About Art Cafe
Art Cafe is a cafe in Oxford at 14 Bonn Square, across from the Westgate shopping centre on a pedestrian shopping corridor. The interior is greenhouse-like, with views of the outdoors and artworks on display while you have your coffee. Ordering runs through a QR code, so guests sit at a table and order through the app on their phone. The menu pairs speciality coffee, including oat milk and almond milk lattes, with breakfast and brunch plates. Crepes come savory with ham and cheese or sweet with strawberry Nutella, and panini sit alongside them for a heartier plate. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Pastries draw the most praise at this cafe, with the blondie singled out by one reviewer who would travel from London for it, while others point to the goat cheese, a panini, the yogurt bowl and lattes made with oat or almond milk. Reviewers also mention the ham and cheese crepe and a strawberry Nutella crepe with generous Nutella, though the ham and cheese version came out dry and under-seasoned. Several describe the interior as a greenhouse-like space where they could see works of art, and many call the staff friendly and the ordering by QR code on their phone easy. The main complaint comes from one visit where a drink and two breakfasts arrived slowly, one order had been forgotten, and the second breakfast turned up well after the first. That reviewer found the food bland, and objected to a service charge added through the app that could not be removed. Others report drinks and food arriving quickly, and one returned the next day, while another came every day for the yogurt bowl.

“Amazing experience and food! The staff are very friendly, and the place is extremely pleasant. I loved being able to see various works of art while having coffee.”

“Lovely ambience ! From the moment you walk in and until the very end I’ve felt the magic of this place. First time in Oxford and it was definitely one of the best spots for a little sit down, local stop rather than a chain. Amazing customer service with food selection, delicious dessert option accompanied with a warm drink. Definitely a must visit!”
- Cynthia Yazici

“Came here for breakfast around 8am on a summer weekday. It was pretty quiet and without the usual afternoon summer tourist crowd. Good food options and very kind staff.”
