Delicious vegan food in the heart of Southampton - Edit
Fully vegan with something for everyone: breakfast, burgers, wraps and comfort food, healthy salad bowls and mouth watering desserts! I had the Dragon protein salad bowl which was delicious and very filling.

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).

*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
Read morePros: Specials , Dog friendly , Sweet and savoury

Vegan bliss! - Edit
They have a great range of exciting vegan baked goods including chocolate and biscoff filled doughnuts. For main courses they have vegan burgers and wraps as well as some healthier options. I had the satay bowl. I felt there was a bit too much satay sauce in it but still enjoyed it. I then had a chocolate cream filled doughnut, very tasty and indulgent. Was very full afterwards! So many other things I would have liked to try if I had the stomach capacity! They also sell chocolates and sweets from some vegan small businesses. Lovely atmosphere 😎💖
Read morePros: The choice of vegan baked goods, Selling chocolates & sweets from vegan businesses , Reasonably priced.

It’s good - Edit
No idea how I’ve managed to not review Thrive yet when it’s the closest vegan cafe to me 💀 I used to come here all the time when I first went vegan and still pop in semi regularly, but mostly for their cake counter as opposed to their savoury options/full meals.

Nice place and the staff is kind. They sell vegan snacks like chocolate as well. I ordered the buffalo bowl. That was basically lettuce, coleslaw with seitan and a lot of sauce. I would have expected more for the price.
Read morePros: The atmosphere , Many options to choose from
