Reviews of Brew

Wonderful independent coffee shop! The kind of artisan coffee shops you find in trendy locales in big cities. The coffee was fantastic. My double espresso was rich and fruity, with no hint of bitterness. Whereas my husband's preference of latte, the coffee was beautifully blended with milk - to the point where I (a diehard black coffee drinker) thought it enjoyable. They serve a few cakes (we had blueberry), and some cold drinks too. They also sell a range of coffee equipment (coffee grinders, cups, filters, and of course aero presses!) And I spotted some lovely coffee cups I almost bought. With so many coffee shops cropping up in Oxford, it's nice to find one that is stripped back and focused on high quality coffee (rather than interior design and clever, yet annoying, chairs). It would have been nice to have our coffees in the shop, though it didn't feel like we should! No chairs, but a bench along the window. Hopefully they'll add a couple of small chairs and a small table at some point! Good place to grab a coffee whilst visiting the knitting shop. Would be better if you could natter about knitting with friends in here after going to said shop!

Had two different experiences at brew so one off star from 5. I loved that there were 3 different pour over coffees and batch brew as well with a ok price for the pour over. Got some coffee as well and when I first visited the male staff was really lovely and we spoke a lot about different coffees and helped me choose the best coffee based on my taste. The second time I visited the female staff was not very friendly and felt a bit like we were nuisance then we were the customer so the customer service this time let us down. We understood there used to be some seatings? But there seems to be none and wished there were some outside seatings or upstairs? So that we could enjoy the coffee. The coffee was really lovely but having some other brewing techniques could be even nicer to try different techniques. Some student discount or point cards or if you buy coffee beans you can get one coffee for free could have been nice gesture as well.

Coffee that rivals the premium haunts in London. I can't go long without enjoying a Brew, even though it's tucked in and out of the way. It's smooth, rich and decadent. The baristas have a real knack for ensuring every brew is just as good as the last. Don't miss Doughnut Thursdays - they're a real treat!

Best coffee in Oxford, believe me I’ve tried. What Arthur has curated here is an absolute gem of a coffee shop. Consistently fantastic coffee. Wonderful baristas with a wealth of knowledge. A great range of beans & loose leaf teas for sale, plus a load of lovely home brewing accessories. It’s a bit out of town, but the leafy streets of Jericho are beautiful enough anyway and the pilgrimage is always well rewarded.

The perfect coffee shop does exist! On a lovely alley of independent shops, serving outstanding coffee. There is a selection of cakes, and the staff are very friendly. To put the icing on the cake a turntable playing good music. It isn't pretentious or "for hipsters only" though, well worth a visit by all. Came every day after finding it whilst on a stay in Oxford and wasn't disappointed.

Very nice coffee, both made on site and sold as beans - I've bought a few bags here. Atmosphere is nice, some nice touches in the decor. My criticism is the lack of WiFi for customers - normally this would be a good thing as it prevents people hogging tables all day on their macbooks, but sadly the students are still able to connect to university WiFi. This means I can't get much work done but I also have to look at other people working on macbooks (it always is). In the end I tethered to my phone I can do that anywhere.
