Such a hidden gem!! One of my favourite places in Exeter, they do amazing food and amazing variety of teas! They were so friendly and kind to us! I had a fabulous time and I would absolutely come back! I would recommend this to everyone!!
Nice, cozy cafe to get away from the city center while in the city center! The staff are nice and friendly, and the orders arrive super quickly! Everything tasted fresh, but the portion could be a bit small if you need a proper lunch, however, prices are reasonable.
I will definitely go back to try out their breakfast and enjoy their chill vibe!
Great food, atmosphere and table service. The portions are generous and the prices are good. One thing I am a big fan of is that you get an actual bottle of mayo/ketchup not a teeny pot or sachets - no rationing here! The cafe is comfortable and is accessible for wheelchair which is always a plus. Gluten free options available and the staff were clued up on allergies. Absolutely no complaints at all, it was a lovely experience.
What a great breakfast... just as it should be...soft poached eggs, tasty and perfectly cooked bacon, plenty of avocado and a sourdough toasted to perfection. One of the most delicious breakfasts I've had in a long time. Try it when you can...
Excellent little independent cafe right in the centre of Exeter, just off cathedral close. We had a fab veggie breakfast. Service was great, food brilliant and such a lovely atmosphere. You’ll definitely come back.
Directed here by a competitor trader who was full: a good choice. Tucked away out of view of the Cathedral Green, this might not be the easiest find, or the one with the best view, yet it's certainly well worth seeking out. For starters, they know their coffee (Origin beans) and how to make it, with appropriate strengths per cup/option/size. Amazing portions with a limited yet stunning menu options. The "mixed ploughman's" is ginormous and would satisfy any hungry farmer, whilst the sourdough with avocado,fish 2 eggs and salmon was extremely good! Friendly service with attention to detail. Limited outdoor or indoor seating. Customer toilet.
Recommended.
Lovely little cafe, all had the cooked brunch. Piping hot and delicious.
This is a great place when visiting Exeter. Good food selection (something for all food types).
Some nice local drinks & the coffee is great.
Service always friendly and cosy atmosphere.
Excellent food, freshly made. Quick service and friendly staff.
Very nice little place to eat and drink. Also with children good choice I think.
I have been going here for years. Lovely independently own cafe. Nice cooked food. Well worth a visit.
Lovely food, service good , very busy when we visited but didn't have to wait too long for food to arrive Tucked away a hidden gem .would recommend
Delicious breakfast, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere
Good reasonable priced menu
Went back the next day and had a lovely English breakfast.
Another day and this time the all day brunch and a jacket potato. Lovely!
Us likes goin Drakes cuz Shawn and Wendy and Sam, thame aw luvly. The food is always exceptional and of top quality and the coffee, well I don't know of a better tasting coffee or in how it's presented by Sam's expert barista skills. I had an uncanny likeness of Jackie 'O' on my froth yesterday. I'd never go anywhere else when visiting Exeter and can't recommend Drakes or its staff highly enough.
Couldnt have been more friendly. Tried for 1hr and a half to find food when we came across this wonderful bistro.
Generous portions at a generous price.
My partner recommends the chilli mountain.
Great service. Delicious lunch.
Nice to find a place that serves the classic but with at the same time modern lots of choice. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The cakes looked great, so will be back for sure.
Staff, all really lovely
Just popped in for tea and toast. Very friendly, they don't mind that I just want a small snack whi h is unusual in this day and age. All cooked perfectly and presented perfectly. But I am reticent to recommend them for one selfish reason. They are so good that if too many people get to know I may not be able to get a seat next time I call in. Thanks to the staff for having such friendliness and high standards you do us proud
