Quick info
About Tick Tock Café
Tick Tock Café is a breakfast restaurant and coffee shop on Cowley Rd in Oxford, styled as a 50s retro diner with clocks on the walls. The menu runs from hot breakfast ciabattas served in large portions to a Turkish breakfast and jacket potatoes, with halal food available. A fresh juice squeeze machine sits alongside the coffee counter. Sandwiches round out the wider menu, and the café operates on a walk-in basis rather than taking reservations. The step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance suits visitors with mobility needs. It opens daily, and the location sits a short stroll from the city centre.

Customer Review Summary
Price is the recurring caveat. One reviewer calls it a bit on the pricey end, another found a basic English breakfast with tea and toast overpriced and noticed a smell and taste of old oil, and a third was charged for a glass of milk on a return visit. One reviewer found service a little slow during a rush, though food arrived quickly, and a few sat outside in the sun.

“English breakfast was overall disappointing, there was an underlying smell and taste of old oil about the food. I think it was overpriced and poor value for money, over £14 for a basic English breakfast with a mug of tea and toast. I would not recommend this cafe or visit again. Do you think that’s worth £14.45?”
