Jimmy's Coffee in Exeter

Coffee delicious and made exactly to my specifications and a gorgeous bacon bap at a good price, no wonder it’s so popular.

I stumbled upon this cafe when other coffee shops were closed, and I was blown away by the taste of their coffee! I instantly fell in love with it, and the food is fantastic too—especially their salads. Now, I find myself visiting this cafe every other day. I highly recommend you stop by and try their food, also they are very friendly!

Lovely cosy café! Definitely the best coffee this side of the river! Jess and Jimmy always greet you with a smile and a chat and their prices are great! Delicious food as well!

Excellent cafe. That of course means brilliant coffee and delicious food, but what sets it apart is the welcoming atmosphere and the tangible sense of care that goes into everything they produce. The sausages in the sausage bap are high quality, split in half so they get a bit crispy on the edges; the coffee beans and milk used for the flat white are top notch. I’ve only been here a handful of times but I know I’ll keep coming back.

Good value, very friendly cafe with some gluten free bread/cakes available. Nice salads, and paninis made fresh. Pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Area for children and dog-friendly. Go out of their way to help customers and be kind. Recommended!

Delicious food and wonderful service - owners are super friendly :) would highly reccomend!

Great food and service, recommend the baps!

I popped into this cafe recently with my dog and had a lovely experience. I had a sausage and egg bap that really hit the spot coupled with a hot chocolate. Honestly the hot chocolate was one of the nicest I have had in a while, not instant powder with hot water like others, or if it was, it didn't seem like it! Jimmy seems like a lovely bloke too, I didn't talk much (that was on me!) but the other customers that came in were obviously regular visitors which was lovely to see.

Super friendly, really nice cafe atmosphere and great coffee

Great place! One of the best cafes in st thomas / cowick st. Food and drink consistently good, great customer service, very helpful when the customers need any extra assistance. Just lovely people who run it!

THE best tuna melt panini and BLT you will get in Exeter!! Ive tried a few places and I'm fussy! Jess and Jimmy are super friendly. The coffee shop is such an asset to St Thomas.

A very old school welcoming place. I had a pot of tea & a bacon bap. The bacon was fried & not microwaved and was very tasty. Highly recommend 😃

A very friendly place to eat. Good prices and awesome food too. I must if you're in Exeter!!

Nice staff, tasty food and coffee, good vegetarian choice, tolerant of kids, and budget-friendly

Super friendly and great coffee ☕

I stumbled across this cafe and it’s a hidden treasure. I had the best hot chocolate ever (pay the extra 50p and you get to experience heaven). I had a sausage and hash brown bap and it was really nice! Really friendly staff and chill atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon.

Jess and Jimmy’s is the best place to lunch in Exeter!! Food is always delicious. The hot chocolate is the best i’ve ever tasted.

If I was stuck on a deserted island, the only thing I’d need is Jimmys iced coffee.

We love this cafe,Jimmy and Jess make you feel so welcome. My sister Wendy and I go regularly, When they had to close for certain reasons we was stuck where to go, as there's nothing that comes close to Jimmy and Jesies cafe.

Really nice food and vibe to the place. Jimmy runs it really well, is very friendly and he allows dogs! Great little place, highly recommend

Always great coffee and very welcoming staff.

Honestly- you won't get a better BLT and the hot chocolates and coffees are insanely good! Good, honest and fresh food at a really good price. Very friendly atmosphere as well!

Really friendly, good coffee, food is always great and after Jimmy gets to know you he knows how you like your food. Dog friendly.

Such a lovely little cafe! Excellent food! Jimmy is friendly and helpful! So pleased we found here by accident!! Beautiful coffee… and just a lovely atmosphere!

Best place to get daytime food in exeter. Super welcoming staff, the best sausage baps around and filled with pretty greenery. Also, baby and pet friendly. It's no wonder you see the same friendly faces rain or shine.

Friendly, welcoming, comfortable and tasty. These are just a few words I used as a tucked Into a soft bacon roll at Jimmy's Cafe. As we walked in we were greeted with a smile and a hello. They also walked us through the menu and any deals they have on. They are even happy to talk about the coffee they use, and what taste notes go with them. You also get a choice of regular or large coffee, which some other coffee shops don't offer. As we sat in the comfortable seating area (chairs with backs!), the coffee and food came out hot and was very tasty. Don't settle for a pretentious over-priced coffee. Go to Jimmy's Cafe for a warm welcome, tasty coffee and delicious food.

Glad that Jimmy's is open again, I've missed it during the pandemic. Perfect veggie sausage in a bap, great value for money, not pretentious, great coffee and most importantly very friendly service. Dogs are welcome, lovely plants everywhere and Jimmy is lovely, he always checks in with you, puts a lot of effort in when preparing the food.

Really lovely coffee shop with really generous and hospitable staff

Easily my favourite coffee shop in Exeter! Always a friendly face and wonderful coffee. Support your local, folks!

Love Jimmy's coffee always made fresh and hot great place with great atmosphere

Love this place, the atmosphere is fantastic, the staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the coffee is amazing, the breakfast baps are to die for go check this place out....

Really friendly place, and managed to get some work done too. Thank you!

Lovely coffee and best millionaires shortbread we've ever had. Jimmy is a 'proper' barista: great food with no frills!

Jimmy has been making great coffee for over 20years even before it was “fashun”. If you want to taste fabulous coffee without the pretentious faffing around then look no further. This is a honest approach to coffee, cakes and lunch. Their cakes are gorgeous - millionaire shortbread and rocky road to die for. They caters for vegans not because it’s trendy but because it offers people choice. This café is part of our ‘village’. Thank you both for keeping us sane during lockdown.

Get staff good value and they can do vegan food ad well.

