The Press House in Exeter

Nice, cosy cafe with speciality product. We haven’t tried anything else than coffee, but can definitely reconned it.

This coffee shop has been my favourite find this year! The coffee is exceptional, the staff are so friendly and there is always a great selection of cakes. I finally tried the brunch menu on my birthday and will forever regret not having tried it sooner. Would recommend the mushroom and creamy tarragon toast - uses fresh bloomer bread and tasted fabulous, and any of the pancakes for a sweeter tooth. The pancakes were so fluffy and easily the best pancakes I’ve had.

Lovely place we found for delicious coffee. Staff were so welcoming and will certainly be back to try their food.

Great coffee small menu but outstanding food

Food was great, service was amazing. Tried to go about an hour after opening, but they were full and no seats were available, so decided to come back later. Ended up going back around 15mins before they stopped serving food, which meant they were running out of a lot of things, which is understandable. One of the dishes was sold out(which they notified us before we sat down), by the time we decided what we wanted, one of the dished we picked was also sold out. We didn't have to wait too long for our food, which looked amazing and tasted really good. We asked for a bit more of the pistachio crumb on one of our dishes, unfortunately they had used the last of it, but they were kind enough to refund our drink (tangerine iced tea, which was delicious) because of this and the other dishes being unavailable. We really weren't expecting this, and they really didn't have to since we knew we got there quite late, but it was much appreciated.

The Press House is a must visit, the pancakes are incredible!! Lovely staff and great choice of drinks, it's always worth the trip into Exeter.

Delicious food, amazing coffee and the loveliest staff! A little gem in Exeter

Absolute treat of a place for brunch at the weekends and an excellent selection of tea & cake in the week 💛 the whole team are always so welcoming, always look forward to a Press House trip 😊

I have been wanting go here for so long and I had tried once before and it was full. And I now know why. It's just amazing, the staff, food and atmosphere is just fantastic. Can't wait to go back very soon

One of my most favourite coffee shops in town✨☕️ Drinks are always at the highest level, and staff is super friendly, especially Georgia❤️

Hands down best coffee place in Exeter, this is coming from a chronic caffeine consumer. Oh the French toast is also to die for.

One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Really lovely place.

Best pancakes ever! Lovely people who really care about their customers, and such a relaxing atmosphere

The carrot cake was to die forrrr! And when I found out it was vegan afterwards I was gobsmacked, it was simply divine. Cosy space, friendly staff, great selection of cakes. Cooked breakfasts only at the weekends

Had the pancetta pancakes & avocado lime toast with pickled egg. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. Could tell it was all fresh to order-fresh cut strawberries with pancake (as an extra) were great. Latte was one of the best I’ve ever had! Servers were polite and chatty. Will definitely return to support a local cafe.

Amazing coffee and friendly staff.

Lovely coffee and very friendly staff

Highly recommend the toasts and coffees!

Excellent service, staff are friendly, polite and helpful, thank you 👍

This is my favourite cafe in Exeter, great atmosphere and lovely staff, food is freshly made and they have super tasty options if you're vegan /GF. Sometimes you have to wait for a table, but they manage the queue well, and so you can relax / have a drink whist waiting and the staff let's you know when it's your turn for a table, and it's always worth the wiat.

Strange knowing that all those years of hanging about in a skate shop that I would be sat there having one of the best coffees I've ever tasted. 100% recommend. A lot of love has gone in to making this place nice.

Nice and cosy cafe but quite pricey a small mug of hot chocolate snd carrot cake costed me over £6! It has no selection of snacks etc for small children...

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere, the oat milk though was very untasty and destroyed the taste of the coffee so I had to throw it away. Won't be back because of that, until of course they change oat milk.

The most amazing vegan pancakes you can have, lots of non vegan/veggie options that all look incredible, lovely staff and the most beautiful decor and vibes 🌿

Hidden gem, the food here is delicious for lunch. Coffee is OK but I'd come here for food first.

Had an exceptional coffee here, and led me to read their food menu. So pleased I was convinced. Had the butternut squash with cream cheese and homemade pesto, I usually go for a non vegetarian meal but this was amazing. My friend chose the mushrooms and was really impressed too. Friendly staff who made us feel very welcome, with exceptionally quick service. Will definitely visit again, just to try the pancakes that looked equally amazing.

Lovely staff, great food, great coffee!

