I had an absolutely excellent experience at the High Street Café. From the warm, welcoming atmosphere to the beautifully presented food, everything was spot on.
The cinnamon roll that I had for dessert hands down the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever tasted warm, soft, and just the right balance of sweetness and taste. I’d come back for those alone!

Their cinnamon bun drew us inside and it was really tasty - they warmed it up for us which was a nice touch. Our drinks, on the other hand, were average, the coffee frappe was really bitter and tasted like it was made with poor quality instant coffee. The smoothie was basically a very sweet fruit juice. And the service was quite brusque so we didn't feel particularly welcome. Not sure I would return.

If you’re looking for a devious sweet treat, this is the place for you. The cinnamon rolls in the window have been tempting me for weeks and I finally gave in. As you can expect, anything smothered in a mountain of nutella is to die for. Staff kindly warmed it up for me. Service was very fast!

I went here with my mum. The service was fast and friendly, and they were easily able to accommodate our inconvenient requests for custom crepes. The crepes themselves were fairly nice, though the salad with which they were served was not at all fresh.

A nice setting in Oxford, however I found the menu options limited and the food to be basic. The prices were fairly reasonable however could have been cheaper for the quality offered. One of us had scrambled eggs, however these were offered with some bread and a chunk of butter. The scrambled eggs had no flavour to it.
