Recently been searching out community cafe's on my travels. Menus tend to be a bit more original and food freshly cooked from local ingredients at a fair price. Mulberry Tree served up a lovely Sour Dough toastie plus salad washed down with a mug of tea. Friendly staff. Nice clean, comfortable surroundings.

A little gem in Exeter. Independent cafe serving light meals, great coffee and delicious cakes. Got a really nice sun garden to sit out in and escape the city noise. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Go check it out!

This is a lovely little cafe set within a community centre. The staff are wonderful and care so much about the little place. While off the beaten track, it is certainly worth popping in for a coffee and a slice of fresh, homemade cake at a very reasonable price.

Very friendly with such a nice atmosphere the inside is cosy with an amazing view outside and with extra seating outside. The hot chocolate was one of the best we have had locally. It also has amazing artwork on display. But for me the friendly faces when u walked in was the best part.
