O was looking for a breakfast spot (not the typical British breakfast, since I think it?s no secret that British food isn?t exactly known for being delicious?). I came across this restaurant where they were still serving breakfast, and even though I arrived about ten minutes before breakfast service ended, the waitress kindly gave me the breakfast menu without hesitation.
I ordered the salmon avocado toast, which was absolutely delicious?I loved it. The service was fast, friendly, and very professional. The place has a great vibe, and there?s also a nice outdoor seating area if you prefer to sit outside.
Highly recommended if you?re looking for something other than the classic British breakfast. ?

A 'hidden gem' for tasty food, great value for money, friendly service and the BEST Flat white coffee in town!
After your first visit...you will definitely want to visit Drakes again and again.

We visited Drakes on a glum and rainy day. The service we received and the food we had certainly brightened up not only my day, but four members of my family who were with me too.
The staff here are super friendly, the food was amazing, and the location is perfect.
Very reasonable pricing for the quality of food that was served.

Whenever I visit Exeter, I think of Drakes Cafe first; their food is exceptional, offering a delightful taste of freshness. ??????

I've not been in since pre-Covid and was really pleased by what I found.
Been tastefully decorated, food was always good but its refreshing to see things have been built on and the breakfast was pretty faultless.
Some friendly faces still there and have only improved with time (though admittedly there never used to be anything to complain about).
Gone from strength to strength. Thank you so much for showing how it should be done. Great example of understated excellence
