Details
Delicious aromas of freshly cooked bacon and brewing coffee often greet you at The Egg, a popular café and sandwich shop found at 5 Courtland Road in the Rose Hill neighbourhood. This local favourite is well-regarded for its generous full English breakfasts, which include options like a veggie breakfast with scrambled eggs, beans, potato, and veggie sausages, alongside tasty sandwiches and baguettes. It's an unpretentious spot, praised for its affordable prices and the friendly, efficient service that makes both locals and visitors feel welcome. Whether you’re grabbing a quick takeaway or settling in for a more leisurely meal, The Egg offers a satisfying taste of Oxford well worth venturing slightly off the main tourist track to discover, especially noted for its good value.
Situated in the residential OX4 area, The Egg provides an authentic slice of local life, serving as a daytime community hub for Rose Hill residents. Visitors exploring this part of East Oxford, perhaps after a walk to nearby Iffley Village or along the Thames Path, will find it a welcoming place for a hearty refuel. The menu extends to burgers, jacket potatoes, and toasties, with a "Big Breakfast" and Turkish breakfast also making an appearance on their Deliveroo listings. While it focuses on straightforward, good-quality comfort food rather than gourmet frills, its commitment to a clean environment and good service has earned it positive reviews and a high food hygiene rating, making it a reliable choice for a tasty and budget-friendly meal.
