Was Anonym at Exploding Bakery a mag?
Brilliant and authentic cafe, right next to Exeter Central station, offering a range of drinks, fresh bread, sandwiches, cakes, coffee beans and well sourced range of wines, cider, but no beer unfortunately. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Exploding Bakery:
Honestly one of the best bakery's you'll find in the South West or indeed England. You can't beat their cake, you can't beat their coffees. I'll comeback and visit every time I'm down! View all feedback.
