Mettricks Woolston

Mettricks Woolston is where coffee, community, and riverside charm come together. Overlooking the beautiful River Itchen, the café offers a large sun terrace perfect for soaking up the sunshine, watching the water, or enjoying stunning sunset views over Ocean Village. It’s a place made for lingering - whether meeting friends, taking a quiet moment, or walking your dog along the river.

About Mettricks Woolston

Housed in a bright, welcoming space with cosy corners and airy interiors, Woolston is designed to feel like a true neighbourhood café for Woolston and Centenary Quay. Families gather for long brunches, friends meet for games night, and larger groups are always welcome. Cycle groups benefit from secure courtyard storage, and regular events such as quizzes and live music bring the community together. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, the café stays open late with 2-for-£10 cocktails, beers, and pizza, the perfect way to enjoy the evening with friends.

Every cup, every bite, and every conversation reflects our love of craft, community, and connection. Proudly independent and rooted in Southampton, Mettricks Woolston is more than a café, it’s a space shaped by the people who fill it.
