I wasn't hungry but wanted something warm on a cold, on-and-off rainy day; so I only ordered a savory cheese and red onion scone. It was okay - not too good but not bad either. Cashier manning the counter was friendly. Interiors are part modern and bright (in the dining area where pastries were shown) and part a-bit-old (in the other side of the ground floor as well as upstairs). It looks inviting from the outside.

We ordered two servings of tea (Earl Gray and Lady Earl Gray) and scones. The scones (two of them) came with strawberry jam and clotted cream. They were warm, buttery, and delicious!

Also, make sure to order the scones :)

Because it was Sunday, a lot of places were unfortunately closed. But we wandered past Brothers Cafe and there were a decent number of people eating there so we decided to check it out. We shared the Brie, Cranberry, Turkey Panini; Goat Cheese and Pesto Panini; and Pineapple Smoothie. The portions were excellent and the food was tasty. They did not skimp on the cheese, which was perfectly melted. The cranberry sauce and pesto added the perfect touch to our sandwiches. And it was nice to get some field greens on the side, even if it was dressing-less. And the smoothie was excellent. They were out of mango so we added some strawberries to it instead and loved it. The only downside is that service is poor. The staff does seem to be running around so they aren't the friendliest bunch. They also didn't give us the student discount even after looking at my student ID. Our waitress told us that it was only 10% off and that it was a pain to do and then just charged us full price. Considering the fact that so many students go there, I'm surprised they would say that. But anyways, the food was very reasonably priced and delicious so we left happy and full.

Prices are very competetive, I find most of the other food places in Cowley centre over priced! They also have seating outside. The staff are great and get your food served really quickly, so it's perfect if you're ona lunch break or in a hurry. It does get quite busy especially on a saturday, I think this is because it's just such good value and it's been here for years. Don't let looks be deceiving, the building isn't much to look at, but it really is worth a try. I would also recommend the chips, they are lovely. Also- this place is child friendly.

In fact, this coffee house, and the one across the road, are not only claiming to be the oldest in Oxford, or even in England, but pretty much the world.

We had just passed vaults and garden but kept walking since their prices were sky high! Luckily, he brought me here and I have to say I plan on frequenting this cafe quite often! It's on high street near Magdalen, so very close to the library! I ordered a mozzarella, tomato, and basil panini which cost an affordable £5.95 compared to some other cafes charging £12+ (yikes!) it came out super warm, oozing melted cheese, with a side of salad and crisps. It was the perfect quick bite while it lightly rained outside. Love the cafe, highly recommend.

We were sat upstairs near the window and it was nice and quiet there. Everything we ordered was delicious and we enjoyed our time here. Scone with cream and jam. I ordered plain scone. It was delicious. Warm fresh scone served with yummy cream and jam. I also ordered the chocolate cake tea with the scone and it was surprisingly good. Had some chocolate flavor and tasted good with milk. Hubby ordered Mac and cheese and it was served piping hot with a slice of garlic bread. Pretty good too! Kiddo ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a chocolate cake. The cake itself was soft and moist and not overly sweet. Went well with the tea and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate seemed standard and she seemed to like it. The place is not overly pricey for a touristy place. Service was also good and friendly.

The shop is TINY and there's only room for a few people in there at a time. I suggest grabbing a menu outside and then deciding before you make it inside. I had the Chicken Curry sandwich and it was so delicious I dove straight in and didn't even take a photo. Portions are generous. One thing you should plan ahead for is a place to sit if you choose not to walk and eat. Unfortunately, the Alternative Tuck Shop doesn't have any seating indoors or outdoors. Highly recommend this spot!!
