Been earing there few times now and it's probably the best English Breakfast around. Atmosphere is excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. Go and try if you're around (and hungry!).

Stopped in for late breakfast. Scrambled eggs were perfect — an easy dish to make poorly, especially when cooking in large amounts.

Very nice service. Our friends wanted to sit nearby the window to take pictures and selfie, the staff was so friendly to help us get the best views. We think the coffee has reasonable prices and good quality.👍 Besides, the staff can even speak some Chinese 🤣 that’s beyond my expectations!!!

Excellent Turkish coffee with Turkish delight. The place is always bustling, but we were able to get a table within two minutes of arriving. Beautiful views from the windows. It was nice and warm inside. Super helpful staff . Be ready to tell them how sweet you would like your Turkish coffee because they prepare it in the back. We asked for just a little sweet and it was perfect. Thank goodness they also brought us some water

It’s the oldest running coffee shop in Europe , established in 1652. The ambience is quite old school and located closed to the centre. The staff is courteous and the vibe laid back. Their Turkish coffee (served with bite sized lokum) is quite good. The honeycomb cheesecake is also quite good. The Bailey’s latte is also a must try.

Im traveling on a budget, which means I eat from Tesco on a park bench most of the time. I need to write a few pages in my notebook and decided to treat myself to a real restaurant today. I sat down at 18:30ish, not knowing it closed at 19:00. I ordered a sandwich and let it cool while I wrote and then watched as everyone at the cafe was being shooed out at 19:00. I scarfed down my sandwich and left. It's a real pity as if I'm paying 4× more for a meal in a restaurant I expect to sit for at least an hour. My feet hurt, and I was hoping to relax. The waiters were nice. The sandwich was normal. They should close the kitchen an hour before closing or at least warn customers coming in that they're closing soon.

Extremely overpriced! Feel like I’ve been scammed. I was looking for a place to get breakfast and saw they had pain au chocolats sitting on top of the counter. There was no price but I assumed that it couldn’t cost more than £1.50, maybe £2 at a stretch for a pain au chocolat. It was delicious but once I’d finished I checked my banking app and saw it cost £3.55! It wasn’t even a big pain au chocolat, and not very filling so I could’ve done with having more to eat but after spending that much I couldn’t justify paying for any more breakfast. It feels like they have deliberately chosen not to display a price for the pastries as they surely know no one would buy them if they knew how much they were. You could get a cheaper one in Paris! And they must know that most people would reasonably just assume they can’t be more than £2 and not ask the price. I honestly feel like I’ve been scammed. The only positive is that I’ve learned to never buy something without checking the price!

The establishment dates from the 17th century, which is impressive, but on tasting the coffee, I suspect that the water was also from around that time. Seriously undrinkable Americano, and I'm sorry, but it's not that difficult to get it minimally right. The staff were pleasant enough, but I felt ill for the rest of the day - couldn't get rid of the taste. Avoid at all costs. There are plenty of much better places.

Abysmal. Overpriced. Warm cans of drink served with hot to the touch glasses. Food was inedible and no one could tell if they had the right food as it all tasted of vile mayonnaise. One person even had the order pad paper with the order on stuck to the bottom of their wrap and ended up with the ink and print of said paper on their wrap. Service was some of the poorest we have ever known. No one cared when things were pointed out. £50+ for four sandwiches and four cans of drink. Would avoid at all costs

Good ambience (claims to be the oldest coffee house in continuous operation in UK - since mid 17th Century) Service was good. Gents toilet had no towels or hand-drier (have never encounted that anywhere else!), and one needed a pass code to access them.

we were here twice. The service is very friendly and competent. Since we have certain food intolerances, we sought advice and the nice lady who served us went to the kitchen to ask whether the product was really dairy-free. The food was very good twice and the price-performance ratio is excellent. What's exciting is that certain products have a Turkish touch, probably because of the operator. Very good, again at any time.

The cafe itself is not one I would pick, as the decor is rather dated, but we decided to give it a go. The cake I had was delicious, the staff was very helpful and it was overall a lovely break but two cakes and two teas come up to £19, which is overpriced no matter how you look at it.

