Lovely friendly village shop…read more ellielou has been unlucky with the coffee shop as I've greatly enjoyed cups of coffee and a cake there. Like her I make special detours every now and then just because it is such a nice place and I've managed to have a quiet coffee while the children have run around playing. I've not been recently but there also used to be a community computer for general use and a bookcase of secondhand books for sale.

This is a wonderful commuity run village store. Sometimes in the summer, I made the extra journey…read morehere 1. to support the locals and 2. the let the kids run wild in the play area for a while. The store doesn't have a huge variety of stock but you can get what you need even if you are limited on the brand. They also have a coffee shop however when I have been it has not been open.

This post office has been opened in conjunction with a pharmacy, though both seem to run…read moreindependantly of one another. The pharmacy does have some envelopes, boxes etc for your posting needs. The staff at the post office itself are helpful, especially regarding queries about sending items abroad (as I found myself!). It's an ideal alternative to the St Aldate's post office if you are on the North side of town, as it's usually far less busy.

Let me get my caveat in at the start: I have a real hatred of post offices, mainly due to years…read morespent queuing in a small town one full of sceaming babies and old men falling asleep in the queue. On this front, the Oxford post office is a relief. It's a bit more peaceful and there's more sense of urgency: the staff here seem to get it that people are there to get a chore done, not for a friendly chat. That said, they're still wonderfully polite and patient. Definitely not a job I would want. Things I like: - The building - nineteenth century arches, coat of arms, typical Oxford grandeur. - The post box outside - okay, so it's not the traditional red pillar, but it takes you back a century or two. - The Post Office currency exchange rate - one of the best you can get. - The stamp machine outside Things I don't like: - The queues - yes, most people go at lunchtime, so why not put more staff on the tills then? - The generality - same queue whether you want to post one envelope or twenty parcels; pick up a pension or become a millionaire in some obscure currency. Conclusion: A necessary evil that could be far worse.

Worst post office. Staff have no customer service skills, are extremely rude and the place is very…read morepoorly organised. After being there a while and there being no signs on the counter I asked if there quick drop counter was open or not, I got blanked by the staff member, totally, I asked a few times, I then asked if I was invisible, still not even eye contact. I went up to him and said, can you please not act like I am invisible to you and just answer me, he started having a go at me that he could not as was serving a customer. All I needed was a yes or no, he could find the time to have a go at me but not answer my question. Clearly no customer training and people are treated like they are not human beings.

Though it is in a garage this isn't just a garage shop. This shop also stocks everything you need…read moreif you can't get to a supermarket or can't be bothered with the hassle of a big supermarket - everything from food through picnic plates to hair clips. The Post Office checks passports and does car licenses as well as the more mundane stuff. And you can park - which must make it an option for people in North Oxford who have lost their post offices. Just don't go in torrential rains (see photo)!

I use this post office at least twice a week, the staff are very friendly, even when I go in with a…read morebagful of parcels to be weighed. You can get everything from a pint of milk to a bottle of vodka here as well of course as petrol from the filling station. An added bonus to the post office is that it is open all day on a saturday unlike most in the area.

I telephoned the manager with a complaint yesterday and was told to pop in today. To add to my annoyance he wasn't going to be there until after 4pm which he had not told me and i had the misfortune to incur the same member of staff who continued to argue saying he was right and the post office website was wrong!
