Where Good Coffee Meets Good Company
Welcome to The Press House !
The Press House has been part of Exeter’s coffee scene since 2020, when it was first opened by Dan and Melissa. The name comes from the letterpress workshop that once sat just behind the counter, a little piece of history that gave the café its charm.
In October 2024, Sarah and Lee took over and gave the place new life. Their goal was simple, to serve great coffee and brunch every day in a space that feels welcoming, bright, and full of personality. They opened up the room where the old press used to be, creating even more space for people to relax, catch up, or just enjoy a peaceful moment with a good drink.
We’re all about quality, comfort, and community. Our menu has something for everyone, with a mix of vegan and non-vegan options, seasonal specials, and a team who truly cares about what they serve. When Sarah and Lee aren’t around, you’ll probably be greeted by Gray, Jacob, or Ella. And if you visit on the weekend, you might spot Frankie too.
Next time you’re in, ask us what’s on the back of our t-shirts and why.
We promise there’s a story behind it!
Whether you’re a local, a student, or just wandering Fore Street, we’d love to welcome you in. Come grab a seat and make yourself at home.
We’re open every day from 9 to 3:30 and always have something brewing.
