What a great cafe find! Sustainable, social mission welcoming students, strollers, all ages, limited menu changes with time of day. I came back twice for the excellent Chicken Fricassee and white beans lunch. Easily found seatings in and outside, excellent counter service. Non accessible restrooms. There was a notice to sign a petition to save the cafe from eviction as the Church wants the space back, I hope the cafe stays in business.
Review from a couple months ago. We luckily found a table at lunch time on a weekday, but the place was packed! Order at the counter and pick up your items on a tray. Plenty of veg and some vegan options to choose from, and so many bakery items. Everything tasted fresh and good, a hearty meal at a very reasonable price.

—— Detailed Review Below ——
Caught up with a dear friend on campus and we ended up at this place after looking at a few other options.
The ambiance is (obviously) unbeatable, with the high ceilings and the historic building. The inside dining area can get crowded but thankfully we went on a day when sitting outside was still a viable option.
I had an avocado toast, served with salad, and my friend had the Oxford Vegan (which looked fantastic with the avocado toast, the sautéed mushrooms, and the giant (white kidney) beans.
My coffee (flat white), however, was disappointing, because (1) it was lukewarm, and (2) the milk was not microfoamed well enough.
Verdict: Recommended - both for the experience as well as the food but be careful with the coffees
