Great food great location - Edit
Not a huge menu but top quality freshly made, with such lush flavours. We went the savoury waffles and the tofu on toast with a difference. Both were delicious! The best turmeric ginger latte as well.

Refreshing scandi simplicity - Edit
Sacred grounds is tucked away in a lovely peaceful arcade, which means that the outside seating area is sheltered from wind and rain, and is just a gorgeous spot. Inside has a really lovely atmosphere. They have a simple menu with some unusual finds like savoury waffles, awesome homemade soup, some cafes and awesome coffee.. what’s not to like!

Beautiful food and location - Edit
The cafe itself is gorgeous, plants everywhere and had a rustic feel to the place. When I lived in Exeter it was a favourite of mine and the ever changing menu makes it a fun place to come back to time and time again. A definite 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great atmosphere and tasty breakfast! - Edit
It was really nice to find a vegan place that offers something more than the standard breakfast, without going OTT on the health aspects.
Read moreWe only managed one visit to Sacred Grounds, and we had a stack of homemade, marinated seitan, mustard, cream cheese, caramelised onions and watercress on really good bread.
The menu (which is quite small) apparently changes regularly, which I really like!
You’ll find the venue itself at the end of an arcade with independent shops, although their tables spill out into the arcade giving them plenty of space for busy days! Well worth a visit!
Pros: Delicious breakfast, Great design, Lovely service

Decent food, not great furniture - Edit
The place was fine. the chairs were super small and sounded like they were going to break. The tables were very bad designed so there is no space for the legs. They seem like tables taken from the street. The place is a bit pricey too. Fortunately, the flavour of the food was good. Except for the soup, which was too salty. The chocolate drink was very good but too expensive.
Read moreI would add that I saw nothing made of plastic, which is very good. The napkins were made of recycled paper. However, the place was not very clean and several hairy dogs walked in.

Lovely food - Edit
this is a small cafe and was quite crowded (a good sign, particularly as it's off the beaten track) when we visited. The food was very fresh and tasty. I had the Smørbrød II - interesting flavours, really well-balanced.

Amazing brunch spot - Edit
Great location and decor, light and open with tons of plants. Food was nice, it’s better suited to breakfast/ brunch than a standard full meal. I found it a bit expensive for what it was, especially the small size of the portions, but I enjoyed visiting and will go again. A nice addition to fully vegan spots in Exeter, and a much healthier alternative to Rabbit.

Delicious and imaginative! - Edit
The staff are talented and welcoming, as is the interior which is full of plants, artwork and books. The dishes and drinks are all imaginative and flavoursome and everything is packed full of flavour! If it is brunch or a quite unwind you’re looking for, this spot should bot be missed off your list!
Read morePros: Delicious range of alternative lattes , Lovely experience in a beautifully arranged space
Cons: Small choice of sweet treats , Limited menu as the cafe is new

A hidden gem in a lovely arcade in the city. - Edit
I had the soup which, on this rainy day, was perfect. My friends had waffles, savoury and sweet but looked beautiful! Lovely staff, reasonably priced and nice surroundings.
