They are now a short walk away nestled in a side street at 2 King Edward st. They still offer fantastic coffee, tea, and a cafe menu. I'm very partial to their breakfast menu usually ordering either the Full Oxford or the Eggs & Salmon. Service is quick and friendly and there's both indoor and outdoor seating available. Looking for a quiet seat, some warm coffee, and a fresh tasty bite? Look no further.

Best scones in Oxford! We came on a rainy Sunday afternoon…read moreand sat inside. They were playing jazz. The perfect mood for a gray day. 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! The service was quick, and the staff was super friendly! The prices are pretty affordable. If you are looking for a place to rest whilst enjoying some tea, I highly recommend this place! Also, make sure to order the scones :)

They are kind on the day you're jet-lagged and can't quite formulate the word "doughnut." They are kind when you're thinking about something else and don't notice that it's your turn to choose something. And they are kind when you don't know what a "yum yum" or a "bakewell tart" is.

A local's spot and a hidden gem. I ended up here on a whim and can't have been happier. When…read morethere's only enough time to do so much but you're hungry, you'll be in and out of the Alternative Tuck Shop in no time. 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!!

I was surprised that Bloody Marys are not as popular in the UK compared to the US. Having one was refreshing after drinking pints of beer all week. The restaurant's interior featured a nice wood U-shaped bar with large windows and doors that opened out to the outdoor patio. On a sunny day, the natural light fills the restaurant beautifully.

Were so kind to replace my spilled drink. The only negative was my daughter said the music they played was AI and she was pretty unhappy with that. If true a bit ironic given the name. Also we got a comically large straw, which was quite uncomfortable to use until we went and saw they do in fact have regular sized straws. Spoon was also overly sized and awkward. Just a bit of silliness, nothing too problematic.

My favorite bar / place to party in Oxford!…read more This is a super spacious, BEAUTIFUL building. It was originally an old church that's since been refurbished. You can still admire the beautiful stained glass windows, though. There's a ton of space to mingle with friends or strangers. When we came at night it tended to be dimly lit with loud music playing, definitely a club type atmosphere, so you could get lost in the crowd pretty easily. Of course, they may have since changed that vibe since it's been a few years since I visited...but I loved it at the time. The friendly bar staff also fixed me the best White Russian I've ever had, too, so that definitely helps with the nostalgia factor. :)

Man, if this was the states, everybody and their mother would be waiting for a table. One pizza is about medium size and just enough for one person. My only small complaint was that it was extra oily but take a napkin and sop it up. Indoor and outdoor seating available.
