The coffee shop that Woolston deserves - excellent! Great atmosphere and menu. Would recommend!
Always friendly, helpful, good with dogs always offer water dogs. make good coffee and cocktails. Food can be hit and miss on the old menu particularly had a few things wrong with food before but sent it back and got a replacement no problems staff went out of way to make sure we were happy even offering free cake and coffee on one visit. I think the menu was a bit streched but since they cut it down haven't had any issues. various family members visit most Sundays usually have no issues with food. And very good disabled disabled access.
Food was amazing! I had the fried chicken breakfast wrap, really different and delicious!
The service is a bit odd though, counter service which means ordering and paying whenever you do, we sat around for a good hour after finishing with no plates cleared as to be honest could have had another drink each but with a dog and baby it was a bit awkward to go to the counter to order.
Best cafe in the area. We go there regularly for coffee and cake, and have been sometimes for breakfast, which is lovely.
It was a good experience because the of the value, taste and location but I won’t give 5 stars because sofas and carpet didn’t seem clean to me. A beautiful place like this at such important location must be clean and sparkling all the time. Interior requires more decoration and of course, cleanliness. I could be happier with a little more warm welcome but it’s okay as there’s no such thing as perfection. Took photos of menu for reference as it may help others.
There has been a definite improvement in the quality of the food. I had a full English with a nice flat white. Couldn't fault it. If I had to be really picky, I'd say it was more expensive than other places, but I was happy to pay for good food and service.
Real friendly staff who were very accommodating
A lunchtime meal of poached eggs on toast with a latte- eggs hot and with lovely runny yokes. Great service with background,music resulting in a relaxed atmosphere. Recommended 👍
A beautiful place to go for a family friendly breakfast or a business meeting. The food ranges and varieties for vegans are brilliant.
The staff are always extremely friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to help.
Parking is located beneath Mettricks and is 2 hours free parking.

Great cappuccino with oat milk and hot dark chocolate. Nice spacious room, so there is a lot of space between tables. There is also a big outdoor sitting space .
The food took 30 min, but the avo toast and the full English breakfast were really nice. The avo toast was quite spicy , lots of chilly flakes.
Second visit, it has a nice relaxing atmosphere, good cocktails and food, pretty view.
Visited with a friend, and we had a coffee outside, overlooking the water, which was lovely. It always takes a while for anything to get to the table, so it's not the place for you if you're in a hurry. I had a latte, and they seem to come in a glass cup with no handle. So you either can't hold if it's hot or it's lukewarm. Usually, the latter. I have returned in the past, but always forget to ask for a normal cup. I enjoy going to Mettricks, but it has its drawbacks.
I like Mettricks as a brand, and really hope for all the success possible, but this location always just feels empty and lacking in real ambience. The food and drink is good, but that's sadly not everything when you're socialising.
Also, the drinks menus were literally replaced middle of an evening with new ones that were more expensive. Quite why the staff couldn't do this for the next day, instead of rolling it out in the middle of service, I'm not sure.
Portswood and City Centre are both much more pleasant in terms of having a nice buzz to them.
