Art Cafe in Oxford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely place , great atmosphere great location

Great location, coffee was good, crepe ok

extremely rude, unfriendly and condescending older woman with blonde short hair serving here, food and coffee is good and other staff seem friendly, but horrible woman

I always try and visit these guys when I'm in Oxford. The food is amazing, quick to arrive and decently priced. The staff are fab too.

Loved this place, the chaos the energy and the location were all fantastic.

Excellent food, spectacular service. The only thing is that it is a bit expensive, but it is understandable given the location and the quality of the food.

loved the food and coffee here :] bit confusing that you have to grab your utensils yourself, but ultimatly no big issue.

There are about 9 people in a tiny kitchen. Wich makes it chaos. Price wise it's allright for that part of town. They have a gluten free option. But it's not great.

We had breakfast here for three mornings on a trip to Oxford. The food was very good indeed and a great choice of food on the breakfast menu. Lots of options from traditional fry to bagels / sourdough with avo and bacon / porridge with fruit

We were pleasantly surprised. We ordered 3 sandwiches and a wrap. Natural flavors and flavored ingredients.

best staff in oxford, sooo friendly and memorised my order and made small talk. really good atmosphere and community

Great menu with lots to choose from. We had breakfast here every morning on our three day break. We were never disappointed with our choices and generous portions. Would definitely recommend.

We stopped off for drinks and snacks late afternoon. Although it was simple to order and pay for the food using the QR code I was a little shocked at being asked to tip before any contact with the wait staff! I ordered a juice and my husband and eldest daughter ordered milkshakes. These drinks were nice enough, but were not good value for money. My youngest daughter enjoyed her crepe, but my husband's scone was so hot and dry that it fell apart when he tried to cut it. He returned it, and was refunded as the staff appeared to know already that there was a problem. We had to organise our own cutlery and napkins, and I was a little surprised at having to go to the ground floor to get glasses of water. Over priced, we won't be returning.

Beautiful cafe, great and quick service (order from Scanning the code on table). Food is amazing. I also ordered matcha latte, a bit sweet but still very good. Would come back.

Absolutely delicious food and gorgeous iced mocha!!

A must to visit while in Oxford. Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and the best location.

I stopped at this kiosk bar by chance. Honestly nothing special. Outside under the awning it acts like a heat hood.

We ordered a goats cheese salad baguette and my friend ordered jacket potato with cheese and beans., we also had mixed berry milkshake. The baguette and jacket potato was really good, especially the baguette, fabulous bread. Both these are 5 stars but the milkshake at £4.95 was a let down, not worth the money 😩

This is great little cafe in the commercial centre, just right for a pitstop when you’re shopping. The menu looked very interesting but I’d eaten recently so just had a coffee and ice cream. Both great. Friendly service and a comfortable place to take a break.

Very nice place with different atmosphere,i always enjoy, when i am in Oxford to have a coffee there .

The location is so good, which is at the centre of the Oxford. Art Cafe has very good breakfast. The Cafe tastes good. The most important thing is that the environment is so nice and you can see the people go in and out of the Westgate shopping center. They also put beautiful decorations in the restaurant. The restaurant has two floors and we like the top one

Cream tea was ok, but service was non-existent

We had scrambled eggs and avocado and salmon, avocado tasted bitter, most probably it was quite an old one. Scrambled eggs wasn’t fresh and had something in them which tasted like plastic, couldn’t finish, it was the worst scrambled eggs I had ever eaten. Order poached eggs instead if you have to.

Lovely place to sit upstairs. Coffee was great. Scrambled eggs were very dry and avocado had a strange bitter taste to it.

Lovely place with really friendly staff and the best coffee I've ever tasted 😋

Wonderful little cafe. We really enjoyed our coffee and panini sandwich. Edwardo was an amazing guy and very friendly.

Got a crepe with cappuccino. A really good corner to catch up with friends

Trying to find somewhere that opens early for breakfast in Oxford was a challenge but then I found this place. Absolutely awesome large filing vegan cooked breakfast & excellent coffee. Friendly staff & clean. Got a lovely window seat. Thanks so much.

Good spot for lunch with plenty of space and a huge menu. Easy to order through the QR code. Quick friendly service and dog friendly.

Food is okay, but nothing special, as was the service. The atmosphere is vibrant and upbeat. Main reason for the low review is because I've just checked my receipt and found I've been charged 15% for a tip, when food was ordered via a QR code on the table. Probably my fault as I didn't notice it when ordering, but in my opinion a tip should be my choice to add, not to remove. £9 For bringing 5 sandwiches and 5 drinks up one flight of stairs seems excessive.

