Hipster cafe with a cycling focus found in the centre of Oxford, situated next to a bike shop. Here you’ll find more town bike than road bike but we still really enjoyed it!

Inside you’ll find great artisan coffee, breakfast and tasty lunch options, with their homemade focaccia and cakes taking centrepiece. Whilst enjoying your coffee, you can also browse the plants they have for sale.

I can recommend the unusual vegetarian sandwich (they do great focaccia) and wrap fillings, they also caker for meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans alike.
