Staff were very helpful, we had turned up after the breakfast service had finsihed, not realising there was specifc timings, but the staff memeber behind the till said it wasn't a problem and as a one off he would make the dish we requested of the breakfast menu. This was above and beyond.

Excellent breakfast! Portions were decent, price was better than other places we’ve tried, food was really good, staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return! We also bought 2 cream filled chocolate covered doughnuts to takeaway, which were great, and so much better than the usual dull vegan sweet options from most other places, like boring flapjacks or dry brownies. These were proper, indulgent treats! 100% recommend!

Been here a few times and this place is amazing. Massive menu selection, all vegan and absolutely delicious. Staff are friendly, polite and quick service. The atmosphere is relaxed and as someone with sensory difficulties, the music is not too loud and the lights are low which is really helpful. Also, the cakes are to die for!!!

Chuffed to find a place open at 7.30pm where I could get a coffee. Extra chuffed to find out it’s a pleasant little place that makes an excellent coconut flat white. Will have to return soon and try the food, as it looked and smelled delicious.

I'm not a vegetarian or vegan. Looked quickly at the menu outside, saw burgers etc and, being in a hurry, decided to go in and eat there. It was not until I read the full menu that I realised I'd stumbled into a vegan restaurant - something I'd normally avoid like the plague! However, I didn't have time to find somewhere else so ordered a meal. I have to say I was extremely surprised...their fresh food was very tasty and I enjoyed my meal, as did my two other companions did theirs. Service wasgreat and staff friendly - could not be faulted. 10/10 to Cafe Thive and I'd eat there again anyday. Well done. It's easy to see why they were full to the brim and more patrons arriving every minute but having to wait or takeaway.

Tried several drinks, starting with a soya latte, then their apple strudel milkshake (which was amazing and most definitely my favourite), and finished off with a pumpkin spice latte with coconut milk. As someone who very rarely has dairy free drinks, I will most definitely be coming back, and maybe even try some of the food.

It is also delicious. I have had an outstanding burger there and I've had possibly one of the best full English breakfasts I've ever had here. Really really well recommended.

If you think vegan food is bland, take time to try Café Thrive. Their oat milk drinking chocolate tasted better than most regular coffee shops serve and their whole grain burgers are bursting with flavour. As a non-vegan I was definitely impressed and will be visiting again with both vegan and non-vegan friends. Keep up the good work folks.

Absolutely delicious food, cute interior design... awful chart/EDM music that really spoils the experience. EDIT: This was about 12 noon on the 21st. (Music taste is subjective and all that - I just think, if you're meeting friends for a chat and coffee, or getting away from the busy office for your lunch break, do you really want your cozy cafe to sound just like a noisy gym/bar?)

I initially rated this place 5 stars, but the quality of the food has unfortunately declined since opening, in my opinion, which is really disappointing to see as a regular. It's small problems; food coming out slightly cold, flavours and stuff seem to decline, and the menu doesn't seem to change often. Despite this, it's still one of the nicest 'fast-food' or 'grab-a-quick-bite' food places in Southampton. Staff are always super friendly and helpful, knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. I've been many, many times since opening. Their range of burgers are especially good, but everything is worth giving a go! Relaxing setting on the edge of the park. We usually take-out our food to sit in the park and eat. All for a very decent price!

This is the first time in years we have been refused hot water to drink, being a vegan restaurant also, is very disappointing. I may burn myself with my coffee!! WE WILL NOT BE BACK. Pity, but the food is normally very good and HOT! Pit pricey. Service today took 3/4hr for two dishes, one was a salad, not good as people in after us got served first? Had to chase.

An excellent lunch - the vegan Reuben, chips and a good coffee. The cafe was raising money for Ukraine which was excellent. I had a conversation about changing the spelling of "Kiev" (the Russian spelling) to Kyiv (the Ukrainian spelling) on the donation info and they did it straight away - very impressed. Service was very friendly. I will be back. Is a little vegan / alternative quarter starting to develop in this part of Southampton? There's an excellent vegan shop nearby as well. Thank you - keep up the good work.

Despite the number of customers, we were served quickly and the food was good. My breakfast muffin was very filling and very tasty. My wife struggled to finish her vegan breakfast, but enjoyed the food and grabbed a cake to takeaway. All the food and drink is vegan and there's loads of choice. I hope Cafe Thrive continues to thrive - the country needs more eateries like this.

Lovely little cafe that sells quality food for a great price.

Absolutely love this place! You want a full English breakfast? They have it. Would you rather go for a breakfast muffin with a coffe creation with whipped cream? They have it! Rather just a healthy smoothie to grab and go? Yep, it's done for you. Sandwich for lunch, but want a stacked burger with dirty loaded fries? Look no further, they got you covered! Maybe you are after a delicious 'build your own' salad with seitan? This is the place for you! Mac and cheese? Sure! Lasagna? Not a problem. And the CAKES and sweets!!!Ooooo if you have a sweet tooth, then I suggest to hold on to dear life, because you will die in a sugar coma. I mean if a perfect totally vegan place exists, than this is it. I'm amazed.

We stopped here for lunch after a morning walking through the Common and the parks. It wasn’t busy and weather was good so we were happy to sit outside. We all ordered different sandwiches/panini and all were delicious. Bread was very fresh. Coffee was good and strong. Server was lovely but should probably have had some help on a busy sunny day
