Woodstock Coffee Shop in West Oxfordshire

Been coming to this delightful cafe for years. Recently chose to go dairy free and staff are so supportive and understanding. Trying out different milks and this morning had a cappuccino with Almond milk which was delicious. Despite it being difficult to create a good froth this experienced barista managed to create a masterpiece (even with coffee art on top) 👏☕️🤩

A nice coffee shop after visiting Blenheim palace. I ordered a latte and the staff were very friendly. Also there is a limited selection of pastries that you can have.

Absolutely loved my time here, will definitely be visiting again. I had a smoothie and a Spanakopita both of which where delicious. The staff where lovely and I had a great chat with both of them. Couldn’t recommend it more!

I can barely believe the difference between our recent late morning visit (1st May) and our visit in July 2023 when I couldn’t say enough good things about this coffee shop. Whilst the basics haven’t changed, and the coffee and tea were just as good, the presence of multiple dogs in the cafe was slightly off putting (one woman, who came and sat at the table next to us, brought three with her although, to be fair, she also brought a blanket for them to lie on and they were well behaved). There were other dogs, too, but the main concern was that two staff members were making a real fuss of one particular large dog and were kneeling down, stroking and playing with the dog (it seemed that staff knew the two women who were with the dog). When they’d finished handling the dog, the young male member of staff washed his hands before he continued serving but the female staff member (I recall that she was wearing a sweatshirt with a slogan or writing on the front) just returned to the back of the counter where she was serving. A few minutes later, the same two members of staff returned to talk to the two women and play with the dog again and, although both washed their hands afterwards, they had been actively fussing the dog and pulling it towards their body meaning that their clothing had been in direct contact with the animal. Whilst I did feel that there were too many dogs in the cafe, this is just a personal view; my concern is about hygiene issues and not about the coffee shop being dog-friendly. I really don’t think that staff members should be touching dogs, and certainly not pulling the animal towards them and onto their clothes, but, if they do, hand-washing afterwards should be an immediate priority before serving food and drinks.

Where to start? Coffee - cappuccino - really smooth without a hint of bitterness. Chai latte - really pretty , light and fluffy, an experience not just a drink. Loose leaf decaf tea for sale (I have been searching for this for months , I don't want to buy online if I can buy in person!) Greek leaf tea - sold as flower buds on the stalk .... I had a pot to try , it's light and refreshing without honey and once it's brewed a little longer add a little honey for a completely different drink ... What a gem of a place the staff are friendly , efficient, passionate about what they do and absolutely lovely ....

Came here whilst out cycling and sat outside in the sunshine and had a gingerbread latte with a chocolate croissant which had vanilla on the inside. A sign inside the door read 'Best coffee shop in Oxfordshire - the Daily Telegraph' - not sure if it is but what I can say is that it was absolutely delicious.

I feel so fortunate for having Woodstock Coffee shop in our town! It has great quality coffee, iced coffee for the summer, lovely desserts and most of all excellent customer service and a big smile!

Amazing customer serviceSo I went to Woodstock on the 7th Feb for a cheeky walk round Blenheim, I noticed the Woodstock coffee shop. I’m not a big coffee drinker myself but fancied a warm drink, I spoke to a young guy outside (COVID friendly) I explained my hatred for coffee. He informed me that they do a Turkish delight hot chocolate. He was so lovely and chatty, he made me feel proper welcomed and the hot chocolate was to die for, I even got some cheeky marshmallow and cream I would highly recommend. A lovely little shop and one amazing member off staff.Was actually pretty dishy, I won’t lie

I sent my work colleague to grab a quick double espresso whilst working in the area, as it was the only place serving during the lockdown.The double shot was the most disgusting coffee I have ever drunk, it tasted like the coffee machine hasn't been cleaned by a qualified person since before the first lockdown.Having worked in a coffee shop in the 1990's we were trained to make every cup count and most importantly, keep the machine clean and in good working order.The coffee was bitter and coarse it left a horrible taste in my mouth which stayed with me until lunchtime.I took the coffee back myself and expressed my dismay, but the BOD working had no chance for a retort and looked like he really didn't care.AVOID this place unless you have no choice!

We were staying in the area and stopped by for some lunch and a milkshake. We had a bacon and brie panini each, a hot chocolate, and a caramelised biscuit milkshake. Everything tasted amazing, my partner was very jealous of my milkshake, and total came to about £14.Would recommend to anyone visiting Woodstock who wants to go to a coffee shop.

