Comments
When the drinks arrived, there were mistakes. Some of us had specifically asked for Coke on tap but it was brought out in bottles instead. The service was so slow and inattentive that we didn’t even get the chance to ask for this to be corrected. The food itself was enjoyable but no one came to check on us during the meal to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything else.
At the end of the meal, we were left waiting another 30 minutes just to receive the bill, which yet again we had to flag down ourselves. A service charge had been added and we had intended to ask for it to be removed given the poor service. However, due to the long wait and the fact we had another booking to get to, we decided not to pursue it.
To add to the discomfort, we were seated at the back near a large window. Once the sun came out, those of us facing it spent much of the time shielding our eyes, which made the experience less enjoyable.
Overall, this venue has the potential to be a lovely spot but the service on this occasion was extremely poor and let the whole experience down.
What we ordered: (shared by 3)
-iced vanilla latte: 9/10, genuinely so good. The vanilla flavor was spot on and it wasn't too milky. The perfect caffeine kick to start a day of exploring Oxford
-matcha: 8/10, cute decor, not too earthy taste
-english breakfast: 8/10, you can't go to a spot like this without getting the classic. A great introduction for the family everything was fresh, hot, and traditional
-chorizo hash: 6/10, bit of a mixed bag. The dish was filling and well-cooked, but the chorizo itself wasn't the most flavorful I've ever had. Still a solid savory option
-blueberry pancakes (3 stack): 9/10, these were absolutely unreal. So saucy and bursting with blueberry flavor. If you have a sweet tooth, you cannot skip these
It has a nice ambience and not too crowded.
However it took around 1 hour for the starters were served and 2 hours for us to get our mains. Perhaps just a busier day than usual, as others who frequented the place said it was usually very nice service.
