QL in Oxford

This was a very underwhelming meal. I ordered the Nicoise salad and it was basically mesclun with canned tuna dumped on top, plus a few small bits of tomatoes and chunks of cucumbers plus some avocado slices. The key elements to Nicoise include green beans, halved hard boiled eggs, and *Nicoise olives*, along with Nicoise dressing, but none of those were on this salad. I had to ask for dressing and then the only choices were French, Caesar, or oil and vinegar (that you apply separately yourself). How they pass this off as a Nicoise salad is a mystery. Be forewarned: you have to take the menu description literally. Except it just says tuna with olives & avocado, and I didn't even get the olives! What a ripoff. They clearly capitalize on their claim that they're the oldest coffeehouse in Europe, and that's not even true; the establishment across the street pre-dates them. Stay away.

The place is nice and very well placed, but the food is disgusting. We ordered bagel with scrumbled eggs and salmon and the bagel was so dry we barely couldn't cut it with the knife, the scrambled egg was a thick mass of egg that made the whole thing so big we had to cut it for eating it.Besides, the waiter was unwelcoming and we didn't feel ok being there.It wasn't our first time, and some others have been alright because we ordered english breakfast and the staff was different, but the place has changed after pandemic and I truly don't recommend it anymore

The full English breakfast is really good, the staff are nice! Decent pricing. Also, great coffee

Historic and delicious with friendly, inexpensive, down-to-earth service in an extraordinary location. We really enjoyed the Greek Salad, Turkish Ciabatta, and Turkish Coffee with Turkish Delight for dessert. If it's Europe's oldest coffee shop, even the better - but it'd be a great spot even if not.

It's a very well located, cute coffee shop. They say it's the oldest coffee house here.Lots of seating space. Option of sitting outside as well. Excellent service. I wouldn't say it's cheap but it's not too expensive either. Costs pretty much the same as all other coffee houses nearby.

Best breakfast in town. And the perfect place to experience Oxford, right from the heart of the place. Check out their turkish breakfast. Great 2-seaters at the window to just have a hot beverage and read a book.

The place did not come up to any expectations. We sit for a tea and a quick bite, but the food was far below the average and too overpriced for the quality and quantity. I ordered a burger as a safe option (supposed to be the shop's highlight) and came out to be the worst burger ever had. It was just a beef patty between two 1/3 of a panini with no sauce, cheese or salad or any other topping. Just a patty between 2 breads, which was also over-cooked on the outside and still raw and watery on the inside with a very poor texture; obviously straight from the freezer onto the grill. When I kindly asked the staff to speak to the kitchen to see if anything can be done, I received what is shown in the pictures below. Disrespectful at least and disgusting to be served that over-burned thing, thrown on a plate. I would not even give that to a starving stray animal. Gladly the manager was willing to scratch it off the bill. The fish and chips my friend selected, also very poor, shoggy on the outside, dry on the inside, tasteless, with undercooked chips. At least the tea was potable. Steer clear of it, or at least of you're brave enough, visit it but don't get anything from the above. Stay with some tea. Hope the place has a word with the kitchen, because this behavior kills the great attitude of the rest of the staff working there.

It is located at the tourist area just great for a break. Environment is comfortable with hand writing ‘oldest coffee shop in Europe’ on walls. Food is too salty. Drink is ok. Toilet is clean. Quite pricey!

One among the oldest coffee shops in the world which opened in 1654. The feeling of that is what attracted us. Tried their Turkish coffee which claims to be the best, but in my opinion was nothing special. Definitely haved tastes many best ones in the Gulf. The ambiance is ok and give the feel. The prices are slightly on the higher side, maybe due to the long standing history. Can definitely give a try to have a try. The fish n chips and tropical smoothie was ok.

I went on a walking tour that introduced me to th oldest coffee house in Europe. Of course I had to visit and have a coffee here. I didn't have an ordinary coffee, but a Turkish coffee with Turkish Delight. I also ordered a strawberry cheesecake which was probably the best cheesecake I have ever eaten. The cheesecake was super creamy and smooth and the perfect amount. The coffee was strong and so yummy. The service was excellent and very quick, I didn't wait for more than 10 minutes for my order. The waitress was friendly but I was in and out, I didn't have a good interaction with her. All in all, this place as lovely decor, yummy cakes and strong coffee. There's not more you could ask for.
