Woodmill Coffee Kitchen in Southampton

Excelente comida, servicio y café. Desayuno maravilloso. He estado deseando volver después de una estancia prolongada en Canadá

Excelente desayuno! Disfrutamos de los agricultores y aprendiz de agricultores; muy agradable ver una salchicha adecuada en lugar de alguna basura desagradable barato. También probé el Hongo Recolector de mi financiero en tostadas. Me encanta un desayuno tradicional carnoso, pero incluso yo lo consideraría la próxima vez. El café también estaba en su punto. Volveremos.

Terribles tortitas por el precio de las mismas. Completamente decepcionado y el niño se fue con hambre. Yo recomendaría que los hagan ellos mismos en lugar de comprar panqueques y rociar salsa en ellos y luego vender por £ 4. 50

Tuvimos un gran café y pastel. La cafetería es apta para perros y tiene un montón de asientos interiores y exteriores con excelentes vistas del río.

La comida era muy agradable, tenía los huevos benedict especiales con trucha, un montón de opciones vegetarianas y veganas en el menú y pasteles parecía delicioso. Lo malo de nuestra experiencia fue cuando vimos a uno de los chefs en su uniforme manejando lo que parecía un tanque de agua sucia y vaciarlo detrás del remolque de la cocina que dejó un olor horrible, antes de volver a cocinar. Seguro decir que estábamos bastante pospuestos considerando que el chef también estaba llevando comida a las mesas cubiertas de lo que solo puedo suponer que era agua sucia. Buena comida pero no volveremos con prisa

Very poor quality food, with stale cakes, very low standards, they cannot remember the orders they take. Would not not recommend and would not go back.

Absolutely love the Woodmill Coffee Kitchen, such a welcoming, friendly place with such lovely staff. Visited today on my dog walk for a hot drink and cake, always delicious, 5 star🌟

Unfortunately due to staff shortages the hot food menu has been much reduced recently - hopefully that will be resolved before the summer season. They still have a good, sinful, selection of cakes and other snacks. All food is served on paper plates and cups but with metal cutlery, it would better if they could use more reusable tableware. The tableware they do use is labelled as compostable but that is pointless when ALL of the waste including recyclable bottle and cans just goes into the same general waste bin. It shouldn't take too much effort to install waste disposal points with separate bins for Compostable waste (Food scraps, paper plates and cups), Recyclable (Cans and bottles), General waste plus a box for used cutlery.

Nice spot, on the Itchen; from the name, I guess an old wood mill. Nothing to look at and scruffy and noisy inside, but a certain shabby charm apart from the dogs - obviously a meeting point for the towpath dog-walkers. Paper plates and cups, but coffee acceptable and the food on offer and cakes seemed well presented. But what will stop us from visiting again were the dogs, especially those on chairs, with feet or chins on the tables, or cuddled by obsessed owners. No thank you. Dogs and food hygiene do not mix.

Let's start with the positives. The coffee is excellent, the staff friendly and it is dog friendly. However, the menu when we visited before Christmas was very limited due to 'staff shortages'. We last visited in February and the menu is still mostly things on toast or things in a bap which on their own are ok, but there is a lack of choice compared to the old, fuller menu. Also, the cakes have crept up in price but have diminished in quality and size. Dry, tasteless carrot cake and a tasteless, dry Pecan slice are examples of this and at nearly £4 they need looking at. I hope the 'staff shortages' in the kitchen are soon resolved and that some thought can be given to the menu range and quality of cakes etc as we do find the place welcoming and cosy.

A really lovely spot to enjoy on a walk. Worth noting that Riverside Park is VERY popular with dog walkers, so this place is very dog friendly. Which in my opinion is a positive. But it won’t be for everyone. Good range of food and drinks. My only gripe is I think it’s a bit pricey for what it is, but it’s a treat so I don’t mind paying. Staff are always friendly.

