The Buttery in Oxford

Shame that this place has closed - it is now just another store selling Oxford tee shirts. Maybe they'll change their minds and reopen it.

We were looking forward to visiting this cafe. Sadly its now a clothes retailer. Disappointing. There are other cafes worth a visit. Particularly the Vaults and Gradens in Radcliffe Square, not far from where the Buttery should have been.

Access was not easy, however staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and adequate but needs decor updating as does the bathroom. Location was good as hoped. Slightly overpriced for what was available.

터미널에서 옥스포드대학으로 가는길 잠 시 쉬어간 카페 야외테이블에서 유유낙낙하기 좋다. (비록 주차된 오토바이나 자전거가 시선을 막긴하지만) 아이스아메리카노를 시켰는데 뜨거운 아메리카노와 아이스3조각이 나왔다는 웃기못할 추억이 있는곳

I just went in for a coffee and a croissant, and was not disappointed. This is a cute little place with good coffee and a nice atmosphere.

Went to meet friends for a cup of coffee. It was a sunny day, so I made an order at the counter and sat outdoor. Barely got my order to the table, a waitress came over and literally yelled at us saying that they were closing. It was 5 to 6pm so I thought that we could at least have a few minutes to finish off, however they started closing, taking the tables and chairs inside. A lady stood over me waiting to clean up whilst I was rushing to finish off my coffee and piece of cake. Very unprofessional, moreover embarassing. I would have expected to be notified about the closing time at the counter. I will never go back to this place.

Sat outside in Broad Street after parkrun and enjoyed a perfect cooked breakfast. They got the scrambled eggs and bacon just right. Better than the luxury hotels we stayed at subsequently.

Ottimi smoothie in centro ad Oxford. Possibilità di sedersi nei tavolini fuori (£3.20) oppure Take away (cheaper).

I was touring Oxford College area with a friend and decided to drop in for a cup of tea. Not a fancy setting but it was quaint and cozy. Ordered tea, warm scones and a delightful Welsh Rarebit. Nice local place to take a break.

Called in here for a snack , the food is lovely and reasonable priced. We had the biggest breakfast baguette ever- filled with sausage, bacon and scrambled egg and also a cheese, tomato and basil panini....lovely. There's a couple of tables in the front of the cafe, plenty outside and a bigger area through the cafe to the back. Recommended.

All everything perfect. The bossess are perfect,the staff brilliant. When i come back to Oxford i will come back. I just can say thank you for everything tjat you made for us!

Good food at a reasonable price, great view too of the university. However what let's this place down is sadly the owner, the way he treated his staff in front of everyone was sadly quite appalling. Borderline xenophobic "my oriental friend", "you need to learn English", it was like watching basil fawlty with Manuel. We couldn't wait to leave it made us feel so uncomfortable. The staff actually do a good job when they're given the chance. Hope they find something better soon.

With pretty much a monopoly on outdoor seating on Broad Street this is going to be the choice of many on a sunny day in Oxford. Hard to believe that they can get it so wrong. A simple Americano took 15 minutes to be brought to my outdoor table and it was no more than tepid at best. Certainly not worth a couple of quid. The final straw was the toilet which was minging to say the least - now I can believe that they are plagued with non-customers using it but that's an overhead of location in a tourist city, they should factor it in - can;t believe a cleaner would cost anything like their business rates. Avoid until they up their game.

The Buttery es un hotel muy pequeño pero ubicado en el corazòn de Oxford, lo que permite adentrarse en el clima estudiantil y de trabajo de sus habitantes.- Abajo hay un barcito donde puede tomarse desayuno.- No puedes pretender nada especial de un alojamiento de esta ciudad si deseas sentir el ambiente y sobre todo vivir las noches, donde esperas encontrar a la vuelta de la esquina el fantasma del inspector Morse.-

From J Boy of Derby Good food outdoor seating,nice coffee and tea fast, and friendly service but the toilet does sadly let this place down. I know it's the public that cause this but it should be cleaned more often not good when I visited.

I dropped in for a quiche lunch with not much time before a planned tour. Food was very good and service was quick and efficient.

Great value food plenty of it,service okay,very busy as it is right next to where all the tours meet

We visited The Buttery on the 17 th May and found the staff to be very accommodating. However the state of the customer toilet was disgusting. Not only the loo itself but the room has never been cleaned for years!!! The food was poor, my Mexican wrap had lettuce that had been heated contained in it, which was the only part remotely warm.

