Brew

Wonderful independent coffee shop! The kind of artisan coffee shops you find in trendy locales in big cities. The coffee was fantastic. My double espresso was rich and fruity, with no hint of bitterness. Whereas my husband's preference of latte, the coffee was beautifully blended with milk - to the point where I (a diehard black coffee drinker) thought it enjoyable. They serve a few cakes (we had blueberry), and some cold drinks too. They also sell a range of coffee equipment (coffee grinders, cups, filters, and of course aero presses!) And I spotted some lovely coffee cups I almost bought. With so many coffee shops cropping up in Oxford, it's nice to find one that is stripped back and focused on high quality coffee (rather than interior design and clever, yet annoying, chairs). It would have been nice to have our coffees in the shop, though it didn't feel like we should! No chairs, but a bench along the window. Hopefully they'll add a couple of small chairs and a small table at some point! Good place to grab a coffee whilst visiting the knitting shop. Would be better if you could natter about knitting with friends in here after going to said shop!

Had two different experiences at brew so one off star from 5. I loved that there were 3 different pour over coffees and batch brew as well with a ok price for the pour over. Got some coffee as well and when I first visited the male staff was really lovely and we spoke a lot about different coffees and helped me choose the best coffee based on my taste. The second time I visited the female staff was not very friendly and felt a bit like we were nuisance then we were the customer so the customer service this time let us down. We understood there used to be some seatings? But there seems to be none and wished there were some outside seatings or upstairs? So that we could enjoy the coffee. The coffee was really lovely but having some other brewing techniques could be even nicer to try different techniques. Some student discount or point cards or if you buy coffee beans you can get one coffee for free could have been nice gesture as well.

Small cosy café. Enjoyed my coffee and brownie. Loved the vintage feel of the place. The record player in the corner added to the touch. The only negative was my friends and I had to wait for a while to get our drinks as there was only one person in the Cafe.

Decent coffee, with small selection of pastries and cakes, as well as coffee beans and loose leaf tea to buy. Not much in way of seating so a cafe to takeaway vs sit in.

Was very excited to be back in town and get a Brew coffee. Was very disappointed to be given what tasted of bitter water and over frothed milk. Couldn’t finish it - had to throw away. Very upsetting.

Very nice little coffee shop. I ordered a take away piccolo which was delicious. The lady at the counter was also really friendly. Good place, though not much seating space inside.

Good coffee and really nice staff. Very relaxing atmosphere. A little small but cosy.

Absolutely amazing coffee. The staff are very knowledgeable and the drinks have been pure awesome.
