Artigiano, Exeter in Exeter

2nd time in past month. 1st time, table hadn't been cleaned and capachinos were like hot milk. Today, ordered 2 capachinos and it was not as flavoursome/coffee weak, as it used to be last year. Nice atmosphere.

Amy was so lovely and fast service. Made the night great. Made lovely cocktails. She was so kind and thoughtful, she was very friendly and thoughtful.

I’ve come to Arti for years and always loved it but tonight was the best night I’ve ever had. Amy made the best drinks ever! She was so lovely and helpful, as a group of four girls we felt safe and comfortable, the music was good and the atmosphere was great. We can’t wait to come back for more girls night soon!

Great atmosphere, great staff, great drinks! Went on a Friday night was extremely busy, a great atmosphere, the staff were amazing and the cocktails even better.

Awesome venue, great staff and service. Bartenders love to put on a show too! Can’t recommend enough and the food is lovely.

This spot is lovely for a night out or breakfast. Would recommend coming here before time piece or just a nice night out with the girls

Used to be really good but came today - took over 15 mins for a latte and a pot of tea by which time the cakes had been eaten. Same as the next table to us so not an isolated incident. Will definitely find somewhere else next time in Exeter after years of coming here?!

Great atmosphere, fantastic live acoustic music and singer on a Monday evening . The pizza was excellent and a good choice of drinks. I’d highly recommend.

Nice coffee, but the last 2 times I’ve been tables are filthy and don’t seem to be wiped. Cups and previous peoples plates are not collected unless you ask. I’ve been when they have been busy so assumed that it must be for that reason but came back on a quiet morning and still very dirty. It’s a shame because I like the vibe and the bar staff are friendly.

Called in mid morning, comfortable cafe/restaurant inside, friendly and efficient staff, good cakes and coffee, milkshakes overpriced, otherwise good coffee stop

We come to Exeter regularly but have never been here, we were looking a nice decent sandwich and drink. The sandwiches were so nice with proper bread, and drinks were great. Will return!

Amazing service - live music was so good! Cocktails were fab! Location is spot on! All round fantastic experience:)

Wonderful service and live music really set the vibe! Highly recommend the mojito Right in the centre of exeter can’t get more central than that :)

Great vibe, great drinks! Live music was good too. Service was prompt and polite. In the centre of exeter, easy to get to for a coffee while shopping or drinks before the club

Absolutely rubbish! Table service only but had to ask the staff to to serve us. Server had to be told each order twice, asked for an additional tip but included a service charge in the overpriced cost of the drinks. Poor on all counts, if I want over priced drinks I'll pick some where that doesn't pull your trousers down in future!

Food was excellent and good value! I had the full-breakfast, my partner had the banana bread, both of which were amazing quality and very filling. A new regular spot for studying or chilling with breakfast. Looking forward to trying the evening offerings too soon!

Great place for a night out. I was served by Caillin, Geoffrey, and Gintare. They were all amazing and very keen to help. Equally great for a coffee in the daytime.

Artigiano Exeter has a very nice atmosphere thanks to Geoffrey and Gintare they made our night very welcoming and warm , thank you very much to be that friendly with us .

The girls that served us were nice, cake was nice. There weren't many tables free and the ones that were had the remnants from previous customers. We had to sit on one of these. We were sat there for probably 25 minutes before the guy...

A lovely surprise in the centre of Exeter, just the place for meeting up and making plans. I always need a place to meet someone over a coffee or a light lunch, and this is the perfect spot. Great friendly staff, fantastic food and coffee...

I had stopped here and had a lovely breakfast before covid, so on our first return to Exeter since 2019 we aimed for here. We were a party of five and were given a choice of a table with eight standard chairs or another with...

Wonderful venue in Exeter centre. Staff were really geuine and accommodating. Great music. Great atmosphere. Great all round.

Really lovely places with great vibes and great drinks! Would definitely recommend to a friend and would come back again!

The bartender Olaf was very knowledgeable, also the bartender Shefan was extremely helpful with my drinks. I am knew to cocktails but the service, really pointed me in the correct direction. Definitely will visit again very professional and friendly c

Caillian was a great waiter. Really delicious cocktails and 5* service. Will come again with my friends.

