Nice cafe, close to the Courts. Good coffee, but very lacking in vegan options - no vegan pastries & no vegan breakfast bap option. Could be so much better

We had a great experience: friendly staff, great hot drinks and a relaxed atmosphere with enough space to sit down and relax.

If I was reviewing just the coffee then definitely 5 stars! The coffee was extremely flavourful and silky, definitely recommend. The were staff very friendly too.The food however was a slightly underwhelming. I read grilled sourdough sandwiches and expected some thick homemade bread with fresh fillings, but unfortunately the bread was really thin.The Parma ham sandwich was very nice, but the brie and cranberry (with crispy bacon strips) had an odd taste to it, and the bacon was neither crispy or in strips. I raised the issue and the staff who gladly changed the sandwich for me.

Lovely coffee and grilled sandwiches! Nice staff and lovely seating especially if you need to work at the same time! Outside space too :)

Popped in here on a summer's morning after a stroll around Christchurch Meadow as it was the only place open at that time, and I'm glad I did. Delicious coffee at a very reasonable price, and a pleasant, studious atmosphere (I presume it must be a favourite among local academicals?) make this the ideal place for a sit-down read.

Lovely little cafe right in front of the Christ Church meadows. Very nice grilled sandwiches, good coffee and here you can also get the delicious brownies from Bearfoot. We come here regularly since it opened, it's a fixture on our weekends.

Pretty good decaf but the real treat is the espresso. The brownies are nice and varied, definitely a good cup here.

Lovely little cafe! There’s quite a bit of seating which is nice, and the staff are all very friendly. I ordered an oat cappuccino and it was one of the best coffees I’ve tasted - also remarked by my friend! Would definitely recommend.
