Me and my ex were out in town and wanted to eat some good breakfast. My mom recommended this cafe to me, saying that it looked quite good and that they served healthy and real food. We decided to try it out and eat there, when we arrived we saw that there was a selection of healthy foods for sale (snacks and stuff). There is a nice upstairs seating area with a good view which we decided to go up to. We ordered two wraps, smoothies, and a side of skin on fries. The smoothies came first and they were really good, made with fresh fruit and it was clear they were made with good ingredients. They tasted really nice. The wraps were huge portions and came with a side of salad and presented really well in what looks like recyclable / eco packaging. The wraps were full of meat and sides and were really filling. The skin on fries were not greasy and tasted really fresh, it was very clear that the ingredients were high quality. Overall the food was amazing, albeit not cheap, but I think that the quality makes up for it. Would highly recommend for fresh and tasty food with a nice view.

First time visit to this great cafe in Southampton. All dishes are vegan and many are gluten free. I had the 'meaty' burger with fries and a peanut butter cup milkshake. My lunch partner had a mocha and a whole food burger and sweet potato fries and we both really enjoyed our dishes. The portions were generous, so much so that I skipped pudding but took home 2 portions of their special that day, seitan Irish stew with sourdough rolls, which was amazing. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, there is plenty of seating upstairs and down and you are requested to find your table before you order and it is brought to your table when ready. The prices are very fair and whether you are vegan or not, I would highly recommend a visit to this funky, cool cafe for a decent slap-up lunch.

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!

Lovely little place to grab some food with so many vegan options. The hoisin fries and cheesecake was amazing, so I definitely will be back to try more. The lady that served me was very friendly. As it’s small it can get busy so unfortunately we couldn’t get seated so got it to take away. I will add I won’t be using the silver cutlery when I return as I observed a male member of staff picking up the clean cutlery at the fork, knife and spoon end with his unwashed hands after clearing dirty tables, touching food etc… not hygienic at all. Thankfully there was wooden cutlery. Best vegan option in town so I will be back next time!

Fabulous place, will visit again. Great atmosphere, good location by the park, wonderful on a sunny day! it wasn't 'crowded' just busy on a saturday lunch time and didn't take long to get our food! I ordered a fried 'chicken' burger and chips and it was wonderful, very naughty, even got a slice of cheeze! I coupled this with a cookies and cream mylkshake - which was divine! The pictures speak for themselves! Wonderful, friendly staff, fantastic food- southampton- you are lucky to have this place! I Wish I lived closer!