Staying in Woodstock and going out early for a walk I was pleased to find this coffee shop opened early. Staff pleasant and the coffee was also very tasty. They also have a good selection of cakes and pastries.

This cafe looked nicely urban from the outside and the coffee machine was impressive so we sat down with high hopes for the quality of the coffee and it mostly lived up to that anticipation. They were not doing sandwiches at the moment which they put down to Covid, not clear why. When we, who were seated, asked about placing a repeat coffee order we were told that we needed to join the very long queue of people snaking their way out the door to order takeaway drinks. Really? Apparently, yes. We then asked about using the loo and were told that due to Covid, the toilets were not open to the public. You mean the public who are your customers and have been seated in your establishment eating and drinking? Once again, apparently yes.I know we’re living in difficult times, but if you are going to open your doors to seating customers rather than just doing takeaway, you’ve got to show them more respect and consideration. Poor.

Understated hidden gem. Doesn’t look much from the outside (in fact we walked past it to begin with) lovely milkshakes and coffee and very lovely staff. Don’t let the exterior deceive you

Awful.I arrived and it said on their door they open at 6.30 and the time was 7.25. Was I walked in and stood for 5 minutes trying to make noise so someone heard me. To be greeted with an angry person because they don’t open till 7.30. I said I’m so sorry and went out and waited patiently, until another man went in two seconds later and got served! So I finally went in again and the server didn’t smile once and the coffee was sooo burnt. It’s the 3rd time I’ve been in and the coffee is ALWAYS burnt or poorly done.I’ll stick with natural bread cafe from now on.

Under current circumstances they are only doing take-away at the door. We only had coffee but went back twice for more! Will be back next time we visit Woodstock.

Called in today after looking on Trip Advisor for best coffee and cake shop to visit and this one was reviewed the best .Very disappointed , tea and coffee was very nice , as was the clementine almond flour cake , but the girl who served me couldn’t of had a less unfriendly attitude even if she tried, was blunt and not a smile or a thank you , plonked the drinks on the table and stomped off. Nice place but won’t rush to this place again, will look at another to visit . The owners who I think was Greek seemed very nice behind the counter , they just need to cheer up their staff .

I go here almost every day and it is the best coffee I've ever tasted. All the staff are so friendly, and provide such a nice atmosphere. Overall it is an incredible place and I would 100% recommend.

A lovely high street coffee shop adjacent to its shop serving all sorts of beverages and cakes etc. Parking nearby. Favourite with locals.

We meet several times a year in Woodstock and always meet at this Coffee Shop. The decor, service and food and drinks are excellent. Nothing else to say.

Delicious food and coffee. Atmospheric tiny spaces. Good for a quick snack or a full meal. The vegetarian choices were excellent.

Popped in here whilst walking around blenheim. Lovely place, lots of unusual pastries and the coffee was excellent, very busy but once seated was great. Would definitely be my 'go to' coffee shop next time we are visiting Woodstock

Lovely warm and inviting coffee shop, superb coffee and excellent homemade cakes, cheery and almond tart was divine

Attractive-looking pastries etc but did not seem to be freshly prepared. Uncomfortable seating, so best for takeaways or short stays.

Very nice people, music, tea, shortbread, croissant, great way to finish the day after visiting Blenheim palace.

Nice attentive staff even though the place was very busy. Nice start to the day. Pet and children friendly!

We stopped driving through Woodstock for lunch. Parking is tiresome but worth the effort. They serve lovely coffee, will definitely stop again.

Finally popped in for a coffee after passing it numerous times in the past. Only had a coffee having resisted the tempting goodies to eat on offer. Coffee very good and flavoursome. Would certainly go back again.

I have been meaning to visit for about a year, after a friend has been raving about it for about that long. I was served at the table and the coffee was the best I've had locally by a landslide. Staff were polite and friendly and well presented too

This is a great cafe and you can see why it's busy. Closes at 6pm on a Saturday which is what we needed. Great, smooth coffee good choice of cakes and other things to eat. We liked to the coffee so much we bought beans. Good millionaire shortbread. We will be back next time we visit. It's great to support a local coffee shop and see it doing really well.

The place is always busy, but you are served quickly and the selection is good. The food quality is high and well presented. They also provide alternative to cows milk. Oatley. I wish more cafes would catch up with this.

This small coffee shop is well placed near the main bus stop for buses towards Oxford. Excellent coffee, also available as takeaways if your bus arrives! If you have time for a treat there i delicious baclava and other sweetmeats to sample.

