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.

Perfect spot for tea and a scone. It is exactly what I had been dreaming of and wanted upon our…read morearrival to Oxford. Nestled in the Oxford University campus and alongside St. Mary's with a view of the Radcliffe Camera you can't beat the location. The menu has many lovely choices which only made me want to return if we had more time. The service was fast and friendly. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a great experience here.

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 :)

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!!

Inside the tight quarters, the choices were well marked so ordering and payment was easy enough. After ordering they bring it out to you back outside.

Visually the tiny burger we were served was dwarfed by a large bun; half of my burger bites were of bread!! What few bites of beef I had were dry and unseasoned. On the other hand we also had a veggie burger and the patty unpleasantly was full of black pepper! The chips were fine but the salad had an unexpected strange sweet fruit element/taste. The lemon beer got us through a sad meal.

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.