I was with a tour group and we had to wait for a couple of hours before we could tour the Bodleian Library so a friend and I struck off down the street to see what we could find for lunch. The Buttery looked quite cozy so we found a table by the window so we could watch a film crew outside filming an episode of "Endeavor". I wasn't very hungry so I ordered a bowl of Broccoli and Stilthouse soup that the waitress explained was a type of British cheese. Despite our rather small order, the food took quite some time to be served. Finally, it arrived and I found the soup quite flavorful. I noticed there was a cold chest of ice cream and, remembering how good the British ice cream was on my earlier trips to London, I ordered a small scoop to take with me as we strolled up the street. It was quite refreshing as well.

Have visited many times. Enjoyed food and drinks and pleasant staff. Clean and has tables outside. Hotel with rooms.

We went here with a six year old and a baby in buggy. The staff were accommodating and seated us despite the place being busy. Food and drinks were excellent and good prices too.

My wife and I took a city break in Oxford and visted the Butterry Cafe. I only had a Latte because they don't do gluten free (I am coeliac). My wife had a smoothie and a piece of carrot cake. My Latte wasn't a Latte; it was just a milky coffee, and a terrible one at that. The carrot cake was so dry it was almost like a biscuit. The smoothie was fine. I felt compelled to return both the coffee and the cake as they were so bad. We did not get our money back but to drink the coffee and eat the cake would have been worse than the wasre of money

I'm always looking for a great baguette place but this is a very average one. filling wise, bread wise, staff wise etc shame because its in such a good spot.

I like to use the independent coffee shops in Oxford. Stopped here for coffee and cake - the decaf was pretty tasteless and the cake was stale. I complained to the waiter but got little more than a grudging apology. Oh well, I guess there are too many tourists to worry about the locals!

We were hoping to be able to sit outside at the tables provided but it was a little too cold even though the sun was shining so we sat inside by the window. The staff were friendly and polite and our order arrived quickly and was very good. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant which was very good as was the orange and poppy seed cake. Would recommend The Buttery.

Se quiser tomar um sorvete, ou comer um pain au chocolate, lá é o lugar certo. Eles tem bebidas quentes tambem, e mesas do lado de fora do restaurante, para quem quiser apreciar o lindo cenário de Oxford.

Called in for a snack and coffee on a busy bright Saturday morning.

Visited late Sunday afternoon after a rather cold 2 hr Morse,Lewis and Endeavour walking tour,my husband and I decided to try The Buttery because of reference in the tour.In desperate need of something to warm myself up and not being a tea or coffee drinker I chose the leek and potato soup.Waitresses were helpful and checked that it was still on the menu and luckily it was,.My husband had the same and when it arrived it was piping hot and excellently well flavoured with tasty crusty bread.We shared a salmon quiche which was also very enjoyable.Reasonably priced as well.We both left full and much warmer than we went in !!!

We were walking down the street, sun was shining and we wanted to grab a snack to enjoy it. The buttery had all types of take away breads with interesting fillings. We both got the smoked salmon and it was fantastic. Most cafes skimp on the fish, this one didn't. Helped make our stay enviable add we ate good food in the good weather.

We called in to this tea rooms today, and sadly it did not live up to expectations. Firstly they were very busy (which we took as a good sign as it's clearly popular) but that did mean the place seemed a bit disorganised. The drinks / food were quite pricey, and did not really prove to be worth the price. The hotdog was microwaved and the bread was 'tough', the tea came in a mug with a tea bag (we were at least hoping for a tea pot) and the cake was OK but at £3.20 per slice it should have been more than OK.

We visited on a busy Saturday lunchtime, party of three. We had a selection of baguettes and panini (ciabatta bread, toasted), the latter served with chunky fries. Tuna mayo, sausage and pastrami with cheese, our three fillings washed down with a good cup of tea. Service was good. Food was good. Just the ticket.

A party of 8 just requiring tea, coffee and a couple of cakes. Went to the counter to order and was told that the cafe was closing in 25 minutes. Fair enough! Order given to staff that seem unfamiliar with the words "please" or "thank you".

This was our last call of the day and weather allowed us to sit outside. Last time it was thunder and lightning,so different! Service was quick and delivered by pleasant staff.Reasonably priced items with a varied menu to choose from. Would return when visiting Oxford....

