- May DruryMarch 6, 2016Beautiful Location, a must see, very busy at peak times, don't go on a Bank holiday. Wonderful home-cooked fresh local food & freshly baked goodies, lots of choice friendly & efficient service.Upvote6Downvote
- Richard HarrisJanuary 2, 2016Excellent coffee, tea, soups & vegetarian food. Long tables like in traditional coffee houses of old. Lovely interior. Free WiFi, but you can't use laptops between certain lunch hours to save space.Upvote6Downvote
- MoretotheValeApril 4, 2014Wow, amazing place and fantastic spot for lunch. Make it your first stop for food. Can find a queue here but moves pretty quickly. We had the Rarebit and it was delish!Upvote2Downvote
- Valerie SSeptember 14, 2019Lovely and historical spot to grab tea and scones (with a variety of jam choices!). Either to sit outside or in. Great scenery either way. Quintessential oxford experience.UpvoteDownvote
- Ана ЛековићAugust 20, 2019Fresh food, nice scones, perfect for lunch in summer cause it's only place in centre I saw that has outside seating (and the English never have aircon). Beware of the lovely bees 🐝 though 💛UpvoteDownvote
- Bryan ClarkMarch 20, 2018Terrific scones, coffee, and tea - in a friendly, warm space tucked into a building from the 1320s. Way better than any cafe along the main stretch nearby.UpvoteDownvote
- Frances BrightmanFebruary 1, 2015Lovely cafe in very unique surroundings. A great selection for vegetarians/vegans and those with food intolerances. Can get very busy indeed though, and you may need to share a table.UpvoteDownvote

- Kazem EdmondJanuary 16, 2015This is a great place. A must see. But it's NOT cheap. I don't know why FourSquare gives it a single £. It's moderately expensive for what you're getting.UpvoteDownvote
