About Missing Bean Coffee Roastery
Missing Bean Coffee Roastery is a coffee shop in Oxford at 1 Newtec Place, serving coffee from Missing Bean Coffee Roasters. The beans are roasted in the neighbouring unit, and the original roasting machine sits inside the café. Pastries and cakes come from the business's own bakery, with vegan pastry options among them, and the kitchen also makes home made bread and lunch. Bags of beans go home with customers, along with home brewing equipment, branded clothing and other coffee merchandise. Staff bring drinks to the table when they are ready, and the room has indoor seating with high-stooled tables. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring them along. Missing Bean also runs multiple locations in the area.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the coffee, roasted on site in the neighbouring unit and described as strong, delicious and high quality. Close behind are the baked goods, from an in-house orange almond cake that one visitor wished they had taken more of to pastries with vegan options. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and knowledgeable, and several describe it as a good place to work on a laptop, with indoor and outdoor seating, wifi, plants and a good soundtrack. Students and remote workers fill the tables, and one reviewer mentions the community events. The criticism centres on pace and temperature. One reviewer reports slow service during the morning rush on several visits, with staff chatting among themselves while customers waited. Another found the coffee lukewarm and the food overpriced until the afternoon. One more describes a queue that forms unpredictably, snaking between the tables and the two doors. A few note it can get busy. One reviewer adds that the original roasting machine in the cafe is about to start roasting chocolate that customers can watch.

“Slow service during the morning rush, on several visits. Staff chat among themselves while customers wait. Needs to be quicker and more customer-focused.”
- Gina Cole
“Fantastic coffee shop. Great coffee, service and food, including pastries baked in their onsite bakery. The beans are roasted in the neighbouring unit and the original roasting machine in the cafe is about to start roasting chocolate which customers can watch. Ruins other coffee shops after you’ve been here!”
- Lauren Walker
“Food looks incredible. Gave it a 4 because ive never had it. Staff are amazing and so kind. I come here to work regularly. They host some really good community events too. The coffee is delicious.”
- Lorraine Jackson
“Overpriced food until after 2.00pm, Luke warm coffee however you emphasise HOT. Dogs sniffing around the tables is particularly off putting and the stench quite overwhelming on occasions”
