Seven of the best coffee shops in Exeter
"Pink Moon Café can be found on Queen Street, a stone’s throw away from Exeter Central station and is one of Exeter’s newest coffee and dining spots. My visit to Pink Moon reminded me of some of the trendy London cafes such as EL&N Café and GRIND with the neon lights and pink theme, it seems to be the “in place” to snap a photo of your coffee amongst the pretty décor. There is a café / grab & go side to the café and a restaurant side for those who would like to sip and dine at a more leisurely pace."

"Did you know that the city of Exeter was home to JK Rowling during her university days, and that many of the magical places in the Harry Potter novels are thought to be inspired by the beautiful city?. Great fact, but that’s enough Harry Potter. You’re here because you want to find the best brunch spots in town that are conveniently near to your student accommodation in Exeter, right?"
