Just so friendly. Staff were amazing. Food as even better! Large portions and so so tasty! Definitely recommend having a bit here. Exceptional

Great place, the special main meal lunches are always fantastic. Both the casserole and Thai green curry were gorgeous. Lovely place to chill out, and always great & friendly service.

Such a lovely vegan cafe to visit when in Exeter and in a great location right by the cathedral. The staff are so friendly (and Swifties!) and the food was delicious! I went for the pancakes with syrup and vegan bacon and it was 10/10. Would definitely visit again next time I'm down Exeter way

Such a needed meal when travelling through Exeter. We saw the reviews and finding a fully vegan place is always a win! We arrived, greeted by a knowledgeable and friendly team with plenty of options including gluten free! One of the best eating out experiences we’ve had in the 5 years of being vegan. If we were local, we’d definitely come here on a weekly basis. Sooooo yummy!! Thanks guys!

Amazing food, the best vanilla milkshake and lovely staff. Lovely setting opposite the Cathedral.

We stopped here on our way home from Cornwall and we were so pleased we did! A really good selection of food, some ‘fake meats’ and some homemade. My husband had the ‘chicken’ burger, I had the veg soup with a gorgeous toastie. I wish I’d had room for some dessert or cake, but it just means I’ll have to go back at some point soon!

My favourite place to go for breakfast when I have time. The staff are amazing and super kind. Food is lovely and the sandwiches are massive!! Huge menu with loads of choices for both breakfast, lunch and drinks. We usually get milkshakes or coffee but both are great every time. Cannot reccomend enough for local and visiting vegans. Love to support local businesses

Great place! Fantastic vegan food and drinks served here by friendly staff in a clean and cosy cafe by Exeter Cathedral. During this visit I arrived just after the kitchen had closed but they were incredibly helpful and served me a falafel ...