Came today the bar staff were so friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was fantastic, very large range of drinks would highly recommend to anyone.

great experience with amazing coffee and art from red hair barista. staff were really friendly and the whole experience with my friends was really good! :)

Awesome love music and great bartender Stefan served amazing drinks all night with great charisma and humour will definitely be back!

Pleasant pasty and good coffee - only blot was having to give a table number when solo - not convenient to learn half along a queue or easy to reserve a table when alone

Made a special trip here for Sunday brunch as it looked great. Found it really difficult to access the menu by scanning the QR code in the semi darkness and then were told they were not serving brunch, we could only have coffee or pastries....

Tried to use toilet with my yto daughter but blankly refused by manager due to not being paying customer. Manager barely cares or looked over his laptop. Despite me being exmanagement for site and leaving on good terms. Terrible customers service

Artiganos on the jazz night on tuesday is lovely - such brill live music & really great vibes. the cocktails are delicious & excellent value, we will definitely be back a lot this autumn/winter. super cosy chill night!!

Visited for cocktails on Jazz Night. Excellent service, drinks and atmosphere. Would recommend any of their live music nights!

We went here for Jazz Night and it was great. Excellent vibes and lovely drinks. Highly recommend 👍🏼

We came with a couple of friends to jazz night. Lovely atmosphere, great music and good value drinks. Would highly recommend.

Following a really positive experience only two days ago I visited Artigiano again this afternoon just before 3pm for coffee and cake. Following a frosty reception and an under the breath comment from the server as I had not chosen my table with a number...

No. Thank goodness for the Phoenix Cafe Bar which is a short walk away, and where the coffee machine was more than an oversized paperweight at the ungodly hour of 7pm.

Stopped for a pick me up and got the best coffee, really well made. Unlike some coffee shops where you have to queue whilst each person's drinks are made, here the coffee is made at a separate counter and brought to you. Can feel like...

Visited this place again today after being impressed when we visited Exeter last time. So thought we'd Try again and it didn't disappoint...it was even more of a surprise it was the same lady who served us on our visit years ago!! Which is rare...

Evenings are very relaxed with music nights and Tuesday night is quiz night. So much fun with Adam in the hat. I'm not clever at quizzes but this one is good for me because it is varied and no one worries about winning. There's also...

The best watermelon Malibu cocktail! And great jazz band on Monday night. Definitely recommend, lovely night!

Visited Artigianos with my other half and treated him to a Full breakfast. It did not disappoint. Staff are so friendly and there was a relaxed atmosphere. A variety of cooked breakfast choices are available and this is complimented by a variety of baguettes,rolls and...

By far the best bar in exeter! The best cocktails and the friendliest staff, 10/10 customer service!!!

The best bar experience I’ve had in the UK. Amazing drinks and great live music - and unbelievably friendly staff! I’d definitely recommend this bar to anyone in Exeter!

Me and my partner went into Artigiano. Not quite sure if we where ment to just pick a table or be seated. So we went to the bar and where greeted by an extremely rude young woman with reddish hair. She didn't smile once and...

Ordered a breakfast special and a latte, the latte was fine but waited 30 minutes gor breakfsst agter being told it was on its way. It never arrived. Was given a refund for the breakfast after having to convince the staff that i'd actually paid for it. They were very rude and not helpful at all. Not going back again

Tad disappointed in the quality of service. Had booked a table but seems was just a free for all and booking not needed. Nice place and good atmosphere just let down by attitude of staff.

Visited for wine and snacks of a lunchtime. It was clearly very busy and staff seemed rushed off their feet. Unfortunately the few tables that were left were all dirty, so we ended up sitting at a sticky surface because all staff seemed super busy. I ordered some crisps on the app but they were out of stock, so I was told to choose a different flavour. Due to my dietary requirements, I asked to check the ingredients before I chose my replacement. The waitress just handed me four different packets of crisps and said she would leave me to choose because she was busy (!) I then had to go and find her again to say that none were suitable and therefore needed a refund. Whilst I was checking this, An elderly woman asked me where to order, I didn’t actually know having done it via mobile order at table. The 3 staff members were right next to me, could clearly hear her asking but didn’t offer her any help sadly. It is such a shame because the ambience is wonderful but as it’s not cheap, one would expect better service really.