Popped in for an ice tea on a very hot day ! Really nice cosy place, ice tea was lovely and in a generous size take away cup 🥤

The press house is my little hidden gem in Exeter. It is a disgrace to visit or live in Exeter without having had the brunch and coffee here. I've been coming every other weekend for an entire year, enjoying their Sunday brunch - and I have not been let down once! Food is arguably the best breakfast I've had in Exe, varied and creative vegan and non vegan dishes. Coffee is always perfectly brewed. Food is excellent value for money, about £12 for a fantastic meal at brunch time. Despite the food being flawless, the service somehow manages to top it. The owner is extremely friendly and polite - the daydream of every small coffee shop goer. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, I've found myself spending 3 or 4 hours here having originally come for a "quick" breakfast. I cannot recommend Press House enough, the highlight of Exeter.

Had the most delicious breakfast of mushrooms, crème fraiche and poached eggs on toast. Lovely service and ambiance, highly recommend this place. 👍🏻

I love this place. The food, sweet or savory, is amazing. The coffee & hot drinks are great and the cold drinks are also spot on (especially the peach ice tea 🤤). It has a really great team. It is small and sometimes you have to wait a little for a table but it is rare we can never get one. It is harder for larger groups as there are only a couple of tables big enough. It is always worth the wait. A proper independent place. I recommend it, but not so much I can then never get a spot 😆!

Amazing pancakes and great coffee!

This is my absolute favourite spot for coffee and chats in Exeter. The couple who owns it are so kind, so accommodating, and so helpful. The espresso is lovely, as are the many options for non-dairy food. I enjoy coming here with friends, either meeting up with our babies or just for a hangout with a cosy and cute vibe plus gorgeous stationary!

I’ve not long moved to Exeter and I’d yet to find a really great coffee. This place did not disappoint, the best oat flat white I’ve had in the city, really smooth coffee and perfectly texturised milk. Great selection of vegan cakes too, I had the lemon drizzle, super moist and scrummy! I’ll be returning, thank you!

A place full of character, cozy, great coffee & delicious food! I🙌🏻🔥

My favourite café in the South West. The best, most consistent flat whites and incredible vegan brunch, that my meat-eating friends have also been blown away by. The vegan feta and pesto is my favourite. The staff are so genuine and always remember people - always feels like going down to the local friendly morning-pub. It has a relaxed interior with a sun-drenched front and cosy back section. Can be really busy between 10:30 and 11am while students are in town, but there's Crankhouse and Sacred Grounds a short walk away if it's full.

Great, welcoming and helpful service, above and beyond! Relaxed atmosphere ,comfy seeting

Avocado toast was amazing, pancakes were insane. Delicious coffee!!! 5 stars!!!

Amazing little coffee house with a great selection of coffee and treats. Extensive options for veggie and vegans, small seating areas so don't expect to be able to sit inside. Definitely support this place it's brilliant

Lovely little cafe, very nicely decorated and set out with lots of seating. Unfortunately changed coffee beans since my previous visits and we both agreed that its a shame as it used to be fantastic coffee, now its just regular coffee, no different from high street coffee. We were very disapointed, the coffee was ok, staff still great but the magic was gone. We left and started the search again for a great coffee in Exeter.

I had been wanting to try this cafe for a while. Did not disappoint- the chocolate peanut cake was the stuff of dreams 😻 coffee was amazing and the vibes are great. Will be returning again soon.

A lovely little, cosy spot run by delightful people serving delicious pancakes... what more do you want?

Lovely coffee, and friendly service, as well as delicious fresh cakes. Front room has wonderful natural light through the huge windows. And some cozy seating round the back too.

One of the best brunch spots in Exeter, food is insane!! Plenty of vegan options. Couldn’t recommend enough!

welcoming staff. cozy. yummy drinks and vegan pastry. clean. love the dim lighting.

Worth a visit if in Exeter. Better than the usual chain offering. Even have a printing press.

Lovely little cafe in the centre of Exeter, serving good coffee and a nice range of cakes, including vegan options. Note that they only serve brunch Fri, Sat, Sun though.

Come here almost every weekend for brunch, staff are so friendly, atmosphere is perfect for a chilled coffee and food. Then we have the coffee, well made and beautifully presented! The brunch… you just have to try it for yourself but I promise there isn’t a better option in Exeter!!

Lovely little place with awesome coffee and cool vibes, plus's the owners are lovely and very helpful when choosing :)

What a lovely spot! The staff were helpful and so friendly and the drinks and food are delicious. I’ll be coming back here a lot.

Cute interior, friendly staff, really good iced tea. Location's also easy to get to.

