18g Coffee Roasters & Coffee Shop★★★ Purist

Exeter's own roastery, roasting twice a week at Marsh Barton. Your cup is days from the drum, not weeks.

Littlestone Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

Jack roasts named single-origin lots at this small Marsh Barton roastery. The beans are specific, seasonal, and the kind of thing you end up subscribing to.

Alma★★ Specialty

Four rotating beans, filter and dripper alongside espresso, and baristas who know what to do with all of it. Worth crossing Exeter for.
