Cafe Coco in Oxford

Lovely cafe, friendly staff and great location!

Perfect lunch for a birthday celebration for a friend. Being a big group, we were a lot to handle, but handled well we were. Rayya was patient and friendly alongside the whole team, Danny, Tiago and Grace. No complaints, will happily celebrate there again.

Great service from Danny, Tiago, Grace and Rayya; they made the day a blast. X

We had a lovely birthday meal and the staff were very attentive without being overbearing. Brillaint food and brilliant cocktails. Special thank you to the waiting staff Danny, Tiago, Grace and Rayya especially who dealt very well with indecisive ordering on our part. Will come again.

Tuve una gran noche con mi esposa. Deliciosa hamburguesa con papas fritas para mí y un filete masivo para mi esposa. Excelente comida y un servicio muy amable. Es nuestra 5a vez aquí y el servicio siempre es súper amable. Rafa hace el mejor matcha latte de la ciudad y Bianca fue muy eficiente con nuestros pedidos. Tuvimos una noche encantadora en un entorno agradable. Perfecto sábado por la noche!

We come to Café Coco in Oxford weekly, and it never disappoints! The brunch is always amazing – honestly, it's the best in Oxford. The decor is beautiful, and it’s such a cozy place to spend time with my toddler. The food is always top-quality, and I love how friendly and smiley the staff are. They really make us feel at home. Even the toilet smells great, which is a nice bonus! We always look forward to our weekly visits. Highly recommend!

Venimos a Café Coco en Oxford semanalmente, y nunca decepciona! El brunch siempre es increíble - honestamente, es el mejor de Oxford. La decoración es preciosa, y es un lugar tan acogedor para pasar tiempo con mi hijo. La comida siempre es de primera calidad, y me encanta lo amable y sonriente que es el personal. Nos hacen sentir como en casa. Incluso el inodoro huele muy bien, que es una buena ventaja! Siempre esperamos nuestras visitas semanales. Muy recomendable!

Went for the secret Portuguese menu. Had the peanya steak, rice and beans. It was really good service good

This place is fantastic. We ate off the carfax menu, and the dishes were as amazing as we remembered.

Went there twice already for brunch on weekends and really loved the ambiance with great staff and service. Food is also really tasty and I would recommend trying their fresh juices!!

I recently discovered this delightful new café in Oxford city centre, and it’s quickly become my go-to spot for a quick bite or a relaxing drink. The selection of fresh baguettes, paninis, and salads is fantastic—perfect for both a satisfying lunch or a light snack. Everything is made with high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care that goes into every dish.

Good food. Terrible service, slow staff with no knowledge of the menu. Most of the items on the menu are not available in the store. The place is a bit dirty and the price is high for the food you get!

Great staff, great meeting place.

Muy mala experiencia. Elegí pizza del menú, pero luego informó que no había pizza porque los hornos estaban fuera de acción - debería habernos dicho primero. La pasta llegó ya cubierta con una gruesa capa de parmesano, lo que no es bueno para el cliente al que no le gustó el queso. Platos helados fríos (¿hornos otra vez?). Servicio muy, muy lento - platos no despejados durante siglos, pidió azúcar para el café que nunca llegó, etc. Vino de la casa no es agradable. En el baño, el jabón líquido estaba en el recipiente etiquetado como loción de manos, y viceversa. Todo el montaje es un desastre. Clinton Pugh culpa a la caída del número de clientes en el tráfico de Oxford: debería examinar más de cerca la muy mala comida y los bajos estándares de Café Coco. ¡Evita!

great food, and excellent service. I'll be back soon. Amazing passion fruit caipirinha!

We had an Old Fashioned and a Bloody Mary and they were absolutely made with love and attention to details, best one I had in some time. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy a good cocktail. We loved the fact that the place is a bit retro but simple. The staff were kind and fast and you can talk without loud music in your ears. Lovely spot for a drink and a nibble.

Gran servicio, fuimos por un bocado rápido y tuvimos la pizza mediterránea, y una caipirinha fue un gran placer, el servicio es amable, profesional y relajado. Sin duda recomiendo.

I love Coco! Best place in Oxford.

Even better with the new owners.

Visitamos Café Coco para almorzar un domingo. El lugar ha cambiado de propietario y funciona sin problemas. El menú es increíble con una amplia gama de opciones, desde deliciosos platos de pasta ( tuve linguini con gambas 10 / 10 ) hasta sabrosos platos especiales brasileños como picanha, arroz y judías (también un 10 ! ) . Visitamos con nuestro bebé y todo el personal era muy amable y servicial... gran ambiente familiar! Si usted es de Oxford o visitado, sin duda darle una oportunidad!

