Sofi de France in Oxford

This is a passable location for a quick snack. There was nothing special about this establishment; the food was not great, and the service was very slow. The staff members who were working were quite friendly, though. I would recommend this for the price, as it is a very lunch-friendly menu. However, I cannot recommend it based on the ratings, as it doesn't match my experience.

Absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and clean.

Lovely cafe in the covered market! One of the best toasted paninis I’ve ever had. Plenty of food and drink options, would highly recommend

Increíble comida fresca y deliciosa. Los cruasanes saben como en Francia y sus baguettes son tan frescas que son extra sabrosas. También nunca puedo superar lo mucho que todo el personal está lleno de sonrisas y energía. Brillante lugar brillante.

Staff was helpful and kind. Baklava was fantastic!

Good tuna sandwich in ciabatta bread. Recommended 8/10

My new favourite spot for lunch! From the moment I walked in the staff were extremely friendly and happy to help. This was my first visit here so I took a recommendation for lunch from one of the staff members (chicken tikka, mozzarella and sun dried tomato panini). This was a great choice, the panini was hot and full of flavour with stringy cheese as I took my first bite. Such a great spot tucked away in the covered market to have a bite to eat. If you haven't been, then go there! Keep up the great work Sofi De france!

Banging breakfast in the centre of Oxford for very reasonable price of £8.95 including a tea or coffee. Highly recommended.

Brilliant full cooked breakfast and coffee for only £8.95. Bargain in Oxford city centre. Staff really friendly.

We ordered a boiled potato with beans to eat at the tables in the market. It was delicious.

Best English Breakfast in Oxford. Always love going to this place in Covered Market.

Great place to eat just love there panini always eat there when i visit

The best paninis in Oxford by a million miles, and the staff are amazing!!! Five stars!!!

A cozy place with super friendly service and delicious paninis/sandwiches/Giabattas... just too many delicious things to mention. The croque monsieur is mmmmm. Price quality superb. Take away or enjoy it at a bistro table or inside.

We had a very enjoyable lunch. We had spinach and feta filo pie, ham and cheese croissants and a lamb samosa. All were excellent. Great selection of food and drink choices.

We had two full English breakfasts. Whether in quantity or quality, it met 100% of my expectations. I am delighted ! The value for money is very good!

Food was excellent service excellent couldn't fault it

I've been coming here on/off for about 30 years. Always having the same.. a panini with chicken, mozzarella and sundried tomato sauce. I've always loved it since the mid-90s but recently it hasn't been the same. The last couple of times it has just felt a bit dry.. not enough of the sun dried tomato sauce which is a real shame. The prices also seem to have gone up.. we had two tuna baguettes, two paninis and 4 cold drinks and it was £32. I appreciate everything has gone up but when it isn't quite as tasty as it was it's very difficult to justify.

Some good quick food to keep you going., I had a very nice Egg mayonnaise French roll with salad, At £3-60p good value. 👍

First time we’ve been here since about 12yrs ago, we had the Avocado, Salmon and Fried Egg (plus side of Salad with Olives, Onion and Cherry Tomato topped with Balsamic Vinegar), it was delish and plus you get a choice of tea or filter coffee (the latter we chose) for free with the breakfast and it cost us £17 for 2 persons! Definitely come here again, hopefully sooner than 12yrs!

Great place to go for breakfast, the full English was great value and came with a surprisingly good filter coffee. Orange juice was freshly squeezed and delicious.

Mi relleno de baguette es pollo de coronación sin mantequilla o ensalada con chutney de mango extra. NUNCA me han cobrado extra por la adición de chutney de mango pero aquí me cobraron £ 1 , lo que agregó casi un 20% extra a mi factura. ¿Me quitaron algo del precio por no tener la ensalada con él... por supuesto que no?

Excellent English breakfast at a reasonable price, and very friendly and accommodating staff.

Lots of choice which is great to see. Panini and baguettes are fresh. You can have whatever filling you want- a bit on the pricey side overall. fresh orange juice is nice!

Me and my boyfriend both came in to have drinks and a panini- custom made right in front of you. The service was fast and brilliant everyone was so lovely. The food completely hit the spot, even had a little olive stuck on top of the panini. Overall amazing, definitely one of the best places to eat in the covered market. Super fast and decent priced, would 1000% come here again!

Very good food. Happy helpful friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Next time I'm in Oxford I will definitely be back

The food was fine. Food came reasonably fast. The service was terrible. Everybody seemed angry and impatient. Not waiting for me to finish speaking to complete my order; seemed upset when I asked to change one item for another. Then forgot my tea, too, which wouldn't usually be a problem, but was just extra frustrating. In summary, the attitudes of most of the staff were extremely off putting despite the reasonably good food.

Very clean,very filling and very fast service.Strongly recommended

Nice staffs, good service, great portion of food, tried the half English breakfast, highly recommend this place!

Cute little cafe in the covered market. Food isn’t phenomenal, but it is fresh and tasty, and a pretty good price.

Amazing breakfast place in Oxford! Reasonable price and good food. Definitely worth for trying

Good breakfasts, free hot drink with full English. Lovely staff always cheerful! Usually busy can be chaotic but good coffee and tea. Remember to say Obligado! on leaving.

