I had a coconut Custard bun which was nice and spongy with a really nice filling. The matcha latte was yummy too. I would come back here again if I'm in the area.

I went in because I had some time before the coach back to London (which is right in front of it) and people kept coming and going so it's obviously popular. I can't give it more than three stars though and I'll explain why and hopefully they will see this. First of all I only got a banh mi, but they had a lot of stuff on the menu, so my review is based only on their char su banh mi. It was fine, I wouldn't tell anyone not to get it, but there were issues. It certainly is not as good a banh mi as Keu in London. To start with the bread was not warm and crunchy like it is at Keu or in Vietnam. It was a sort of bog standard baguette. The filling was good. The veggies and the meat were very tasty. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough of them, especially meat. Again, I only compare it to the many banh mi's I've had in the last couple of years. In closing, it is a perfectly fine banh mi but it wouldn't win any awards. You need to pack that baguette guys, most banh mi's I've ever eaten have the ingredients falling out of the bread. Also you need to up your bread game, that baguette needs to be warm and seriously crunchy if you want it to be authentic.

Delicious freshly baked goods! Amazing vegan options too! Banh mi with tofu satay was a highlight, but the sticky rice parcels and the red Bean fluffy bun was the best I've ever tried! So gooood. Will be back next time in Oxford

My sis bought me some egg tarts... 5 in fact, lovely, fulsome, and great taste. A little expensive compared to Chinatown at 2.60 per tart. However, would defo buy again, if going to Oxford.

Super cute cafe and the staff were really friendly! I got the vegan banh mi, the sweet red bean cake, and an espresso. All was super tasty, my only recommendation is to get better baguette for the banh mi as it wasn’t super crispy and tasted a little bit like a Tesco baguette. x

Been wanting to come here from out of town for about a year and finally made it. The food did not disappoint. We got a bit of everything savoury that we could. The steam buns are huge, smaller bits are rich in flavour and still fill you up, and the sweet pastries are just right, not too sweet. I will make a detour when driving anywhere near Oxford to eat at Rachel's again.

A lovely cafe with a lot of different options and incredibly lovely bamm mi!! The staff was lovely and recommended an item and helped us choose which was lovely! The lotus cake was a bit dry but it was nice as well. The only reason not being a 5 star was that there was no inside seating available and also there were some staff who were constantly staring us from above? Which made us feel a bit awkward and also the Bam mi needed a bit better packaging since by the time I opened it it was quite soaking the packaging. Will be back for steamed buns!

A 3-star review with the caveat this is only on grading the coffee, which was completely average. The pastries and snacks looked legit and are likely wonderful and authentic, albeit pricey (4 GBp for mini versions). No room for sitting but very friendly staff.

This is a great little cafe, and I am so happy that it has emerged from lockdown still in business. For years it has been my favourite place for a slightly elevated East Oxford lunch, a cut above the competition in terms of variety and tastiness. The banh mi sandwiches are really nice, with a good choice of fillings - I like the satay chicken with sriracha. The pastries/dim sum things are good too - the pork buns are best, and the moon cakes are also good. The coffee is also amazing, as good or better than most of the speciality coffee places around. A flat white and a few little butter cookies make for a perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

He estado aquí unas 5 veces, supongo que la mejor descripción es una cafetería. Es un poco indescriptible cuando entras, hay algunas mesas y un mostrador detrás de los cuales hay una variedad de pasteles, bollos al vapor, paquetes de arroz, y un menú para sándwiches (que no he probado pero escucho que son bueno) . El lugar tiene horarios de apertura impares que parecen cerrar alrededor de las 4 pm, pero es un excelente lugar para tomar un almuerzo rápido o un refrigerio antes de tomar un autobús en la calle Clements. Por el bien: - Los bollos al vapor son increíbles! He probado los bollos de cerdo Char Siu, el pollo y la verdura. Todos los ingredientes para el relleno tienen un sabor fresco, y tienen una gran textura. Al cortar, se puede ver todo claramente: ¡los rellenos no se han convertido en papilla, lo que es genial! Los bollos son pillowy y delicioso. - Los paquetes de arroz son muy sabrosos y tienen una cantidad generosa de carne o verduras en el interior. - Los pasteles. . . La natilla de coco una vez es deliciosa y sutil. Pasta escamosa y crujiente rellena con natillas de coco cremosas y ligeramente cálidas. La alubia roja es casi más sabrosa que la dulce, pero igualmente deliciosa, y una vez comí una de ajo, que era dulce y, aunque me costó un poco acostumbrarme, finalmente fue deliciosa. Este lugar es tranquilo, el personal es amable y tiene una decoración sencilla. Si bien no parece nada especial, es una de esas pequeñas gemas que no se disculpa por ser simplemente lo que es: comida deliciosa todos los días.

Very disappointing, stopped to grab something quick and saw they had vegan options. Ordered two tofu Bahn Mi Baguettes to eat in, £12 for two very small under-filled rolls. Found one ultra thin slice of cucumber, and a tiny sprinkling of grated carrot and Daikon radish, struggled to find the tofu as well. I have had bahn mi overseas and in the UK, which were full of filling, crunchy and fresh. Yes service was friendly but they should be embarrassed serving this up at these prices. We were visiting Oxford for the day, and this left a very bad taste with us. One to avoid.

I love this place... whenever I’m in the area I go here, why? Because in my opinion they serve the best coffee in Oxford. The croissants are always super fresh too, some interesting other items on the menu, which I’ve tried a few of but yet to explore more. On top of all that, the owner Kin is a super nice guy and always shows a genuine interest in who you are, what you’re up to and how you like your coffee.

Been visiting Rachel's for nearly 4 years...so worth the journey and we save up for this special occasion - much better waiting than going for nearby places with dishes that aren't up to scratch and charge twice as much. You can really tell the skill and care put into the food - from the cookies to the paos and egg tarts and roast pork pastries...we can live here 😋😋😋. For special festivals they go out of their way to make Bachang / sticky rice parcels for Dragonboat Festival. Definitely making note for next year's dates!

Hemos visitado Inglaterra varias veces, pero nunca un domingo. Me ha decepcionado mucho perderme sus famosos asados dominicales. Esta temporada, nos encontramos en Costswolds durante un domingo y me entusiasmó participar en esta tradición dominical. Después de unas cuantas búsquedas en internet, me topé con un artículo a favor de Chester Arms. Se jactaba de una larga fila alrededor de la manzana. Hicimos una reserva con meses de antelación. Nos encontramos en medio de un barrio sin pretensiones. El restaurante era pintoresco y lleno de lugareños. Dicho esto, lo mejor que puedo decir sobre el restaurante es la conveniencia local. Los aperitivos son inspirados en Oriente Medio. No encontrarás pudín de Yorkshire ni salsas ni carne tierna. La carne es sabrosa pero difícil de masticar y la carne de res es su única opción. Este no es un tipo de lugar al que quieres ir para tu asado dominical, pero este puede ser el lugar al que vas si no quieres conducir más allá de tu calle.