Serves great coffee and yummy cakes and flapjacks. Had a well needed coffee there on a Sunday morning after having been offered a jug of stewed coffee at our hotel.

Nice warm welcome allowing us to sit down with confidence. Excellent teas and coffees with good selection of cakes. Will be happy to make return visit

As we were able to get parked right outside its door seemed rude not to venture in doors. A welcoming vibe and a delish gluten free carrot cake & a latte was our choice. As we had travelled from Scotland the day before this coffee was just delish. Shall visit again if in the neighbourhood, Woodstock is a beautiful town.

We popped in for coffee and really enjoyed sitting in the window of this cosy coffee shop, which served excellent coffee with very friendly service. We browsed around Woodstock for a couple of hours but finding nowhere as appealing as the Woodstock Coffee Shop, we returned for a light lunch. The sandwiches were delicious and very reasonably priced. And it is much appreciated that you offer student discount, making it more affordable for students. A really lovely place to while away a few hours.... just wish we had such a nice coffee shop in our home town!

Visited for coffee and cake, didn't get cake as not much available gluten free, just 1 very sad looking piece of carrot cake. Coffee was barely warm and tasted of liqorice, would it return.

Been here lots of times and never thought to write a review. Taken it for granted. This place is a gem.

I come here a lot. There are so many reasons to visit. Amazing coffee, pretty much every way you could want it, even with plant based milk. The music choice gives a great atmosphere but my favourite thing is the Greek cakes (among a vast array of tasty sweet and savoury treats). I would heartily recommend the kourabie a sugar dusted Greek petit-fours.

We rate a cafe on the flat whites and these were good! Just the right amount of bitter aftertaste. Triple chocolate cookies were fab too!

Walked up from Blenheim Palace grounds as we wanted to support the local town of Woodstock and were warmly welcomed at this cosy coffeeshop.Delicious latte and apple cake and lovely friendly service..will definitely return

This is what it says on the label - a coffee shop. Great drinks, cakes, and a few sandwiches. All served in basic but comfortable surroundings. This is certainly not a place for a traditional afternoon tea, or hot soup for lunch. However, very convenient, and had a nice atmosphere. Difficult for a place like this to differentiate itself from other similar establishments, but enjoyable experience.

You won’t find a better cup of coffee anywhere else in Woodstock. Flapjacks are delicious; and all the other pastries look amazing. Wonderfully friendly team. See you soon.

A bit like a small Starbucks, but with friendlier staff! Very relaxed atmosphere on a Sunday morning

Great coffee - average sandwich for the price that we paid for it. Cakes looked amazing but did not try any! Cute place to stop off for lunch.

We wondered into Woodstock after wandering round the grounds of Blenheim Palace and fancied a cuppa. A friendly welcome from the staff, a good cup of tea and a fabulous slice of carrot cake hit the spot, all at very reasonable prices - would recommend

Arrived 9am for a quick coffee on returning from Silverstone, Great coffee and the toasted Tea Cakes were huge and tasty. Great choice of coffee's and good selection of cakes, etc

Passing through and visited for first time. Very friendly staff and made a very nice flat white (quality beans!). Cake selection was excellent and family enjoyed baklava and cookies. Will visit again

I called in here at about 2pm on a sunny Wednesday in August.

Baristas know how to make a decent espresso. Lovely atmosphere. Great selection of cakes. This is our favourite half-way point on our early Sunday morning bicycle ride

Stopped off on a hot bike ride. great iced coffee and the young man who served us was very thoughtful offering to fill up water bottles etc.

Stopped here on route to London. What a find. Very nice friendly staff. Had one of the most delicious baclava’s ever!!! Also dog friendly an added bonus. Will most definitely make a stop here again

Nice place to drop in for good quality coffee and food. Bacon slice was tasty and tea cake came with a range of jams. Well worth a visit.

Coffee was normal and pastries ok with a good selection but not memorable.

on our way to oxford,stopped for coffee and where impressed with the whole place and the coffee. well done

Popped into this place to get a good dose of caffeine before our walk about in Blenheim park. Super friendly owner and service. Enjoyed our short stay here.

Not sure if it is the great location on Oxford Road, the delicious coffee and pastries or the warm service but it all goes together to make their guests want to come back.

Firstly I'm a self confessed coffee snob, & expect a crema on my double espresso every time but it's always so hit & miss in the UK.

