Art Cafe

Cute little café with a large range of options from breakfast to burgers and steaks. I had The French panini (bacon, Brie, and cranberry) which, at £4.50 for eat in and £3.75 for takeaway I believe, was delicious and filling at an amazing value. The area of the shop is small but has two extra floors for seating and each floor is cutely decorated with art. The café has free wifi which is easy to connect to, making it a great place to study. The entire place has a great and relaxing atmosphere and is a hidden jewel amongst the slew of awful eateries in Oxford.

Love their art exhibitions and friendly atmosphere. The place wasn’t very busy in the afternoon but it usually gets quite busy. At the counter you can pick up loyalty card to get your 10^th drink 4 free. There’s no wifi password:) Great choise of gluten free sandwiches, salads and pasta; I’ve tried delicious desserts, smoothies and coffees. Prices are ok if it comes to city centre — £3,5 smoothie, £2,75 iced coffee

The coffee here is good and reasonably price, although the size is modest. The food looks good and is reasonable if taking away, but almost a pound more to eat in.
We were here on a Sunday morning, and there was plenty of space. The staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful — in a short period of time we witnessed them helping both elderly people and a mother with push chair, on each occasion without prompting.
The location is also good, although there are certainly cafes with more beautiful views than the county hall and central library if one is visiting Oxford and wants an ‘experience’.

I love coming here to study or hang out with friends. The coffee is pretty good, but I would not recommend the chai latte. Unlimited free wifi is a major plus and the décor is fun!

Exploring Oxford as a new local, interior, staff and exhibition are all great additions to the good atmosphere.
The coffee is of a good standard, and they can do a good range of drinks. For coffee dons however, it’s not amazing; a little overkill on the brewing and good (not outstanding) bean selection.

I came across this café by googling local cafes in Oxford and by the other nice reviews, I decided to try it out. It’s a tiny little place so it’s easy to walk right passed it, so don’t miss it! The lime green signs help though! They offer a nice range of soups, sandwiches, bagels, breakfast (served all day), pastries and coffees/​teas. The staff was really attentive and nice. I ordered the breakfast pancakes and a small chai latte. The prices were good in my eyes, both came out to £6.65. It’s 3 stories, so you have to walk upstairs for seating and since I went around lunch time, I had to go to the third floor which was empty. I enjoyed my meal and the free wifi! The pancakes were yummy and the fruit it came with (blueberries & strawberries) were fresh. I noticed other food people had ordered and it all looked delicious. Would definitely recommend as a place to catch up, study or whatever you fancy!

I was on a day trip to Oxford on Monday with a friend and we were wandering around the beautiful and very academic city going to museums, parks, bars and cafes. I did not want to go to any chain café, so I looked up some cafes on Unilocal and the name (Art Café) itself caught my fancy. This beautiful café is right in the middle of Oxford City Center and will definitely catch your attention because of the minimalist yet simple white and bright green colors outside.
When we walked in, we thought it was small but then realized that there were 3 floors to this small independent café — Impressive! They have a great collection of fresh fruit smooties, I had a berry blast (raspberry, strawberry and blackberry) smoothie and my friend went for a Mango, Banana and Passion Fruit one. I have to say I did not pick the best one because of the million seeds that was there in mine. The café has free wifi and is decorated with beautiful photographs and art on the walls. The seating arrangement is very simple yet nice, I can imagine this would be a great place for students to come and do some work — fresh break from the library for sure. The price was not too high either, 7.50 for two smoothies is pretty decent.
Verdict: If you are visiting oxford, do stop by here for a coffee and nice break!

The best hot chocolate I ever had was at this café in Oxford. I stopped by here the first day I arrived for my 4 month stay in Oxford. After that first day I was hooked. I came back almost every day. I always got the the hot chocolate with a chicken sandwich. They had free wifi, so I would come and write my papers here. The staff Fernando, John, and Alice I remember so well. They were some of the kindest people I met while abroad. I really love this coffee shop. Plus they carry some gluten free products! I highly suggest checking this place out.

I was at the City Centre first day I arrived at Oxford, running errands like a headless chicken. Having just stepped off the plane, I was craving some real food. Cue Art Café (formerly known as Green’s Café?) This place is tiny when you go in, but it’s like a hidden treasure! The menu and choices of sandwiches were overwhelming, but I saw the Bacon, Brie and Cranberry panini (served hot) and I knew I wanted it. The first bite was an amalgam of creamy, savory and sweet goodness. Heaven. I guess something I’ve learned is that people don’t look at you weird here if you’re chomping down on a sandwich while you’re walking around town, which is perfect because that’s exactly what I was doing. Stuck in panini mecca. Next up, I definitely want to try their traditional English breakfast some time, which is served all-​day, everyday!
