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.

If you are looking for great baked goods in Oxford, look no further than Barefoot Bakery!…read more Nestled in the heart of Jericho, this cozy little spot is an absolute gem for anyone who loves fresh, handcrafted treats. They also have a great selection of vegan and gluten-free options. The vibes are charmingly rustic! The staff are super friendly and always happy to recommend their favorites if you are stuck deciding (which you will be). Whether looking for a cozy spot to work, catch up with a friend, or simply indulge in sweets, Barefoot Bakery is a must-visit in Oxford!

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.

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.

There are three sitting area sections, including an outdoor patio. The staff was cordial, helpful, and quick with our order. The prices were reasonable for the serving sizes. I highly recommend them for a quick bite or brunch!

"Make sure you visit G & D's!" was probably the most common refrain you'd hear from OSAP alums…read morebefore visiting Oxford. At least, those of them from Mississippi State always said this -- perhaps because, as a major AG school, many of us take the production of good ice cream very seriously. We're not called a cow college for nothing. :) G & D's, of course, refers to George and Davis. And, indeed, they have very, very good ice cream. I tend to keep it simple with chocolate, and theirs was always stellar. They have a couple locations around town so you can pick the one most convenient to you. It's a very popular place with a loyal following of students, residents, and tourists alike, and definitely worth giving a try.
