Popped in with my young daughter. Very accommodating. Great coffee, daughter loved Babychino. I liked the vibe of the place. The choc cookie was very nice!

This is a lovely place to sit and work, or watch ppl working, I suppose. There is a games room below, and the coffee is very very good. Staff are lovely, there is vegan food on the menu and even gluten free biscuits.

There is no better coffee in the Oxford area. I happily do a 45 minute bus trip from Milton Park (or 1 h bus from Didcot) just for their Managers Special. The staff are amazing, comedic geniuses with kind hearts, it's always a pleasure to come in, be it busy or chill and you can always crack a good conversation with them guaranteed to be filled with laughs. If it was closer to me I would be there everyday, but instead I happily enjoy going 2-3 times a week for meet ups with friends or the cafes boardgame or music events of which they hold WEEKLY! I couldn't recommend a place more. But fair warning, you WILL become obsessed with the Managers Special! (The brie sandwich also slaps)

The atmosphere is really warm and welcoming and the coffee is very tasty. I've been there to play board games and to relax and read. Their food is simple but good - im rather partial to a grilled cheese.

Absolutely Brilliant! This is exactly what I always wanted in Jericho, a warm cafe with a late night closing time. Perfect for late night reading. Thank you TCG, good luck :)

Popped in for the first time yesterday evening with my fiancée after a bike ride — what a wonderful find! We enjoyed a lovely coffee and ended up spending the next 20 minutes chatting with the owners, who were incredibly welcoming. They even gave us a little tour and shared some fascinating stories about the renovation and history of the place. We’ll definitely be back soon for more coffee, a good chat, and something to eat!

Feta spinach tart is good! Packed with flavor in a crispy light filo shell~ I’m too caffeinated today to try the coffee here. Next time in Oxford! Love the bright window and bar table. The bgm is jazz hip hop. I ended up getting the pistachio banana bread too. Unique and tasty, though a bit oily for me. The guys are super friendly.

Good coffee, good vibes, and a late night option that's not a bar! Very friendly staff. The upstairs area doesn't have that many seats but there are lots more downstairs (without window access, of course). Standard Jericho high prices, but a nice place to be.