El Coco recién reabierto es una joya absoluta! Sirven desayunos, almuerzos y cenas, pero la verdadera estrella para mí es su menú especial. Tienen el mejor filete de picanha de la ciudad, ¡honestamente, tal vez incluso en toda Inglaterra! Mi esposo y yo nos esforzamos por venir todos los sábados a disfrutar de este increíble regalo. Rafa prepara el matcha latte más increíble, y todo el equipo es tan amable y acogedor — se siente como ponerse al día con viejos amigos cada vez que visitamos. ¡No podemos esperar a volver una y otra vez!

Uma comida apetitosa e um excelente ambiente, almocei escutando as musicas do meu agrado, super recomendo!👏👏👏👏👏

The food was very tasty, I will definitely come back!

Cafe Coco has become my new favorite spot! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. But the absolute best part? Their calzone. It was perfectly baked with a crispy crust on the outside and filled with the most delicious, cheesy goodness on the inside. You can really taste the quality of the fresh ingredients, and the portion size was perfect for a satisfying meal. If you're looking for a great place to eat, I can’t recommend Cafe Coco enough. I’m already looking forward to going back to try more from their menu. Five stars for sure!

Great food and the service was amazing

Amazing food! Friendly staff!! Suco a cozy charming place! Highly recommend!!! Definitely a must visit when visiting the “Sunny side of Oxford”!!

Been to coco’s many times and loved it. However it was a significantly poorer experience last time I visited, unfortunately. Ordered two steak baguettes from the new menu which took nearly and hour to come out, and the quality of the food was really subpar. Couldn’t taste the chimichurri, bread was of really poor quality (falling apart) and the steak chewy with no seasoning or flavour. Wait staff seemed unbothered and never checked on our table, had to go to the bar twice to ask for some salt, and then a further two times to ask for the bill and again to pay. Really slow service and staff didn’t seem to care when we asked to remove service charge and no apologies given. I understand that it did get busier in the restaurant but was quiet when we ordered and nearly an hour’s wait for two sandwiches is a bit ridiculous and tables which ordered after us got served before us. This place has really gone downhill, used to be our favourite brunch spot! Disappointed.

Great selection of wine, excellent quality food and great service. Very reasonably priced - definitely will be back!!

Always been beautiful this place

Amazing brunch experience, Turkish eggs & French Toast were delicious 🤤. Really nice atmosphere and perfect service? We can’t wait to be back.

VERY underwhelming. Waiters picking his teeth behind the bar. One member of staff said meat was Halal, the other one said it wasn’t, then another one said that only the merguez was so we ordered a dish with that in, it was forgotten. (It happens- but plonking two sausages down afterwards without apologising was hardly great service). We wanted to like it, but the food and service were both not up to scratch.

Great atmosphere, could do with redecorating

It’s always nice coming here for there delicious breakfasts and nice cappuccino

Very poor service, very average quality food, charge extra for things it should be included, been asked to pay the optional staff charge, very bad experience, bad hygiene, everything feels sticky, never go there again

Was nice enjoy the environment nice drink

Good service! Good food! Wonderful coquettes! I loved everything and I highly recommend it!

Excellent food , and service in the heart of Oxfordshire

Words are not enough to express how good the place is, perfect location, excellent staff, exceptional food and drinks, I will come back again!

Very good and delicious food. I will definitely come back again 😍❤️

Coffee was good. Food was good. They were a little short staffed so very long waits and difficulty getting served. Staff were doing their utmost though and managing to get everyone fed.

Excellent menu, tasty food and great service. Loved Cafe Coco when I was at uni and still love it now!

The best English breakfast I ever had!

Super, independent bistro with excellent atmosphere, menu and brilliant wine list!

Honestly don’t have enough positive words to say about this place. Located in a really nice area at the top of cowley road with outside and inside seating, and beautiful in the sun. The food is 10/10, especially the pizzas, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Shout out to Tabby and Ollie for their customer service and friendly attitude. Definitely a place to visit and have breakfast, lunch or supper when in Oxford area.

Atmosphere in the patio area was awful, needs more cars driving through it.

We only stopped off for a coffee but the staff were very friendly and polite. Would definitely return and maybe next time stop for more than a coffee. Would recommend.

Great place for a late breakfast - very creative options Good pizzas . Friendly service. Wheelchair accessible . Reasonable prices

Great choice for a coffee and bit of breakfast. Good bustling feel to the place.

Such a lovely place with such happy people .

They really are very good. Good food is affordable. The location is great and the service is excellent. I would recommend!

Lovely solo dinner @ coco tonite ❤️ listen to my music and enjoying the sweet waiting staff and delicious food x😍 come here it s a great experience 🤩

Best vegan burger I have ever had in my life, with a delicious side and houmous. Friendly atmosphere and warm service with a smile.

