  “A great place for specialty coffee in Oxford. Hand brews are excellent and the cold brew was probably the best I've had. Clean interior and nice benches outside if you want to enjoy your coffee there. Strong recommendation!”

  “Very easily one of the best speciality coffee shops in Oxford. Incredible packaging, lots of different kinds of beans and some of the tastiest batch brew around. I have to stop myself from buying a coffee everytime I walk past.”

  “Nice coffee but filthiest toilets I've ever seen... it's not even a case of I may have caught them on a 'bad day', they clearly haven't been cleaned properly for months/years. Looked like black mould growing next to the sink. Soap dispenser filthy, plastic wrappers everywhere, the list goes on. Needs a deep clean/organise/repaint despo.”

  “I ordered the matcha (£5.20) and a flat white, and both were very disappointing. The matcha had almost no tea flavor at all — none of the umami or seaweed-like notes that good quality matcha should have. It just tasted like slightly sweet green water. At this price point, this level of quality is unacceptable. The flat white also had a serious issue: the milk and espresso were not integrated. While drinking it I already felt something was wrong, and after opening the lid it became obvious why — the drink was visibly poorly mixed, with almost no sign of proper milk incorporation. I live in London and visit many independent and self-roasting specialty coffee shops. I’m not here to nitpick, but on New Year’s Eve to receive drinks of such low quality was very disappointing. If staff are not properly trained, then training should come first — rather than charging customers premium prices for poor-quality drinks. I genuinely hope you take product quality seriously instead of focusing only on pricing”

  “I often enjoy exploring local pour-over coffee shops during my travels around the world. On my visit here last week, I ordered two cups — one brewed with beans from Colombia (El Jaragual) and another from Guatemala (Blue Ayarza). Unfortunately, both cups were rather weak in flavour and lacked the complexity I expected, with only a faint note of fermentation. It seemed that the coffee-to-water ratio might not have been ideally balanced. At £5.50 per cup, the quality did not quite justify the price. Overall, a disappointing experience compared to other pour-over coffees I have tried across the UK.”

  “New Ground Coffee in Oxford is a lovely spot with a clean, minimalist setup and really nice seating, although it isn’t a huge space. The atmosphere feels modern and well thought out. The coffee itself was excellent – the flat whites were perfect in flavour and texture, served in beautiful ceramic cups (which I know aren’t cheap!). Personally, I think they were closer to 5oz rather than 6oz, and I’d prefer the slightly larger size. At nearly £4 per flat white, it does feel on the higher end – if they were pitched around £3.30–£3.40, this would easily become my go-to café. Service-wise, the ladies working there were warm and friendly. The one male staff member, however, came across with a bit of an ignorant vibe and could definitely work on self-awareness – a friendlier approach and a simple smile would go a long way in a small, intimate café setting like this. Overall, though, the quality of the coffee makes it worth visiting. For me, it’s a spot I’d happily come back to every so often for a treat.”

  “More of a vibe than an actual cafe. I've done a short video to demonstrate why as words would be as unnecessary as the decor. Completely accessible place with low level access wide front door and multi sex wide doored loo. The door to the loo opens outward so awkward for wheelchair users and I have done a video of the passageway to the loo as it might be difficult for a manual chair to navigate. Food...wine and coffee. A bit stylised but I like that. The food is pastries (sorry no gluten free options this time) and they were delicious! Atmosphere: beautifully austere presentation with chill Music. Lots of laptops. Great place to meet academics 👍🏼”
