This is, in my opinion, one of the best cafés in Oxford. It is welcoming, has great coffee (nine times out of ten), wonderful wraps, amazing carrot cake, friendly staff and a really good atmosphere. It has a variety of places to sit - front outside seating, inside seating, downstairs seating and covered outside seating at the back there. However it is a compact cafe, for those who like very spacious cafes you may see this as a fault. But for others the cosy bustle is a plus. If you're in Oxford and looking for a good vibes cafe, with a middle Eastern character, and hungry, this is a great option.

This place is lovely, ended up going twice in my short visit to Oxford. It has such pleasant vibes with various delicious freshly made items to choose from for breakfast, tea or coffee I tried their spicy chicken wrap with English breakfast tea, which literally tickled my taste buds🤤.. a great breakfast combo I enjoyed very much Also ordered a nice cup of flat white with almond milk (minus) the coffee art which was very disappointing 😅

Loved the place, food and ambiance. The red lentil bean soup, that was vegan 🌱 came out really interesting taste wise. The avocado 🥑 toast was also brilliant, very unique subtle flavour. I had 2 cups of Karak Chai that was refreshing too. Baklava wasn’t too good, it was bit hard so didn’t enjoy that much. A must visit cafe in Oxford. I came here following the Google reviews and I am sure my review will help many others to discover this wonderful cafe in Oxford. Loved it.

Visited with a friend for breakfast on the 14th of June. Really lovely looking place - decor inside is fresh and inviting with delicious looking cakes, treats and wraps in the window. We chose to sit out on the front as it was a particularly warm and sunny morning. We ordered our drinks and food easily with the friendly lady at the till. I will be honest and say there was an issue - we waited for quite a while for our drinks and it became apparent that perhaps we had been forgotten about when a person who had ordered after us had received their food before we had our drinks. Now, I'm not bringing this up as a negative, but rather to highlight how this was dealt with. We didn't mention to anybody that we were still waiting for drinks, but it was clear it had been noticed by the baristas. Anyway, not long later our drinks were brought out with many apologies before we were informed (by perhaps the manager, though I'm not certain) that there was some error and our order was momentarily lost and we were reassured our food was coming as quickly as possible. We weren't in a rush, so it really didn't matter to us and it was a genuine mistake - we're all human and it happens! We were offered free cakes/treats as an apology, though neither of us are hugely sweet toothed so we politely declined. Our breakfasts arrived shortly after and were beautifully presented and delicious. Sometimes it just really doesn't matter if something goes wrong, just that it's handled well (on both sides). Thank you!

Lovely cafe with so many incredible lunch/breakfast items!! They can warm their lovely special sandwiches and the deserts are exquisite as well! The atmosphere is lovely and the lovely big windows brings a lot of light inside. There are a lot of coffee choices as well and would love to see some descriptions on each deserts so we can search their history and influence of the dish more :) Having some student discounts or point card system could be lovely as well! Would be back :)!
