Lovely coffee that has an aroma that floats out of the cup. The carrot cake was superb, gently spiced with fab icing.

We had a fab lunch today. A millet salad that was just bursting with roasted veg and flavours be and a frittata that was moist, tasty and delicious. Plus excellent portions

We are new to Exeter and came upon this place on our walk from the station into town. It looked interesting so we had an excellent quality coffee and then another. I noticed the lovely looking sandwiches so we decided to eat here too. The quality was fabulous and the prices are fair about £6.
