Best carrot cake and sandwiches in Oxford. Why the line though? This is my turf.

The most cozy and local take-away restaurant I’ve ever found in Oxford city. With a good price you will get good quality of many alternatives to make your own meal. Absolutely was delicious 🤌🏽🔥🤤

The best sandwich shop on the planet. Went there for the spicy panini every day while I was staying at Mansfield College. Couldn’t be more thankful for such an amazing group of people!

Best sandwich shop on planet earth!!! I came with my boyfriend upon his recommendation (oxford regular) and I had the best sandwich ever. I need them to expand to the rest of UK! I had sausage, Brie and cranberry sauce which was incredible as well as the best chicken samosa ever. 10/10

A small shop with efficient staff delivering quick friendly customer service. Ordered a halal chicken vegetable panini - yum.

Just moved to Oxford and this place was recommended to me.
Olive ciabatta was absolutely beautiful
I got there around 12.05 and there was already a long queue, but they are very fast and the wait isn't that long. Will be back again soon to taste other options, both hot and cold!

very friendly and fast service despite the long queue. menu is extensive, from sweet pastries to savoury hot bread. price is definitely reasonable. 6 star for this place!

A must try in Oxford. The olive ciabatta was very fluffy, and the satay chicken I ordered was very filling (a little sweet tho). It's good for a quick meal, although there is a queue, it will be ready in a few minutes.

I came here because of my friend’s recommendation. Ordered chicken satay and Mexican chicken in ciabatta and olive ciabatta. I must say they were amazing, and different (in a positive way)! They also have many options such as vege, falafel, tuna, salmon and egg. The queue is usually long but don’t worry, because their service is very fast. Just make sure you make up your mind about what to order before you reach your turn. Price is student-friendly, the portion is quite big. Only chicken is halal. I really thankful to my friend for recommending this place. Definitely will come back again for great sandwiches in Oxford!

One of my favourites in Oxford.
Absolutely fantastic sandwich, ciabattas, paninis, rolls, cakes, etc. with a great choice of fillings. The place is perfect for breakfast and lunch. The ingredients are very fresh and tasty.
While the queue can get very long during the university terms as it is very popular with students, the service is quite fast and doesn't take very long.
