Sis went to Univ for her Junior Yr abroad & loved this place so when when visiting her old haunts…read moretoday, La Croissanterie was a must. Veggie Samosa was filled w/ veggies & lightly spiced. Pizza Baguette w/ shrooms & cheese was a delish twist - all long & skinny but chewy w/ it's brown bread The most delish thing however was the Caramel Fudge! Think Graham Cookie-Shortbread crust w/ a thick layer of caramel & all topped w/ a layer of dark chocolate Still in purse & yet to try is the Chocolate Flapjack - which is like an Aussie Bar (for us Yanks) with a layer of dark chocolate on top

For other American tourists reading this, Gail's is a UK coffee shop chain with something like 150+ locations, and it's fantastic! They have an extensive breakfast menu, with a bakery attached, making delicious fresh bites of all types, and I had no complaints on the coffee. There is outdoor and indoor seating available where plenty of students post up with their laptops for study sessions. Service was quick and friendly. We even met a Minnesotan running the register which was fun. Need a pick me up and a little bite? Check out Gail's!

I don't know why it took me so long to write this review, because Organic Deli is AMAZING. I love…read morethat it's out of the way, and in a little alley. It's a cute cafe with limited seating downstairs but quite a bit of seating upstairs. I've been there for both brunch and coffee (sometimes simultaneously), and I've always found everything up to standard. For brunch, I usually get the full English breakfast, but for drinks, I've tried their latte, matcha latte, and regular matcha. I liked all of them, but I wouldn't ask them to brew a pot of regular matcha again. The matcha sometimes clumps and doesn't quite mix well, which can make drinking it a bit effortful. Other than that though, I'd highly recommend Organic Deli. I will definitely be back, and if you haven't tried it for yourself, you should definitely pop by and check it out!

They have a great range of fresh bread in all shapes and sizes, and cream cakes that take a lot of resisting. When working locally I always bought my sandwiches from their chiller cabinet as they use their own bread and have a good selection of fillings - if what I wanted wasn't there they would make it for me and I could collect it at a specific time if necessary. Customer service is a high priority and it is always a very busy shop as a result of the quality and convenience of the store.

They went so well with the crispy bacon and croissant. My experience while eating it was indescribable, and I was frantic at that time--walking briskly towards my next destination while holding shopping bags and a city map--so when the croissant omelette bacon forced me to take a moment to enjoy the flavors and texture of the food I was eating, I knew I had to write about it on Yelp. The canelé also stopped me dead in my tracks, only because I didn't recognize the spices/ingredients. It was my first time eating one, and it was a delight. I immediately wished I had bought two instead of one. The large pistachio macaron, I swear, gave me a mouthgasm. Oh... my... goodness, was it good! I mean, how can it not when it's pistachio-flavored AND huge? As for the Quiche Lorraine, I unfortunately waited too long to eat it, so it was cold and a bit stiff by the time I ate it. It was still good, but I know it could've been better warm. Customer service was satisfactory. The space of this place is a bit tight due to all the tables and chairs there. They prepare the coffee perpendicular and to the left of the pastries/cash register.

Maison Blanc is famous for their grab and go pastries. These are my favourite croissants in…read moreOxford. Their coffee is a bit hit or miss. It's dark, and sometimes they cappuccino is great, and sometimes it's just burnt and bubbly. But Taylors next door serves a decent cup of Illy. It's just a good breakfast place. I usually love the eggs florentine if I'm going savory. However the portions are a bit on the small size for my brunch loving American self. Seems like a local trend here that french toast, although delicious, is a single thin slice of white bread. But at least they have plenty of pastries to top off with your meal. They also shine on cakes and cake decor. You normally have to order a day before, but their cakes are worth it. I ordered the Fraser cake for my husband's birthday and it was a hit with the whole family. Worth the walk for a morning bite.
