“ Ordered a Matcha with oat milk and Victoria sponge cake absolutely delicious!!!!! I’m so glad they are literally next door my new fav coffee shop. Well done team. Also the most smiling and friendly people xxx ”
“ 11th June 2024 I really enjoyed my first visit to this lovely cafe. There's a wide range of homemade dishes to choose from all made from fresh ingredients. The service was excellent, efficient and friendly. I sat at a beautiful rustic bench style table, ideally situated at the entrance where I had a beautiful view of St Aldates. The smoked salmon salad was adequately portioned and came with a side of pesto dressing which was absolutely delicious, I had to ask for a top up which was no trouble at all. It was also so nice to enjoy a breakfast bap that's not served in a brioche bun but rather as English tradition intended! Coupled with a tea or latte of you choice, it was an affordable 5.95. I'm looking forward to my next visit to this delightful cafe in the near future Thanks for a welcoming and friendly experience ”
“ Popped in on a whim to have coffee with a friend. Lovely friendly staff, delicious coffee (we had flat white, double espresso and a black americano) the baked pastries were prepared in store and were delicious. Can't recommend enough, will definitely go back. There's also free WiFi. ”
“ I’m a huge coffee lover, but I can’t stand coffee chains. On my way to the post office, which was just 20 minutes from opening, I stumbled upon Artisan Cafe right next door. I stepped in and was immediately impressed by the unique atmosphere, far from the typical chain coffee shop vibe. I was warmly greeted by Sacha, who made me an incredible cappuccino and set me up for a great day ahead. Make sure to visit this charming and distinctive coffee shop next to the post office in Oxford, and keep an eye out for Sacha and her friendly smile! Best regards, G.B. ⸻ ”
