Mythical. Spotless AND the best of the best.

Alma is the cafe that seems to have it all—great coffee, delicious cakes, and a vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. It’s no wonder Simon called it the best coffee shop in Exeter. With treats like carrot cake and banana bread that make you feel like you’re being spoiled by your grandma, it's hard not to love this place.
The space is cozy and welcoming, with staff who genuinely seem to care about your experience. If you’re looking for a quiet spot to unwind or catch up with friends over a flat white, Alma ticks all the boxes. It’s busy for a reason, and that’s probably because they know how to brew a great cup of coffee and serve up some seriously good cakes.
"Definitely the best coffee shop I've found in Exeter."
"Amazing coffee, wonderful sweet treats."
"No debate, this is the best place for coffee in Exeter."
