The building, opposite the Custom House on what was the Exeter fish quay, has had many uses in the past, having been a customs transit shed, a fish market, and a greengrocers store. Since the Antiques Centre and Café opened, various internal improvements have gradually been made to realise a relaxed, warm and comfortable environment, where customers can enjoy brunch, lunch or afternoon tea, either inside or outside by the river, and browse and buy at their own pace.
