    Vegan panini
    Penny J.

    Panini time was a blast. Vegan panini was like giving yum even though it had mushrooms and tofu they put seasoning in there. 4 floors so be prepared to break a light sweat if you wanna find seating upstairs. Cute angled shop

    Quick shot of the top floor, trying to be unobtrusive hence blurry.

    Perfect little cafe in the center/centre of the university area. Small but tiered like a good cake with several floors of seating. Lots of vegan friendly options and also gf dairy free options. The gf df lemon drizzle cake was lovely. They have good coffee, matcha and juices. Table service available. Definitely recommend

    Cortado and cappuccino

    Lovely coffee place to chill out for the day. Tried the cortado and cappuccino. Got bunch of breakfast food as well. Cheers!

    Traditional English breakfast
    Laura P.

    Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch. We kind of brunched it. Great coffee. We got the traditional English breakfast that comes with baked beans, black pudding, sausage, potatoes and mushrooms, bacon, and toast. They have a variety of baked goods, pastries and desserts. They also carry gluten free and vegan options. I ordered a soy latte and was happy they had non-dairy milk available. So good and would order again. It's also only a 3 min walk from Oxford castle. I would like to come back and try their paninis. Highly recommend!

    Eggs Benedict

    I probably chose the wrong dish but the egg's Benedict was aggressively mediocre. It wasn't something I particularly wanted to keep eating. The eggs were small and weren't runny and the Hollandaise tasted too much of vinegar. I don't think this dish is indicative of the cafe's food quality though. Their sandwiches look nice.

    I love Art Cafe. It's an amazing find! It's quite small, but there are three floors of seating area. The coffee is good, and the staff are quite friendly. There's a wide assortment of baked goods, and there's loads to order from the menu! It's also a good place to get some work done, although they request that you don't sit there and work for too long if it's busy. On a nice day, there's outdoor seating as well, which I look forward to using as soon as I can!

    Starting from upper left going clockwise: matcha latte, chocolate brownie, tea, earl grey lemon drizzle cake
    Mandy K.

    Ducked into this cafe on a rainy Saturday afternoon to escape what else? The rain. I ordered a plain ol' cuppa with a slice of their earl grey lemon cake, while my friend got the matcha latte and a chocolate brownie. The tea was standard... Not much to say about that. The earl grey lemon cake was interesting to say the least. The cake went from wet, soggy, and kind of mushy on the bottom tier, to dry and crumbly on the upper two tiers. I'm not sure if this was intentional since I'm not a baker and don't know much about pastries, but it did catch me a bit off guard and was a bit off putting. I like my cakes to be moist all around, and this was both a bit too moist and dry all at the same time. My friend's matcha latte looked yummy and well done though, and her chocolate brownie was moist, dense, and chocolatey. I do love the ample seating Art Cafe has, and their prices are more than reasonable. Do drop in if you want an affordable afternoon tea!

    The coffee was disappointing. I had a cortado ... It was the size of a latte and tasted thin.