Stopped for a coffee and hit chocolate in a day out with my teenage daughter. She said the hot chocolate was amazing. Added bonus of lovely large windows to watch world go by opposite gorgeous Oxford cotswold stone buildings. Plus if you are a LEWIS fan this cafe has been used in filming.

Just landed on Friday. Lovely coffee and my word, the Victoria Sponge was to die for. Toilets not good but a busy place, staff friendly, efficient.

Expensive and terrible food. Microwaved tasteless quiche. Even the coffee was tasteless. Exploiting the tourist market.

Went in here to try and find a table for 6 of us. No one asked to help or even pointed out if they could accommodate. Instead when we tried to walk upstairs, got shouted at that this was for staff only (maybe put a barrier up or maybe a sign). We promptly left, not a word spoken by the staff apart from the stairs incident. We found somewhere nice for lunch, came back to the market and bought ourselves some nice food. They had about 8 tables outside, away from the cafe. Not one person was sat at them as it was extremely cold. We found one table to sit at just did finish the food, must have been watching and ran straight out and told us this was for customers only, we just said 5 minutes whilst we finish the food. No we were told we must leave (just to point out, I work at a Coffee shop, if its dead and people sit at the seats to either just to take a seat or even eat, i just politely ask if they take there rubbish. It looks good for custom as you look busy).

We visited the premises twice during the day and on both occasions we were warmly met and the value was excellent.

The Buttery in a very popular place where the walking tours start. Wanted a cup of coffee and a light lunch. Drinks ok but food disapointing jacket potato luke warm and lacking much filling,also side garnish very small.

Friendly cafe with great waiting staff, the home made cakes are lovely with a good choice (plus gluten free options) can't understand an earlier comment about the use of tea bags - I'm a hardened tea drinker and I thought the quality was good - no supermarket blend cheap bags on offer here!

We stopped here for tea and cakes. The tea was okay but the cakes disappointing. Not sure we'd bother again.

My family of five visited The Buttery for breakfast two days in a row. We were staying in the hotel as well and found that experience perfectly fine. On the first morning, breakfast was more than adequate. The cafe/ hotel has a lot of advantages, such as its superb location and great views of Broad Street, but my experience was completely let down by the service we encountered at breakfast on the second morning.

Our visit left me with mixed feelings: the positive: the cakes were homemade and excellent. The negative - I remain unimpressed by the use of 'teabags' - there's no excuse not to offer fresh leaf tea for the tea drinkers, especially those who like the more delicate varieties. Not everyone likes coffee. teabags are lazy.

....however the staff and speed of service let them down.

We had sandwiches and a soup here for lunch. It is a pleasant enough place right next to the Oxford Visitor Center. The wait for our food was a bit too long, but otherwise a good place to enjoy a quick lunch.

Felt rushed to choose because menus not on tables outside and breakfast menu is not on the board inside so waiter had to hand us the menu at the till. He was not helpful and the person bringing the order to us was unfriendly. Breakfast was unremarkable and scrambled eggs bland. Breakfast bap should have had scrambled egg, bacon and sausage and was missing the sausage. No condiments offered at all. Lots of nice places to have a snack in before a trip around the city. Unfortunately this is not one of them.

This was our last call of the day and also served as a temporary shelter from the thunder and lightning. Both the Carrot cake and Victoria sponge were delicious with the Smoothies quickly drunk.

Went there for lunch on a Sunday. Easy to get a table and fast efficient service. Nice staff. Food of a good standard for the price. Good location as well.

Unique type cafe, presumably they're not part of a chain? Outside seats, although quite noisy, we sat inside and noticed there was a queue just before 11.00am so must have a good reputation. The Americano coffee was some of the nicest we'd tried.

Went with my boyfriend to visit this famous cafe, as he said, 😊. Staff very friendly and attentive. Coffee /espresso really good, Victoria sponge cake delicious!😊. Tables were cleaned, not much to wait for table. I will highly recommended this place.

Was ok very busy forgot our order,then forgot the milk for our tea Staff pleasant. Had scone and jam,scone was good but very small. No butter offered. Just jam and cream. Need to pay more attention to detail.

