Food Quality

Pros:

• "Absolutely the most delicious food."

• "Fantastic all Vegan cafe with great food. A large menu with all the usual, burgers etc... The salads are big & delicious."
• "The food at Cafe Thrive is incredible, and there’s so much choice!"
• "Absolutely the best vegan restaurant I have ever visited and I've been to 23 countries and lived in the USA (San Francisco and Boston)."

Cons:

• "The wholefoods vegan burger tasted nice but fell apart completely when trying to eat it with my hands."
• "Food that I saw looked good but I had the impression the guy talking to me was senior there and I don’t like that sort of attitude at the best of times, doesn’t reflect well on the place."
• "The food is definately healthy but it can be a little bland."
• "Rather than be a vegan restaurant focusing on health, the focus is on avoiding meat in an uncreative way. I’d classify this as vegan junk food."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "Service is fast. Incredible vegan food & drink."
• "Staff were really friendly and accommodating as well."
• "Such a nice, welcoming environment with very friendly staff."
• "I've ordered from here online only until today, every order has been great but eating in house....So cosy! Such a nice atmosphere, staff are lovely and friendly."
• "Had the signature breakfast and it was a treat - even better was the brownie bowl! Prices not bad at all for the centre of Southampton, and a convenient location to boot."
• "Great vibe from this cafe, very flexible on dietary requirements, lovely staff, food was great."
• "The staff were very lovely and handled the problem well - remaking our burger (no extra charge) and giving us a new bag."
• "The staff we very friendly x there was so much choice on the menu it was hard to decide x they had a cake bar at the back of the shop so we chose cakes to take home as we were super full with our mains x I chose one of the salad bowls x with about 8 different ingredients sooo amazing I couldn't it it all x I'm definitely going back to try one of the other amazing menu choices 😋😋"

Cons:

• "If you close at 9, stop taking orders at 9."
• "However, I think, with all due respect, they need a little bit of a kick up the rear because they're a bit too chilled out sometimes, and not apologetic enough when things go wrong."
• "Food is good, but the service is pretty bad. Today I was summoned because I brought inside the tea I bought somewhere else and I haven’t finished yet."
• "Poor display of menus and the chap behind the counter come across a little rude when I asked for a menu; was quite short and abrupt."
