A spinach, avocado and bacon salad that was delicious, an okay prawn cocktail (something else they don't seem to get here, too much sauce and not enough shrimp), and excellent macaroni and cheese with mushrooms. Nice drink selection, including my favorite American bourbon, Buffalo Trace. I would definitely eat there again.

You make your toast from a selection of breads using a toaster right at your table (so you control how dark the toast is and it's perfectly hot and fresh) There are various options for breakfast depending on the time of day. As another reviewer says, pancakes are made by machine - this takes time, yes, but it's novel and probably makes things easier operationally. The pancakes are small but they're tasty and there are lots of sauces you can top them with. The cooked breakfast items are all good quality - a choice of two types of sausage, fried eggs, hash browns, mushrooms etc. There is an option to boil your own eggs but I haven't tried this. I would say the full cooked breakfast offers the best value. My main criticisms would be you can pay for unlimited hot or cold drinks, but to have both hot and cold you'd have to pay twice, and certain items are on show early in the morning but not available on the early bird price point, so the staff have to police what you go for which can feel uncomfortable. It's very busy on a weekend so if you prefer a quieter atmosphere I'd recommend going on a weekday if you can.

The coffee is fair-trade. As a result we were drawn in to try a late breakfast and were very disappointed. It offers bargain food at top prices. The bacon was nice but the sausages were awful- cheap, frozen and tasteless. The hash brown was the usual frozen type although the half slice of fried bread did look as though it was cut by hand. It Was a real shame about the quality of the meat, particularly when they have a top quality butchers a few doors away. The service was poor and we had to ask for serviettes and sauces (packet, not bottle). All in all, we won't be back again.

We stopped here on our way to North Devon for a family summer holiday, and we were looking for a…read morebreakfast stop, and i am pleased to say we found a traditional independent cafe that could dish up a half decent breakfast! The menu choices for breakfast were very good, with me going for the 'brunch' which included two hash browns, two sausages, two bacon rashers, and beans. Sadly no toast or drink were included in that price, which was £5.95 The service was extremely quick, and the food arrived hot and a full plate, and it went down very well. Drakes is only a small place, tucked out of the way, but appears popular with the amount of visitors in the time we were there. There was 6 of us, and they could just accommodate us, but not a place for large groups. If you like your cooked breakfasts, then its worth a visit.

My mate and I had decided to get an early start after a terribly uncomfortable night under canvas outside a wedding marquee and right next to a noisy generator (long story) and were in dire need of sustenance as we found ourselves approaching Exeter. My shiny new iPhone got major bonus points for helping me find a breakfast place that didn't involve us setting foot in an awful service station or taking a massive detour in to Exeter itself (where no cafes seemed to be opening until 10.30 anyway) - Den's Delights it was! My friend the driver voiced concern over whether we'd even be allowed in, seeing as we were obviously not long distance drivers and I was still all gothed up from our gig the night before but I prefer an adventure over nasty, overpriced service station stuff any day so we braved it and of course were absolutely welcome. The place was surprisingly large, cheery and very friendly, serving big filling fryups (I can vouch for the vegetarian option - YUM) for about a fiver served with good strong tea. Refreshed, we dabbed our mouths, bid adieu to the good people of Marsh Barton Industrial Estate and were on our merry way.
