In a recent article by Razz Magazine, the University of Exeter’s Arts, Culture and Lifestyle mag, Devon Coffee was crowned the favourite coffee shop in Exeter and so, obviously, I had to go and see what all the fuss was about.
On first impression the café looks very narrow, almost claustrophobic. However, once I’d ordered a coffee and taken a seat I realised I’d mistaken claustrophobia for a charming setting.

With lots of local craft stalls to browse selling a huge range of beautiful items there should be something to suit all tastes and budgets.