I’ve been coming to Coco’s (and their other places) since I’ve been visiting Oxford for 15+ years and cannot recommend enough. The staff are also so friendly, the food is brilliant (in particular the spinach calzone with chili oil), good selection of wines and a funky decor. Highly recommend… great place to while away a few hours.

Today I visited a new place in Oxford! Just look at this perfect side (pizza)🫶 The staff is on the level! the location is convenient! thank you 🙏🏻

the best place to eat with friends in Oxford

Lovely as always, friendly staff, great coffee. My omelette was amazing and my hubby had shashuka which he thoroughly enjoyed. All lovely. Thankyou :-)

Dined on a Saturday afternoon with 4 friends, they had sold out of Prosecco (on a Saturday!?) and also didn't have some of the advertised desserts.

Warm and friendly staff, I will be back.

Lovely little cafe! Would highly recommend the ham and tomato calzone, it was delicious! Lovely staff too :)

Great atmosphere and decoration. The food was also good, got a full English breakfast and it was amazing.

Pub where you can watch live shows on the first floor. Very nice location.

What a real shame. Coco’s used to be one of our favourites we visited and enjoyed it often before it started being closed most of the time but lunch on Sunday was simply awful. We had a friend staying who also remembered Coco’s fondly so went there, mistake! It was pretty quiet which should have told us to keep away but we sat down and ordered. Three very different dishes, one vegetarian, one salad, one steak. Of the three the only one that got a thumbs up was the salad, tasty and fresh was the verdict. The vegetarian mezze was pronounced just bizarre, great lumps of vegetables chopped in huge chunks partnered by ‘koftas’ that seemed to be made of crumbly breadcrumbs and a huge pile of what was supposed to be garlic bread but barely had any flavour. The steak was best forgotten, a 3mm thin slice of tough, overcooked, meat is not a rib eye and should not be sold as such, thank god for chips! The owner makes a lot of noise about the damage Oxford councils awful traffic measures are doing to his business but frankly, if this is the best they can do, then bring on closure. It’s possible to eat really well and really badly in oxford and Coco’s has always been one of the more reliable places, no more sadly, we won’t return.

Had the shakshuka early on a Sunday morning. Good service and food was a 4/5.

Far too expensive for what you get. We went for the English breakfast, the 2 bacon rashes were the size of a coin & no meet, just all fat, literally, one egg, one handful of half little potatoes, one sausage ..over £12,00...nope, we were not expecting that for that money. The staff us young & quite fool but not attentive, not bringing what asked & when advised in regards, bringing the stuff not received & then charging extra for it! The place is quite nice & situated in a good spit, however scrapped from my list I am afraid. A real shame as the potential is all there

Ordered a full English breakfast and it turned up without bacon. When I questioned it I was told they had "run out of bacon". It might have been worth mentioning that when I ordered as bacon is quite integral to an English breakfast. I would have had something else if I'd known. Later, when asked how everything was and I mentioned the bacon again I was asked "were you not told?" by the girl who took the order (and had not mentioned the bacon would be missing)! Apparently I should have received an extra sausage but I also did not get this. I was quite surprised that service charge was added to the bill after this. Felt it would be awkward to ask to have it taken off so paid anyway, however have this 1 star review instead!

We found this place by accident when we were hungry and stuck in traffic. It looked understated from outside and quiet. It was only 6pm but the place was packed and had great music and a great atmosphere. Very New York Soho vibe-y. Our pizzas were fantastic.

Turned up and found a table, after 40minutes we still hadn't had menus, then when we finally did, it was another half hour for our order to be taken. When the food finally arrived the breakfasts were all stone cold.

Love Coco! Beautiful place with a beautiful atmosphere. Florence Pugh says “tzatziki goes with everything” so I ordered the Greek Pizza which was absolutely delicious. Her dad (the owner), was there working alongside the staff and was so attentive and friendly. I’m so sad they’ll be closing down soon. Please visit while you still can!!

Great place to visit anytime.

Quite simply our favourite cafe/wine bar of all time. Delicious food-the kedgeree is outstanding- great coffee, and consistently lovely staff over the twenty six years that we have loved this place. A trip to Oxford wouldn't be worth the journey without Cafe Coco.

Top class English breakfast, especially the Oxford sausage. Staff extremely good. Thanks for a great start to our day.

Terrible service; waitresses were slow and inattentive and overcharged us. Food was poor. The English breakfast was covered in a herby sauce which was disgusting but no one cared to check back on the the food was so we had no opportunity to tell the staff. Only saving grace was the hot chocolate which was good. Won't be returning!

Had to come back because my first visit was so good x the food is amazing and nothing is too much for the manager or staff x another great meal x I travel from Shoreham with friends to eat here x definitely try this cafe x

lovely spot just of the cowley road . Great snacks and beer . well organised out door seating area . will be back.

