The Handlebar Café And Kitchen

This charming little café is tucked away on the second floor of a bike repair shop. It offers generous portions and has a wonderful atmosphere. Plus, they use oat milk for their house milk!

I spent the day in Oxford after traveling from London, and I was greeted by incredibly friendly staff and some fantastic coffee! The barista even welcomed me with a smile, and to top it off, she gave me a delicious brownie for my birthday! I will definitely be returning.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The place looked really nice and was decorated very nicely. We came for brunch but the food a bit bland. The coffee wasn't very good, quite acidic. It was a bit disappointing considering I'd heard so much about it. If we go again, hopefully it will be better : Ver carta

The atmosphere here is perfect—quieter than nearby cafés, and the food is fantastic. The real plants in the decor truly enhance the experience. Every plate that came out looked generous and appetizing. I ordered a fish burger with a side salad instead of fries, and it was delightful. Plus, the nearby bike shop is a nice bonus.

This quirky hipster café was a delightful find. The food was absolutely fantastic, and the service was prompt and efficient. It’s the perfect spot for brunch or lunch in Oxford, and I’ll definitely return! However, the restroom could use some improvements—it was rather worn, and the toilet seat was loose. Make sure to arrive early or be ready to wait, as it’s a favorite among students and tourists!

One of my favourite places to go for a delicious brunch. Though it's recommend to make a reservation, the staff are kind enough to help you in case you don't and they aren't too busy. It gets tricky on weekends. I first came here to try their take on the Full English Breakfast and that was absolutely delicious, especially because they prepare their own beans. I returned once more to try their Fava Toast and Hemp Milk Cappuccino. Absolutely amazing! Ver carta

Nestled away yet vibrant in color, this quaint little restaurant offered a limited menu selection, but the portions were delicious and generous. I tried the avocado and egg bagel, which was flavorful and generously filled with egg mayo, arugula, and avocado. The rice, however, was a bit underwhelming with a slightly undercooked texture, though it still delivered strong flavors. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, giving the place a cozy atmosphere. I would definitely return.

The coffee here is fantastic, and the staff is usually very friendly. Unfortunately, during my recent visit with a friend, we were told we could only stay for a maximum of 1 hour and 15 minutes since we were using our laptops. However, less than 45 minutes later, we were given the bill without requesting it, and then we were asked to leave even though we hadn't finished our drinks. This made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I understand that Saturdays can be busy, but I can't help but feel we were treated rudely because of our age.

Terrible food! We went to this cafe with a great excitement after reading reviews however, met with a major disappointment. The place is very nice which made me and my husband excited about our brunch but as soon as we received our drinks- his juice and my coffee- our hopes started fading. When we received our food I got really riled up as I never had such pathetic (for this high price) food in UK, which is certainly not famous for good food. The full english breakfast was awful and i have never seen sugar syrup-dipped pancakes before (it pained to pay so much for that). Many may be surprised by this review, but if you have slightly active taste buds and know how a good pancake tastes or wha... Ver carta
