  “One of the best coffees in Oxford as far as my knowledge goes, and certainly the best (and only serious option) in Headington. Drinks are made well and with attention to detail. Pastries, albeit not too special, are still quite solid. Staff is super friendly and helpful. My only recommendation for this place would be to improve the the seating and ambiance. Contrary to other reviews, I find the seating to be insufficient and the layout to encourage the hoarding of large tables by small groups or individuals. There also never seem to be enough stools for the amount of seating space, which is already quite low. The outside seating consists of two beaten-down wooden crates with rusty nails and are always inconveniently placed on the entrance slope. Honestly, who makes this choice!? I understand the design is meant to be minimalistic and industrial, but some of it just feels off-putting. Literally my only “but” about this place so far on what is otherwise an outstanding product and an outstanding service. New Ground, if you’re reading this, please consider it!”

  “Friendly service and serves some of the best coffee I have ever had (I've been 3-4 times now) - and I have had some absolutely superb coffee in the past. Discount for NHS employees (I think it's 10%). Just show them your Trust ID card. I would highly recommend you at least try once. You won't regret it!”

  “Went on a Sunday afternoon as I had a couple of hours to kill. Coffee was not great, I have to say. The reviews implied this was for serious coffee heads and I got an overly foamy flat white with a distinctly bitter taste like milk was reheated twice or the porta filter wasn't clean, or something like that. Disappointed.”

  “Coffee is good, but service was slow and messy. We were waiting for a while for our coffees, while people who just got in got their coffee in a couple of minutes. One of the coffees we ordered was wrong, so more waiting. And at some point they were asking around to check what people ordered because they didn’t know anymore. It needs a better system for service during busy hours. They had a few pastries, with 1 gluten free option.”

  “The best spot in Oxford for serious coffee If you are looking for actual specialty coffee in Oxford, this is the place. They roast their own beans on-site, and the quality is obvious. Coffee: Excellent single origins. I loved the filter coffee (very funky/fruity notes), but the espresso drinks looked great too. Vibe: You sit right next to the roastery equipment. Extras: Tasty pastries and you can buy beans/swag to go. A must-visit for coffee lovers.”

  “The best coffee I've had in a long while. Usually only 2 main selection but a reasonably large collection of beans to buy back. We had one with chocolate notes and another with a fantastically curious strawberry note that came on beautifully without being sour. Baristas are nice and knowledgeable about their beans. A bit weird of a shop placing though, round the back, but an interesting atmosphere results of back alley workshop that's still clean.”

  “Got up to a chilly morning.. due to rain at early hours of morning. Had a flat white with croissant. Awaken by a very aromatic, rich coffee in a lovely roastery cafe....heavenly. Highly recommended if you're in this vicinity.”

  “Speciality coffee shop tucked away off the main road. The coffee itself was really good and presented well. The staff were nice and welcoming and gave us some recommendations. They have a lot of retail available too if you want to buy some beans, their guest coffee just now is from Friedhats based in Amsterdam, so I picked up some of their Columbian to try at home. If you're in the area and want guaranteed good coffee, this is the spot.”

  “Beautiful coffee shop with simple three menu (espresso, milk, filter) and very clean atmosphere. It was lovely that we were able to choose the coffee beans for the filter and the staff was able to advice us on coffee based on our preference. The egg tart was really great and wished it was warmed as well. The two coffee we got were from Columbia and Ethiopia but having a card describing which coffee it actually was could have enhanced the experience even more. The ambience was very cool and quiet so we tried to speak quietly haha but having some more seats could potentially enhance the atmosphere further. We ordered some coffee beans in the end which the price was not listed so having the price and also having some perks of if you buy coffee beans you get free drink or next drink free could be a nice way to have a perks. Would love to come back again and try some other coffees as well, it will be great to have some seats outside for summertime as well.”
