Awesome sandwich at a decent price

I got a sandwich with chicken, bacon, tomato, mayo and mustard and it was delicious £5.45 even after I carried it around for an hour making my way to the coach station.

Amazing!

Staff were SO friendly and welcoming. I had a salad box with falafel and it was delicious, also got a bag of vegan pick and mix. So many vegan cheeses on offer! Only thing I’d love to improve it is a sandwich option without fake meat for those of us who can’t stand the texture of it, their sandwiches look amazing but I can’t stomach fake meat. Salad box was delicious though and I’d definitely visit again for that!

Lovely local vegan deli

Really brilliant and friendly vegan deli. There’s lots of lunch options, sandwiches, panini’s and salads. You can also buy their vegan cheeses and meats by weight, and lots of other awesome food bits. There isn’t much seating it’s but it’s very close to the cathedral where there’s lots of benches to sit!

The best southern fried "chicken"

We grabbed a sandwich and some other bits from here on a visit to Exeter. We got a box if Southern fried chicken bits which was absolutely delicious. There was a really nice atmosphere and it was lovely to hear a little bit about the history of the place and how thoughtfully decisions on what to stock were made.

Pros: Great selection, Thoughtfully stocked products

Fantastic unique place with great house-made seitans run by a lovely family

Everything we bought was delicious, it was great to see so many kinds of seitan in a deli counter-like setting. Great to be able to buy the amount we wanted in minimal packaging.. I loved the fried chicken, the dinosaurs (much better than the flavorless Quorn ones!), sliced meats, cheeses.. Sandwiches were delicious and great for a picnic. The idea of a vegan deli is so great. The only place I've been that's remotely similar to this is the Riverdel cheese shop in New York, which I also love.

Plus the family running it is very kind and friendly. We were just traveling through Exeter, but hope to be back!

Great food

Came here after seeing them on Instagram. Amazing selection of delicious cheeses at decent prices! It’s nice to be able to buy cheese and meats without being forced to buy a set amount as you buy it by weight.
I had a Reuben which was really good. I brought my family who had a salad box and another sandwich and they also loved their food.
The people working there are so friendly and happy to explain things. Would highly recommend visiting.

All vegan deli - big range of cheese and meats

Lovely and friendly owner - a phenomenal range of home made mock meats and locally made vegan cheeses available separately or in their deli sandwiches. The salted chocolate cookie was a great treat! I wish I was staying longer to try the fried chckn which looked unbelievably good!

How On Earth Deli is the best!

Vegan or Not, Best Deli in Exeter

The sweetest deli in a perfect location in Exeter. Really close to the hughstreet and can take your sandwich to Cathedral Green or the Quay for an ideal picnic spot. The staff - who are all family - are so lovely and always up for a chat. 'The Reuben' is a personal favourite but all of the sandwiches are delicious. Fills a gap in my diet that no other meat-substitute has before! Prices are fair for really quality food. Honestly the most enticing part of coming back to university. It's a constant topic of conversation in our house. GO GO GO!

Pros: Excellent Food, Very cute aesthetic , Friendly Staff

Pastrami on rye Spectacular

A deli style takeaway with some stools of you fancy eating there.
Immense taste and texture not only of insides but the bread itself.
Also had the nuggets. Delicious.

Pros: All vegan. A delight

Cons: Didn't see hot drinks on the menu., Perhaps i was just too excited by the food 😄
