About Pitstop Cafe
On an industrial estate in Exeter, Pitstop Cafe is an old-fashioned greasy spoon at 25 Marsh Green Rd E, with trades people among its customers. Breakfast is the main order, from the hunger buster to all day breakfasts. A small vegetarian breakfast comes with black pudding and veggie sausages, made with potato, pea and carrot. Staff serve from behind the counter, and filter coffee is Lavazza. Dogs are welcome inside, and one visiting dog was handed a sausage.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw here, with reviewers repeatedly praising the all day breakfasts and the "hunger buster" as plentiful, hot and well priced. One diner chose the small vegetarian with black pudding, calling the crisp potato, pea and carrot veggie sausages and the fried potato highlights. Coffee gets mentioned too, including a Lavazza filter coffee described as good quality and not stewed. Staff are described as friendly and polite, and several call the cafe clean, bright and old school, popular with trades people despite its industrial estate setting. The one criticism comes from a reviewer who says anyone wanting top ingredients should look elsewhere, and who asks for the luminous red sauce to be changed. Reviewers also note the outdoor seating, with a ramp and netting against seagulls, and the cafe's welcome for dogs, one of which was given a sausage.
