Okay Polsloe… we’re (almost) ready for you 👀☕️🥐

After a slightly chaotic few days of painting, moving things around, 16 hours long days… The Ridge at No. 1 is SOFT LAUNCHING this Wednesday! 🎉

We’re keeping it soft because, realistically, we’ll probably still be figuring out where we put things 😂

But the coffee machine will be ON, the pastry counter will be FULL and we’ll have all the good stuff you know us for:

🥐 Homemade pastries
🍩 Doughnuts & cinnamon buns
🥪 Sourdough toasties & filled focaccias
☕️ Locally roasted coffee
🤌 And plenty more made from scratch by us every day

Come down, say hello, have a nose around our new home and help us give the place its first proper test run.

There might be a little chaos. There will definitely be pastries.

SOFT LAUNCH — WEDNESDAY 📍 THE RIDGE AT NO. 1, POLSLOE, 9 am.
We are still figuring out our proper opening hours and the plan is to open this week Wed-Sat, then being fully open from Tuesday, 1st September!

See you there ❤️

🚨 OKAY… WE’VE BEEN KEEPING A LITTLE SECRET 👀🥐

The Ridge is growing… AGAIN. 😂

We’re very excited (and possibly slightly mad) to announce that we’ve taken over No. 1 Polsloe Café on Polsloe road and we’re turning it into Ridge at No 1 Polsloe! 🥐🍞🍩

It will all be run under The Ridge Coffee Shop, which basically means one thing…

MORE PLACES TO GET YOUR RIDGE FIX. 🙌

We’ll be baking, making and generally covering ourselves in flour as usual — bringing you our fresh pastries, cinnamon buns, doughnuts, sandwiches and all the other good stuff you already know us for.

So depending on where you are, you’ll now have different Ridge locations to hunt down your favourite bakes and sandwiches. Because apparently one location just wasn’t enough for us. 😂

📍 The Ridge Coffee Shop 📍 Our new Micro Bakery – Fore Street, Heavitree, will be our new main hub to create all our bakes and also we want to have a small retail shelf with our own fresh bread, focaccia, bagels and some other freshly baked goodies for you to take home and enjoy!

Same team. Same bakes. Same obsession with butter.
Just more Ridge. 🥐🤎

We honestly cannot WAIT to show you what we’re creating in Heavitree.

Opening details coming very soon… 👀

Heavitree and Polsloe we’re coming for you. 🥐🔥

Keeping our doughnuts game high as always!
I have been perfecting this recipe for over 6 years now and I am still super excited when they turn out so well!
Have you tried our doughnuts yet? We are the only place in whole Exeter selling our own proper home made doughnuts! Always made fresh in the morning by our bakers, then fried until golden brown and filled with any fillings you can imagine!
We have these on the counter 7 days a week, so you can't miss them!
