Join us for a relaxed morning coffee with fellow singles over 50. Make new friends or meet someone special.

Great for first-time guests

Our first Coffee & Chat — a lovely, easy way to meet people and connect in a relaxed setting.

Come along for coffee, add a slice of cake if you fancy it, and if the conversation is still flowing, we might even end up staying at Hyde & Seek and having lunch together. We’ll simply see where the morning takes us.

That’s what ZEST is all about — relaxing, connecting and enjoying time together.

Hyde & Seek is a colourful independent lifestyle store and café in the heart of Exeter. Its café serves coffee, homemade cakes and wholesome food in a friendly, informal setting — perfect for a relaxed ZEST get-together.

On arrival, Sarah, Founder of ZEST, will be there to welcome you, so don't worry if you're coming on your own or haven't been to a ZEST event before.

Coffee & Chat is designed to be easy to step into. There’s no pressure and nothing forced — just a chance to sit down, have a coffee and enjoy good conversation as you get to know people naturally.

Come for coffee. Stay for cake. Maybe stay for lunch.

We’ll just go with the flow.
