Delicious food and kind staff. Dog friendly. The cafe is busy and not suitable for a cosy chat with a friend, but is perfect for a quick lunch, or takeaway. Thanks for feeding me frittata for the last year!

Amazing café in the center of Exeter. There’s a variety of freshly made dishes available (including vegan and vegetarian options). The coffee’s delicious and the staff very friendly. Also you can tell that the interior is designed with love and lots of details. Highly recommend this place

هذا المكان يتغنّى بروعة وهشاشة وخفة كرواسون الصباح،،لم أجد في اكستر كرواسون يرقى لهذا المستوى برفقة فنجان القهوة والجلوس في المقاعد الخارجية بنظرات تتأمل القاصي والداني تحت اشعة الشمس الدافئة .. تكاد ان تكتمل بالنسبة لي تجربة المقهى المثالي لولا أنه غالبا لن يحالفك الحظ للأسف مع كرواسون اللوز إلا في الصباح.