En el centro de oxford encontramos este pequeño restaurant que se caracteriza por sandwich , pastas , quiches , helados y tortas . Comimos fideos a la bolognesa que estaban realmente buenos , y sandwich que tambien eran abundantes y buenos . Precio acomodado . Recomendable

Had a salad and all day breakfast and quiche and salad. Quiche was a bit raw in middle. Salad was fine. The service was OK and as we sat near window inside, view was excellent. Not nice that the toilet was so filthy and the man who ran the shop said it was all the pack of kids who sullied it. It is so basic to keep a place clean.

Popped in here for a spot of lunch. Has tables out on the pavement which would be delightful if there weren't quite so many of them crammed into the available space. Food is reasonably priced, but the service could be improved slightly. There was only one person taking orders at the till while also dealing with phone calls and issuing instructions to staff. This confusion led to one of our party's order being missed entirely. We weren't charged for it, but none of us had the heart to go back in and re-order.

Came here for a quick take away coffee before a trip to the Ashmolean. The coffee was hot enough to boil eggs in and was foul. Threw it in the bin once it was cool enough to taste. You shouldn't let people make coffee who don't drink it themselves!

Good coffee, tea and smoothies served all day. A few dozens of seats outside, many more inside, with airconditioning!

Really cute cafe where they filmed a few 'Lewis' scenes. Really quick service and the food is lovely! Really good vale and in such a lovely location

Interesting to sit out in the street, for a drink and cake, lovely cake. Place let down by dirty and smelly toilets

We had a bite to eat late one lunchtime. The food was ok, but nothing more than that. It all looked very generic. We had cream tea and there was nothing wrong with it, but the portions were small and the jam and cream barely covered the scones. It has a great location with outside seating but misses out on being special.

This little place looked quite unassuming, but we were I need of a light lunch, ordered mixed veg wrap but got chicken, it was lovely, husband really enjoyed smoked salmon and scrambled egg on bagel, nice slices of salmon and not trimmings as others try to get away with. Good service and coffee was delightful, thank you. Highly recommend. Look up the stairwell to see the height of this lovely building

My boyfriend and I visited Oxford for the day and visited The Buttery for lunch. The cups and cutlery were really dirty and we had to ask for it to be changed! After asking for them to be changed the staff came back 5 times and asked what we wanted them to do with the dirty cups. We payed £7.50 for a 'gourmet' sausage sandwich each. The chips that came with it were fine but the sausages were really poor quality- not what you'd expect for a £7.50 'gourmet' sandwich. We would certainly advise NOT visiting for lunch!

Visited Oxford in the pouring rain so called in here and found very friendly obliging staff! Gave us a warm chocolate and a hot chocolate as ordered, as well as fresh tasty scones and cream tea, didn't throw us out in the rain, even tho they were closing, so can only say how I found it at the end of a wet day! Have had very much worse in Oxford! It's in a central location and a reasonable price all round.

We didn't say in the hotel but we did have breakfast there . The breakfast was terrible, the bacon was not cooked, the sausage I'm sure was from the day before and the only thing that was hot was the baked beans . I do not recommend this place to have breakfast

Stopped here for lunch recently which sadly, was spoiled by the presence of the manager being loud, rude and frankly unpleasant to his (very nice) staff. Interesting to see that similar complaints have been made below with regard to this issue.

Un normale cafè, nella media, situato in pieno centro. Molto carino ed accogliente, ideale per un tè o un caffè pomeridiano mentre fuori piove.

For just £3.90 each we enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon tea at The Buttery. (Sorry but we spurned the same fair at the Randolph hotel around the corner which was £17.50 each). A lovely home made scone with clotted cream and jam plus a big pot of English tea to share. We were able to sit in the window too and watch the world go bye as we waited four the bus home.

Very pleasant, snug cafe, with a decent range of options at relatively low cost. The jacket potatoes were very good, as was the coffee, but there were numerous other options. Really central, so handy for walking and touring. Would happily go there again, before checking out the various shops and attractions. (If you want a compact academic diary with Oxford logo on it, forget it and just go straight to WH S.)

This looked like a nice little place to have tea but unfortunately the cakes were just not up to standard. First there was very little choice of cakes and when we asked what gave the Red Velvet cake its colour the waitress had no idea, and didn't offer to find out. My husband had the red cake and it was tasteless. Another friend had a scone which was dry and tastelss. My tiffin bar was perfectly acceptable. It was more expensive than the cafe in the Museum across the road which is where I'd advise you to go for decent tea and cakes.

c'est une toute petite boutique, les serveurs sont chaleureux et préparent des en-cas simples, mais frais. On y mange vite pour pas cher, de quiches, des hamburgers toujours accompagnés de salade ou de coleslaw.

