Housed in Oxford University’s Old Congregation House below the University Church, the Vaults Café offers a delicious and healthy organic, local and seasonal menu. When the weather is nice, the garden is one of the finest spots in Oxford to sit in (if you can get a seat.) Hot water bottles & blankets are even provided during the winter!

The Handle Bar
Tucked away above a bicycle shop is The Handle Bar Cafe and Kitchen with brilliant food and a nice selection of coffees along with a rare slice of tranquillity. Here you can enjoy breakfasts, brunches, lunches and dinners that have been made with ingredients carefully sourced from independent suppliers while you sit in the bright, airy, relaxed space overlooking St Michael’s Street.

The Nosebag
The seasonally changing menus use fresh ingredients from local suppliers and they are one of the few restaurants in Oxford that boast that they bake all of their own cakes, offering no less than 12 different varieties and fresh scones every day.

The Grand Café

The Breakfast Club
Their second venture outside of the M25 The Breakfast Club can be found on the rooftop of the recently renovated Westgate Shopping Centre. It may not be a small or independent business but as a huge fan of the 80s I can’t resist the vibe or the food.