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. Great value, quick and easy service. Full of tourists which is nice. Would recommend if you don’t want to pay over the top. Up market greasy spoon. Can’t beat the hangover baguette or the jacket, beans and cheese

Unfortunately the food wasn't particularly hot, so let it down

Visited today, they were rushed off their feet but customer service was excellent! The food was great, the drinks were cold and the atmosphere was exactly like it would be in a busy, friendly eatery. I shall be visiting again!

Friendly service and great food for very reasonable prices. (Half English and Full English breakfast on the picture).

Abit hit and miss been going there for years sometimes get your order wrong if overly busy

Well cooked Full English. Not greasy. Would have preferred back bacon instead of streaky bacon. Affordable.

Good honest grub. It's nice that you can see your food being prepared in the kitchen. I liked the fresh orange juice

Delicious food great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend the full English breakfast

What a lovely little café buetiful breakfast. Situated in the indoor market. Good selections on the menu with a very nice pastry counter. Well worth a visit if you are in oxford.

Great cafe with salmon, avocado, and eggs on toast! Their freshly squeezed orange juice is also pretty good. Their student discounts are available only after breakfast hours.

Oh, what a kind and generous gesture, dear friend! To open your doors early for those weary and jetlagged students, coming from distant continents, is truly a blessing. And to serve them a breakfast that warms their hearts on a cold winter morning is a testament to your generosity and hospitality. May your kindness be rewarded tenfold, and may the warmth of your hospitality continue to spread like a fire in the coldest of winters and now spring.

se volete mangiare qualcosa di rapido che non sia il solito panino con hamburger, qui potete trovare le ottime patate ripiene, le samosa o le crepes. Siamo andati in giornate freddissime ed è uno dei pochissimi posti del mercato di Oxford dove puoi mangiare al chiuso (il mercato è coperto ma aperto, quindi freddo). Fanno anche zuppe del giorno. Personale cordiale. Pochi posti a sedere quindi è necessario essere un po' rapidi.

Only popped in for a quick coffee and a piece of baklava. The cafe was absolutely mobbed, so busy and all the food looked great.

Stopped in for a coffee with my daughter. (Who was not the happiest of people today!) Coffee and cake were very nice But the best part of experience were the staff who were so friendly and happy. They offered my daughter a bit of cucumber to occupy her and stop her screaming. Really lovely gesture and one that I feel was done out of true kindness. I will very happily return to Sofi de France!

Love the hot chocolate here - quite rich and creamy! And the vegetarian breakfast was amazing! The vegan sausage tasted great in it and would recommend for anyone wanting to try good filling breakfast within Covered market, Oxford.

I had the Halloumi twist breakfast but the halloumi seemed chewy and not fresh at all. My partner had veg breakfast but found it quite average, hashbrowns and veg sausages both could use some salt/flavour. Crepe machine was unfortunately broken else would have loved to try it. On the plus side, cakes on display looked yummy.

Lovely lunch, great staff in a cosy spot within the covered market. We'll worth a visit.

Great place for coffee and a snack. Excellent coffee. Great baguettes, good choice of fillings. I regularly stop by. Can get busy at peak times (Saturday lunch time, and mid-afternoon).

Overall tasty and decent, normal prices. Good for breakfast or snacks (sandwiches etc). Very accomodating staff.

Situated in the Covered Market. Full English, with toast and tea or coffee. Great value for money and very friendly staff.

Great coffee. A gem in the city. Samosa is superb

Absolutely gorgeous food, so yummy and such a good range of breakfast and lunch bits, amazing cakes too

Great choice of deli based food and pastries crepes and more…. Amazing coffee too. Friendly and efficient service with a good vibe. Highly recommend

£5 for old sour feta, guacamole & salad with free soil. I used to come here for exclusively egg mayo baguette. This is probably still a good safe choice. DO NOT order what the assistant recommends because that will be the ingredient that is on its way out at the end of the day.

Great full breakfast and at a very good price in the Centre of Oxford. In covered market,friendly staff, well worth a visit. John Adams (Oxford)

Just simply the kindest service I have ever witnessed! Food was so good and the kindness of the staff filled the caffe with such a movie-like warmth. Would recommend :))

I am obsessed with this place. I come here often and have seemed to befriended the staff. I bring friends here typically for a breakfast and brunch or to grab a coffee. The menu that they offer has a variety of breakfast, brunch, lunch or snack foods. They do a half English breakfast which I am sincerely grateful for as my stomach often cannot manage a full. There is freshly squeezed orange juice and good coffee as well as a good variety of pastries. The atmosphere is cosy in the covered market, there tends to be a lil music in the background but you can still have a nice intimate quiet chat. There is seating outside and around the shop at the back and front in case it is full. It is a well-run, clean and professional business that deals well with the people and does good by its food. Highly highly recommend.

Lovely place, have been coming here for years. Great varied selection, v helpful and friendly staff, lovely vibe and atmosphere. Highly recommend if you'd like a well-priced lunch in Oxford's historic Covered Market.

