Hands down the best pastries in Exeter! Great hospitality! Excellent coffee as well (always the perfect temperature)
This little gem of a bakery is run by a lovely couple who work hard making all their pastries, bread, cakes and cookies from scratch.
One of the only cafes in Exeter to open early, great for a pre-work coffee.
Prices are fair and reflect the great quality of their pastries and ingredients used.
Like all great places there will probably be a queue, so try to go early to avoid disappointment.
The pastries here are AMAZING and the coffee is really good coffee! The staff are polite and they bring the drinks to you once you've ordered. Just a warning because it is small there are lots of stools and only a few actual chairs, so if you have mobility problems check there's a chair before you order. However saying that, we keep going back as the quality is the best in Exeter.
My favorite cafe in Exeter! The pastries, sourdough bread and cakes are so delicious :’) Today I had a weekend special cruffin with creme fraiche custard and housemade jam (it was one of my faves!!) —but the weekend flavors change all the time so expect something new. The coffee is also amazing, served in beautifully made ceramic cups. They have a house espresso, as well as a rotating guest one for an up charge, plus a daily filter brew. The space is super cool and chill, great music, etc. but can be VERY busy on the weekends. So be prepared for things to sell out fast and to be vying for a table.
Superb quality of pastries! I love their cruffins, they are delicious. Bread is great also! I would prefer different opening hours but I understand how early they need to get up to make all those things.
Super yummy vegan blueberry muffin, great size and deliciously moist! Perfect size oat flat white, the coffee was really smooth and not bitter. Cool vibes, thank you!
Set out on foot to find a coffee shop and stumbled across this gem. Coffee was superb and the pastries that we tried were so yummy!!
A friend and I we t early Saturday morning and it did not disappoint. Coffee was delicious as was the pastries. We will be back
Recommended to me by an acquaintance who works in the food industry, made sure we visited whilst on holiday. So good we went back twice. Excellent small batch sourdough bread (get there fast, comes out around 1030)- up there with the best I’ve tasted. Coffee - great choice - guest coffees available too - great rotation of excellent roasters. Other non coffee drinks not an afterthought- (nice softs). Pastries - changing menu with core faves - Almond croissant and cookies were especially good. Well laminated viennoiserie -
a slightly heavier dough if you want to be particular and comparative to the market. Cinnamon bun was not too sweet which is refreshing. Would loved to have tried the whole range but alas no time or stomach space! Saw a focaccia proving pre-oven which looked incredible but couldn’t stay to wait for it to bake. What I think is most important to note that this is a small batch handmade bakery - how they both make /bake everything in house and also makes the coffee too I have no idea - what a super team with a lot of skill and talent. Both super friendly and happy to chat too. Dog friendly and stylish space and also nice to be out of the city centre. Will be sure I return if in the area again.
