Perfect for students or those traveling on a budget. It is my favorite place to eat in Oxford and has an lot of different options. All of the ingredients are fresh and the bread is made daily. Their sandwiches and paninis are are my favorite I've ever had. They do not skimp on the meat and are very affordable. The portions are large and it is not unusual for one sandwich to make two meals (of course this is coming from a student). They are very efficient and get your order to you quickly. There is no seating, you go up to the counter to order and they bring it out to you. Cannot recommend enough!- Meal type

Such a great little spot! The sandwiches are always fresh, tasty, and full of flavour. The team is super friendly and make you feel welcome every time. Even when it’s busy, they’re quick and efficient. It was one of my favourite places to grab lunch in Oxford — highly recommend!

Great, affordable, tasty, quick lunch spot. Go just before 12 to avoid queues. Options are really varied, and the staff are super nice.

A must try in Oxford. The olive ciabatta was very fluffy, and the satay chicken I ordered was very filling (a little sweet tho). It's good for a quick meal, although there is a queue, it will be ready in a few minutes.

One of my favourites in Oxford. Absolutely fantastic sandwich, ciabattas, paninis, rolls, cakes, etc. with a great choice of fillings. The place is perfect for breakfast and lunch. The ingredients are very fresh and tasty. While the queue can get very long during the university terms as it is very popular with students, the service is quite fast and doesn't take very long.
very friendly and fast service despite the long queue. menu is extensive, from sweet pastries to savoury hot bread. price is definitely reasonable. 6 star for this place!

Used to come here all the time as a student. Food is fantastic and the guys who run it are very quick and professional. Hadn’t been back for 3-4 years or so and the gentleman who rings up your order and always has a kind smile recognized me and was as generous of spirit as ever. Made me feel very welcome back in Oxford!

This place always was and still is the best. Used to love getting a snack here as a child and it's still great. Can't go wrong with their extensive menu or friendly service.

I don't usually eat muffins. But something compelled me to buy the white chocolate raspberry muffin and it was the best one I've ever had. Also really sweet old timey bakery atmosphere.

I came here because of my friend’s recommendation. Ordered chicken satay and Mexican chicken in ciabatta and olive ciabatta. I must say they were amazing, and different (in a positive way)! They also have many options such as vege, falafel, tuna, salmon and egg. The queue is usually long but don’t worry, because their service is very fast. Just make sure you make up your mind about what to order before you reach your turn. Price is student-friendly, the portion is quite big. Only chicken is halal. I really thankful to my friend for recommending this place. Definitely will come back again for great sandwiches in Oxford!- Service

Lovely sandwich shop with generous amount of filling and bread!! I love that we get to choose whoch bread we want and there are so many choices for filling that are all very reasonable price :)!! It will be great of the bread could be warm as well but other than that all good :)! If they can make some non sugar deserts I think it will be even better :)!
Really good food, very fast and efficient! Very big portion
