Gulliver's Fine Coffee Cakes - Exeter

My hubbie and I came across this place today. The unfortunate thing is that this is venue is out of the way so alot of people do not know it exists. I had a piece of Coffee and Walnut Cake and it was a very large portion which was nice, what also was nice abou tthe cake that it did not have large pieces of walnut it had been crushed and had been put in the sponge. I also had a Mocha, you could taste and chocolate and the coffee beans and hubbie had an Americano which he enjoyed. They were very generous with the milk which was good as most Cafes don't always give you enough milk. I would definately recommend this place. The two members of staff were very polite.

We popped in for the first time as it always looks so welcoming from the outside. We went in and it was dead, not a single person in there and considering it was lunch time..... not great. We are a family of 4, so we went in and looked at the food menu, which was extremely lacking to say the least. We asked for jacket potatoes but they didn’t have any. My partner is gluten free, so we asked for a toastie on gluten free bread as advertised on menu, again they didn’t have any. We then asked for toasties for the kids and they over charged us which we had to query. We did get our money back. When the food arrived, we asked for ketchup and they said they didn’t have any. Which kind of cafe doesn’t have ketchup???? Right epic to get to the loo too which is situated outside. Not great with two young kids. On the one plus side, the coffee was nice but overall experience was disappointing and over priced. Will not be returning.

Whenever I 'm in Exeter (sadly not often enough! I go to Gulliver 's for a coffee, and sometimes a cake. I try, whenever possible, to support local independent cafes if their products are good and the staff are friendly, and Gulliver 's ticks both boxes. Having tried the big High Street coffee shops, Gulliver 's wins hands down every time for a far superior product which is usually cheaper. The coffee is made to your liking (or there is a choice of teas in a generous pot and all the cakes, I believe, are baked by Gulliver himself. The quality of the cakes is superb, with a 'homemade ' taste but also with a professional finish. There is usually a good selection of cakes/brownies to choose from (Carrot, Lemon Drizzle, Chocolate Fudge and a couple of new vegan options which are just as delicious if not better, than the usual ones! If a tempting tea/coffee and cake is your thing, then give Gulliver 's a try and you will not be disappointed!

We know coffee in Exeter and have hesitated to check out the reputation at Gullivers; could it be that good? Wow!! very personal service (nice to meet you G) fantastic generous coffee and superlative cakes. We don't like the seating (too squashy for old fogies) but a minor nag, we will be back!!

Followed the street billboards and walked into this unassuming independent coffee and cake cafe. Warm welcome and a clean environment welcomed us. The coffee was excellently brewed, the homemade cake (Lemon drizzle) was absolutely superb Give the coffee chains a miss and try this place, just behind he Guildhall shopping centre.
