Hunter Gatherer in Portsmouth

This used to be my favourite place but the last 3 visits we've had poor service, the food was OK/mid but disappointing as not as good as it used to be. Enough that I came back to change my review because it was misleading. The only constant remains the coffee which is always delicious.

Wide range of vegan food, including a variety of cakes. Everything is delicious and they do the best coffee in Portsmouth.

This is the best café in Southsea! Amazing food, friendly staff and top-quality coffee.

Wonderful cafe with great food and drinks

The best coffee around with really friendly staff

A great little local independent coffee house with a little serving hatch for take away trade. Great premium coffee from small roasters. Friendly snd helpful. Recommended

I don’t usually write reviews but this place is amazing and if you are in Southsea you need to stop by!! I had the pistacho and rose cake and the cinnamon roll with a matcha latte, 100% vegan and out of this world😍 Also friendly staff and a nice seating area

It’s one of my favourite places to go. The coffee is amazing, very tasty meals and cakes to go with it! Dog friendly and a lovely place to spend your time in. Could not recommend enough. The takeout options are just as good, especially the sausage rolls and new sandwiches they’ve just started rolling out :) <3

Hunter Gatherer Coffee is such a unique & special plan. Either for a quick coffee on-the-go, or for that (so awaited) afternoon drink with your bestie over a nice cuppa & yummy cakes (!!) it IS simple the best place! The staff is very nice & caring and the service excellent 👏🏼 I couldn't recommend a better coffee shop at Albert Rd 🤩

You could easily run out of superlatives to describe the coffee here....it's just that good. Brian and the team have hit the peak when it comes to coffee. Thanks Guys!

Always good coffee and friendly staff.

Love this place! Friendly staff, amazing herbal teas and the chefs are geniuses! Everybody should go.

Delicious food, excellent coffee, friendly staff who are always smiling and create a fab environment, for sitting in or takeaway

Great coffee! Lovely people, food is excellent. One of my favourite places in Southsea.

I ordered a sandwich from here on Uber Eats and it was, hands down, the best sandwich I have ever eaten. It's a vegan menu here but even if you eat meat, I implore you to try this place out. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but if I were eating this all the time, I think I'd be convinced to convert. It's just good, nutritious, flavourful food and I cannot give high enough praise. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself!

Really good vegan menu. Friendly service and the food was excellent. Well worth a visit.

Delicious food and such a nice vibe

Amazing food, warm welcoming staff and the best coffee! Keeping fingers crossed that they make it through these difficult financial times! 🙏💚🌱

Plant based eatery (also offers cow's milk for cuppas). Friendly service. Food ready quickly. Food delicious and filling. Americano was bold and smooth. Would eat/drink here again.

Lovely little gem on Albert road. Great 100% plant based menu, friendly staff and a chill vibe!

Superb spot for a great coffee and lovely slice of cake, was passing and heard great things, so I thought, why not give it a go. Just a plain americano for me with a slice of raspberry and almond cake. What a gem! Staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was great. Lots of people in and out, always a good sign. Will be returning.

We love it here, the food tastes incredible and the staff is amazing! I treat myself to their baked goods every time as they are simply divine *chefs kiss*

Definitely the best coffee in the city, lovely atmosphere and the friendliest staff

Delicious breakfasts, brunches and cakes! Lovely place and lovely people too. Really recommend it. The food is all vegan and really tasty. My favourites are the tempeh bacon and scrambled tofu.

Delicious oat milk mocha and cinnamon buns. I had the spiced pancakes another and they were a little sweet for me but I think that's personal preference. Definitely worth checking out.

Cute local independent vegan cafe. The coffee was really good. I had the burger - excellent. Impressed. However was paired with below par breakfast potatoes - bit of a shame. My friend had the ginger pancakes. They looked great but we're a little 'naked'. Perhaps need some fruit or something else you go with them. This place has HUGE potential but just needs a little more attention in the kitchen. Could be a real winner in the future.

All food plant based but really delicious. Really good coffee and huge slices of cake. Staff super friendly too.

Can’t wait to go back here again, absolutely loved the food and atmosphere. The staff were lovely and after asking, even gave drink suggestions - I recommend the mermaid matcha latte for those discouraged by the strong taste of matcha. The portion was very filling and the menu had many interesting and unique options. First time trying scrambled tofu and really enjoyed it along with the homemade bbq beans and potatoes. They also offer to takeaway so will definitely return to try their other fun flavoured drinks!

Such a cute cafe! The waiting staff were so lovely, giving us recommendations and quick service. The place was lovely, we sat at the front and it was well decorated. The food was good quality and tasted great, and prices not too expensive.

