  • coffee pot, nice cheap food in guildhall exeter. family run and nice friendly staff. Not posh by any means but clean and got for a chicken in a bun with chips!!
  • Herbie's - great vegetarian wholefood restaurant on North Street. Plant on the cathedral green is organic veggie. Boston Tea Party on Queen Street, funky coffee house.
  • Try and find the 'Sandwiched Inn' on Magdalen Road for great coffee and sandwiches- these guys also do the food at The Northcott Theatre!
  • The little cafe near the courts (just up from Michael Spiers jewellers)is a gem and sells the best coffee and also serves great food
  • the juice moose has brought sunshine and excellent food and drinks to exeter. fresh juices and home made cakes - the chocolate brownie is just fantastic
  • bostons tea party, cavern is quite good during the day 2 if u can stand the lil goth kids that fill up all the tables. cafe rouge 4 me - like being in paris bt nowhere near as cool
  • Not COFFEE PLUS - they drop rolls on the floor and still serve them (i should know used to work there)
  • dont go 2 boston tea party it a crap hole from hell i should know i use 2 work there the manager is a complete twat ps egg him please
  • Some of the bakers shops are good for a coffe and a pastie.
  • Bostons on Queen Street: Good place. Lets Do: on Fore Street: Sound Place, great coffee, one of the only places you can smoke. A new cafe is opening up at the top of the High Street by Henry's Bar that will apparently be doing live music aswell: like a cafe of Greenwich village in the 60's.
  • BOSTON TEA PARTY!! if you go nowhere else, go here! get the hot chocolate and head upstairs for a couchy thing! it's divine!
  • bostons tea party is nice but non-smoking and tends to be full of posh boys lately. cavern is a bit dodgy and full of baby goths but not bad, real mcoy in fore street is good for milkshakes!there seems to be a hell of a lot of caostas springing up everywhere too...
  • The Boston tea party is popular, it has a dilapidated chic to it, but in reality it's just grimey.
  • McCoys arcade cafe is lovely - loads of personality. And juice Moose has the coolest name ever - and so deserves a visit on the back of that alone
  • Bostons in Paris Street, Harleys cafe down Fore Street, The Tea Cosy in Heavitree.
  • the milkmaid, cafe rouge
  • The best place for coffee now is Harry's on Longbrook St,just down from The Black Horse.It's only open mornings but the coffee is the best and fairtrade,too.Check out their retro espresso machine as well.
  • Metzo used to be ruled by intelligent uni going sexy women and funny guys. Now its been taken over by cap wearing spotty ugly shit hair cut, red bloated shits. Kill them. Metzo you let yourself down. Now I guess the onyl good coffee shoop is Bostons or the italian place near MVC
  • Boston Tea Party is cool, its reallt studenty and they do white hot chocolate! Its definitely one of the best places in exeter.
  • anyway but McDonalds, KFC or Burger King. Also don't go into the Chinese that's towards Blue Boy gifts. Scary shit.
  • Boston's Tea Party
  • Dinasaur Cafe by the clock tower is a brilliant little place, well worth going to. The food is excellent value, some Greek dishes as well as your more regular stuff and the service can't be faulted. The only downer is if your a non-smoker, cos its all smoking.
  • The best cafe in Exeter used to be Boston Tea Party on Queen Street, but since its gone no smoking its lost the majority of clientelle and the foggy Amsterdam (ish) atmosphere. Now try Chumleys for lunch, Carved Angel on Cathedral green is gorgeous too! Metzo Cafe Bar for trendyness
  • Phoenix Arts Centre in Gandy Street is starting to happen
  • Crepes for fantastic pancakes! Bit tatty these days but food makes it worthwhile, it's tucked down Gandy Street.
  • That coffee shop behind Mol's...Oddfellows? (Sorry, been awhile since I've been to Exeter. Also, Debenhams tea shop on its top floor has nothing special except the incredible view of the city and countryside.
  • Th Boston tea Party on Queen St, opposite the entrance to the Guild Hall shopping centre is great. Go upstairs and there's a massive open space with comfy sofas, Sunday papers , board gamnes etc. Sometimes closed at weird times though.
