They have breakfast and lunch options but we only came by for baked goods and coffee. I wasn't a coffee drinker then, but I remember thoroughly enjoying my croissant, as well as the tart I took back to savor later. It's a cute, homey place, easy to stop in and out of if you're in a rush, but comfortable enough to spend some time hanging out if you're in need of a more relaxed visit.

Their waitstaff was friendly and courteous. Food-wise, I wasn't too impressed. I ordered the steak and rarebit pie, which I hate to say, tasted really weird. It tasted as though the meat had been preserved for some time and became slightly rancid. I still ate it all anyway, and thankfully I didn't feel weird after the dinner, but it just wasn't that palatable. There was also a side of what seemed to be some carrot potato salad with some greens (not a whole lot). This was kind of mushy and weird for me. The green juice was refreshing, but it just came in a small bottled glass, so there wasn't a whole lot of it to drink. At least it's a great place for a large group if you need to seat a huge party.

Since Oxford University draws people world-round, it's hard to tell if the French accents and real or for the benefit of patrons. Several of the waitstaff and counter staff in the bakery/coffee bar did their best to make us wonder. I had scrambled eggs, done perfectly evenly yellow, with crispy ham and a crusty whole wheat toast. Full coffee options from Americano to Espresso we're available, but I chose an pot of breakfast tea. Their handless cups are Belgian tradition, and the cups for coffee are and closer to a bowl. A great way to warm hands while sipping. Breakfast options include Shakshuka, avocado toast, baked eggs and salmon, and many traditional and healthy options. As we and others were taken to tables, we wondered about their "system" as couples were sometimes seated at small tables, and sometimes at a large "community" table in the middle. Initial service was fast and food was also delivered quickly, but we saw at least four table who had to approach their server to ask for the bill, and as we grew weary waiting, I did the same. Perhaps they don't want to rush people as the restaurant had ample open tables, but it seemed like a general lack of attention. We returned later for take away, and I recommend a visit, but you too may need to ask for the check when you are ready to pay.

Dunno what the last review was on about. A lot of staff definitely have non-English accented speech…read morebut certainly not of the French variety. Not that it matters since this is a global chain, and I'm sure most of their food is supplied and not made in-house other than slapping sandwich ingredients together. This place has plenty of inside and outside seating, which they maximize to the point where if you're sat at one of the crowded inside tables, you'll be knocked and nudged every time a waitress or fellow patron gets up. My chair and elbows were getting knocked every 5 minutes or so, and I'm far from being hefty. Portions are very small for the price. My toasted ham & cheese croissant was an emaciated and flattened sandwich with scarcely any filling hanging out. The "mixed salad" that it came with was literally 3 tiny leaves of mixed greens. Such a sad sight. Even sadder was how chewy the croissant bottom was. A fresh croissant is light, flaky, and almost melts as it disappears in your mouth. This was more what you get when you microwave bread, dry and chewy. p.s. Gluten-free bread alternatives available.

From the folks that brought you the Handle Bar downtown, this is sure to be your favorite neighborhood cafe. The space is cozy and charming and the food is delicious. The menu might not seem long, but it has everything you could want - sweet, savory, full, light. The ingredients are locally sourced. The coffee smells great. The baked goods look amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my poached eggs with kale and hollandaise. The eggs were perfectly poached, the kale nice and soft, and hollandaise mustardy to add tang to the creaminess of the egg yolk. Jane had poached eggs with smoked salmon, and Oli had the Full House with extra mushrooms instead of tomatoes. There was also a side of beetroot hummus that was a tasty as its rich pink color was inviting. Nothing but happy tongues and tummies around the table. I look forward to visiting again when I'm in Oxford this summer!

What an awesome tea room! Literally on the Thames!…read more 7 of us booked a table for brunch and were not disappointed! This is quite a big barge and seats about 20 people comfortably, offering a great range of cream teas, sandwiches, breakfasts and drinks. A little quaint, traditional barge tea shop. The cups and saucers are just fabulous and the coffee mugs are varied - all adding to the variety and experience of this wonderful place. The tea is served in leaf form so you have your own strainer, which is really cool! I opted for a full breakfast today which was just right! Unfortunately they had ran out of bacon but I got an extra sausage for that! Locally sourced food which was cooked perfectly from the kitchen you can see at the end of the barge. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, offering their advice and explaining the food options as well. The service was excellent and relaxed. The most important part of finishing the meal is the separation of the bill, especially in a group. However they offered to spilt this and each of us pay separately, this worked great! Overall, this is place is highly recommended for anytime of the day, relaxing on the Thames, in wonderful surroundings, watching the swans swim by.

The place itself is so clean and super spacious. Two levels with the WC on the bottom level. The large windows on the top level allow you to seat and watch the street outside. The chairs to lounge are super cozy and comfy. My coffee latte was super tasty and my ham and cheese sandwich was the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