We had come down to Southampton to buried my mum and dad ashes as my dad from Southampton and the woodmill was my dad old family home. It was lovely to eat in what was my dad old family home and we come back when ever we back down in Southampton to see my cousins and my family graves. We try the sandwiches and my bf had one of your sausage rolls and had some of your pops and cakes as well

This cafe has everything going for it. Great location, good food at good prices, staff were very helpful & friendly today, I have been couple of other times & not so friendly. I really love the laid back style of the cafe and the building, but honestly, walked in with my 3yr old & could have tripped over all the dogs. It's a small space and 7 dogs in there. I had to really think about where to sit, didn't want a french bulldog at my ankles which was also yapping. Saw a dog owner let there dog jump up & put their paws on the table & the chair, dog hairs everywhere, dog hair on my sons trousers. As I said, love the place, but today was like dog kennels. Not sure how health & safety allows so many dogs. Some kids & people don't want dogs all around them. Sorry, but after today, not sure I could face all those dogs again. It must be a way of cafes to try & get custom. Such a shame.

Superb. Really lovely place before or after a dog walk which is exactly what we did today. Always busy but lovely friendly welcome and great coffee. Today we tried a full breakfast for the first time. It was amazing.. I see another reviewer complained of the paper plate.. even that is a decently made plate so hardly an issue! Our food arrived hot, freshly cooked with great sour dough toast, poached eggs, bacon, tomato, mushroom and quality nicely cooked sausages. It was lovely- even fancy ketchup. All served with a smile and a treat for my dog. Lovely place, will certainly go again. Lots of breakfast choices, cake and sausage rolls all home made. Whats not to like… thanks!

Honestly the best place to eat in the city - fantastic atmosphere and wonderful, kind staff. Brilliant location.

Italian drink special = Asda cranberry juice, Asda orange juice, soda water and loads of ice. Tasted dreadful. Charging £3.95 you’d expect something more luxurious than Asda juices. In a cost of living crisis it takes the mic out of the clientele. Never going again!!

Breakfast served on paper plates which means it goes cold.more quickly (I like to have hot food served on hot plates. Sausages were undercooked: grey is not a good colour for the outside of a cooked sausage and pink areas inside are not a good sign, also. Simple tip: sausages need 20 to 25 mins in a hot oven or turned regularly under a grillfor best results. They should have a brown colouration over all of the sausage surface to be certain they are properly cooked. Bacon was nice (thick sliced and tasty). Poached eggs.on toast: there was water on one of my eggs which dripped off onto my toast and so made it soggy. Avocado was nice snd the mushroom was OK. Overall not good value for money given the issues above. I suspect this is a good place for coffee, teas and cakes.

This is a favourite venue for me and my sister and our two dogs. We have been visiting for some time and have experienced a constant improvement. When it's warm we can sit outside with a view of the river and when cold/wet inside with its quirky decor. The only complaint would be that it's too difficult to choose from the fabulous, good value menu.

Great place to stop for breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake. Friendly staff and nice setting by the river. Delicious range of cakes and sausage rolls. The full English breakfast with Owtons sausages and bacon is particularly tasty and very good value too! Dog-friendly.

Riverside Park needed this place. There are some offerings at the triangle but they do not compare. Coffee: it’s goooood. They support a local roaster, and all their cups and lids are compostable. Food: Anything with a poached egg is utterly grand. The poached eggs, avocado and mango salsa is my firm favourite. Their sausage rolls are something else (turkey and cranberry and the cheese and pickle are lush) and if you like cake you will not be disappointed! On a sunny day you can sit outside and look out at the water, and on the wetter days hole up inside. This is a child and dog friendly spot. Plenty of high chairs, decent baby changing facilities too. Staff are lovely. Clearly a team that all get on really well. James, who heads this spot is clearly dedicated, and had a vision when he first started this venture during Covid. We’ve been coming here since it opened and love it! Parking is just a couple minutes walk away on Woodmill lane and is free. Whether you’re going for a stroll along the river or want a lush spot of brunch, you’ve got to stop here. Tip: closed on Mondays and food from the menu stops being served at 3pm.

A lovely hideout for walkers or just chill out visitors. A selection of snacks for breakfast or lunch and the most quirky selection of furniture. A big, free, car park nearby so what's not to miss?
