Coffery and Co in Exeter

Generally don't submit bad reviews - life too short, but was quite offended by this place. First ever visit here today, tho I often come to Exeter and go to lots of cafes with my laptop to work, and generally have a good experience. So went in and approached the counter, where the staff quite honesty looked annoyed at my presence. Was curtly told to take a seat, which I did, and then come back and order. Found a seat and went back to counter and asked for the £6 bacon sourdough sandwich and hot drink deal. Again, staff were quite unfriendly and then rang up the order and asked for £8 something. When I pointed out that it was £6 they looked really fed up and the manager tried to make out that I was ordering the wrong thing for the deal, which I wasn't. I then went back to my table and asked if I could work on my laptop and plug it in (something I always do out of basic curtesy). The sandwich came and had one rasher of bacon in it, and the cortado I'd ordered was the worst rendition of that Spanish classic I've ever tasted - 6 quid for that!! Anyway, I ate (as was hungry - this was my breakfast), worked for a bit on my laptop and left about 40 mins after I'd gone in. The staff completely ignored me as I left, even as I attempted to say goodbye. The bad food I can accept - its basically for students who know no better, so the place can rest on its laurels - but I was treated by the staff as though I was just some enormous turd that they didn't want in there. They were clearly students, and I guess it being Exeter, were of the spoilt, self-entitled variety who feel that basic manners don't apply to them? Who knows - anyway, won't be going there again!!

A fab independent coffee shop. Very rustic and cozy inside. Was given a warm welcome. Coffee was hot and delicious. We didn’t eat but the menu looked good. We shall have to return! x

We have been to Coffery and Co several times over the last few months and it is our favourite place to go to for coffee in Exeter! We pre booked our table for today and brought our grandchildren for an extra special treat before the panto! The coffee was delicious, the freshly cooked pancakes were out of this world and the smoothies a huge hit! Despite being short handed the service was 1st class and the team really made us feel special! Thoroughly recommend this excellent place!

I don’t normally leave a bad review on Tripadvisor or any others. However so, this place seriously needs to improve their services. So I am reporting as it happened at 4pm on 19/10/2021. We (as a couple) went into Coffee & Co in Exeter for just a coffee stop. My partner went to the counter and asked if they still serve ‘eat-in’ customers. The male server said yes. He advised my partner to sit at any tables to waiting for a table service as we’re ‘eat-in’ customers. We sat down by the window. The menu was on the table so we had a look and decided our order. 5min went, nobody came to take our orders. I went to get some self-serving tap water. 10min went, still nobody came. All we could see was all the serving staff members including the aforementioned male staff chatting to each other by the till. My partner went to the toilet and called for an attention. He was given the menu by the staff. No body came for another 5min. So we were wondering about their service. Was it an intentional ignorance? If not, all the staff members there were too busy for chatting and also being super forgetful about their work? For another a few minutes went but nothing happened. Obviously we walked out the door. One of the female staff members said a loud ‘bye’ to us as we walked out. I wondered if she ever knew we didn’t get served for anything. Nor we paid for any items even if we were served, then? It’s a real shame because it could have been another nice review to drop if we had a nice coffee and a good service. But the truth was that we got never been served and waited for more than 15min for nothing. I grew up in London so I know the fact that none of the bad businesses like this place would never survive in a bigger city. To be fair, our visit to Exeter/Devon had been super wonderful up until the moment we went into this coffee place. Just to prove that we were there, I took a photo of the menu. All I can say is that there’re many other nice coffee places nearby. So please go other places if anyone wishes to have a good coffee break in Exeter. Needless to say that I’d not hire any of the staff members there today if this was my own business to look after.

Lovely coffee stop with great cakes and lovely bagels. The decor is nice and contemporary with a focus on the coffee. Service was really friendly and despite bring busy very timely. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely cafe serving deliscious breakfast and coffee. The service was friendly and the breakfast we've ordered was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Great options for kids too. We'd come here every day if we stayed in Exeter for longer. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a coffee and a chocolate brownie in a great coffee shop.. Really enjoyed the smoothie. Good service and felt very welcome on a very wet day

If you love delicious food, excellently made coffee and lovely staff, this is the place to be in Exeter. Very reasonably priced for the excellent quality - the food definitely impressed (go for the cumberbatch bagel.) The coffee is delicious, excellently roasted and made by talented staff. I shall absolutely be returning

Delicious coffee and even nicer food. We've eaten brunch here several times and their eggs Benedict is delicious and the eggs perfectly cooked. We also recommend their take on egg in a hole. Everything is a good size and reasonably priced.

Friendly atmosphere, good hot chocolate. Only criticisms are that the drinks are a little on the expensive side and the cafe itself is a little dark.

Called here for a coffee break. Top class coffee and choices of coffee and brewing methods. Highly recommended.

Only recently discovered Coffery and Co but it’s lovely! Love that there’s no extra charge for plant milks and their drinks are so nice. Really friendly staff too. Would recommend the oat hot chocolate and the oat maple & cinnamon latte!

Great little stop for coffee in the heart of town. Table service or takeaways available. Recommended.

Such a gem of a place! Iced salted caramel latte with cubes of coffee jelly was amazing. Everyone was so friendly, great choice of cakes including gf and vegan, really yummy lemon drizzle, and the lunchtime food looked lush, we’ll definitely be back :)

Was going to be a creature of habit and hunt down BTP for breakfast but thought I should be supporting local independents at this challenging time. Opted for my usual go to of pancakes with maple syrup and bacon - a huge stack of large but light pancakes arrived with lots of bacon and maple syrup - delicious. Flat white was also really good. Service was efficient & friendly. All in all a good choice.

Have popped into Coffery quite a few times over the past months, and can honestly say these guys are the bees knees! Coffees are brilliant - so much stuff to try, the cakes are out of this world and the staff are wonderfully welcoming and...

I stumbled across this place and it was the best find! The staff were really friendly, flexible and accommodating, while the food was some of the best I’ve had at a cafe. This is a great addition to the Exeter cafe scene!

Visited here 18th Aug, upon arrival we were greeted by the bubbly blonde employee with the fringe (did not catch her name) who made us feel very welcome and seated us quickly. The coffee was to a high standard and the bagels we ordered were...

Really friendly new place with great coffee, nice snacks and pleasant service. No extra charge for oatly!

Discovered this absolute gem yesterday with my partner and we were both ecstatic with what we found. Great service, delicious food and drinks at a super reasonable price, a delightful atmosphere and hands down our new favourite space! Will certainly be making it a regular,...

A place with a positive vibes. Helpfull and friendly service. Delicious ice coffee saved me on a hot day. I highly recommend :)

Let me tell you, they know how to make a good cup of latte. Fantastic lunch experience. Lovely staff, great service. Highly recommended! Nice break from noise of the streets.

Odwiedziłam kawiarnię podczas mojego pobytu w Exeter. Fantastyczna obsługa, świetna kawa i pyszne naleśniki na lunch. Szczerze polecam!
