Today we visited a wonderful cafe in the very center of the city. We really liked the casual atmosphere and the relaxed friendly guys who work here. The food is excellent! My baked salmon, served with potatoes and salad, was excellent! Also, the traditional pizza The spires was very good. A huge plus was the water cooler, we arrived and were very thirsty. And here's great news for all animal lovers - you and your dog will be welcome here! This time we did not have time to try desserts, but next time we will definitely do it! I will be happy to come back here again.

One of my favourite places around Oxford. The food is amazing, the staff are extremely friendly, and it is spacious inside. My personal recommendation is the free-range chicken porcini and the spinach and feta pie.

A good place to eat a typical English breakfast ! We went there with 50 students and it was a very nice moment !
The waiters are nice and always ready to help you! The hot drinks were perfect! Thanks for the delicious cappuccino and hot chocolate!

*The scone was a bit dry.

Great breakfast, super friendly staff and a very pleasant atmosphere. The food was delicious, home-made, with generous portions. Convenient location next to the central bus station - we had a reservation for 10 people before our departure from Oxford. The staff created some space for our luggage and made sure that we enjoyed our meal. We would highly recommend it!
