Drakes Cafe in Exeter

Directed here by a competitor trader who was full: a good choice. Tucked away out of view of the Cathedral Green, this might not be the easiest find, or the one with the best view, yet it's certainly well worth seeking out. For starters, they know their coffee (Origin beans) and how to make it, with appropriate strengths per cup/option/size. Amazing portions with a limited yet stunning menu options. The "mixed ploughman's" is ginormous and would satisfy any hungry farmer, whilst the sourdough with avocado,fish 2 eggs and salmon was extremely good! Friendly service with attention to detail. Limited outdoor or indoor seating. Customer toilet.Recommended.

What a lovely gem of a place to eat! The food was just fabulous - prawn sandwich, absolutely stuffed full of prawns, delicious soft bread - generous portions.The man serving us in the patio was so helpful & cheerful.It really was a delightful experience. Thankyou.

My husband and I enjoyed a really delicious breakfast I was especially pleased to be able to order a smaller meal which was just right. Great value for money. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Went there for breakfast. Lovely food, great value and super friendly staff.

Stumbled upon this charming cafe in my search for brunch. Absolutely lovely cafe, very popular and delightful staff. The veggie breakfast was awesome - will return!

What a lovely place to eat and drink with friendly helpful hard working staff, very high standards on the quality of food. I'd recommend the carrot cake it's the best I've ever had.

Good reasonable priced menuWent back the next day and had a lovely English breakfast.Another day and this time the all day brunch and a jacket potato. Lovely!

Don’t know about the coffee. But I do know about the “bistro”. Ordered a quick Grilled cheddar sandwich as mentioned in the menu. And what I got was a cold white plain bread with white cheese. I asked if they could make it hot, grilled. The lady took it away as complaining and came with the bread kind of grilled, but no grilled cheese, and definitely not cheddar and said “That’s the best we can do”. Well it’s a shame, because it’s very poor. There’s some nice tables outside, close to the church walls, but don’t feel tempted...food not worthy

Couldnt have been more friendly. Tried for 1hr and a half to find food when we came across this wonderful bistro.Generous portions at a generous price.My partner recommends the chilli mountain.
