Uprising in Exeter

Liked the simple decor and music in this small cafe with bench tables and chairs. However not particularly friendly service.Disappointingly, cappuccino was bitter tepid and tasteless. Bland frittata would be nicer hot so advise you to take it away. Understand why they cant reheat.Total cost just under £6.00.

Love a coffee shop. Not only is the coffee and chocolate great, their Chai latte is fantastic full of flavour but not too sweet.

Always looking for someplace new to eat, we stopped in today for a late brunch and were not disappointed. We had seen the menu online before arriving so we knew what was in store for us. We indulged in seasonal greens, lamb stew and bircher and chia muesli and everything was very well presented and tasted delicious. We washed it all down with oat milk chai lattes - yum! The staff were kind and the place was clean and tidy. We'll be back!

OMG what a very hippy looking place , maybe aimed at uni lot , but still a really lovely place to eat. My first visit and will definatly return . I had the fritarta with salad both lovely . And real tea too , but no strainer so had bits in my tea but didn't take away the lovely flavour . Staff very friendly . I had banana cake for dessert but that was a little dry for my taste . Thanks for a lovely lunch .

This place is a clean and modern hipster venue, aimed at the nearby uni students and wealthy local residents. To be honest, we only visited because our usual cafe nearby was full. The cardomom buns were nice, the coffee was ok but not great. Ten pounds for two buns and two coffees seemed expensive. I'm sure it'll do well given the local population, but we probably won't rush back.

I’ve been to this cafe several times now and been thoroughly impressed every time. The food is an excellent quality and full of flavour, along with perfect coffee and friendly service. Pricing is really good for the quality of offerings.

This place really does have that hipper-than-thou vibe, which may put some people off. (Not me: uncool and unbowed!) However, the coffee and baked goods are sublime. I haven't tried the brunch dishes/other menu items (yet) but their cardamom buns are hauntingly good. Not the cheapest coffee spot but it's definitely worth it as a treat, or as motivation/self-bribery on the way to work. ;-) Service is generally good and often great.

The food was promptly, nicely made and served. The coffee was disappointing: a filter coffee (very lightly roasted I was told) very tasteless. The Uprising only serves Origin coffee from Cornwall. The main disappointment came for the barista's attitude. Maybe a bad day for him? Very detached from the entire situation. This was the case throughout my visit with other customers too, as I first thought that I said something hurtful. I bought a cinnamon bun to eat later on during my train journey which was pleasantly tasty. The place is nicely designed with great details such as spaces for coats but it needs a buzz.

Me and some friends were working in Exeter for a week and stayed around here. Had a delicious coffee and Turkish eggs here on our first day and then returned the next day and was told they’d stopped serving the breakfast menu even though it said it was served until midday and we got there at 11. Tried again the next day as we thought it must have been a one off but had the same response. It’s a shame the service didn’t match the quality of the food and coffee.

I have been a huge fan of the bakehouse well before its recent re brand , re launch and takeover by Origin coffee roasters, in reverse order. Being a vegan and enjoying a flat white I have to pay a preimium for the Barista oat milk , which makes a cup top out at £3.30 !!! yes £3.30. Is this the most expensive cup of oaty flat white in the UK ? is it worth it ? YES if you can run to it. But I limit myself to one cup, ask for it hot and then sit over it. The coffee is just one of the excellent things to look forward to here, the simple food is knockout good, mushrooms on sourdough will whet the appetite of any hungry vegan. The short order chef knows her grill and has a great smile, if that is not a politically correct observation please forgive me.

I was here in march 2018, just few weeks after the opening. The coffee is really amazing and the barista is really good in coffee and cappuccino preparation. The cakes are really good, I had the carrot cake and a pain au raisins. The place is quiet and good for breakfast or for teatime.

This is my local coffee shop and it’s absolutely ideal. I swing by for a coffee to go on my way to work, but can also bring friends for a long relaxed brunch. I’m veggie and most of my friends are vegan and there’s options for all of us. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff make this place even more special. I had the sourdough French toast special this morning and it was amazing. I recommend this place to everyone!

Lovely sweet potato soup with sour dough bread and grease carrot cake to die for, friendly staff. Highly recommend
