Jericho Coffee Traders
Quick info
About Jericho Coffee Traders
On the High Street in Oxford, Jericho Coffee Traders is a compact espresso bar with seating that fills quickly at busy times. Coffee comes from a single machine, so a queue can form during peak periods, and lattes arrive with latte art. Oat and almond milk are both available alongside the espresso drinks. The counter also sells coffee beans, including a Colombian option, with tasting notes and prices displayed for browsing. The menu runs to sweet and savory pastries and cakes alongside the drinks. Seating is walk-in, with more comfortable spots toward the back of the room for those who find space. Outdoor seating on the High Street looks out toward the street's historic architecture, giving those tables a view not found at the counter inside.
Good to know
“Warm, laid-back espresso bar serving coffee drinks alongside an array of baked goods & sweets.”

Customer Review Summary
Lattes with well foamed milk and latte art draw repeated praise, with several reviewers also singling out the flat whites, cappuccinos, and an iced long black that brought out the beans' flavour. Close behind is the coffee bean selection itself, including a Colombian option with tasting notes and prices displayed, available to take home. Pastries and cakes, both sweet and savory, are mentioned as a reliable side order, and the medium roast is described as chocolatey with no bitterness, though one reviewer found the roast a little burnt on a busy morning. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and knowledgeable even during rushes. The space itself draws mixed notes: cozy and welcoming to most, but small, crowded, and limited on seating, pushing one group of six to take drinks away. One reviewer reports a dirty chai that tasted "funky" and upset their stomach, a sharp contrast to the lattes they'd otherwise praised. Iced drinks were called diluted by melting ice on a hot day.

“Great coffee place. Their flat whites and cappuccinos are outstanding. Inevitably rather limited seating.”

“Visited with a group of six and a baby in a pram. The café is quite small, so we ended up getting everything to take away. I really liked their selection of coffee beans. There were a few options, including a Colombian bean, with tasting notes and prices clearly displayed. We even picked up a bag of beans to take home. We ordered an iced latte, an iced filter, and an iced long black. The iced long black was excellent and really brought out the flavour of the beans. The iced filter was a little disappointing, as there was quite a lot of ice, making it taste rather diluted. The iced latte was similar, the milk and ice slightly overpowered the coffee. It was an exceptionally busy, hot day, so that may have affected the drinks. I’d happily visit again on a quieter weekday.”

“Best coffee in Oxford! Not to blow Jericho's trumpet. My partner and I have been coming here everytime we visit oxford as it just by the bus stop. Coffee is expertly made with care and taste fantastic. Staff are always very friendly, regardless of the queue or wait the quality is never sacrificed or faultiers. I really feel this is how all independent coffee shops should be. The good selection was great, we had a sweet pastries. However, they had some savory pastries also.”

“I have mixed feelings about this place. I was initially blown way by their lattes, which possessed excellently foamed milk. It was my go-to for normal lattes. However, upon trying a dirty chai, I wanted to retract all my recommendations to my friends. It tasted quite funky, almost savory, and made my stomach thoroughly upset. I wonder why the quality is so inconsistent.”

“I came here during a busy rush after the store opened. With just one coffee machine they were still very quick to prepare all the coffees, still crafted with care despite being busy! The roast wasn’t particular to my liking, there was a little of a burnt taste. They serve oat and almond alternatives to milk.”