Don't bother. Scones were bought-in mass factory-produced ones heated up in the microwave, so were scalding hot. Two scones and not enough cream for half a scone let alone 2 whole ones! Asked for more cream and waitress said I'd have to pay more. When the extra cream came, it was twice the amount I'd received the first time! Bearing mind it was £12 just for the cream tea, it wasn't value for money. When we left they even charged us for the wrong table.

Nice place to visit history wise. In the food and drink sense - soup of the day was leek, although I could have mistaken it for leek flavoured water. The coffee I had was flat white, a great blob of foam on the top, milk too hot to drink and inadequate proposition of frothed milk. Too much heating, not enough air pulled in and beaten smooth. Pricing seems to play off the history element far too much, and doesn't reflect the quality of the food or service

Has to be one of the worst breakfast I have ever had. I had avocado on toast with scrambled egg. The toast had margarine on it I hate margarine so couldn’t eat my toast the avocado was hard, and the eggs I don’t know how they make scrambled eggs, but it was like nothing I’ve tasted before. They were awful. My husband had an omelette with mushroom, the mushroom were tinned mushroom, surely it isn’t too much to ask for fresh produces. The omelette was served on a bed of chips. The only nice thing was the fresh juice. Would I go back definitely not.

Claims to be the oldest coffee house in Britain, yet this means little as it is nothing special in terms of food, decor, or service. Bog standard coffee in boring cups with a cheap & tacky interior and bad music. Prices are standard for central Oxford, but you can do much better nearby.

We used to come here every time we came to Oxford - and my friend, who lives near Oxford, came often without me. But we went in to have lunch and both doors were open. We were cold and asked if they could shut the door. No, they need fresh air. We said can we go into the other room? The answer was the door there is open, too, and they couldn't close it because they need fresh air. I have never seen the place so empty before. Whoever took it over is ruining it. We won't be back.

came as a group of 8 touring Oxford for the first time. 4 of us bought coffee and cakes, the others did not buy as they still had drinks from previous shop - we were touring cafes and food spots all day. It was obvious we were together as a group and waitress came and told us off for having another shop’s drinks with us/ We were sitting outside not even inside their shop. I wouldn’t mind if the waitress was nicer but she literally shouted at us instead of saying “sorry guys but we don’t allow outside drinks”

I accidentally walked into this shop, which was founded in 1654 and is the oldest coffee shop in Europe. Warm and simple, English breakfast tea with milk, the taste of Hong Kong-style milk tea, silky and mellow, classic full English breakfast, large portion, sweet soybeans, bacon tastes different from that in the United States, it seems to taste like Rugao jerky . At the corner, you can see historical buildings and hurried passers-by, and your thoughts switch between the past and the present, and you can enjoy it slowly. Satisfying brunch!

This coffee house is at High street, within walkable distance from Carfax tower. On its website..it was shown that it is the "Oldest established coffee house in Europe". Outside the cafe, it was written 1654 on its shade canopy. So I assumed it has been there for more than 350 years! It is a very cosy coffee house. We were here for afternoon tea. We tried the legendary Turkish coffee..It was very bitter, certainly not my cup of tea(coffee)! The ciabatta panini was good. They also serve big breakfast, some cakes and pastries. Service was good and attentive.

There was a menu that didn't appear even an hour after ordering, so I checked with the server and he asked me if I wanted to eat because they hadn't even started cooking, which was ridiculous. My child said he didn't want to eat because it was too late, so I canceled the meal and left. The food was decent, but the service was disorganized and unfriendly. I visited because it was said to be the oldest coffee house in Europe, but I don't think I'll ever go there again haha.

I am a regular customer at the Headley Tea Room and have been coming for over a year. In that time, the cafe has become a wonderful place - I think because of the amazing work of the barista. It is very clean and tidy; the service is extremely quick and efficient; the barista is extremely friendly and welcoming, and she creates a positive vibe that makes you want to keep coming back. 5 stars!

The Costa coffee establishment is good in itself with its range of coffees and food however in this particular one they do tend to change staff extremely often and therefore the staff are new and it takes them some time to learn how to make a good coffee. As of right now they have a good morning team that has been there a few weeks hopefully they stay because there coffees do improve daily.