Great food in a cool little café. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Menu shows some great flavour combinations and an eye for detail. Delicious fully plant based menu.

Lovely coffee and delicious plant base food. We got the bagel and the French toast, both really good. Nice staff and atmosphere too!

Amazing vegan food and service. Will always make time to travel here, we love it!

Great coffee place, entirely plant based. Loved the french toast as well as the flat white we got. Would definitely recommend!

This is the second time my partner and I came here. I was really impressed with the staff who were extremely friendly and welcoming.

It is an absolutely gem. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but the food here are mind blowingly great! Love the bacon and cheese bagel! :)

Had decaff long black. Best coffee I've ever had. Also had the brunch burrito which was lovely. Would definitely come again.

My visit was a spur of the moment thing as I was desperate to find somewhere with a baby change facility. I popped in to HG to see if they had one and the staff were just so lovely. A customer jumped up to help with the door and immediately offered his table to me - I always think they type of customer a business attracts is a reflection on the establishment and I can say straight away that this was the case. The staff are so lovely and polite. When finished sorting my baby, I grabbed a coffee to go. Everything was lovely and I shall definitely return with partner soon.

Delicious food, good service, lovely tasty coffees, smoothies and fab cakes, quirky urban style. Good location on Albert road.

The coffee here is exceptional!! Had the pancakes for lunch and they were so good it is hard to believe they are vegan but they are! All of the staff are so lovely and welcoming. 10/10 recommend

Amazing service and food. The environment is warm and inviting. Dog and breastfeeding friendly, a very refreshing cafe to visit. Definitely becoming a regular!

Delicious vegan food and coffee!

Superb food, superb service, superb atmosphere. First time here and the standard of food was exceptional.

Very tasty. Not sure it's very disabled/wheelchair friendly as steps down to toilet so check before you visit.

Really nice, good quality but more expensive than other places.

Delicious vegan food and coffee. Friendly vibe.

Interesting little place with great coffee and cakes amongst other things. There's an emphasis on vegetarian and vegan products.

Great coffee, food selection is great with a fully plant based menu. Have hadexcellent pop up kitchen nights as well as a variety of other events. Check them out on Instagram.

Being new to the area I've been keen to try places out, this place comes highly recommended but doesn't live up to the hype, vegan cinnamon rolls for a start to cover up its inadequacy, the sweetness has been turned up to 3,000,000 which takes away from what could be a nice pastry, one particular member of staff was also very grumpy and obtuse (older gentleman with his hat on like he's 12) and the coffee was absolutely bang average, not sure if it was a bad batch or badly worked but it was nuclear hot, quite bitter and lacked any discernable flavour. Shame really as I wanted to love this place.

Great food good prices and friendly staff

It's a great little plant-based café. Food is good and the staff are lovely. The only problem is that it is freezing in there in the winter. As a result your food gets cold really quickly and I end up being cold to the bone whenever I eat in there. If it was warmer it would be much more comfortable for customers

Do a really nice hot chocolate, friendly staff, and reasonable with prices

Staff are always really friendly. Nice vibe and great food and drinks!

We travelled a long way just to try this place and we were not disappointed. Great plant based menu and really nice attentive staff. Highly recommended for those wanting plant based food

Great coffee, great food. Great selection of plant based food on offer to suite all. Great for brunch coffee and cakes.

Super friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

Was not happy with our experience. After seeing their Instagram we were super excited to stop here for coffee and brunch. However what we received tasted nothing like how nicely it was presented! I had the breakfast burrito. It was so bland I could not differentiate between the tomato, avocado, scrambled tofu or potato. I thought maybe there was something wrong with me? So I tried my partners baked beans and they were bursting with flavour. So what happened? I tried asking our waitress and got ignored, and when she did come over she was quick to leave again despite me being half way through uttering an “excuse me” My partner enjoyed his food so that’s ok. But he agreed the coffee was awful too.

Went here last weekend and had a fantastic breakfast. Great choice of food, lovely staff and it all looked and tasted fantastic.

Always a go-to for me when I want a comforting vegan lunch and coffee

Came here for a working lunch and had the burrito, the breakfast potatoes, and some biscoff cake and ice cream. My friend had the bagel. I didn't realise that literally everything was plant based which was a lovely surprise. But literally best lunch I've had out in a while and I usually work out of a cafe a couple days a week. Not unreasonably priced for the quality and portion sizes, service was lovely and the atmosphere and decor were spot on too. I will definitely be back! My friend who isn't vegan said she had a great time with the bagel too.

Lovely food, beautiful scenery.

Have been visiting Hunter Gatherer numerous times for hot drinks and brunch. Always friendly, attentive staff with a good atmosphere. Great place to sit and do some work with lots of plug sockets upstairs and more seating down the back.

