Incredible brunch food

I've been to this place many times and it never misses! There's a seasonal menu with incredible waffles and lots of other brunch options. A great place for vegans and non vegans alike. Also a great variety of drinks, with really good coffee, chai lattes, and hot chocolate. Cannot recommend more!

I could order almost anything!

They told me they could make almost anything on the menu gluten free, so I had lots of options! I ended up ordering the Benedict, which they put on their gluten free waffle vs toast. I enjoyed it and would love to try the Tuscan beans as well next time! I got a gluten free chocolate brownie as well!

Pros: Vegan poached eggs!, Gluten free options

Great honest food!

Great place inside, fab vibe!
Very friendly staff, relatively quick freshly prepared food! I’ve enjoyed carrot soup with aubergine ‚bacon‘, my family had Royale poached eggs, avocado sandwich & waffles! 5 stars! Delicious!
Then we had lattes- beetroot & matcha are my favourite 🤩 Worth going while in Exeter! Will be back 👍

Pros: Great location , Prepared food ( no junk ), Quickly prepared

Cons: Slightly pricey

Vegan food always welcome

The cafe was in a great location. Clean and uncluttered.
Service was a bit slow & brownie stodgy.

Lovely Healthy Food

I love this place! They have tofu "eggs" and delicious coffee, sourdough toast and cakes. I would say the brunch food is why I go more than the cakes, but these are still delicious!! Highly recommended!

Great food but a bit expensive

The "poached egg" royale made from tofu was amazing. Didn't have high hopes but it blew us away. The korean burger was also very tasty. Carrot cake and babka were also amazing.

Pros: Everything tasted wonderful

Cons: A bit expensive

Imaginative Creative awesome

I have been coming to this fabulous daytime restaurant since it opened. Ethical, creative relaxed daytime dining. If you want to eat vegan and be totally smug that you just ate such creative food then this is the place for you. They even make poached eggs!!!!

Pros: Fabulous food, Large menu, Creative food

Cons: That they aren’t open every night

Great coffee and vegan egg benedict! Perfect for breakfast

If your ho(s)tel in Exeter has only very limited options for breakfast, Sacred Grounds is there for you. Amazing breakfast options, all 100% plant-based.

Sacred Grounds

Visiting Exeter I could not miss this place out and not try the vegan poached egg! It’s not everyday you see that on the menu, so I went with the Sacred Benedict and it was delicious. The vegan poached egg reminded me of how I remembered it tasting before I went vegan and the texture was spot on. The coffee was really good quality too. This place does get busy and there was no space to sit inside. It is in a pretty covered arcade though that has tables and chairs to sit at, but it does get very chilly in winter. Book a table or bring a decent coat! Venue is dog friendly. Staff were lovely and welcoming. 100% will return some day.

Vegan heaven in Exeter

Highly recommended for freshly prepared, inventive, vegan brunches and lunches. The vegan 'eggs' are amazing. Friendly staff, great food, they cater excellently for gluten free diets too. Gluten free savoury waffles are legendary. Love this place.

One for the list

Not masses to choose from but nice, well presented & aesthetically pleasing dishes that even satisfied my non vegan parents. A spot that any vegan should check out!

Awesome

El personal es súper amable… está ubicado como en un centro comercial con tiendas muy cuquis. La comida está riquísima. He ido dos veces en mi estancia en Exeter y aunque la tostada Benedict está riquísima, me encantó la sopa también!

Perfect breakfast

The breakfast here is perfect, filling but not heavy and greasy which made me feel good. The attention to detail was great and everything was flavoured really well. I enjoyed the vegan poached egg. The cafe is also really cute looking with lots of house plants😄

Pros: Tastes great, Cute looking cafe, Staff were lovely

Meticulous attention to serving delicious and attractive vegan food.

The venue was very pleasant with spacious tables outside the main restaurant. Everything we tried was excellent including the vegan egg benedict, the savoury waffles, chai latte and "cheery cherry" smoothie.
The couple who run the restaurant were welcoming and clearly very committed to providing an outstanding and deeply ethical service. I particularly enjoyed their description of the time that went in to creating the vegan egg benedict.
The price was perfectly reasonable for an excellent and enjoyable meal with generous portions.

Best vegan café ever

The waffles here are amazing, the alternative latte drinks are the best I have had (especially the beetroot and orange!). It’s a place you can come back to all the time, and the food makes you feel good.

Pros: Every single option is delicious, Non gluten options, Lovely staff

Good atmosphere, beautiful presentation, ok flavours

I had the eggs benedict and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. The atmosphere in there was great and I got a decent amount of admin work done while there but I found the benedict to be lacking in flavour, though I seem to be the odd one out.
