Brew in Oxford

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.

Love this little coffee shop, found this while staying nearby for a few weeks, staff are all helpful and very friendly and the coffee and pastries are delicious, if you're in the area check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Brew has the best coffee in Oxford! Wonderful cosy little shop, and I appreciate how careful they are with masks etc. Their coffee is consistently extremely tasty, and they have a great selection of teas too.

Extremely unfriendly and unwelcoming place. I had forgotten my mask so they asked me to cover my face with my scarf. All completely unnecessary because restrictions have been relaxed, it’s a takeaway place and I was socially distanced (over 2 meters from staff because the place has no customers). Then while I waited for my coffee they made a huge fuss because I nibbled a piece of chocolate. It felt like a concentration camp. I don’t know how they think they can speak to customers in that way and expect repeat custom for a very expensive mediocre coffee. Not from me.

Very small, very cosy independent coffeeshop, serving punchy coffee and teas, and rustic cakes. Takeaway only while Covid-19 passes through.

Nice little shop. Their flat white is the perfect size - i.e. not too big. Their guest espresso is a welcome touch. Be advised: it's takeaway only right now.

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 little coffee shop. I ordered a take away piccolo which was delicious. The lady at the counter was also really friendly. Good place, though not much seating space inside.

Small cosy café. Enjoyed my coffee and brownie. Loved the vintage feel of the place. The record player in the corner added to the touch. The only negative was my friends and I had to wait for a while to get our drinks as there was only one person in the Cafe.