Truly some of the rudest staff I've ever come across. They all treat you like they can't be bothered to serve you and all just stand talking and look at you like you're in the wrong place when you enter. A very bad atmosphere when you walk in. If you ask a question you'll get a very short, angry answer.

By far the best hazelnut cappuccino in Oxford! I've been coming in here for years and the English Breakfast is always good quality, service is speedy, and the coffee is nothing short of perfect. Sometimes it can very busy to the point where it feels overcrowded which can affect the food, but for those who don't mind or are happy to visit on a quieter day, I highly recommend!! Great little café.

Great lunch menu, something a bit more exiting than the usual sandwiches. Friendly staff and were able to take our dogs in too.

I found this place when looking for a nice cosy café where I could meet my brother and sister for a day out in Oxford. It looked tiny inside but there were tables available on the first and, I think, second floors. Despite how busy it was we received very quick service with a smile. The coffee (a flat white) was so good I had to have another one, which arrived just a few minutes after ordering via the QR code on the table. Next time I’ll come for food (although the almond croissant was very good!).

The coffee is delicious Brownie feels a little sweet But it goes well with coffee The service staff are obviously tired Seems impatient Very affordable cafe

next to shopping mall There are street performers singing next door Enjoy the afternoon while drinking coffee

I stopped by this café on a weekday evening. Despite the crowd, I was able to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere and excellent coffee. I ordered Mocha, which exceeded my expectations. The coffee was rich and flavourful, and the ambiance of the café was lively and inviting. Overall, I would recommend this spot for a casual coffee meet-up with friends or a romantic date. The cozy atmosphere and good coffee make it an ideal choice for a relaxing outing

Great food and coffee, only disappointment is no HP or Heinz sauce.

it has that... je ne sais quoi... but it has it.

Had the iced latte with oat milk the device wa shares and so was the atmosphere. The coffee was good too if a little expensive

Lovely service from Giovanna super friendly!!! Art cafe the place to be even being super busy they take care of your order smilling and in a good mood very good vibes will definetly go back!

They made us coffee with marshmellows, waiters are very friendly

Really nice drinks - great smoothies to go made from 100% fruit/vegetables. The cafe has seating both inside and outside.

THE ART CAFE IS EXCELLENT FOR COFFEE AND A SNACK WHEN YOU ARE IN OXFORD AND ON A NICE DAY BY THE WESTGATE SHOPPING CENTRE AND MEET NEW FRIENDS AND HAVE A CHAT, ALL THE STAFF ARE SO FRIENDLY. SEE YOU SOON. BARRY.

Always excellent food and great service. I love the range of options.

Way too expensive for the quality received. It's not bad, it's just NOT worth the price.

I got the brazillian panini - seasoned chicken, bacon & mozzarella. It was super dry and flavourless. There was no sauce apart from a random splodge of mayo the size of a 20p coin. I couldn't taste the seasoning on the chicken and the chicken itself didn't taste nice. The panini itself was a decent size and there was a good amount of mozzarella. Overall very disappointing

On my day trip to Oxford. Popped in for a panini and a cup of tea. Then, later on in the afternoon, I visited the cafe for a milkshake. I really like the atmosphere, and the service was 💯. It's definitely a place to visit when visiting Oxford ☺️

I went with my Miss’s and we ordered two cappuccino’s and they were very creamy and tasty “One of the best cappuccino I drunk in oxford”. In addition we ordered some food and was delicious. The waiters are very kind and we received the food after 10/15 min. that we ordered it, we were quiet surprise since the Café was quiet busy. Highly recommend.

In a city full of eateries I happened upon the Art Café on Saturday ( and Sunday ) and felt so content with my delicious latte ( the best in Oxford) and sun on my face… the rest of the family joined on Saturday lunch time (14 in all ) and we all loved it.

We had 2 large cappuccino's which they tasted like warm milk, extremely disappointed 😞

We stopped in for lunch while in Oxford. Unfortunately the standard of the food was well below what we would have expected. My Chicken and mayonnaise baguette was dry and I had the feeling the chicken was the cheapest possible quality. My wife had a panini and left half of it. Her coffee was nice. You pay your money and take a chance. We won’t return.

Busy little place, we sat upstairs. Hot drinks and an absolutely delicious mince pie cheesecake which I wish we hadn't shared! I really will be checking out this café when I return to Oxford.