..... Came to do Christmas shopping in Exeter today with my children. The woman who served me was amazing she made a fuss of my girls and one of them did not want to stop holding her hand! My children left happy and I was left happy! All to often I feel like a hindrance in cafés but not here!.... Reading other reviews I can't actually believe someone has blamed the staff for changes since covid????? Bizarre that someone would say something like that and then the review would still be on here? Great staff in my opinion xx

A lovely place for cocktails, very lively and happy atmosphere. Staff happy to help, drinks are quick

The atmosphere was buzzing, delicious drinks flowing and excellent service, would definitely recommend. Especially the porn star martini! Worth a visit!

Always a lovely atmosphere, accommodating and the wine is top notch. It’s a busy Friday eve and the waitress came out and recognised us. Nice touch! Loves it!

My first experience of Artigiano was for a coffee with a friend, but I have since come back regularly every week for the Tuesday night pub quiz hosted by Adam in the Hat. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating and I always look forward to my evenings out here! Definitely recommend booking if you're planning to attend the quiz though, as it always fills up!The pizza is also absolutely incredible, and when it's 2-for-1 before the quiz, you really can't go wrong!

Brilliant service and fantastic staff, the selection of cocktails was impeccable and would highly recommend the house special

Brilliant drinks and service, really enjoyed it!had the house special and it was great. Will definitely come back again

I used to be in here regularly (2-3 times a month) and the food and drinks were always spot on. Since covid though, it seems that corners have tried to be cut and the quality is not what it was. Food for brunch was disappointing, coffee is average, and cocktails are consistently unbalanced and stingy. On this occasion to write this review, we had an espresso martini which was bitter and undrinkable. Please return to how you were pre-pandemic, where quality was prioritised. Unfortunately won’t be returning any time soon.

Artigiano's is lovely and welcoming, the service we received (by our waiter Geoffrey) was incredibly friendly and the quality of the food here is fab!

My friends and I came here for my birthday l and we had an amazing time, the atmosphere on jazz night was amazing. The staff were told of the occasion and the band sang me happy birthday it was a fantastic experience. The drinks and service were some of the best I've received anywhere in Exeter. In a nutshell: a wonderful place to spend any evening

Lovely ambience, delicious coffee and cake and we had very good customer service by the staff we dealt with (Geoffrey). All around would recommend

We're having a coffee there five days a week, all the staff are very friendly and chatty. Andrea Kelsie Ula and Jessica are just a top stars! Thank you guys for a lovely coffee and your time! lots of love John and Ania xx

A series of disappointments ….I would like to start this review by voicing how deeply disappointed I am by the quality (or lack thereof) of the service at this restaurant. Having pre booked two tables of 6 as well as preordering our meals the night before, my party of 12 pals was excited at the thought of enjoying a lovely Sunday brunch. However, even upon arrival we were forced to wait and seat ourselves before finally being noticed by your staff. After being asked to order through the app, we spent the next 15 minutes attempting to order but with no success. We were then obliged to order at the bar, despite having pre ordered the day before. Not only we were rudely greeted by your staff, but we also found ourselves waiting over half an hour for our PREORDERED meals. Two members of our group were still not served after 55 minutes of waiting while they sat watching us eat our own. They were subsequently forced to demand a refund which has completely ruined the entirety of our day. We will not be returning at any point as this was an entirely disappointing experience.However, I cannot fault the kindness of the culinary staff who were extremely understanding with our issues and offered to re make our friends meals. + great tunes

Very Poor - Banana Frozen Yogurt Milkshake. No taste of banana. Very little frozen Yogurt. JUST A VERY EXPENSIVE GLASS OF MILK.

Great atmosphere, good drinks and lovely staff. Every one was really kind and I really would come again

Came here with some friends for a leaving do and was soooo in love with the atmosphere here! We had had abysmal service at another place and needed good vibes, so wondered in to find this place so spacious and such a buzzing atmosphere. Recommend to anyone who wants to have a relaxed, fun evening.

This is the best coffee espresso martini that I ever had. Love the atmosphere here and I love spending time with friends here

Love the ambience, the cocktails and the eclectic clientele. The margaritas are especially good. You can come for coffee and pastries in the morning, wine at lunch and cocktails in the evening. What more could you want?

