This cafe is set on the corner of the bottom end of town, there's a parking lot 2 behind the cafe so plenty of parking (paid). There are a couple of seats outside the cafe and seating inside. There was a downstairs but I don't know if this was toilets or extra seating. The cafe is really cute inside, it's very rustic with a nice atmosphere. The gentleman serving was lovely and really friendly. The coffee was really tasty, there were cakes but I didn't fancy any food so, unfortunately, I didn't sample them. The person I was with did though and said the brownie was delicious. I don't often come down this end of town so it made a nice change but the coffee shop is definitely worth a visit and is reasonably priced too.

Great speciality coffee shop with a full espresso bar and a nice pourover brew bar of v60 and chemex. The baristas are really friendly and approachable and have a brilliant coffee knowledge as well as being very well trained. The space is small and cosy with a great atmosphere, but it does fill up quick. They have a menu full of amazing food, we ordered the cinnamon toast when we went yesterday a long with a couple of v60 pourovers and a flat white. All made excellently and all were delicious. Also has a range of coffee and coffee items for sale.

Probably the best coffee I have tasted, well presented at a good temperature. It would be easy to walk or drive past and not notice this coffee oasis.

One of my favourite cafes, ever since we moved to Exeter which is about 3 years, it never disappoints. Great customer service I always get looked after as a customer. Amazing coffee and food , especially the pastries. It is a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. I recommend this cafe to anyone that just wants a coffee.

What an absolute gem this place is! It came up on times magazine as one of the top things to do in Exeter. Well they weren't wrong! A very friendly gentleman took our order, We both had probably one of the best tasting coffees ever along with a fresh croissant with ham and cheese. We then had the pleasure of meeting the owner Simon. He was so kind and took us to the basement showing and telling us all about how they make their coffee on site, it was so interesting ! After asking Simon if he did pods for our coffee machine he explained that although he didn’t I could but empty pods and he could grind the beans to the correct size for us. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend visiting

Lovely little coffee place to sit and relax on a lunch break! Matt made me the most delicious out latte, and I was able to sit and read my book in peace! The atmosphere is lovely, the windows let in so much gorgeous warm light. I had the vegan rocky road, which was extremely tasty! Highly recommend
