about
glorious+colour.jpg

The Glorious Art House is a vibrant, lively cafe bar and creative centre located in the heart of Exeter's independent west-quarter. It forms part of a rich local community of unique shops and creative businesses.

 

It was opened in 2014 by mother and son Rosy and Derry Tydeman. Having worked as a textile artist for many years, Rosy had a passion for colour and pattern, Derry was an experienced barista with an enthusiasm for hospitality. Together they created The Glorious Art House with the intention of combining great coffee and exciting visual delights which make every visit an out of the ordinary coffee shop experience.

Inspired by the colours and patterns of Mexico, the cafe and whole building itself is a living work of art - on every visit, you'll notice something new. Rosy wanted to create an oasis from the grey British weather and so The Glorious, from the sunshine yellow ceiling to the hand painted walls, from the authentic Mexican tiles to the extravagant crockery (filled with a delicious well crafted coffee) will guarantee to bring a moment of joy to your day.

 

Since its creation, three glorious floors have become a thriving hub for writers, musicians, actors, creative minds and coffee lovers to get together for conversation, live music and work meetings. Exhibitions, workshops and weekly children's sing-along sessions keep the cafe alive and ever evolving.

​Our dog-friendly courtyard garden provides a secluded outdoor space for sunny days and romantic fairy lit nights.

Food & Drink
At the Glorious cafe bar, we proudly serve Brazier Coffee, roasted only 22 miles away in Wellington, Somerset and Exmoor tea blended up on the moors near to Exeter. Our baristas take care in ensuring every cup of coffee or tea (or every glorious chocolate) is made to the finest standard. The same goes for our simple but delicious food menu for breakfast, lunch and treats.


Evenings 
Occasionally we have pop-up events and the cafe stays open late to welcome you for alcoholic and soft drinks as well as our delicious coffees and teas, accompanied by a variety of live acoustic music, poetry slams and art parties. Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.
