The location is so good, which is at the centre of the Oxford. Art Cafe has very good breakfast. The Cafe tastes good. The most important thing is that the environment is so nice and you can see the people go in and out of the Westgate shopping center. They also put beautiful decorations in the restaurant. The restaurant has two floors and we like the top one
Lovely little find in Oxford. Really quick and attentive service, and the food was absolutely stunning. Really great value for money, and dealt with my friend’s gluten allergy. Would definitely come back
Amazing family/team and fresh products! So cute and yummy! All my adventures around the world on TikTok @therealfoodietraveller
When we came to Oxford on Thursday, we stopped at this little cafe that I've been wanting to stop at for a little while now, because A. It's an independent business and B. I was under the impression that it was going to be a nice welcoming coffee shop! We got our coffees from the little kiosk and we sat outside under the umbrellas, and the seats had furry rugs on them to keep us warm! Me and my mum loved it, it's always a good little find at Oxford. Think the next time I come to Oxford I will go to this cafe ☕☕
I could eat their goat cheese all day every day! Great, quick service and excellent panini and oat milk latte. Sit outside for excellent people-watching on a busy pedestrian shopping corridor (Westgate shopping center). Not to be missed if you’re visiting Oxford.
I visited Art Cafe, and it was so good. It is a very beautiful place with lovely decorations and a really nice atmosphere. The environment felt warm, relaxing, and welcoming. I really enjoyed spending time there, and everything looked clean and well presented. It is a perfect place to sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Oxford because it is such a nice and enjoyable place.
