells coconut water. So convenient if this is your choice of drink, you're travelling and you're thirsty. Not sure why it is called pumpkin cafe though I couldn't see any of the popular oversized squash based vegetable on sale so maybe stick to supermarkets if that is what you were thinking they sold. Others on this site complain about the staff personally I found the lady serving delightful and I prefer her to being served by some AI Avatar who is attractive but unable to feel true emotion....and has blue skin. To offer a balanced view it is cheaper if you invest in a flask or buy your snacks before your journey in a supermarket but if you can't be bothered to be organised then expext to pay over the odds for flavoured hot water and don't Complain on here about it..... honestly this is not the right platform to inspire genuine change.

Closed early, contrary to its stated opening times. They told me they can’t serve me despite it being half an hour before the stated closing time.

Walked in to grab something fast. I got a meal deal and was just a tad disappointed at the range of chocolate bars on offer (only two were allowed in the meal deal). However, a twirl will suffice. I popped in briefly whilst changing trains and I must say, Babli and Neetu were some of the best servers I have had at small shop in a long time. They were very quick to give me information regarding the meal deal and also noticed that my water bottle was empty. They filled it up instead of me having to rush across to the inconveniently located fountain past the barriers.I think the two girls should definitely be praised for their hard work and how they places me at ease through a very stressful journey due to the strikes. I implore the team to think about how these women could be utilised further as their skills and outgoing nature were fantastic.

Despite being a little cafe in the middle of a train platform waiting room, Pumpkin is my go to when travelling through Basingstoke. The staff (Babli and Neetu especially) are always so welcoming and efficient - service with a smile for everyone, and there is a great selection of drink options, syrups, sandwiches, crisps and treats.
