I had a lovely dinner in Silvie tonight. I am so glad to see the dinner session has come back! I had Chicken legs with scallions for main, it is very tender and flavourful! And I had the tiramisu as the dessert, it is just fantastic! There is also lovely alcohol to go with the meal. The staff in Silvie are really friendly and sweet. This place just makes me feel at home. I enjoy Rosie the cat’s cuddle and the beautiful garden of course. Me and my friends enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere a lot! I’m going back for dinner again :)

We bought the Green Goddess Cake as a last minute wedding cake for our intimate ceremony as Silvie as recently closed their cafe which we had been meaning to visit and postponed too many times. So when we saw we could order online the same month of our wedding, it felt like fate.Jess was so so helpful with customer service when we had a bunch of questions with regards to delivery (as we were at the ceremony during the delivery window and it went so seamlessly with the event coordinator at the venue). Not was this fantastic customer service the cake was absolutely phenomenal.It was so much bigger than we expected, decorated impeccably and possibly the best chocolate cake we've ever had! We couldn't recommend Silvie enough for any cake needs and we will definitely have our go-to local bakery for all our future celebrations!

I went here for brunch with my girlfriend on a Sunday. Service is a bit unusual, you need to find your own table, get cutlery and order and pay at the bar, very much self-service vibes. But that is paired with honestly fairly steep prices, about 14£ per brunch dish. Food came pretty slowly and was not super outstanding.Location is quite cute, they have a big garden which could be really nice to sit in in good weather, unfortunately it was raining when we went here.

Very good coffee and delicious food. It’s always nice to go places that offer something new and interesting as part of their menu. At Silvie’s they work wonders in their kitchen. Loved the food on our last visit.

The atmosphere is extraordinarily welcoming and clean. This restaurant is obviously loved by its ownership and staff. The menu is quaint and delivers in its promises.I really enjoyed the ordering method. My table and I chose to eat outside in their garden table area. We took a numbered wooden spoon at their counter and silverware when ordering so they could find where to bring our food.I ordered house granola with coconut yogurt in place of Greek [highly recommend coconut]. My table also ordered the full English and poached eggs over salmon. Each item was perfectly executed and brought to our table in almost no time at all. This was during an oddly busy weekend in Oxford. The staff were very nice and seemed to smile with every interaction.My only complaint is my friends and I tried to go again the next morning without checking their hours of operation. They were unfortunately closed!From London to Bath, my favorite breakfast in the land.

Delicious food! We stayed at Browns (the hotel attached to the cafe) so came down for breakfast in the morning. The food was lovely, staff super friendly, and we liked the charm of the place. Weather was good so we sat out in the garden and were greeted by the cat, Rosie, who loved a good fuss. There seemed to be a lot of locals coming to eat here, not just hotel guests. Would definitely come again!

Lovely cafe with delicious baked goods, food and coffee. The food is freshly made and a well considered but small menu. We enjoyed plum toast, and Turkish toast. The Turkish toast had good flavor and texture.

Poorest service I’ve experienced in a very long time. Not only did it take them over an hour to serve our simple order (we were told it could take up to half an hour), but they also got it wrong!! Missing items they had to bring on a separate plate. Apparently they only open 3 days a week, but it’s amazing they even manage to open a single day. They were running out of ingredients left and right. When I approached the counter the lady literally told me ‘good luck trying to order from what we have left.’ Some hospitality. That should’ve been our queue to leave. And I now genuinely feel that’s what she was going for. I would avoid any day. Plenty of welcoming, more respectful places that deserve your money.Replying to the owner:Not only are you incompetent, but you’re also belligerent and pure liars!!! Never once was I rude or tried to jump queue. Or do you mean when I came back to tell you my correct table number? Was I supposed to queue again? We changed tables once because it started raining while we waited and waited outside, and your cinnamon buns are “full of allergies”, completely thoughtless if you’re aware of my “many allergies”. I wouldn’t dream of coming back… that is if you’re still open with this despicable attitude!! Insincere apologies after a shocking service do not ‘undo’ a terrible experience. Wow

Incredibly cute and homy cafe with lovely staff members and nice garden to sit outside! Smoked salmon with sourdough was incredible and loved that they were using missing beans coffee! The garden outside was very lovely and all staff members were wearing masks which was really great too! Would love to come back again :)!!

Simply the best local cafe - now open fortnightly on a Sunday, and for the occasional pop-up or other special events.Great little garden or sit inside, including the conservatory.Using high-quality local ingredients - cooking and baking with style and flair. Elsie makes the best cappuccinos.Plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices.Oh, and you can now order from a wide selection of cakes - and the yummiest cinnamon buns - on the wesite, then pick them up or have them delivered!
