“Finally got a chance to check out Exeter Apothecary and it did not disappoint! We grabbed a seat at the bar and enjoyed watching the entire team flow so seamlessly. The customer service was top notch even as they never stopped moving. The place is small and was packed full but they took their time with every customer. The bartenders were attentive and very personable. I loved that every dish was explained when it came out. It is very clear that everyone there has a passion for everything they create! The drinks were incredible and the small plates are beyond words! The original plan was to grab a drink and small plate and head off to dinner somewhere but we couldn’t resist sampling half the menu and left happy and full! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys craft cocktails and unique food!”

I had the Turkey Harvati panini. It was delicious. I skipped the sun-dried tomato mayo and just got regular mayo.

I also ordered the Milky Way Latte. Omg…..my new favorite coffee drink and it’s not even close. By that I mean my new favorite anywhere……it was that good.

I also had this amazing chocolate cookie with powdered sugar. That was so good that I forgot to take a picture before devouring it, lol. I’m sure everything they make here is great. I look forward to trying other things next time I go (but not the coffee, that will be the same!)”