Staff are always extremely friendly and welcoming. Coffee is expertly made and the food is Incredible. best breakfast/coffee in Exeter. Love coming her and will continue to do so. Highly recommended 5*

Nice idea. Lovely relics from another life. But lacking in ambience for a good coffee joint.

This is a gem... lovely staff, great coffee, delicious food and some quirky cards and niknaks. Relaxed vibe. Just had a stack of fluffy pancakes heaped with rhubarb, custard and something lemony, with a flat white of richness and depth. Little touches, like being brought a glass of water with my coffee shows a European understanding of coffee drinking which is hugely appreciated. Bravo!

My kind of place. Very relaxed atmosphere, nice music playing, super friendly staff, and above all great coffee. Lactose and gluten free options available.

Great quality food and lovely staff. Little cold though.

Excellent coffee. I look forward to it each time I go for a walk.

Excellent thanks it was extremely busy, good coffee, great cakes friendly service.

Awesome! Vegan hot choc and Vegan Mac n Cheese were both winners! Thank you

Excellent coffee, lovely people. And don’t forget to check out the letterpress. We didn’t try the brunch this time but having read the reviews would love to come back and try it next time. Sunny location on the corner meant that we could enjoy the some late October sunshine sitting outside.

The Press House is a lovely tranquil little independent coffee shop just a 5min walk out of the main shopping area in Exeter. It's hosts Dan & Melissa give a warm welcome & serve excellent coffee & delicious brunches. A simple menu but what they do is fantastic. You won't be disappointed. Definitely worth giving them a try.

Lovely place for coffee. Looking forward to trying out their breakfast next time. Menu looks epic

Great and unique coffee flavours (the matcha coffee is brilliant) and plenty of vegan options. A much better experience than your average Starbucks/Costa etc!

Highly recommended. Delicious coffee, great little shop with the sun shining through the greenery. Pancakes are great, fresh flavours. Peach ice tea really tastes of peach. Lots of nice little print pieces.

Wow the nicest coffee & strawberry mint lemonade was to die for Highly recommended this little coffee shop. Thank you I will definitely be using you again

Definitely the best brunch spot in Exeter!!! Delicious pancakes, cakes and super friendly owners. Great place for a dog walk pit stop, puppaccino for my dog and (caffeine-free) latte for me!

Definitely the best brunch in Exeter and the hosts aren't so bad either. The pancakes are to die for. Expect a super friendly warm welcome, and some really, really tasty chocolate cookies. I have to stop myself buying their vegan cinnamon buns too often but they are TOO GOOD. Light and fluffy and super tasty. Would always recommend these guys and I always take friends for breakfast who are visiting. Dan and Melissa are super accommodating and I wish I had a dog so I could give it their famous puppacino.

Me and my friend are no strangers to brunch and love trying new places. I'd been for coffee before but not a sit down meal. It's quite small but not overly busy, and we had the pancake stacks with some of the speciality lattes. We're not vegan but I like trying vegan alternatives incase I ever want to make the switch. They looked good, tasted amazing, and was great value for money! Would definitely reccomend. I think it's my favourite brunch spot in Exeter!

Delicious coffee and cakes (and our dog is a big fan of their complementary puppycinos!) - thank you for the fantastic service :)

The people who run this place are so lovely and the coffee and treats are awesome. What more could you want?

Best brunch food and coffee in town. Best service and vibe. Definitely 5/5.

Loved the coffee here, but more importantly the staff were just the friendliest! We were treated to a puppaccino for our poochy 🐕☕️ Love the decor, they’ve got a great sense of style! Definitely one of my faves now 🙌🏼

Seriously delicious coffee, cool place, nice people!

Such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere here with an excellent range of coffee and cakes.

Good coffee, good chat. All I need is to sit in then i'll get the good atmosphere too :)

Fantastic new cafe with excellent coffee and really friendly staff. A lovely addition to Fore Street.

A lovely, cosy, coffee house with some of the best coffee I've tasted in a long time!

Great coffee and friendly staff

Such a beautiful new cafe! Decorated Amazingly and serving coffee and cakes to die for! My favourite cake on offer is the peanut and banana bread, soooo yummy! Letterpressed cards and other handmade goods are for sale too! Defo check it out.

Been in several times since they opened – absolutely amazing coffee in a really lovely cafe. It felt really COVID safe in there. They have loads of varieties of tea, and good vegan options (you’ve got to try the peanut butter and banana cake!)
