Our first time at The Cheeky Vegan in the heart of Exeter city centre. Lovely friendly experience for breakfast. Owner Ken and assistant Maggs were friendly and helpful.

This place sounds great. I live in Cranbrook , just outside of Exeter. I will have to check it out. Do they do any vegetarian dishes by any chance ? .

Kinda basic, but very good to have the option - Edit
The chicken burger was just a basic fillet with lettuce and mayo in a bun. Coffee and cakes very good & lots of options will have to try

Very basic - Edit
Vegan junkfood, but very basic. The hot dog could use some greens and sauerkraut. And the same goes for the burger. I hate to admit that I like the Burger King vegan burger better.

Reopened - and even better! - Edit
First time visiting since The Cheeky Vegan reopened with new owners. In my opinion, it’s now even better than before. The treat of vegan junk food (hot dogs, burgers etc) remains, but the menu has been expanded with pastries, pancakes and a “vegetable” veggie burger which was delicious.
Read morePros: Fully vegan cafe, Great location, Reasonable prices

Sibling brunch - Edit
Visited with my brother on a rainy Saturday. We enjoyed the cathedral views as we ate.
Read moreThe servers were very helpful - they took the time to check the ingredients for their milkshakes to see if they were suitable for me. I was really glad to see they were made from ‘natural’ pure as opposed to syrups as the syrups normally aggravate my ibs badly. So I got a real treat!
We also ordered two fry ups - my only critique is there was a huge amount of beans which filled us up too much that we struggled to manage the toast. I think half the beans would have been perfect portion wise. It was all freshly made and delicious. I can’t wait to visit again!
Pros: Yummy milkshakes with ‘natural’ ingredients, Loyalty card programme
Cons: Big portions
TheCheekyVeganEX1
We remember you, Charley! Thanks so much for your lovely review and we’re glad to hear we were able to serve you a milkshake that worked for you.
Read moreWe hear you about the portion of beans. We recently moved to making our own beans and, to be honest, we were caught out by how much more filling and satisfying they are compared to the beans we used previously. Thanks for letting us know!

No such thing as too big portions 🙂

Incredible milkshakes! - Edit
My go to spot to grab a milkshake after work. Loads of flavours, all delicious, and can add vegan marshmallows! Always wanted to try their pancakes, but have to wait until I am back in the UK rip. Staff really friendly, and the atmosphere is nice. Definitely recommend, support your local fully vegan businesses! ✨

I cheeked and I loved it. You should too. Chocolate milkshakes. C’mon. Pretend that doesn’t seal the deal. I’ll wait.
Read moreSimple menu, delicious . If you can eat a burger without a napkin is it a burger?
No charge for whipped cream? Did you hear that Seattle?
Pros: Service. , Options , Chocolate shakes with whipped cream

Love this place! - Edit
My favourite place for brunch in Exeter. Looking forward to it reopening! I’ve tried a few things on the menu and so far everything has been great, food, coffee and milkshakes are all delicious. Slightly on the more expensive side but definitely worth it!

Good lunch spot - Edit
Lovely location right by the cathedral, we stopped here for lunch. Very welcoming staff and service was quick. If you like milkshakes they do amazing ones! The menu is typical vegan fast food, the texture of the 'chicken' in the burger and wrap was really good, it just lacked a bit of flavour.

Go-To Location! - Edit
Hands down the best vegan junk food I ever had. Staff is super friendly and the place looks slick. Certainly not a place I can see myself at the end of the month but Id consider working overtime to have more of these burgers.

Good fully vegan restaurant in the southwest of England - Edit
Was in Exeter for a night in November 2022 on my way to Cornwall and really happy to find this place that offered all sorts of vegan comfort food. Will definitely go here again if I’m in the neighbourhood.
