Green Routes Cafe, the flagship establishment of local roaster Routes Coffee, offers a uniquely cosy and inviting atmosphere on Magdalen Road in East Oxford. This multi-level venue, a collaboration with Greenbox Food Co, distinguishes itself with lovely decor, local art adorning the walls, and a cool, relaxed vibe, providing various seating options including a pleasant mezzanine balcony. Its reputation as a plant-based haven, launched in 2020, adds to its distinctive character, creating an enjoyable setting for visitors.
The cuisine focuses on delicious vegan fare, though cow's milk is available for those who prefer it. The cafe is celebrated for its top-notch speciality coffee and an extensive plant-based brunch menu, which includes popular dishes such as burritos, tofu, and delightful potato taters. Patrons frequently praise their famous American-style pancakes, available with a variety of tempting toppings, alongside other savoury options like the "Spicy Tuna Melt" made with chickpea tuna. The outstanding coffee, including flat whites and matcha, perfectly complements the food offerings.
This welcoming spot is ideal for anyone seeking a quality plant-based meal or exceptional coffee in a relaxed setting. It is particularly well-suited for breakfast and brunch occasions, appealing to both dedicated vegans and those exploring plant-based options. With amenities such as free Wi-Fi, a laptop-friendly environment, and outdoor seating, Green Routes Cafe serves as an excellent choice for casual meet-ups, leisurely meals, or even a productive work session.

One of the things I have missed the most since going vegan is an almond croissant so you can imagine the joy and excitement when I got to have a vegan one here and it was wonderful 🥺🩵
Not to mention, coffees are lovely and so is their matcha (something I’ve struggled to find in town!!) so that’s an added delight!!
As I said, I’d never skip Green Routes when in Oxford- it’s a must visit spot for vegans but also for everyone else. Good food is good food, full stop!! I’ve never had anyone complain after bringing them here 😉
