Coffeesmith Oxford — Restaurant in Oxford

Firstly, the coffee and cakes are great, there is nothing to complain about. However, I have never been kicked out of coffee after 30 minutes in my life. I do understand that during the weekend the place gets busy. But we should have been told in advance that the time there is limited. Since we were looking for a place to study and have some coffee, we would go somewhere else. The most disappointing was the fact that there were other people who were working on their laptops for much longer than we did.

EDIT: Clearly you have no clue what I actually had there. I do understand your point that espresso for £2.60 does not cover anything. However, with a tip my total was approximately £14. The staff did not say anything about the time limit on laptops until we were asked to leave. The time we were served (received our coffee) was around 1pm and we were asked to leave around 1:35 pm, which is around the 30 to 35 minutes interval. More facts, there were 2 empty tables at the front when we were leaving, a few tables for two with only one person sitting there. The table where we were sitting was table for two, hence, fully occupied.

My only problem is that apparently your staff forgot to inform us about this fact, pardon me but on the table where we were sitting there was no such information about laptops.

Lastly, I hate giving bad reviews to places like yours, since its lovely. However, instead of admitting that your staff might forgot to inform us, you actually wrote an essay about it not being your fault throwing unchecked...

During my time studying at Oxford University, Coffeesmith was, without a doubt, my favourite local coffee shop

In regards to the coffee, it is consistently well made with high quality beans. There has always been latte art as well. While not a requirement, it’s a nice touch that shows care has been put into the drink.

The standout for me at Coffeesmith was the selection of treats available that catered to a wide variety of dietary restrictions and preferences. As someone gluten free/ dairy free (who eats dairy perhaps once in a blue moon) there were CHOICES. This was unfortunately rather rare in other Oxford based cafés. There are always multiple gluten free, and gluten free + vegan options available. My personal favourites (pictured) include the carrot cake (GF + V) and the salted caramel brownie-o (GF). The photo of me includes the interior of the latter treat (please disregard the chocolate crumb around my mouth… oops).

I also want to note the kindness of the staff; I felt absolutely welcome any time I walked in. Across the board, the baristas were lovely, amicable, and just genuinely a joy to be around and with which to chat. They went above and beyond with their service, and it was truly appreciated!

I cannot recommend Coffeesmith enough. During a time when I was spending a great deal of time studying/ working, they were a little safe heaven full of delicious treats and...

Amazing coffee, and their avocado toast is best I’ve had in town! Quickly became my wife and I’s favourite cafe. We’re both fans of their latte, but the filter coffee is also great and they have options changing occasionally to get a new feel! If you’re in town, Coffeesmith is a MUST visit place (and it doesn’t hurt to visit more than once)

The owner and staff are also super friendly, and eventually memorised our order from our frequent visits.

There’s plenty seating (indoor and outdoor), cozy atmosphere and in the winter you’ll find fairy lights in their windows (to quote my wife: “very instagrammable!”)

They also have doggie treats available, so can even bring your furry friend for a visit.

You can’t go wrong if you go to...
