One of the best little collection of independent shops in Exeter. The purveyors of fine organic teas is exquisite and The Real McCoy is as stunning as it was when I first started to shop there many years ago. Guitar shop has a fine selection of secondhand top end guitars both classical and electric and really helpful enthusiastic staff.

Lovely arcade with interesting shops. We were there to visit Life guitar's, to get my guitar repaired. Had a nice lunch in the cafe there. A great bookshop and a fascinating clothes shop. There were other businesses there.

Some eclectic shops here, so not for everyone, but it is undercover and there is a cafe so it's a nice quiet space for a drink. We didn't go in any of the shops as some were closed at the time of our visit .. and I don't play guitar or need a typewriter looked at! But McCoys is a great place to source retro clothing.

This used to be the go to place for vintage, however I was saddened to find their entire upstairs is now closed. Now there is a much reduced stock, and no bric a brac or furniture.

Love this little arcade, with its retro clothes shop and lovely vegan cafe who make amazing coffee, and I found a hifi repair man who was fab to chat too and certainly knew his onions, Masons guitars was interesting and the staff knowledgeable was interesting to chat about different styles of famous musicians. There's also a nice looking beer shop selling artisan beer

Not as good as it used to be. McCoy's seems to be about half the size it used to be. Stock levels ditto.

With creative local features, you can find old classic CD collections, LEGOs, Marvel toys and electric shops. Not easy to find nor be forgotten.

A cozy little hub of fore Street. All sorts of independently owned businesses to delight in. The legendary The Real McCoy vintage shop on 2 stories, Manson's guitar shop, a craft beer shop, Camper Coffee co. There also a hair salon, a jewelry shop, retro games shop (and I'm sorry if I've missed any) I love visiting the arcade.

Sadly it was quite underwhelming. The staff was lovely but the food was very sad and quite expensive for what we got. The pistachio croissant was a big let down too. Edit (in response to the cafe’s reply): Thank you for taking the time to respond. I acknowledge that my original review may have been brief, so I’m happy to provide further detail. I do believe my experience was underwhelming. My dad ordered the poached eggs and bacon on sourdough and when he received the food, it was a big slide of sourdough with two rashers of bacon and two poaches eggs falling to the side. The presentation was quite poor, the bacon was on the drier side and the meal was overall a little tasteless. I can appreciate that he got the exact order - poached eggs with bacon on sourdough - but having eaten that making other times, today’s meal was just underwhelming in comparison. I had the eggs royale, they weren’t bad but again, it was underwhelming. I found the hollandaise sauce to be quite industrial tasting. My mother had the eggs Florentine and she shared the same opinion. None of us said the food was bad. Rather, we found the food to be lacking in some regards, especially considering the prices charged for such. I live in London and was visiting for the weekend; for similar prices, I would expect a higher standard. The pistachio croissant was particularly disappointing for me. The pastry was stale and the creme did not taste of pistachio. Again, given the £4 price tag, I expected better. I did not indeed ask the staff to remake anything and perhaps you are correct in suggesting I should have. Of course, no place can please everyone, and I accept that this may not reflect the typical experience at your café. Still, I wanted to share my honest experience. That said, I do want to emphasise that the staff were absolutely lovely and contributed positively to our visit.

A 'hidden gem' for tasty food, great value for money, friendly service and the BEST Flat white coffee in town! After your first visit...you will definitely want to visit Drakes again and again.