It looked so welcoming that we had to seek shelter and sustenance.

We stopped here for a coffee during the day. I sat down at a table while my boyfriend ordered. I asked for a take away cup as I knew I wouldn't finish my coffee before wanting to carry on walking through Oxford's beautiful streets. My boyfriend just returned with our drinks and sat down when the manager/owner came over and shouted at us "If you ordered take-away then you have to TAKE. IT. AWAY!!!". He was extremely rude and everyone turned to stare at us. How embarrassing. My boyfriend replied apologising and asked the owner if he'd like us to pay the difference - he rudely said "yes I would actually" so we coughed up the princely sum of 60 pence! I hope that was worth humiliating two customers in front of a crowded cafe for. We both felt like we'd walked in and asked for two glasses of tap water the way he treated us. We'd just paid for drinks and were certainly not trying to save 60p. We merely wanted the option of taking them with us after we'd had a little sit down. I've never been shouted at by someone in the hospitality industry before. After that I was very aware of the surroundings and could hear the same man speaking to the staff with the same aggressive and nasty tone. I'm certainly glad I don't work there!

Had a morning coffee and a cake here. Friendly staff, nice decor and Morse-related photos on the wall

This is a family run small cafe in the heart of Oxford. The food is excellent and speedy service a bonus. By the photos on the walls Laurence Fox, amongst others, makes this a regular haunt during filming in Oxford. If its good enough for him, then ....... as the saying goes!

Stopped here for a quick convenient place to eat as we were getting a bit foot sore. Very limited menu and service was quick so we needed to make a snap decision. Baguette was fine, place was clean but nothing outstanding.

Went to the Buttery on Saturday 19th December around about 2.45 in the afternoon. Checked they were still serving food, found a table and took a look at the menu. On deciding what we wanted I went to the counter to order. As the girl was taking the order a chap from the kitchen came and butted in and said 'NO MORE FOOD AVAILABLE'.

Lovely breakfast in a very pleasant room adjoining the cafe. Great choice and service. Would definitely visit again.

I shared a tip here to order the Scone and clotted cream and tea. A nice cozy place to sit and watch all the ouside activities. They have also a hotel. The tuna sandwich was delicious. Service was quick and excellent.

観光案内所やUniversity shop、そのた土産物屋のすぐそばで、街歩きの前後に一休みするのに格好のお店。

The word butler comes from the word buttery. Great building, food and staff. A must go place for taking visitors to.

The Buttery is a handy place to eat if you are touring Oxford. The building has a history, so that intrigued us. There was a limited selection of unique items, the ones we tried were delicious. I would recommend stopping here if you are looking for a quick lunch that will surely hit the spot.

Ich habe mehrere Male im Buttery zu Mittag gegessen und es sehr genossen. Service gut; Essen lecker. Der beste Latte Macchiato in Oxford für mich.

Basically this a coffee shop that serves snacks and light meals. We used it several times very happily. Its location in the Broad near the Tourist Office is ideal.

Called here for tea and flapjack on a day visit sat outside must say good location but for 2 teas and flapjack £9 rip off we were not even given a serviett they just want to rip off tourists will not call again when I next go to oxford

Stayed here for 2 nights. Room was fine, but was at the back of the hotel and had high windows, so couldn't look out (although there was no view to speak of anyway). Bathroom was basic and had a saniflow toilet which seemed a bit odd in such a hotel and was noisy. The continental breakfast was ok, but staff not particularly friendly. Would have been nice to have our used bowls etc cleared away and offered a second cup of tea/coffee. Felt a little like we were an inconvenience. The hotel is right in the centre of Oxford which is great, but you do pay a premium for it.

We tried to eat in this place on a sunny lunchtime. All th tables outside were taken so we went inside. There is a busy take away counter just inside the door and a sign leading to the back which says restaurant. We were hungry so decided to take a table and duly read the menus which are placed on every table and chose what we would like to eat.

Called in for coffe & cake at lunch time. The choice of cake was very poor, bought in mass produced. Had to pay up front and sit down and wait. Took over ten minutes to arrive.