Come out for work drinks after a dismal trip to a close by bar which shall remand unnamed. Fair to say the lively staff and the smashing playlist livened up the evening to what is and will be an incredible evening.

A really fun and relaxed place to have a few beers or cocktails, friendly atmosphere and you get the feeling you're living your best life. Life changing. Can't imagine drinking anywhere else.

We had such a great time. The energy in this place is amazing. All the staff are friendly and there’s plenty of space!

Good drinks, quick service. Really good atmosphere for drinks, classiest place in Exeter for sure! Xx

I love artigano because it’s got great music with lovely people that look after each other. It’s a great welcoming.

Such a good night, great cocktails, great music, friendly staff. I would really recommend this to anyone who is out in Exeter.

I literally can’t boast Artigiano enough to everyone! Best coffee place for morning and afternoon. Best bar in the evening! Awesome ambiance! Best cocktails in Exeter! Can’t get enough of this BAR!

Really good coffee and delicious food. Great atmosphere and decor inside and the outdoor seats are a brilliant place for watching the world go by.

My friend and I were waiting in the queue to order breakfast at 11:15 and got to the front, got told to go and order using the QR code as their front tills were busy so we were doing them a favour by making it less stressful for them. We then sit down and order drinks from the QR code and found you can’t even order food and drinks together on the same order so you have to pay double the service charge and double VAT on your items. Then we start to order food and find that as it had just turned 11:30 they were not taking brunch orders. So we go up to the till again and they still turn us away saying they aren’t taking any more food orders even though we explained our situation. On top of that drinks took at least 15 minutes to be delivered. I’m really not impressed with this service and would definitely not recommend coming here. Definitely overrated and way overpriced.

Be careful. ⚠️This bar charged us more for our drinks then the prices that they advertise on there website.As it may have been a genuine mistake I emailed them for an explanation but did not get a reply so I can now only assume that they are doing this intentionally.YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ⚠️

We stopped and had a drink outside. It was very pleasant sitting in the sunshine, watching the world go by. Very relaxing.

We booked a table for early evening drinks before dinner. Bizarrely we were given a table with 6 chairs for a booking of 8!We ordered using the QR code on the table, and despite only ordering cocktails the service was quick!Absolutely recommend for cocktails! However avoid the Zombie, it's gross!

Went for acoustic night, excellent duo playing and a lot of girls dancing, they were really enjoying themselves to the very good music A very good evening

Always a delight to visit this Espresso & Wine Bar in Exeter. Excellent coffee served in a warm & friendly atmosphere. All staff are attentive & treat you as a person rather than just a number. The morning Team today of Alex, Aneta , Chef Calum, Sasha & Nicole were all first rate. Alex in particular displayed efficient work-flow management skills & is always willing to go the extra mile for customers. Recommended 100%

Excellent service. Really kind staff. The drinks were really nice and will definitely be visiting again.

I had a very delightful experience. Andrea was particularly nice and the cocktails were very nice for the price (under £100 per cocktail) would recommend to anyone on 70k plus salary

Amazing service and the most amazing cocktails!!! Lovely atmosphere and such nice staff!! will defo be coming again!

Visited last night and was all kind of a bit meh.. cocktails on the more expensive side, and the smaller side too. Which is fine when you get quality… but the taste was like the pre-canned ones you get from supermarkets. Table wasn’t wiped before we were seated there, and I always have a bug bear for mandatory service charges. If it’s mandatory just put it onto the cost.. and give the customer the choice in what to tip. The staff weren’t a problem, but they just put drinks down at the front of the table, and not much else.

Despite the difficult circumstances with current restrictions etc, good manners cost nothing and were lacking overall. The girl who took my order and payment did not appear friendly or interested. I asked for a latte with hot milk in the cup and the shot of coffee on the side as I like it very weak. She assured me it could be done. When eventually another girl brought the drinks for my husband and myself to our table, my latte had the coffee shot in the milk so I explained what I'd asked for. She reported this to the other girl who came to our table and appeared quite belligerant that my drink wasn't correct, asking whether I'd like another coffee. Her attitude made me feel as if it were myself who had made the error. Good manners and the odd smile cost nothing and would have made the visit more pleasant.