Despite all the hype, I was pretty unimpressed by this place. The poor service at the counter downstairs got me off to a bad start. I was largely ignored by the staff who just told me to pay and then left me to sort it all out. When I asked for a receipt I was then ignored again. Hmm.. The ambience and decor were very ordinary, so no 5 stars from me.

Very friendly staff, quite busy but we’re lucky to find a seat with a nice view. Service was very quick, had the goats cheese with walnuts and honey on sour bread with extras….absolutely delicious!

Very nice people and even nicer food, definitely recommend !

Fast service, good outdoor seating, delicious food makes this one of the best cafes out there in Oxford. We tried the chicken baguette and granola yogurt and both of the items were fresh and tasted absolutely amazing! They have adopted the system of ordering through QR code which is good and fast. Do definitely try the coffee. It is really good!

Had I not taken a photo, no one would’ve believed this! I asked for a fresh orange 🍊 juice and was served with a massive Iceberg (of the same nature that made the Titanic sink, Bear in mind some of it had already melted with the juice), and cannot believe was charged £4.50 for this ! The bloke behind the till clearly wasn’t bothered! Think this was the most expensive orange shot (25 ml) I’ve ever had ! Why thank you ! P.S: It’d be nice to ask people if they want ice 🧊 for a start !!! And for some reason this review has been hidden from their google page ..,!! ____________________________ In response to your recent reply: If you make a mistake, OWN the mistake, don’t blame your customer or come up with BULLSHYY.te excuses by saying : “SHAME YOU DIDn’t ASK FOR SOMEONE TO REPLACE WITHOUT ICE” How would I know there’s an ice berg in the cup ? I hadn’t noticed until I was 2 minutes away, no one minds 2 or 3 ice cubes 🧊! But not half a kilo of ice 🧊!!! It’s criminal to charge £4.50 for a shot of orange juice! Now every time I pass by your shop I almost thro.W up 🤮

So explain to me....in what universe does one go into an eatery, be told to order yourself on a QR code what you'd like to eat and drink... and expect a tip paid...before experiencing the service? No Art Cafe. No. THEN food is delivered and you have to guess where the cuttlery and napkins are kept? Shame. Food good and plentiful but prices comparative. System.. back to front. Cutting corners for the service to then be given a 1 star review. Ce la vie.

Very tasty! I had a creamy chicken quesadilla, it was gorgeous and the cheese was lovely and melting. I also treated myself to an enjoyable iced tea. Going to go again for brunch!

Good food and location.. . but c'mon .. a 15% default tip even when you seat yourself and order and pay from an online menu?

Food was excellent, ordered a panini and hot chocolate

Beautiful building, decent amount of indoor seating (albeit up one or two floors) as well as outdoor seating in nice plaza, wifi plugs and each floor well stocked with condiments and cutlery. Good coffee!

Quick service and delicious food

lovely place friendly staff good food brilliant atmosphere with local artists paintings. menu suitable for meat or veggie

Quick service, delicious bagels and hot, good coffee!

Super cosy atmosphere split over 3 floors. Can order by QR code to table or downstairs at the kitchen if you have allergies. Cater for gluten and dairy intolerance, delicious Avocado, bacon and egg sandwich. My partner had a full english which he enjoyed but it could have been a little warmer. We would recommend!

It’s located in the city centre, so great place for shopping & meeting friends. We liked that we didn’t have to go downstairs from the second floor to order drinks using the QR code at the table. However, we have to go to up first to check if there are empty tables on the first and second floor… Anyway it was a coffee that suited my taste as a coffee lover. Looking at the dog at another table, I realized that this is a cafe that is friendly to animals. The guidance to avoid monopolizing tables during busy business hours also seemed good.

ローカルカフェと聞いて行ってみました。閉店30分前でしたが、嫌な顔せず迎えてくれ、ホットチョコも美味しかったです。日本で言う2、3階に席があります。 ◯W-Fi

Excellent selection of panninis, service not great, you don't feel a valued cutomer,, coffee less that warm. Shame it's not as good as last time I used it.

Just a coffee which he made from the tap just added some coffee and milk was warm for £3:10 will go to weathsoops next time

Great food great staff convenient location

Lovely little gem. Fresh food cooked to order, great coffee. Popular place for brunch.

I had a chance to enjoy amazing crepes at Art Cafe with my daughter and we loved every bit of it. I didn't know that they were also serving great breakfast so, that's what I'm having the next time :)

I have always loved the art cafe but today I went to the store outside and the woman who served me was extremely rude unfriendly and took the piss out of my clothes

The most delicious breakfast and lunches. Well cooked to order food. I wish I could give it 10 stars. Healthy options. They don’t add a lot of butter and fat unnecessarily like you find in a lot of breakfast places. Loved it!

