The Exploding Bakery

I had high expectations for this bakery/cafe, but I was somewhat disappointed. The staff were nice, but not overly friendly, possibly due to the busy atmosphere. I visited on my way from St. David's station to the town center and tried a coffee cake. The coffee (flat white) was excellent, but the cake (banana chocolate loaf) was very dry and hard to swallow. I was grateful to have water with me. I also ordered a frittata and a side of millet squash, which looked promising but were just average. The frittata was heavy on the potatoes and both dishes were quite dense and dry. I may have made poor choices, but I probably won't be in a rush to return.

I 'm not hard to please, just a half decent coffee and a bit of respect and I 'd be 100% happy, but we got neither. The coffee was... weird.... not just highly roasted, it was actually 'sour '.

I stopped by this place to grab a coffee to go, but the woman who served me was incredibly rude.

Not only was her attitude off-putting, but the coffee was also too strong for my liking. I won't be returning.

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. Reserva una mesa ahora

Excellent pastry thingie with meat and fruit. And also one of the best Americanos I have had in a long time. Not necessary as we get used to boring morning black but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

Abysmal got chocolate that was more lukewarm than hot and was somehow lumpy no value for money. Came in a glass too which was off putting. Tiny inside with hard chairs not very relaxing. Overhyped.