Came in for a quick coffee, but realised there were craft beer on tap, and wow! It was so amazing but I didn’t catch the name of it. Great coffee. Great atmosphere.

Stopped in for a coffee and a bite and as always it was really good quality. Staff were friendly and attentive as always and the food was delicious.

I've been going to Artigiano since they started operating. I've known them to have a super friendly and helpful staff as well as excellent coffee, smoothies and food. Some time ago, I moved to another city, but I visit every time I am in Exeter. Unfortunately, perhaps due to Covid their opening hours are different than what the website says. I thought they'd be open from 7:30, so I arrived at 8:30 to be greeted with a note which said they'd be open at 9. I was only in Exeter for a day and a half and wanted to treat myself to their wonderful coffee and breakfast. I had to leave by 9:40, so I waited, even though there's a Starbucks on the opposite side of the road and it was open. A member of staff came out to set up outside seating and when I asked him at 8:58 if they're open, he said no. I waited on the bench nearby and saw other customers waiting and trying to get into the restaurant. When I had to leave I walked over to check if other customers were told something different. A young man was not friendly and gave no information. Then, a delivery guy from DPD arrived and the door was opened for him, so we asked the man again about the opening time (it was 9:30 by that point) and he said that they would not be ready for another half hour. We were all very annoyed, because if there's a staffing problem and they know that they cannot open at a designated time, it would be helpful to put a note on the door with some information.

We sat outside on a dirty table as none had been cleaned. Ordered coffee and in the meantime young girls decided to sit around a 2 seat table meaning there was no social distancing. Got coffee, asked for sugar and it took at least 10 minutes to recieve it and as we were outside the coffee was luke warm. Have they heard of COVID

Ordered on the app and thought I was buying tea for one so did a plus for two and then ended up with two pots of tea for four people! Ordered a cheese and tomato croissant and was told they did not have any said I would have an almond croissant instead which was £1.50 cheaper - this was not readjusted on the bill which I had paid for on the app? Turned out to be an expensive tea break!!

Dogs welcomed and fab coffee. Food looked really good also. Would come again and sample food next time, music evenings look good too.

Went for cocktails here. Service was good and friendly. The cocktails were also good and reasonably priced. Only let down were the Covid measures in place - our table hadn’t been wiped down and no track and trace system was in place when we visited in mid-September 2020.

Buscábamos un lugar para tomar un café relajante. Los asientos al aire libre no son apropiados hoy ya que estaba lloviendo mucho. Entramos en artigiano pero nuestros oídos fueron insultados por un aluvión de muzak ruidoso. ¿Qué sentido tiene esto? Habría sido imposible relajarse y tener una conversación mientras competía con un muzak ruidoso. Así que salió y fue a Starbucks (enfrente).

Slow service but a nice atmosphere and good bakery treats. Outside seating or plenty of room inside. One of the best almond croissants in Exeter

Great service, staff were lovely and helpful and made us feel very welcome. Emily was fantastic! Looking forward to going back

Served by some Mexican bloke very friendly excellent service top class👌 Asian barista very professional bet his familys pretty cool

Went for breakfast and had smoothies and pastries. Smoothies were delicious and freshly made. Pastries as expected - very good indeed.

We came to this venue before our meal at a different venue. We liked it so much that we returned after our meal and spent the rest of the night there, having drinks. Good atmosphere and very popular. You are able to book a table.

After an average meal elsewhere we called in to Artigiano for a coffee What a great choice - perfect coffees and our server was friendly, helpful and professional Thank you Inaki will be back very soon

Escribiendo esta reseña en nombre de mi padre, que es un visitante habitual de Artigiano. Siempre se apresura a elogiar al personal, especialmente a Octavian, que hace que mi papá esté en casa y siempre se asegura de que su bebida se sirva cuando entra al bar. En mi reciente visita a Exeter, no podía creer lo bien que trataban a mi papá y yo mismo me sentí muy bienvenido en Artigiano. ¡Realmente disfruté todos los cócteles que probé! Esto se ha convertido en el lugar al que mi padre irá el sábado por la tarde y definitivamente será mío la próxima vez que visite Exeter.
