Crankhouse Coffee Roastery

Crankhouse is worth a visit to Exeter. Every visit I've made, I've been increasingly impressed by the range of coffees, cakes and savoury treats. The filter coffee is strong and showcases the bean well from previous experience. Today we tried the drip coffee which had pink lemonade notes, sweet and mild - perfect balance. The flat white was the nicest coffee I've had in a long time. The in-house roastery is always a treat, but what stole the show today was the cakes and savoury snacks on offer. Many places in Exeter offer cakes, many of those places use a supplier. Everything at crankhouse was fresh and homemade and it stands out. The ricotta and sun-dried tomato bun was spectacular, the banana bread hit the spot a treat and the lemon tart was delicious. Everyone was convinced they'd made the right choice with their order! Lastly, the ice tea was a hit. Cold brew steeped, no sweet syrup shortcuts. Loved by our resident tea drinkers, impressed the coffee crew too. Fabulous coffee shop.

Really friendly and helpful owner/employees who helped choosing one off purchases of bags of beans, as well as with subscription services, without ever pushing into anything. Great value for how excellent their coffee is; definitely my preference over other options in the area. My main issue is to not buy too many enticing options of beans at once! The new site looks great and hope to join a cupping session there in the future.

Cute coffee roasters with a lot of different roasts. Only had time to try the one, it wasn't my favourite but that's personal preference! But the barista/owner was clearly passionate and knowledgeable. Bit hard to find hidden around the back of a business park though!

It's OK. I had a drip coffee. It seemed a bit thin and weak for my taste, very watery and lacking any depth of colour. Taste was ok, but nothing like I've had before, quite unusual. I had the lemon and poppy cake which was nice, the cream topping is very lemony. I looked at their coffee beans but felt they were a little overpriced, and since the drip coffee was a little weak I decided not to buy any.

I bought a bag of the Pacho Ureña - La Fila which is a roast on the lighter side. Genuinely blown away by the flavours that I managed to pull out of this with my V60 and hand grinder, very bold cup that tasted like sweet berries with a light hint of fudge! Exceptional quality roast judging from that bag - £14 for 250g is a very nice price point for such quality single origin beans. Very excited for my next bag!

Brilliant customer service and delicious coffee. The first bag that arrived in my subscription was the Diego Robelo Aquiares Estate and honestly it might be the best tasting coffee I have ever had!

I really enjoyed my coffees here. I had two long blacks with two of the different types of coffee they roast on-site. The cookie was delicious too. It’s a really nice, relaxed environment and the service is brilliant too.

Another amazing selection of beautiful coffees from the knowledgeable and kind team at crankhouse. Also got a delightful coffee to take out as well. Highly recommend, we are so blessed to have these guys in the south west
