"Make sure you visit G & D's!" was probably the most common refrain you'd hear from OSAP alums…read morebefore visiting Oxford. At least, those of them from Mississippi State always said this -- perhaps because, as a major AG school, many of us take the production of good ice cream very seriously. We're not called a cow college for nothing. :) G & D's, of course, refers to George and Davis. And, indeed, they have very, very good ice cream. I tend to keep it simple with chocolate, and theirs was always stellar. They have a couple locations around town so you can pick the one most convenient to you. It's a very popular place with a loyal following of students, residents, and tourists alike, and definitely worth giving a try.

George & Danver is a popular ice cream joint in Oxford recommended by a friend and the locals. We…read morecame to check it out, and we enjoyed the treat, though didn't find anything especially remarkable. For flavors, we quite liked the "black beauty" (blackberries). The others were just ok. Overall a fine stop, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Shaken Stephens is another of those great little milkshake/smoothie bars which seem to be so…read morepopular at the moment. Don't let its lack of originality put you off though - this does what it does exceedingly well and you won't be disappointed. It pretty much just does drinks and although there are a few seats and lots of standing room, it's designed mainly as a takeaway shop. The drinks come in 2 main varieties: super sweet and sickly treats and super fruity health boosts. The milkshakes can involve any manner of gooey delights - you pick what you want from a huge list on a board on the wall, then watch as the staff chuck everything into a blender to create heaven in a cup. And I mean anything: whatever the chocolate bar, you name it. Then add in some ice cream, sauces, sweets, toppings, pretty much anything you can think of. I had marshmallow, Dream bar and ice cream. It was good. No, I couldn't finish it. If you're feeling a bit healthier, there are all manner of fruit smoothies and juices, which are all freshly made on the spot. There are suggested combinations with explanations of what they do for you (Eg: help you get over a cold/give you an energy burst/make you feel lustful) and you can get additional healthy shots of things that are good for you. But I challenge you to go in just for a smoothie - the milkshakes are definitely where it's at...

This place is POPPING!!!…read more It's sooo busy all the time though! Anyway good service good prices. They make their own ice cream. And I can't remember the name of the flavor but it's their house flavor it's divine. Recommend it 10/10.

I dare say you can also buy things more useful for boats there but I've never had the need to, unfortunately (I'd love to have a boat). I think you can hire boats from here as well - definitely rowing boats and perhaps punts. (I know the Oxford River Cruise people were intending to start renting out punts but I don't know, given the awful rain of last summer whether they actually put their plan into action).

When…read morethere's only enough time to do so much but you're hungry, you'll be in and out of the Alternative Tuck Shop in no time. The shop is TINY and there's only room for a few people in there at a time. I suggest grabbing a menu outside and then deciding before you make it inside. I had the Chicken Curry sandwich and it was so delicious I dove straight in and didn't even take a photo. Portions are generous. One thing you should plan ahead for is a place to sit if you choose not to walk and eat. Unfortunately, the Alternative Tuck Shop doesn't have any seating indoors or outdoors. Highly recommend this spot!!

Inside the tight quarters, the choices were well marked so ordering and payment was easy enough. After ordering they bring it out to you back outside. The street wasn't busy so people spilled out to the street. I can how this is probably both a student and tourist haven.
