Brilliant breakfast - Edit
Visited twice for breakfast in the last 2 months. The full English was my favourite, my partners the burrito. Proper scrambled tofu!

Great local vegan place - Edit
Went here twice during our visit to Southampton. Had the BBQ Stack burger and chips first time, then the Dragon Protein Bowl the second time. Burger was really tasty and well cooked, chips were pretty good, and the bowl was decent. Think I'd have preferred one of the other bowls more, in hindsight. Not a big fan of hummus and quinoa, but thought I'd give it a try.
Read moreCakes and cookies were also very tasty. Had vanilla slice and cookie sandwich, both were great. Cookie was very sweet.
The thing that'll stick with me though was the affogato... Just soft serve ice cream and espresso, but was very tasty.
Only thing that was a bit disappointing was the ketchup. But that's a very minor thing.
Pros: Affogato!, Good food, Good vibes
Cons: Not amazing ketchup?

Wonderfully Vegan 😇 - Edit
Stopped by on the way to the football (and as a birthday lunch). Great choice, great imagination & wonderful staff. I may come early for the football every time now.

Ample menu, good food - Edit
Cafe Thrive does cafe food really well and has something for everyone, from breakfast burritos, sandwiches, burgers, loaded fries and more. There's quite a lot to choose from the sweets display too (I didn't like these as much, the display case dries them out). I enjoyed the burger a lot and the loaded hash browns were pretty good too.

Great food - Edit
Good range of more healthy type food and more “junk” food with fries etc. was very tasty, the vegan place to go to in Southampton for sure.

It’s Southampton - Edit
Important place in Southampton as it seems to be one of the only vegan spots here. Good coffee. The food is good but is kind of old school vegan. Lots of treats and grocery items as well. I kind of messed up getting the vanilla slice as I didn’t really enjoy it but I’ve had their other sweets and they’re better.

New favourite restaurant - Edit
Amazing food - I tried a healthy bowl, a satay seitan burger, loaded fries, milkshake, cupcake and viennese whirl. Everything was 10/10. The menu is big and varied, including healthy options (sometimes hard to find in a vegan restaurant), a huge cake selection and decent drinks like karma cola, Fentimans and kombucha.
Read moreOnly negatives were that the burgers don't automatically come with any sides - you have to order that separately. Also almond and coconut milk are 25p extra which I thought was strange for a vegan place. (Oat/soya no charge).

Pros: Quality food, Healthy options , Cake selection

*Chef’s kiss* - Edit
I had the ‘chicken’ burger and my partner had the whole food burger. We also had sweet potato fries and soft drinks. Everything tasted really good, but not too heavy. We also bought cookies to take away and will definitely return.

Fave spot in Southampton - Edit
We go here easily a couple times a month even if just for a coffee and usually a sweet treat- their cakes counter is beyond amazing with bakewell tarts, massive cookie pies, French Fancies and everything else. Food is always delicious and the staff are lovely. Their specials are so creative! #Veganuary