Food was delicious, great menu, good service and love the decor 👍🏻

Service, coffee and food was excellent, thanks to our waitress Sophie - would highly recommend for brunch 👊 we’ll defo be back

Dissappointing breakfast here this weekend. Took over an hour for food to arrive with no warning or apology about the wait. Worst of all the food came before our drinks. We asked atleast 4 times for water whilst we were waiting which never ended up arriving. The food was lukewarm, average and expensive. One of our party has an allergy to fat, and stated 3 times she couldnt have butter on her toast, and after waiting an hour for our food both portions of toast she ordered came with butter on. Poorly managed, understaffed cafe with innatentive staff

Food was alright but cafe was clearly understaffed wth poor service.

We went for May Morn (May 1st) as we were told it's a big deal in Oxford. They opened at 6 am.🤪 I had the avocado toast and a latte and my husband had a full English and a cappuccino. The portions were very generous, so much so I couldn't finish mine. We thought the coffee was really lovely and the food was high quality and very tasty. The menu is varied without being overwhelming. Breakfast is served all day for those who wish. The wait staff were absolutely slammed, but still courteous and timely - Thanks,Sophie and Abi? The manager Nick,seems to have everything nicely under control and it was a very pleasant experience, in spite of the ungodly hour. We will definitely be back.

Great little cafe work delicious cafe and breakfast.

I really loved the vibe here. Easy-going crowd, chilled, with a great outdoor area that's reminiscent of being abroad... Staff are super polite. We had a light dinner and the superfood salad was delicious but too small a portion to be a meal hence the 4 stars..

Such a lovely place. The staff were super kind and polite. In my opinion the best place to grab a lunch or just a coffee.

Me and my partner stopped here after a visit to the botanical garden. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. Very pleased with the cafe overall and would highly recommend.

A little gem, excellent food, attentive service. Had a lovely Sunday brunch. Will be visiting soon.

Good breakfast sandwich. Interesting staff, not afraid to converse with visitors

Went to visit cafe coco after 5 years as it used to be my favorite place,unfortunately cannot say the same now. The staff was slow and lost, no knowledge of the menu. We waited for the fresh juice (which was basically just water) 15 min(wasnt busy at all), then the staff brought our drink to the other table. It took ages to take the order.When I asked if the superfood salad still comes with salmon, one waitress said yes then other waitress said no. I find it too expensive to pay 17,95 for a trout and 11£ for plain salad - too high difference. A waitress was collecting glasses with her hands and putting them under her armpits(what do we have trays for?) the burger was too basic, without flavor and little bit cold. For 14£ pounds you expect better quality than what McDonald or a Burger King offers you for much less. Garlic bread was hard.the only thing I enjoyed was the salad

We came in for some food and was told choose a free table. We then sat at our table for 15 minutes before I asked twice for our order to be taken. Drinks were delivered to multiple tables who came after us and even then we were only given water (we had actually ordered water and a bottle of wine). Someone said they were leaving because food was taking so long and we decided to leave after 30 minutes when all we had been served was water. I understand if you are short staffed but 1) explain the food wait and 2) a bottle of wine shouldn’t take that long to serve.

We went for drinks Bloody Mary and the first one was amazing but the second was not good… and the service was late.

The pizza was cold and really bland. The service was slow. We had glasses and plates piling up on the table which weren't taken away while one bar member sat on a stool. Perhaps the owner should look at their priorities and improved the business rather than hoisting huge, offensive politcal slogans around the building.

What an absolute vibe! Cafe Coco is one of my fav brunch spots in Oxford. No too spenny and really great food! They cater for a number of dietary requirements too! Deffo recommend if you’re wanting a sunny vibe for your brunch! Staff were also soooo nice and really went above and beyond for us!

Cafe Coco has been an Oxford jewel for over 25 years. You won't find a better place for a slice of Oxford in terms of atmosphere and feel. There's a varied menu of breakfast's, brunches, lunches and dinners. My favourite is the all day breakfast. I've eaten a few around Oxford in my time and Coco's is the best. Good quality, rustic and plentiful. Keep it up Coco - we need you in Oxford in more ways than one!!

Ok pizzas - they are small but not too pricey. Good cocktails. What lets this place down is the service which was at best slow. Despite this, the place has a lovely cafe/bar atmosphere.

Good food and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

Still excellent and still the best breakfast in Oxford!

Nice staffs, yummy vegetarian full day breakfast, I would say if the flat white can be hotter, it will be a perfect morning for me:)

Stopped for brunch. Tasty food, service a bit slow and coffee needed to be hotter but otherwise a good choice.

Food is quite good, delicious pasta and well toasted pizza. Helpful and friendly staff although food takes abit of time to come.

Treat their female waitresses with no respect
