Delicious - Edit
Our first visit to Offbeet Southsea was absolutely wonderful. We were so sad when they closed their Wickham restaurant. This latest version has been decorated beautifully and the food is delicious. A perfect lunch. We will return and spread the word!

Absolutely insane food, everything is so delicious and well thought out, every flavour combination is amazing, can't speak of this place highly enough! Loved the new forest branch too and the fine dining experience and care taken carries over completely. All the staff are lovely too 🩷 #Veganuary

Highly recommend - Edit
Myself and a family member went here for lunch. We just picked two random things off the menu as we were undecided. Both meals tasted delicious. We couldn’t choose which one we preferred. I also bought a Malteaser blondie to have at home and it was divine! I will defiantly be going back.

Lovely for a light meal - Edit
Visited for brunch and it was perfect 🫶 beautiful spacious cafe with delicious food and a big range of cakes to choose from. The portions aren’t massive for the price but everything is so tasty. We will be back - hopefully on a day where the sun is shining so we can sit on the terrace!

Brunch of dreams - Edit
Heavenly solo brunch date. I have been on a mindful quest to take myself out for lunch/dinner. The staff were super cool and friendly and the surroundings felt so relaxing and inviting. The dosa is a must go back for kinda vibe and the kale crisps. Omg they are just too lush

More GF and non-meaty options needed - Edit
I used to visit Offbeet in Wickham regularly and loved the menu as it focussed on how brilliant vegan food is by truly celebrating fruit and vegetables for what they are. The whole menu used to be gluten free but in Southsea there are only 2 options on the menu with some brownies on the counter. The new offerings mainly try to be fake meat or similar and it puts me off ordering them. I’d love to see Offbeet go back to their roots. Cake and coffee until then please.
Read morePros: Vegan food, Great cakes, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Not enough GF options

Creative and delicious! - Edit
We visited while on a weekend away, originally just planning on stopping by for a coffee and cake. Once we saw the full menu it looked so nice that we decided to try a couple of the brunch dishes first. Both were just so interesting and full of flavour - keep thinking of them now, two days later and will definitely have to go back as soon as we can! (Too full for cake after but bought several to take home and share with family later - can confirm all were also delicious!)

The best!! - Edit
I have followed Offbeet for a number years at a number of different locations, and I will continue to do so! Their newest location is stunning, and full of amazing food as per usual. We got the to’fish tacos and new forest mushroom French toast. The staff are all lovely and welcoming, and you need to stop by even if it’s just for a cake! You won’t regret it.

Worth the ££ - Edit
It's pricey because it's real food, fresh, good ingredients and all make from scratch. I couldn't go often but it is ver much worth every penny.
Read moreMy mushroom french toast was creamy and delicious, but next time I'll have it on sourdough, as I needed some crunch texture rather than all sorts, but my friend loved the French toast - it's good you get the option.
My partner had the Indian pancake and loved it. It was filled and topped with tasty vegetables and nicely spiced. There was plenty in all our portions, very filling. We finished with a shared orange and chocolate brownie and coffee. Vegan brownies ones are sometimes dense and heavy , but this was light and fresh.
Their coffee is delicious.
There's a help yourself water tap to the side of the counter but the glasses are tiny, more like shot glasses so you either keep going for a top up or ask for a bigger glass. The staff seem to be getting used to this so I'm guessing alot of people ask.
All in all pricey, but great value for the quality of the ingredients and cooking expertise that you get.
Welcome to Southsea Offbeet. We're very happy to have you here.