Perfect little place to have breakfast or lunch at. Everything is so tasty you can’t go wrong with any choice. Staff is really nice and accommodating.

Nice place, friendly staff. I had the full English and it was good. The place has a nice, cosy atmosphere and lots of seating space. It is clean and the service is quick.

We had a hearty lunch at this vegan coffee shop. It is found at the south east of Porthsmouth and it allowed us to walk back to the train station on the coastal road. The place is not so crowded and the service was fast. You can have a lunch and dessert in £12-£15. However, i would recommend serving the tea in a tea cup rather than a coffee mug. It makes a whole difference.

I waited in a line of 3...slowly moved up. No recognition that I was waiting- customer infrint had moved to one side. No ' sorry for the wait or ill be with you ...' walked away without coffee, my choice. Morning coffees should be quicker or at least slowly done with awareness and acknowledgement of other customers waiting.

The coffee is alway good and this vegan whippy style ice cream they have is some bang ting OMG

We came for some brunch- posh avocado on gluten free bread. The food here was scrumptious and the gluten free bread was a nice find - not the typical you get from the supermarket loaded with nutionally poor flours - we found out that they make it themselves - good on you! The desserts were also yummy - I had the brownie with some plant based ice cream. It was also lovely to see some dogs with their owners at the cafe.

Really nice food. (Not vegetarian) but enjoying trying the vegan food. Soo much choice. Lovely atmosphere friendly staff.

Amazing plant-based cafe in Southsea. The menu is quite big and varied, and the BBQ pineapple quinoa burger I had was really tasty. Friendly quick service too!

Have enjoyed a couple of visits to Hunter Gatherer recently, lovely quirky little cafe, the food is delicious, great choice, and the smoothies so tasty. I always enjoy their lovely coffees too. The staff are so nice and friendly. The cake selection is mouthwatering, particularly liked the carrot cake and the biscoff cheesecake! We will be back.

Fabulous Vegan Breakfast, great coffee

Really nice cafe. Fantastic tea and coffee. Tasty plant based food and lovely staff.

Great food great coffee and totally vegan!

Nice vegan food, unpretentious.

Incredibly tasty vegan food and delicious coffee. Cannot recommend it enough!!!

Perfect brew! Nice service and not a chain. Support local independents.

probably the best chai latte in Portsmouth.. vegan sausage rolls ( sausage definitely not included) and a great selection of cakes and pastries. especially the earl grey and blueberry bake.

Met a friend here for lunch. Very impressed with the interesting menu - I had the Singapore salad which was most enjoyable. I also enjoyed my first ever turmeric latte - I will definitely have one of those again. Good service and good value.

I have a takeaway coffee. Very lovely staff. Quick and sweet service. Recommended.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Was a regular customer and then got a job here and the management are lovely

Great food, very tasty, delicious smoothies and good service, and all vegan 👌🏽 i want to go back to try the coffee and the cakes

The best coffee we tried in Portsmouth - really great quality and delicious! Highly recommend the Oat Chai Latte or the Caramel Latte! Also, the server was super friendly and helpful with recommendations.

Absolutely amazing vegan food 😍 Definitely my favourite 😋

Great coffee, quick service, pleasant staff

Pricy but yummy vegan food. Will go back.

undoubtedly the best brew in Southsea, makes me happy everytime I have one here! so much better than other local coffee houses.

Great breakfast & staff! Will def be revisiting 😃

Amazing food and coffee, staff are lovely people, we were on a table near a sink though and did get a whiff of drain towards end of the meal, if it had been during meal would have put us off food, but we were lucky.

The best in town! people here are lovey and coffee is on point

Really good coffee and a delicious breakfast feed! Thank you team!

Lovely place for a takeaway or have in

Service was amazing Coffee was the best ever Cake was old, dry, hard (disappointing) Will I go again? Yes, definitely

Best oat decaf latte I’ve ever tasted 😎🙏👏👍

Great food and service. Very well set up to make you feel safe in these COVID times.

Great service, fantastic food, fair price 100% plant food kitchen

I am an espresso expert. I think their espresso has the best drink in Portsmouth. The customer service is nice. The Brazilian v60 is great .. I advise you about it .. there is one problem that it closes early

Birthday lunch here today.. Really lovely calm decor, the menu was amazing, and the Cajun Burger was a burst of flavours.! Lovely to be able to pick anything from the menu knowing it was all plant based. We'll be back 💚

I only signed up to Google reviews to leave one for this place. Amazing food!!!!!

Fantastic coffee, much better than any chain coffee shop. Great range of snacks/treats too suitable for all dietary requirements. Would recommend

Great coffee and hot chocolates, great cakes and friendly service
