The Quintessential Coffee Company Ltd

We visited here whilst on a trip to Oxford and it came up in a search for gluten free options. The owners were very friendly and told us anything could be made with gluten free bread and adapted to suit dietary requirements. The cafe was clean and food was tasty and prepared quickly and was good value. We love supporting independent businesses and we'll definitely come back here when we visit Oxford again.

Best place for baguettes in Oxford - I kid you not. They do exquisite tuna ones, or ones with bacon, and veggie ones. As well as delicious flapjacks, muffins, cakes, and paninis. They also have a good upstairs room, good coffee and take-out hot chocolate, and probably the best soft drinks in Oxford - Arizona Tea, Fentimans, and juices. 😋 Really, really hope they survive lockdown. 🤞

I highly recommend this cafe, excellent food and staff are really friendly and outgoing. The head chef of the cafe introduced some portugese treats which I highly recommend (the bolo de arroz and natas). Food is fresh and tasty, with a wide variety if food such as hot paninis, large baguettes, sanwiches jacket potatoes and so much more. Its in an exellent area right in the heart of Oxford and next to the legendary eagle and child and across the road from lamb and flag. There is plenty of space and seats, with unique paintings, photographs and quotes surrounding the rooms on the upstairs floor with great views of St Giles. I highly recommend you to go there to eat great food, great smoothies and milkshakes for a great price. There is free wifi as well, which is a bonus.
