Tucked away within the charming Antique Centre on The Quay, the Riverside Cafe Menu at 2 The Quay, Exeter EX2 4AP, offers more than just a riverside setting - it delivers a memorable culinary experience that blends local flavor with cozy hospitality.
This quaint spot is a gem for those seeking a relaxing brunch, a light lunch, or a sweet afternoon treat by the River Exe. The menu focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and this commitment shines through in every bite. The full English breakfast is generous and hearty, with quality bacon, eggs done to perfection, and well-seasoned sausages. For lighter fare, the avocado toast with poached egg and chili flakes is both vibrant and satisfying - a nod to modern café trends without losing its rustic charm.
One of the true highlights is their selection of homemade cakes and bakes, which rotate regularly. The lemon drizzle, for example, is moist, zesty, and well-balanced, avoiding the overly sweet trap many cafes fall into. Their barista coffee holds up just as well, with creamy lattes and robust Americanos served promptly, even during peak hours.
Compared to other nearby cafes in Exeter’s historic district, Riverside Cafe stands out with its picturesque setting and unfussy, well-executed menu. The service is warm and genuinely welcoming, which adds to the overall inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local looking for a regular riverside haunt or a visitor exploring the quay, this cafe strikes a perfect balance between quality, location, and value.
The Riverside Cafe Menu may not be extensive, but it covers the essentials with finesse - making it a strong contender for one of the most charming spots to eat in Exeter.