-After visiting Blenheim Palace we were looking for a cup of tea in Woodstock and came in here. Excellent tea, a really friendly vibe and Greek pastries. So glad we stumbled into this place. Great choice of teas, the coffee smells great, maybe try that next time

Stopped for a coffee and sandwiches. Highly recommend the sausage rolls and the sandwiches. Cakes looked good. Great service and very friendly.

We absolutely love this little coffee shop , we live local and call in as often as possible, coffee is lovely and smooth, cakes are delicious too , staff are always friendly and happy , we always get a "hello" and "goodbye" from the staff, a little thing maybe but it goes along way , and a bonus for us dogs are welcome. Nothing to fault as far as we're concerned it's a little gem .

Went in at 7.45 and was greeted by a very cheerful young lady. I ordered a sandwich and mocha. Both were fantastic - especially the coffee. A little gem in a beautiful village.

Love this place. It has become our favourite - especially for our little dog. The Italian Coffee is first rate and always worth the extra 40p. The coffee cups are exactly the right size. The Salmon sandwiches are definitely worth a try too.

Have passed this coffee shop many times en-route to Oxford, but never had time to stop. We decided to call in today for a warm-up after a bracing walk round the town in the bitter weather. We were not disappointed .... we were greeted with a warm, smiley welcome from the staff, then sat and enjoyed a coffee / tea and a slice of banana cake / toasted tea cake, with a quirky little stand offering a choice of miniature jams. Both reluctant to step back out into the cold after thawing out! Very cosy!

My regular coffee shop, great way to start the day, staff very friendly, atmosphere great, and the coffee is very good - choice of House, Italian or Brazilian roasts and they do a great soya milk latte. Plenty of Greek pastries, gluten free options and sandwiches at lunchtimes.

We dropped in for coffee after walking round Blenheim Park on a rare sunny afternoon at the end of January.

This afternoon, I visited The Woodstock Coffee Shop after walking round Blenheim Park with my dog, in the fresh, cold January wind and felt in need of warming up afterwards. I have been to this cafe 3 times during 2017 and always find the hot beverages and food to be first rate, served by friendly, enthusiastic staff. Today, was no exception; I had the most delicious hot chocolate with some scrumptious Baklava and the young gentleman serving, very kindly gave me a bowl of water for my dog. Keep up the good work cos I love what you do and I ook forward to returning soon!

Popped in for a coffee and sandwich after a 12 mike walk.

Called in for a quick cuppa to warm up on a cold day. Warm welcome and warm cafe too. Lovely cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and a delicious cappuccino. Good value and a nice place

Lovely little coffee shop. Friendly service, good range of cakes (tasty), enjoyed our cappuccinos, good prices

Very homely cafe with very good coffee, and cakes, warm service and also somewhere to have proper Greek coffee and 'spanakopita', a reminder of summer escapes!

We popped in yesterday for a coffee and cake, the coffee was very good and the cake was delicious with a good variety even at 5pm

Pleasant coffee shop with nice layout etc but two criticisms.

Picked a leaflet up in the Tourist Information for the Woodstock town trail.On the way round we wanted a coffee so called in and were greeted by 2 happy ladies.The coffee was perfect and the cakes very tempting but as we had not long had a full English breakfast could not force one down.Although the place is not very big it was full all the while we were there and some people came in saw no empty seats and left which was a pity as they missed a good experience

Lovely independent cafe which makes beautiful coffee. We sampled some of the homemade flapjack which was delicious. Recommended.

Beautiful exposed stone wall and lots of aged wooden interior give the place a warm cosy feel. Great coffee especially there Italian blend and combined with one of the pastries makes for a perfect treat. The staff are always very welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

Visited here on a recently shopping trip to Woodstock, attracted by the look of the place and the UE coffee roasters sign outside. Really nice laid-back atmosphere inside with a very Greek theme to some of the food offerings - my wife had some delightful baklava to go with our excellent coffee. Staff were very welcoming too. We will definitely be back!

Having read about this coffee shop in Cotswold Life, we decided to give it a try after vowing not to return to Hampers across the road following our last visit there.

Vi måtte opgive Blenheim Palace, da det var en særlig weekend med over 100000 besøgende på grund af noget festival. I sted blev det til en creme coffe. Dejlig kaffe og gode scones.

Great great coffee and the homemade sausage rolls are something special. I like the venue and it's interior, it has a very pleasant homely feel. Staff were pleasant and as I say those homemade sausage rolls were something else!!

I wish I lived closer because this is one of those hidden gems that you find and want to keep to yourself. I can't wait until I am next in the area and can stay for lunch.