Good GF and vegan choice of cakes. Would have been good to have a pot of tea with a cup, not just a mug. Friendly place.

Very busy but coffee was amazing.

A nice little cafe, nice ambience, great selection of food from breakfasts through to lunches and what looked like amazing cake. The staff were very polite, helpful and friendly. I would happily go there again.

A cozy atmosphere, with beautiful decor. A complete menu and delicious food, both savory and sweet, and drinks. Great service. I definitely intend to come back more often.

Excelente! Grande variedade no menu. E tudo muito gostoso. Atendimento nota 10. Recomendo! Voltaremos com certeza 😍🥰🥰

Vibrant place with two (or more?) floors of indoor seating, as well as outdoors. There is room if you want to squese a bit. Could be a bit noisy indoors with all the chatter. Had a good out milk latte with a tasty vegan chocolate coconut flapjack desert. Friendly and smiling staff (they are many).

I was there with friends and I can say the idea with first, second and third floor are nice but there is a negative side that you should walk up to find a place. For old people it could be difficult :( Anyway the food was yummy, my salad was really full(in my salad was a lot of things so I shared it with my friend) and fresh/drinks was awesome! But when my friend was going to wash her hands she saw all “dirtiness” in the kitchen. She said it was quite disgusting there :(

Great coffee and amazing sandwiches

Gorgeous independent coffee shop. Breakfast was delicious

Full English breakfast was really good & would have warranted 5 stars. Unfortunately, this cafe has no menus & the staff don't take your order - it's done via downloading a QR code. Staff pass back & forth but no-one will take your order. Dismal practice.

Location is very central and convenient but cant say the same about food. Cold breakfast with very cheap basic ingredients . Very average food, coffee is good though.

Called here to pick up a cup of tea on the way to the theatre, the staff were friendly and quickly filled my keep cup. I walked off but quickly realised the water used was no where near boiling. The tea was scummy and temperature was immediately drinkable. I didn't have the time to go back

sehr voll an einem samstag nachmittag und recht eng. man kann über einen qr code vom tisch aus bestellen, was dann wiederum sehr praktisch ist

Nice breakfast sandwiches, which service

Undoubtedly the best coffee I have had in Oxford! Loved their cakes and hot chocolate as well. Good portions, and cosy atmosphere. Totally recommend! :)

cosy vibe, great vegan sandwiches and easy to order at the table

The group of women should learn to smile once In their life rude terrible food how is there 4 people in the back and not single one can cook a hash brown without it being cold or burnt? Terrible avoid go to tiktok cafe if u want good breakfast

My God!! The absolutely best coffee I have had in Oxford! I’ve also had an apple flap jack which was quite decent. They have lots of desserts, sandwiches and crisps

Delicious hot chocolate..hit the spot!

Do recommend! Delicious traditional full english breakfast and scones. Portions are solid, the atmosphere is cosy. Definitely worth visiting.

If you’re looking for a dog-friendly spot in Oxford where you can enjoy some tasty food and drink while admiring local art, then look no further than The Art Café! This welcoming and comfortable café is located in the city Centre, and it’s a great place to visit with your four-legged friend. When I visited The Art Café with my dog, Oak, we were seated in the outside seating area which is dog-friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and laid-back, with plenty of space for Oak to stretch out and enjoy the sunshine. The Art Café is so named because it features a range of local artists’ work on the walls inside the café. You’ll find a variety of styles and mediums on display, from paintings to photographs. All the art is available for purchase, so it’s a great opportunity to take home a unique piece of Oxford for yourself or as a gift. The food at The Art Café is definitely worth a mention too. The menu offers a range of sandwiches, salads, and hot meals, all made with fresh and locally sourced ingredients. I tried a raisin croissant, which was delicious, and chai latte which had an arty pattern on it. 87x Oak enjoyed the attention from the other customers, one of whom had a chicken panni, which Oak wanted to share. So it was a good talking point 🙂

Seems a nice little spot and quite popular and based over 3 floors. Brunch and coffee were good

Lovely cafe in the heart of Oxford. The food smells delicious. We had the crepe and two mochas: gingerbread and caramel. Lovely outdoor seating where you can people watch to your heart's content. Nice stop over if you are having a day out in Oxford. Lovely people working on a Monday morning.

Absolutely lovely! Service is very fast even during busy hours. Food and drinks are delicious! Worth every penny!
