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.

Amazing vegan restaurant - Edit
The food is fantastic - great sandwiches (the reuben is my personal favourite), burgers, salads, chick'n wings, cakes ,smoothies, shakes and specials. They also sell vegan goodies including chocolates and chewy sweets. The staff are all lovely and the place has a great vibe. We always visit when we are in Southampton.

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 for a quick bite - Edit
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
Cons: Expensive , Too much sauce in the bowl, Would like more ingredients in a bowl

Pretty good - Edit
It's amazing to go to a cafe where you can order everything! It is horrendously expensive though. The children's nuggets weren't very tasty, the burgers were OK. I had the chicken style burger and it was battered, I don't like batter but that's my fault. We had whippy ice creams after and they were absolutely disgusting. I was a massive fan of whippy ice cream so I was really disappointed.
Read morePros: The surroundings, The fact it's fully vegan
Cons: Cost, Whippy ice cream, Kids nuggets

Conveniently located, it is easy to walk to and public transport goes past the front door. There is outdoor seating, extra seating upstairs, good music and a relaxed yet professional ambience. Plus Café Thrive holds a licence so you can add a beer to your lunchtime treat. We very much enjoy coming here when the city of Southampton beckons.

Great cake selection - Edit
There seemed to be a great selection of cakes, I tried one of the cronuts and it was very sweet but tasty.
Read moreThe atmosphere wasn't the most welcoming but maybe it was due to it being close to the end of the day or having an off day which is normal.
Pros: Lots of options, Close to the park
Cons: Staff were quite quiet/not acknowledging customers
