Shaz you were fabulous! Super friendly and welcoming! Came here for lunch with my two younger brothers and my dad and was fab! I have coeliac and I felt super safe ordering with them and the food was so delicious as always! Highly recommend. I had the beef burger which was huge and so yummy. Also the kids pancakes were incredible!

Phenomenal food. Stands up to the hype & exceeded my expectations. The people were delightful, and the food and drink pairings exquisite. Unusual food flavour blends and profiles that work incredibly well, beautifully cooked and presented. Delivered a dining experience worthy of every plaudit - and a gluten free dining experience that surpasses any other I have had.

The baked good are unreal! Especially the cinnamon rolls and doughnuts. Lots of gluten free cakes too. Sandwiches look delicious (though I haven’t personally tried). Everyone is so friendly and up for a chat. Dogs are welcome and drinks are lovely - what’s not to like! Just make sure you get there early if you want your pick of baked goods :) Perfect stop on a quay walk or for a catch up with friends.

Great food, atmosphere and table service. The portions are generous and the prices are good. One thing I am a big fan of is that you get an actual bottle of mayo/ketchup not a teeny pot or sachets - no rationing here! The cafe is comfortable and is accessible for wheelchair which is always a plus. Gluten free options available and the staff were clued up on allergies. Absolutely no complaints at all, it was a lovely experience.

A beautiful and spacious new cafe in the city centre. The coffee is very good, the brownies are delicious, and there are gluten free options (ask if you don’t see them in the displays). The cafe is step free so suitable for wheelchairs, also dog friendly, and the staff are lovely. No complaints whatsoever!

Chilled atmosphere, popular, very close to central station. Fairly newly opened October 2024 currently. Staff were friendly, engaging and knowledgeable about the product range. I had two espresso drinks one was decaf, had the gluten free chocolate cake which was amazing!! Just have that 😁👍. Relaxed place , chilled music. Definitely in my top three coffee shops in Exeter. Keep up the good work. Good range of food but didn't have the appetite to try too much.

Honestly amazing. The owner (Howard) is a good looking young man but has appalling fashion sense. If I could give one star for fashion I would. We only ventured out into Exeter as we were on our way back from Cornwall and my girlfriend and I loved the vibe, coffee and food. Amazing gluten free options and the staff were so friendly. Will definitely come here again!

Despite some of the negative reviews about this cafe I love it. The staff are lovely and smiley, very helpful and make the cafe atmosphere just right. I come here all the time for coffee/cake or food. They have a range of gluten free options (that actually taste good for gluten free). I find this cafe quite relaxing and I usually use it as a study place. If you’re in the area or fancy a cuppa, give this place a try ❤️
