Sofia Gallucci-Giles gives us the lowdown on Exeter’s indie food and drink locations to check out this term.
Cafe
The Breakfast Club – Rabbit Café
Exeter’s first 100 per cent plant based café serves breakfast everyday of the week from 10am to noon, after which you can order from the lunch menu, and daily specials board. This little spot is popular amongst vegans and vegetarians but suitable for all dietary requirements. Reputed for its remarkable cakes, it’s hard to resist […]
The Breakfast Club – No. 1 Polsloe
No. 1 Polsloe, the clue is in the name. Located on Polsloe Road, this quaint café provides delicious food, the best value and an aesthetic worthy of the phrase ‘do it for the gram’. A true hero of the breakfast scene. Decorated with fairy lights, giant hanging ceiling flowers and the edgiest of wallprints, this […]
Tea on the Green Review
Nestled between Ask Italian and St Martin’s Church in central Exeter, Tea on the Green is a local culinary classic. In the summer months, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea sat outside in the sunshine admiring Exeter’s impressive Cathedral or, if it’s slightly chillier, there is plenty of space inside in the cosy two-floored […]
6 cafés with a quirk
Board Exeter’s own ‘Board’ on South Street invites you to crack open a board game while you sip your latte. Whether it’s a classic game of Monopoly, student favourite Cards Against Humanity or a new indy game such as Tsuro of the Seas, you’ve got your pick of the board game bunch. It’s a good spot to wile away an afternoon […]
Pret: A Controversial Coffee Shop
We all know that the decision to allow Pret to descend onto campus was an unpopular one among many of Exeter’s students; the big businesses have been taking over and offending the delicate sensibilities of our largely left-wing campus. But Pret is here, and it’s here to stay, so it’s important that we evaluate how much […]
Student work in Exeter – what can you do?
If your money has been engulfed by a combination of January sales and Christmas festivities, and you’ve still got weeks of term left and you’re certainly not living the Exetah rich dream, why not get a job? I’ve spoken to a few Exeter students to get some job advice (I may have a leaning towards My Tutor Web […]
Review: No. 1 Polsloe Café
With the top quality food, chic décor, and lightening quick service, breakfast at No. 1 felt like a true indulgence. Add to that a value-for-money menu, and you’ve got the city’s best new dining spot. Last week, Emma and I jumped at the chance to experience food at the café given 5* by every TripAdvisor […]

After the joys of stuffing our stomachs over the holidays, many of us may be feeling a little down with the prospect of deadlines ahead. However, winter doesn’t have to be as gloomy in mind as it is in weather! Here are a few ways you can kick those winter blues: 1. Go for a winter hike […]
What’s for breakfast? Take your pick!
There is little I love more than going out for breakfast, much to the disappointment of my boyfriend who would rather sleep the morning away. Luckily for me, when I do manage to persuade him breakfast is worth waking up for, Exeter has a host of quaint, contemporary, up market or all you can eat […]
