Very tasty vegan cafe

Happy to accommodate preferences of ingredients. Very tasty food.

Though it says deli, and they do sell products to take away, it feels more like a cafe eatery. I hope they don't miss custom because it's not in the name.

Pros: All vegan, Happy to listen and clarify ingredients, Friendly staff

Helpful staff plenty of options

Was difficult to decide what to actually get, as it all looked so amazing. The bacon is absolutely incredible, and next time I am near, I will absolutely be picking more up. Well priced for what you're getting, and would definitely recommend checking it out; it is absolutely worth a detour.

Pros: Full vegan menu , Friendly and helpful staff, Well priced

Delicious

Delicious food mainly produced on site. Best vegan bacon I’ve ever consumed. Family run by personable and passionate team giving it a welcoming atmosphere. Ate in sharing different focaccia; so impressed also bought in house seitans on deli counter to take away (lots of the bacon) to enjoy the deliciousness at home

Pros: The wholesome and delicious food, People watching in the sunshine, Passion and enthusiasm of this family team

Insane sandwiches

I usually wouldn't go crazy about a sandwich but this is one I'll think about for a long time! We had the katsu chicken on focaccia and it was absolutely amazing. So many flavours and a really nice atmosphere in the place too 😊

So good I came twice

This place is great and would really recommend if you're in Exeter! They have sandwiches, baked goods and salads. They do sell out of things as the day goes on so be prepared to not have everything available. Downside is they don't have a lot of drink options, only really tea and iced matchas on Friday I think. I preferred the buffalo chicken sandwich over the pepperoni but liked the number of options to choose from. The salads were also delicious.

Best vegan deli

Absolutely the best. Great sandwiches and salads. Meat-free alternatives are hand made and beautifully combined with fresh ingredients in mouth watering sandwiches.

Amazing

Just been in for lunch and will definitely be coming back. I had the loaded salad with ‘SFC’ and partner had the katsu chicken focaccia. Both were incredible as was the biscoff focaccia.

Some of the best food I've ever eaten

UNREAL. We went for the Festive Food Lock-in and had a hot roast bap each, and shared a couple of sides. Everything was so unbelievably tasty. It's genuinely up there with some of the best food I've ever eaten.
It sounded like they'd had a very busy day, but all the staff were so friendly and on top form. We will be back!

Delicious cheese!

We have gotten the vegan blue cheese, the original sharp cheese and the sumac soft cheese from here. Its the best vegan cheese I have ever had and the staff are so friendly! The cheese is quite expensive but it is worth it.

Simply the best!

Me and my partner discovered How On Earth for the first time when explored city. We tried little bit from everything. Lots of vegan meat options and fresh veggie salads for takeaway or eat in. Would deffinetely recommend this place.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options., In the heart of the city.

Lovely little deli

They have pre-made sandwiches that they can toast for you or a selection of salads that you can mix and add a faux meat if you like. We tried three of the sandwiches, some salad, and a fried ‘chicken’ piece that all went down well. They custom made a smaller sandwich for my son as he couldn’t finish a standard one that he enjoyed.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great selection of food, different from the norm., Very tasty.
