One of the worst coffees I have had in a very long time. I couldn’t wait to get to the city centre to get a decent coffee one morning and bought one from this place but then I had to throw it away as it tasted horrible. The service was nice but the coffee was rubbish.

(Edited after your response) I’m sorry but I do have the right location and I can send you my revolut statement with the exact address, time of purchase and amount. I’m not trying to damage any family businesses. I’m leaving an honest review of a coffee I had to throw away as couldn’t drink it. The service was good, the atmosphere seemed to be nice but the coffee...

Nice Coffee, Lovely place to sit and relax. We stopped by here for a coffee first time today, it's a very small cafe right on the edge of the bridge, there is additional seating downstairs but the best place to sit is at one of the handful of tables right by the river.

The location of this cafe and the small size makes it feel very intimate and being by the river was very relaxing. I would definitely recommend visiting this one.

I tried the dirty chai as I've never had it before and it was really good, the spices and espresso mixed had a sweet bitter flavour and it smelled great. Will go...

I don't know how I had never been in this cafe before!

What a charming, delightful cafe. I had a great veggie toastie with plenty of cheese, an excellent flat white and most importantly a nice, friendly, cosy vibe.

Laptops are allowed upstairs and outside you can enjoy being right by the river. The cakes looked good and, hallelujah, they aren't obscenely expensive like most other cafes (I.e. Barefoot/Gail's et al).

This is probably my new favourite in Oxford, and nice to be somewhat out of the zoo that is central Oxford in summer.

Thank you for a...

Couldn't recommend this place enough. Perfect coffee, almond croissant on point. Amazing location and such a nice vibe with great outdoor with views to the canal. There's space for laptops and they've got two indoor floors, so plenty of space. Super friendly staff with some Spanish produce as the owner is Spanish (I think I saw tortilla at the weekend?). They've got a beautiful loyalty coffee card which I was happy to get as a souvenir :) Will definitely come back when we're back in Oxford and try their sambos.

I was fortunate to be close to The Paper Boat Cafe during a month-long stay in Oxford over the summer. The location and views are enchanting, every person working there is warm and friendly, and the food and drinks are exceptional. I visited almost every day during my stay, often trying something new, and everything I tried was fantastic. It's worth a visit for anyone in Oxford and especially if you want to find a relaxing spot away from the bustle of High Street.

Highly recommend The Paper Boat Café to anyone visiting or living in Oxford who enjoys independent and original places for coffee and snacks. One of our regular haunts. When it's warm, it is very picturesque to sit in the outside area overlooking the river, and inside downstairs is great for catching up with friends or alone, at any time of year. Cosy venue, with friendly staff, great quality coffee and food, set in an original boat-themed decor.
