Moved to Bicester 3 months ahah and this is my favourite coffee shop! I always come in for a Vanilla Iced Latte, but just found out they stop serving iced drinks over winter! Please serve them all year round, most coffee shops do now! Service is always amazing and the staff are super friendly.

My absolute favourite coffee shop! This is place is the best, the staff are so kind and talkative and love when you bring dogs! The cakes are locally baked by locals, and the coffees and drinks are freshly made, the food is also so tasty. This is my absolute favourite coffee shop ever!!!! I love it here and genuinely couldn't recommend it more! If your looking for a cake and coffee this is the place to go.

As you might imagine, such a community place is great for babies too, I felt very welcomed when I went with my little baby. I can't recommend this place enough...you must go!! **Update, been again amd still brilliant! Pumpkin cake was delicious (almost too good as by the time I'd got my camera out we'd eaten most of it.

Great cake, coffee and staff are amazing. I give my poor rating on the fact it is cash only. My elderly mother wants to go in but she doesn't have a bank card only a basic atm one to get cash out. It is unfair the elderly are usually the ones that this silly no cash thing affects. I also would like a choice as sometimes low on funds in my account and want to use cash, all customers should have the choice

Probably the best coffee shop in Bicester, if not Oxfordshire. We are frequently going to FLTR because of its quality. I've had coffee in pretty much every cafe in Bicester and Oxford and I can say, by miles, FLTR tops them all.

Decided to check out FLTR coffee, had quite the wait for the coffee, maybe just less than 20 minutes, it also took 25 minutes for the panini’s which were actually toasted sandwiches. The coffee I had was ok, quite milky, nothing special in my opinion.

Exceptional coffee. Best in Bicester if not Oxfordshire. Bicester really needs more coffee shops like FLTR. Blows all competition out of the water. Living in Melbourne Australia for the past 11 years I would regard FLTR as high as a Australian superior coffee shop for quality of the roast. UK seems behind regards to quality coffee shops. Bicester really needs another FLTR cafe. I do not rate any other coffee shop in Bicester. The toasties are nice and tasty also!

They are well set up for the current COVID-19 situation with screens at the tills, plenty of hand sanitiser and a very clean environment. We sat outside as they currently not doing seating inside.

A Disheartening Departure from Excellence I visited this Deli with high expectations, having previously experienced its beautiful atmosphere, delectable food, and superb service. Unfortunately, my second visit left me utterly disappointed. The food fell far short of the excellence we enjoyed last time, and the service, to put it mildly, was exceptionally unfriendly. Regrettably, I found myself unable to voice my concerns during the meal, as I was with friends whom I respected too much to disrupt our gathering. It's disheartening to witness such a decline in quality, and I must admit that, despite my initial positive experiences, I won't be returning to this establishment. PS: Unfortunately, I do not have any picture of my second visit (

From the outside, the Swan Inn might appear to be a simple village pub, but step inside, and you’re in for an extraordinary experience. Upon entering, we were immediately impressed by the open view of the professional kitchen, where chefs could be seen meticulously preparing dishes. It was clear right away that this was not just another gastro pub. We were warmly welcomed and seated, and our waiter, Joe, guided us through the menu with care and clarity. His thoughtful explanations made choosing our dishes an enjoyable experience. Before our starters arrived, we were treated to freshly baked bread served with two types of butter: honey and malt. The combination was sensational and set the tone for what was to come. For starters, I had the venison, which was incredibly tender – it melted with a single fork stroke. The flavours were perfectly balanced, allowing the venison to truly shine. A delightful surprise was the inclusion of two mini onion rings, lightly battered and utterly delicious. My wife opted for the burrata, complemented by a delicate candied orange peel. It was a brilliant pairing, and we’ve already decided to replicate it at home. For mains, I had the rib-eye steak, cooked to a flawless medium-rare. The quality was outstanding – a well-hung steak that true steak lovers will immediately recognize as exceptional. My wife chose the Thai curry, which was a masterclass in balance. Unlike many other curries, this one wasn’t overwhelmed by cream; instead, the fresh, fragrant ingredients took centre stage. If The Swan Inn were located in a more densely populated area, I have no doubt it would be booked out weeks in advance. It’s a hidden gem that delivers in every way. We loved every second and will absolutely be returning. Five stars, without a doubt.
