The Best Restaurants In Oxford - Oxford - The Infatuation

"Whether you’re looking for a 3pm pick-me-up in the form of an iced cinnamon bun or an entire carrot cake loaf to take to a friend’s house, Barefoot is the spot. This Jericho bakery and cafe is all about the sweet treats. The cakes change regularly but you’re likely to find things like loaves of chocolate and raspberry cake, mammoth slices of chocolate peanut butter and banana cake, and pots of tea that encourage serious dilly-dallying. We like to come here when there’s a catch-up to be had, because nothing pairs better with Barefoot’s excellent, not-too-sweet cakes than a lengthy sit-down that doesn’t end until closing. We’re also fans of their North Parade Avenue location where the cakes come in cupcake form and the seating is a little more intimate." - rianne shlebak

Excellent cakes, probably best 'English' cakes in Oxford, and very generous portions! Always a welcoming atmosphere and a nice place to sit and chat. Tea could be a bit stronger but then a lot of people, Americans especially, like tea really weak nowadays

Walked past and this seemed cute but quite disappointed in flavour for price. Avoid the cakes and coffee here, cakes are very old/overpriced (~£5.50!) and it’s well-known amongst local students that the coffee barefoot serves is really, really bad. The only good thing are the brownies to be honest. But definitely would pick another cafe with toilets and more space, given how many good ones there are in Oxford.

A very unique selection of cakes, most of which taste great as long as you buy it in the earlier hours of the morning instead of late in the day, when they’ve been sitting out for a while. Coffee was also good and you can tell the barista was well trained and knew what they were doing. Service was par and it seemed like plenty of people from the Jericho area get their morning brew here. Recommended!

Lovely staff and good service but the cakes were surprisingly dry and the vegan cake almost had no flavour. Having the drinks inside to be with glass rather than plastic will make it better. I love their brownies but also having some outside seatings in the garden will be nicer as well.

Unfortunately at OVER £5 per slice (despite the fact you claim to use “essence not flavouring”🙄🤣) I had what could of been considered a fire hazard of a cake. It was so dry and bland I also noticed that it says on the stamps per slice/coffee but is now per transaction. Back to the dry cake, it was all crusty and hard on the outside. THE SLICES ARE SO THIN WHEN YOU HAVE A SLICE THE END TIP FALLS OF AS THERE IS NO STRUCTURE TO THE SLICE. 🫣 appalling avoid.

Disappointing. DRY. TASTELESS. Too much sugar. Awful cake. Ordered a cake for my partners birthday however it’s not the cake pictured on the website (note: lack of coconut shavings, frosting and general coverage). Love the brand but disappointed with the result. Refund offered however it rather misses the point where it’s my partners birthday today. I need a cake! Quality; not good enough. Is the cake received the same as the one pictured on your website - no. There is no argument to be had. Poor. [Ref: response - delivery is not relevant. A phone call is also not multiple times - you should have followed up by way of text or email]. Your response and comms have been obnoxious.

Staff are alway friendly and nice. It's a cute little shop. However, this place is overpriced for the quality you get. A plain croissants should not cost £4.20 for a takeaway. It makes the shop unaffordable to a lot of people. Cakes are a bit too oily for our taste. The coffee is okay, not the best nor the worst. This place could be a lot better.