Jimmy's coffee shop is a lovely place for drinks and food.Jimmy and Jess are lovely people.I go there with my sister Wendy regularly love it there.xx

Brilliant service Even pulled the canopy out when it started to rain

Fresh delicious food. The best coffee I've had yet

A good menu selection and all reasonably priced. Jimmy is always really friendly. Orders can be made in person, via Facebook or by Google Maps. I can highly recommend the veggie bacon bap with a hash brown, the tiffins, and the millionaire shortbread. Feels great to support a local business as well.

Often come in here with my Husband Cheap as chips no nonsense cafe Place to unwind after a hard mornings work at The Guildhall Best mug of tea in St Thomas

Great service great coffee and food

Wow amazing service, I ordered the mocha coffee with real chocolate pieces and it's fantastic a real pick me up just what I needed. Really well organised. And a great atmosphere

Excellent service and very well priced.

Went in ther today for the first time as I work a few doors down. I ordered a cappuccino with extra shot and a bacon roll. I can honestly say it was the best coffee and bacon roll I've ever had. This place will definitely be my regular now. I was so shocked at the huge amount of good thick bacon was in the roll. Very delicious

Great atmosphere, really lovely food that is just right for your pocket, not over priced at all and great community vibe.

Great for a bacon bap and a decaf soya coffee x

We took shelter from storm Dennis, friendly and welcoming cafe, good coffee and best bacon and egg bap I can remember having. Highly recommended.

Lovely coffee and breakfast rolls

I love Jimmy's cafe, lush little local cafe. Very chilled and Jimmy is very friendly. I had such a nice coffee from them too.

Siempre disfrute del café de Jimmy, pequeño, amigable y en el corazón de la comunidad de Thomas Street en Exeter. Buenas sopas caseras, pasteles, tocino, y generalmente alguien allí que conozco. Es bueno visitarlo solo, con amigos o reuniones de negocios. Jimmy colecciona bolsas para gatos y usa bolígrafos con punta de fieltro para reciclar y un proyecto de caridad, y el café también sirve como lugar para un club de ansiedad y depresión a veces. ¡Oh, buenos capuchinos también! ?

As a member of a monthly coffee morning organised by the local branch of the Coop Funeral Service for the bereaved relatives I attended the local Church Hall in Cowick Street, Exeter last week only to find that access was unavailable due to the community hall having the floor serviced. The CFS staff very quickly took me and other attendees a short way over to Jimmy's Coffee shop where we were made most welcome and took over about half of the cafe. Excellent range of coffees, etc to choose from and enjoyed the morning thanks to the proprietor (don't know if it was Jimmy) and the staff of CFS. Well done.👍

Jimmy's is definitely one of my go-to cafes! It's simple and slightly mismatch appearance is very endearing, and everyone is welcome. Lots of lovely plants, and quirky artwork around the place. There is a small selection of toys and books for children to play with in between some sofas, which my son always appreciates. Jimmy and the other two ladies that help out are really friendly. The cake slices are very delicious, and it has a great range of coffees/frappes and other drinks. Reasonable prices too. There is hot food available, and sandwiches- kids portions available. I love the vege-sausage burger myself. Sometimes there is homemade soup available too! There's also free WiFi available, and dogs are welcome. Only downside is that sometimes it has unpredictable opening/closing times, but if you're local, that's not a problem really! - Amber & Lucian :)

I've only just found this place and it's child friendly!!! I haven't stopped and eaten yet but I will!!

Friendly, relaxed service with good food and delicious coffee.

Friendly, amazing bacon butty. Good price.

Three stars is generous after hobbling out of there stinking of grease because of the cheap chairs and lack of extractor fan.

Friendly service and tasty food and drinks. Soup was particularly tasty and lovely on a cold windy day. Welcoming to dogs and kids which made for a nice family lunch.

As well as the great food and drink it is the relaxed and friendly atmosphere that makes Jimmy's so special. My wife feels very comfortable having lunch there on her own.

Best coffe I've had recently...

Good selection of drinks & snacks. Staff can be quite entertaining!! Very friendly. Nice atmosphere. Would recommend a visit.

Amazing coffee made by the lovely Jimmy 👌

Friendly service drinks nice and hot will visit again when in the area 😀

My mum and I visited Jimmy’s this morning, very friendly atmosphere. My mum had a bacon sandwich, lots of good quality bacon, I had a falafel, hummus and spinach panini which was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be going again 😊

Proper coffee, great bacon & egg sarnie, home made soups, paninis etc., friendly local café with excellent service, highly recommended!!

Lovely bacon rolls and very friendly service. Not expensive either.😆

Lovely, comfy, relaxing and welcoming cafe. Latte was very nice. Staff friendly and kind. I wish you every success.

Excelĺent friendly service and good selection of coffee, tea and food - particularly love the Chai Latte and Sausage Bap and I can recommend the crispy bacon roll!. Great place to chill; has toilet facilities and also has Wi-Fi. Outdoor seating when weather allows, comfy chairs and sofa by the window, more conventional cafe tables and chairs inside. Child friendly.

So warm and friendly. A really great community cafe.. Best coffee around.

Friendly café with great coffee and breakfast rolls, including gluten-free options

This is a great little cafe that keeps it simple and does it well. Excellent coffee, friendly service. Everyone is welcome including small children and dogs too. Free WiFi great for meetings or solo working. Comfortable seating and quirky artwork. Any coffee and a bacon bap is a very good deal for a fiver. Yum!

Very welcoming... Lovely coffee

Great coffee. Perfect for meeting friends, working alone or taking small children. Also dog friendly. Quirky upcycled decor

Just had a delicious veggie sausage and hash brown bap. Perfect for vegans. Staff at Jimmys are really attentive and service is quick, even when they’re busy. Good coffee is hard to find but Jimmy’s has got it!