Very fast service, excellent food

Always very friendly Greek service and quick, great coffee and food reasonably priced.

Great salad, panini, pastry and iced drinks. So good we went twice in our 1 day in Oxford

This is one of my family fav spots for breakfast in Oxford. Delicious breakfast. We love their paninis and Vegetarian English breakfast. My fav is Tuna Panini 😉 space is quite cramped but still comfortable enough to fit my 6 family members. Chicken is halal too 👏🏼

Both my daughter and I stopped in here after doing a walking tour of Oxford. While we waited on our paninis to be toasted we both observed a few things that raised our eyebrows and not in a good way. While preparing the food the server proceeded to rub her nose, then touched her hair and even went on the handle money all with the same pair of gloves. This was a definite violation Food Health and Safety 101. May be it would be worth your while to retrain your staff on Health and Safety.

Many places to choose from for lunch etc. We found this place inside the covered market area. Good selection of baguettes, panini's and drinks. Only had one of the three soups from the board. Our baguettes were nice.

Service was pleasant but baguettes were a little stale, olive oil tasted old, fillings fairly uninspiring. Panini was well recieved though.

lovely family run business. mum and I love coming here for a light lunch before continuing shopping. Great range to choose from. the place is cute and quirky.

Mmmmm Tasty coffee and gorgeous cakes, what more do you need! Staff were very friendly and attentive. The baklava was to die for! We will be back...... thanks guys

Food was awesome. We ordered veggie Panini and the tomato basil soup. Service was friendly and quick and the taste was delicious. Would definitely recommend visiting this place if you are in Oxford and visiting the covered market for something good to eat

A very nice selection of cakes, and lovely and fresh too. Coffee good.

Located inside the covered market. An awesome full English breakfast in a lovely atmosphere surrounded by fresh baked goods and ingredients.

Excelent reception. There are some Brazilians working there and they are super friendly. The food is also good

Stopped off for a morning coffee and a bacon sandwich. Both great- plenty of bacon. Possibly the best value in the market

Great quality food and superb service for the price. We'll definitely be back!

Loved it! The best fried breakfast I've had in a long long time, freshly cooked to perfection, presented beautifully, and utterly delicious! 👌🏻 An amazing little café in the Covered Market; a bit out of the way depending on which entrance you use, but still quite busy nonetheless, and with very helpful and friendly staff. A true gem of Oxford! 🇫🇷🍽️

Had coffees and Nutella and banana crepe, lovely atomphere, friendly staff great protion, perfect!

Very happy with the 1/2 breakfast. Very nice plateful of food and coffee for about a fiver. Friendly service too

Good food at a good price, hard to find in Oxford! Lovely staff too

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great service. Would highly recommend

Spent a couple of days exploring Oxford and, preferring to find our own breakfast, checked out TA and saw the reviews for this little gem in the covered market off High Street. It’s not very big but it is very popular, and easy to see why. The staff are very friendly and the menu extensive. Obviously lots of locals use it as staff seemed to know lots of their customers. We opted for the full English breakfast, which was delicious and, at just over £7 including tea or coffee, great value for money. It certainly kept us full for the rest of the day’s exploring! The previous day we sampled their strudel and a hot drink - yet again delicious. Can’t comment on the ‘foreign transaction’ in another post as paid in cash (due, in part, to that comment). Would I recommend this establishment? - absolutely!

The food was delicious. The staff are really friendly an welcoming. Customer service was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Have been visiting in Oxford for a few days... By far the best breakfast and snack meals we have found 👍👍

Lovely location and decor, Tasteful breakfast, Wide range of choices in the menu, Friendly staff, Loved strolling around the market too, I recommend this place!

Great pancake and Panini. Cute little place tucked in market

Excellent service, warm and clean. Lovely staff❤❤

Very friendly staff, Chill environment. Very good coffee . Delicious breakfast. And also very nice crepes

Great food, good prices for the food and wonderful friendly staff

Food okay, portions a bit on the small side staff very friendly. What they don't tell you is that your card payments are actually a foreign transaction I only noticed because a suspicious entry appeared on my bank statement. £1.40 on a £7.60 bill!! .

Baguettes are overpriced for the quality

4 star coffee but 5 star service; the Americano was a bit softer (more watered down) than most spots but better than any of the chains, and the sausage roll a tasty, salty treat. The real winners are likely the pastries which I can't comment on. The staff are all super friendly and amenable, answering Qs and all. Recommend.

Stopped by for croissant and coffee. Coffee lasagna and good. Ther maybe other snacks available here.

Very good breakfast and coffee ☕️👍

Excellent service. Staff so friendly. Great pancakes and Pain au Chocolat. Very reasonable prices. Chilled atmosphere.

Found this place tucked away in the covered market. What a fab cafe. Excellent service, friendly atmosphere and a great breakfast. The decaf flat white was superb. Highly recommended

Good all day breakfast . Son had a bacon baguette. Free cup of tea. Just the job. Lovely little place in the Covered Market.

Great food to take away, eat as a pic-nic or at home - a must.

Lovely staff, very polite and the food was lovely, very enjoyable place to grab dinner.