We spent the day in Oxford and The Buttery was recommended to us. We had coffee and cake and it was delicious. We were surrounded by history and tourists and noise but we sat and enjoyed the bustling around us. It was fun.

After walking for about three hours through Oxford and its grounds we were happy to stumble across this place to have a cup of tea and an afternoon snack. Out the back is a pleasant, quiet area to rest.

Ordered a takeaway chicken mayo salad panini and specifically asked for it not to be heated. After a 15-20 minute wait, where I had asked where my panini had got to given there were six people behind the counter chatting and not doing much, I was abruptly told there were quite a few orders taken recently. Finally my panini arrived and chap handed it to me saying chicken panini not toasted and I was surprised to feel it was warm. Given I wanted it for later it having been warmed was a problem. I asked if they would deliver right order at the hairdressers around the corner, as I was now late for my appointment, and they just said could I wait yet longer for it. I said no and asked for my money back. On leaving the cafe I bumped into the owner and mentioned the issue to him and all he could say was why would I order a panini unheated. Really?? What rubbish customer service and no wonder given attitude of the owner. Fortunately my hairdresser will be boycotting their cafe and the hotel in future... Oxford has such lovely coffee places, like mortons or Turl kitchen... that fortunately we don't have to put up with poor customer service.

Have visited this cafe on a number of occasions over the years and have always been delighted with the experience. Good coffee and nice choice of tasty cakes. Necessary to order inside but pleasant table service. Best point about cafe is location - outside seating in the middle of Broad Street. Brilliant place to sit, enjoy the sunshine and watch the world go by.

Stopped here for delicious cappuccino and latte. it was sunny and we had tables outside with views of the university . fantastic watching tourists and students pass by. Had we not eaten the food looked delicious but the coffee was great and the staff friendly and welcoming. So much nicer than chain coffee shops.

The Buttery is a small hotel as well as a restaurant that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed this so much that we returned for afternnon tea after we concluded our explorations of the local sights. This is a family owned place that offers tasty food. Ingredients were fresh. Four of us chose different dishes -- pastry meat pie, sandwich, soup. All was well-presented, fresh and tasty.

I came here for coffee with a friend recently, and whilst there was nothing bad about my experience at all, I felt nothing really left a lasting impression. The decor was a little bland, the food selection was okay but nothing fancy.It was all nice enough but a little basic- although sometimes I suppose a basic, no-fuss lunch is just what you want. The coffee did taste very nice, and the prices are quite reasonable. The staff were friendly enough, and whilst in the summer its outside tables are usually full, this time there seemed to be a lack of atmosphere. I'd maybe recommend going when it's a little busier, or if you want to sit outside and admire broad street at its bustling best.

My husband and I went to Oxford on our way to the Cotswolds whilst holidaying in London during December 2014, the morning tea and coffee was very nice and the place was very very clean. We left behind a bag, the staff found a business card and made a few calls to our Australian number and left a message for us. Had they not made the effort to contact us, we would not have noticed until we were back in London that evening, packing to catch a train to Paris the following morning. This would have caused us to miss our train, as the bag had our travel documents inside. EXCELLENT, AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE.

It's a very long time since I first came here to this family run eatery. It isn't the place to go if you want a full meal but it's great for a quick bite. The staff were friendly enough but somewhat disorganised even though most tables were empty. I have no idea how they will manage when they get busy with summer tourists. Our desert cake (very tasty) arrived with our coffees and the main food followed a few minutes after. My double espresso coffee was served without sugar or spoon so I had to ask for them. "Oh yes we've got some sugar sachets in a box down here". Worth a try but there are plenty of other places around to tempt you.

Мы хотели где-то ненадолго остановиться, чтобы быстро перекусить.

It was adequate ... run out of teaspoons and hand dryer broken in loo. Haphazard service by pleasant but clearly muddled staff. Wouldn't recommend as a quintessential English teashop - there are many nearby that are better.

Stopped here for tea and cake, and had a baguette to take away also. Friendly service, food tasty and freshly prepared. Plenty of seating outside and at the back of the shop.

Stopped today for breakfast but menu choice was limited to pre made baguettes and pastries . Would have thought that a place the Lewis frequents could do better . Just offering to heat up the baguette would have been a start

The Buttery is in Broad Street, opposite Balliol College. There's extensive outdoor seating as well as space inside. We chose to sit inside but with a clear view of Balliol.
