The Handle Bar Cafe and Kitchen in Oxford

Had brunch at this place, the food was decently priced for what it is. The outside sitting was pretty good as well. Would recommend.

A very interesting concept for a restaurant in Oxford but indeed relevant given the city is popular for cycling. We visited for brunch today and it was great. The menu had a variety of choices for everyone including my wife who has gluten and lactose intolerances.I want with the full breakfast and we also had pancakes along with smoothies and Turmeric lattes. All food was prepared well and was delicious. The pricing wasn't bad either and was in par or lower than other brunch places in town. Highly recommended if you're in the area for brunch.

I came here while visiting Oxford around 11am on a Friday.The restaurant is rather small, there were a couple tables empty and it was rather busy but we got sat immediately.Unfortunately it appeared as only one woman was tending all of the tables in the restaurant but she moved pretty well.Within a reasonable time we got our order taken, and drinks came right away.Our food came shortly after, we ordered the HB full house and the Fava toast black eyed beans.Both meals were absolutely outstanding.According to the menu, everything is made from scratch in house and that really truly shows.The flavor and texture were great, and the food felt healthy and satisfying, and very nutrient dense. We left feeling like we had one of the best meals we could get on our trip so far. The Handle Bar is definitely a must visit spot on your trip to Oxford, in my opinion. I will go back next time I am in Oxford.The server was also very friendly and helpful as well.

The restaurant is cute and at the city center and the service was very friendly. We waited for our food quite some time so when it arrived the bread was soggy and the poached egg was dry. The coconut pancakes were delicious. The waitress removed the service charge from our receipt as a gesture for the wait. Overall it’s quite good!

We wanted to find an independent cafe which catered for me (vegan and gluten free) my hubby (omnivore) and would take dogs. We were not disappointed with The Handle Bar.My hubby had the lamb steak which he said was delicious and I had the puy lentil and beetroot burger (they swapped the burger bun for gluten free bread). It was so nice to have a really tasty burger that wasn't pretending to be meat.It was snowing on and off the day we visited Oxford, so we nipped back in for tea and cake to warm up and avoid a snow shower! The banana and chocolate brownie (vegan and gluten free) and rhubarb and rosemary cake hit the spot, along with a very good chai masala (I had oat milk chai latte at lunch which was lovely).I would suggest you make an effort to visit The Handle Bar🚲

Lovely place for Sunday brunch. Very busy, but friendly, and attentive staff. Good coffee.

Delicious brunch, really recommend it for a place that serves locally sourced and slightly quirky dishes. It was very popular so I'm glad we booked but the turnaround of both food and tables is rapid so you won't queue for long. It felt very 'Oxford' to me, would definitely go back.

Spent the day in Oxford from london and was met with such friendly staff and great coffee! It even had a smile 😝 the lady was so lovely and gave me a delicious brownie for my bday! Will definitely be back 🙂

One of my favourite places to go for a delicious brunch. Though it's recommend to make a reservation, the staff are kind enough to help you in case you don't and they aren't too busy. It gets tricky on weekends. I first came here to try their take on the Full English Breakfast and that was absolutely delicious, especially because they prepare their own beans. I returned once more to try their Fava Toast and Hemp Milk Cappuccino. Absolutely amazing!

The pancakes and sweet potato fries were quite tasty (though a bit sweet for the pancakes). The avocado toast was ok, the bread was a bit too soft and overall it lacked a bit of taste. Overall, it it is a great place for Brunch (also during the week!) and I recommend it! The staff is friendly too :)
