I wasn't hungry but wanted something warm on a cold, on-and-off rainy day; so I only ordered a savory cheese and red onion scone. It was okay - not too good but not bad either. Cashier manning the counter was friendly. Interiors are part modern and bright (in the dining area where pastries were shown) and part a-bit-old (in the other side of the ground floor as well as upstairs). It looks inviting from the outside.

This is a nice cafe in a lovely old building in a quieter street behind the manic shopping centre…read moreof Oxford. If you have been shopping in Cornmarket, the Clarendon Centre or Queen Street then it is worth finding your way to New Inn Hall Street just to get away from the crowds. They serve Fair Trade coffees and teas. They provide take aways and deliver (by bike judging from the bike trailer parked in the shop). If you are eating in there is a choice of upstairs or downstairs, tables and chairs or a comfy sofa. And there is some sort of wi-fi available but my laptop doesn't do fancy stuff like that so I can't really comment. This isn't an accessible place. It is an old building and there are steps down as you go in and some of the seating is upstairs. If you like this cafe check out their other cafe in the indoor market and Broad Street (the seating is upstairs) or their takeaway in Little Clarendon Street.

If you've been to any of the Mortons branches around town, you're probably familiar with their…read moredelicious range of sandwiches (paninis, baguettes, wraps) and cakes. Well, imagine if you could get that without even having to leave your office! No queues, no battling with midday shoppers and tourists. I must say, this is a brilliant idea of Mortons and it's just a shame that they're not all around the country! The basic idea: - Choose a platter of sandwiches from their range (eg: vegetarian, seafood, best-selling). - Specifiy the sort of bread you'd like and the quantity. - Alternatively, choose individual baguettes or wraps. - Add crisps, fruit or cake if you fancy it (I recommend the cake!) - again, you choose the type and quantity. - Add drinks if you want. - Place the order before 2pm the day before. They're very friendly if you want an unusual order or to specify something, and they'll usually do all they can to meet your request. - Await your platters and enjoy! As with everything, there are a few catches. There's a minimum order of £30, but that's really not much if you're hosting a meeting or sharing lunch between a few colleagues. They mainly deliver inside the Oxford ring road, but can make exceptions.

Were so kind to replace my spilled drink. The only negative was my daughter said the music they played was AI and she was pretty unhappy with that. If true a bit ironic given the name. Also we got a comically large straw, which was quite uncomfortable to use until we went and saw they do in fact have regular sized straws. Spoon was also overly sized and awkward. Just a bit of silliness, nothing too problematic.

We had just passed vaults and garden but kept walking since their prices were sky high! Luckily, he brought me here and I have to say I plan on frequenting this cafe quite often! It's on high street near Magdalen, so very close to the library! I ordered a mozzarella, tomato, and basil panini which cost an affordable £5.95 compared to some other cafes charging £12+ (yikes!) it came out super warm, oozing melted cheese, with a side of salad and crisps. It was the perfect quick bite while it lightly rained outside. Love the cafe, highly recommend.

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!!

The staff are friendly and provide extremely good service. However, the breakfast was horrible.

I don't know about the other food, which may very well all be delicious, but the English breakfast is a no-go for me. The 2 stars are for the wonderful service and friendly staff.
