Vegan food + music venue: perfect! - Edit
Amazing selection of vegan food for such a little place. I had the vegan fish and chips and it was delicious. I also recommend the Oreo milkshake! They have a good selection of vegan sauces (mayo etc). The waitress was lovely and the service quick. How great to eat in a music venue!

Cute little cafe - Edit
Cosy little cafe operating in a night club during the day which gives it a nice atmosphere. The food was cheap and cheerful, I had the jackfruit burger which cost £4. However I went as part of a big group and food took a long time and there were many mix ups.

Great vegan comfort food! - Edit
This place is great - good value vegan & vegetarian food in an indie club, with super-friendly staff. I had a jackfruit burger and the staff helped me to customise it to make it vegan, with vegan cheeze and mayo. It was delicious! I'll definitely be going back next time I'm in Exeter.
Pros: Great value food, Very helpful and friendly staff
Cons: Nothing - it was all good!

Vegetarian greasy spoon! - Edit
I have visited the Cavern Café many times. I love it because I know I can always pop in when I have a craving for an English breakfast! Their vegan breakfast includes hash browns, baked beans, mushrooms, tomato and either toast or fried bread, recently it's also included sausages so they must have switched to vegan friendly ones.
The service is friendly but slow, because often the person who takes the order is also the person doing the cooking! Not ideal when you're on a lunch break (as I often have been when visiting!) but fine if you've got a bit of time on your hands.
It's an indie club, so expect loud music, dark walls, sticky floors and the smell of stale beer. If you don't mind that (or even quite like it, which I do) and you fancy visiting a vegetarian version of a greasy spoon café you'll like this place.
It's also ridiculously good value for money!
Pros: Vegan English breakfast, Friendly staff, Great value
Cons: Can be slow, Lack of staff
