Costa

The usual Costa quality.
Don’t be fooled into thinking it is small as there are plenty of seats downstairs too. An excellent location for people watching as the masses gently stroll around the retail cathedral that is Exeter Princesshay.

This branch of Costa sprung up as part of the Princesshay shopping development and is situated in close proximity to the other restaurants in the centre. If you want a coffee and to grab a snack, rather than a full meal, this is a good option, although it always seems to be full during usual shopping hours. Cost is a chain, so this one is very similar to all the others — selling good coffee and the usual range of pre-​packed panini and muffin type snacks, with efficiency and not much much personality. This branch could do with being larger, considering the busy location, as there is very little indoor seating. There are however some tables outside for sunny days, which afford a view of the top of the roof of the Cathedral!
