Celestial Cafe - Exeter

Thank you to Cindie and the celestial crew for an amazing date night out with our little girl! They accommodated us without having reservations and the food was just exceptional as always! Every time we try something new the menu’s description does not truly prepare us for how delectable the dish will be. Highly recommend!

There are lots of vegetarian choices. Everything was delicious. We had the pesto calamari, chowder, banana bread pudding, black bean burger, crispy Brussels sprouts, and crispy asparagus. They source almost all ingredients locally. They also had gluten free options. Vegetarian options: Veggie options Brussels sprouts, crispy asparagus, black bean burger, and pasta aioli. Dietary restrictions: The calamari was gluten free. And there’s a gluten free bun for the black bean burger.

10/10 amazing. From the moment my daughters and I walked in (they’re all under 10 years old) the hosts were polite, the entire staff was sweet! Bathroom was clean, and there is also an area for banquets or private events. ? treat your tastebuds and your soul the vibe is nice, and the food is YUM. Did I mention the sourdough bread is freshly made on site?! Parking: Easy right near the entrance Kid friendliness: There was an awesome kids menu way more than the usual kid menu offering of plain pasta and butter. The chicken parm was fantastic, the chicken was nice and tender, sauce delicious! 2/3 of my kids recently lost front teeth so they’ve been “watching the textures they eat” they could not resist trying everything and had no regret.

Great staff and the food was fresh, creative, and delicious. Prices seemed a little high, but only a couple dollars more than a mediocre alternative. This place is a gem! Vegetarian options: Pesto Flatbread Sweet Potato Wanton Vegetarian Nim Chow with Peanut Sauce

A very pleasant surprise find after a tulip picking outing in Exeter. The food was nuanced and flavourful. We had the shaved veg salad and pork nachos for appetizers. Tasty dressings and great variety of textures and flavors. The Thai style fried rice was beautifully seasoned. You knew from the mound of perfectly crispy fried basil on top that the chef cared about serving delicious food that hits all the right notes. The texture of the beef rib was soft and juicy. The black bean burger was good and the fish and chips were huge and well cooked. The key lime pie and lava cake were not overly sweet and flavorful. Prices were a bit higher than I expected for being outside a city but you could easily pay the same prices for mediocre or worse food in Boston or Providence. Additionally, we loved all the Jamaican music. Great random find!
