Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the coffee, singling out a flat white, cappuccino and latte as well-balanced and on point, with one noting a ton of non-dairy milk options. Pastries come close behind, including brownies one reviewer eats nearly every day and a custard tart called lovely, and one reviewer recommends the smoked salmon focaccia and the sausage roll for breakfast or lunch. The matcha draws the sharpest complaint. Two reviewers say it tasted mostly of milk, and one describes an iced matcha as green-colored ice and milk with no matcha flavor. Several also say the space is small and crowded at peak times, so a table can be hard to find, though both indoor and outdoor seating are liked. One reviewer adds that the toilet is shared with the market. Service is repeatedly called friendly and quick, even with a long line, and the baristas are described as skilled. Students, remote workers and locals mix here, and one reviewer says the staff make the place feel like somewhere they are a regular.

“Best coffee shop in Oxford, great staff and great coffee. Fantastic location, too. Only thing is they share a toilet with the market, but that’s just Oxford buildings for you.”

“Very nice café with a cute inside and a nice location. My flat white was well-balanced and tasty. Our matcha wasn’t great though - it just tasted like milk and could be stronger. The custard tart was lovely.”

“A really excellent place to get coffee and pastries, with nice indoor and outdoor seating. Usually not too busy, although at peak times getting a seat can be difficult. The staff have always been very friendly and skilled baristas!”

“We ordered iced matcha. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. I’ve had matcha—both hot and iced—at various places before. What we were served had absolutely no matcha flavor; it was just green-colored ice and milk. If they’re introducing new items, the staff really ought to learn how to prepare them properly, because, sadly, this was impossible to enjoy.”
