Quick info
About Cafe 53
Cafe 53 is a cafe on Alphin Brook Rd in Exeter, attached to Bridge Motorcycles. That setting gives riders a place to wait while their bike is in the workshop, and the cafe also works as a stop for a break after a ride out. The menu includes the Bargain Bap and iced coffee, so there is something to eat or drink while the work is done. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring them along.

Customer Review Summary
Motorcyclists make up most of the draw, since the cafe is attached to Bridge Motorcycles and suits a break after a ride or a wait while a bike is in the workshop. Reviewers single out the Bargain Bap and the iced coffee, and one calls it the best in town. One notes a greasy, burnt smell from the kitchen extractor, and another says people call it expensive.

“Further to my review below, I have to say the refurbishment work carried out at the cafe is fantastic. Well done to Cafe 53 for their hard work a couple of months ago, the place is top job now 🙂 They need to improve the kitchen extractor there is always a greasey burnt smell in the air, sort of 1970's greasey spoon atmosphere. But it doesn't stop me from going in.”

“Its a good enough excuse to come to bridge motorcycles even if your bike doesnt need anything”
- Jeromie Wad
“This is a great cafe for motorcyclists and others. Just be careful not to order your new motorcycle with your coffee. Hard to explain once I got home!”
