About The Rose Oxford
On the High Street in Oxford, The Rose Oxford is a tea room set in a space that reads larger inside than the frontage suggests. Menu items include Afternoon Tea, built as a set designed for two but shared among larger groups, alongside a Caesar salad for those after something savoury. Scones come with clotted cream and jam, and a lemon cake sits among the homemade bakes. Tea is poured alongside coffee and other drinks, and the wider menu runs to twenty dishes spanning breakfast and European plates. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken.

Customer Review Summary
Scones are the clear draw, with reviewers praising a freshly baked one with clotted cream and jam and calling the scones great. Close behind are the afternoon tea, where one set for two fed four, along with the lemon cake and a nice tea selection. One reviewer enjoyed a Caesar salad with crisp lettuce and shaved Parmesan, and another had soup at lunch.

“I had a surprisingly delicious Caesar salad here, and it was outstanding in every respect. The lettuce was fresh and crisp without being overly hard, the Parmesan was clearly of excellent quality and shaved to just the right thickness, and the chicken was juicy, perfectly roasted, and beautifully browned, without the bitter black grill marks you so often get elsewhere. The real highlight, however, was the dressing. It tasted freshly made, with real lemon juice providing the perfect balance of freshness and acidity. An example of a simple dish elevated into something truly memorable. Highly recommended”

“Great afternoon tea here! Ordered a set for 2 and it was a perfect snack to share between 4 people. Loved the scones and the lemon cake!”
- Hazel Squire
“Looks rather unprepossessing when you go in but serves excellent ciabatta. Bit of a wait to get it but they were excellent and well loaded with fillings. Good value. Just wish they cut them in half in the kitchen - they’re too big to eat whole and too hard to cut with the knives provided.”
- Lanier Lawrence
“Been a student here for many years now, and there is really no other café like the Rose around Oxford. The delicious scones and croissants are always warm and fresh out of the oven, the ambience is sweetly nostalgic with tunes from the early 20th century, Victorian poetry albums hunkering on a little shelf. Most importantly, however, the service is second to none. Alex is always incredibly attentive and kind-hearted, and one can tell that the owners have a genuine passion and vision for this place!”

“Stopped here to give my little one’s legs a bit of a rest after lots of walking. Ordered some drinks and a freshly baked scone with clotted cream and jam - one of the best scones I’ve ever had. Still thinking about it now. It’s a shame I live over 3 hours away.”
