On The Water Cafe
Inside On The Water Cafe
On The Water Cafe is a laid-back spot on Weston Parade in Southampton, perfectly suited for anyone looking to unwind after a stroll along the waterfront. With its casual atmosphere and friendly staff, it serves as a natural meetup for locals and visitors who want a good coffee or a simple, satisfying bite.
The cafe’s setting works well for dog owners and families alike, as it’s dog-friendly with treats like PupCups, and close to a year-round dog beach, making it easy to combine a morning walk with a coffee break. You'll often find regulars popping in for breakfast or a midday pick-me-up, appreciating the clean and welcoming space.
Menu highlights point to comfort staples such as cheeseburgers and classic coffee options like cappuccino lattes and affogatos, suggesting an easygoing food and drink lineup rather than anything fancy. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in with a properly made coffee or enjoy a casual bacon and egg bap that consistently hits the spot.
On The Water Cafe strikes a balance between being a spot to recharge and a social stop where people exchange friendly conversation. The quiet corners and clean facilities also make it inviting for those who want to relax without the rush, while a bit of fun is close by with a pitch and putt course nearby for a laid-back afternoon.
Best times to visit tend to be after a walk along the seafront or before heading out to enjoy local outdoor activities. The crowd is mixed — from dog walkers and local regulars to visitors who stumbled upon the place and appreciated the easy vibe and welcoming hospitality.
