The Grand Cafe is the oldest coffee shop in England established in 1650 and situated in the heart of Oxford city. I have been there for late morning breakfast during my Oxford tour and had sandwiches with friends. This is a very small cafe but well decorated.
Good
The cakes are all excellent coffee and others are very well chosen and the service very pro.
Only downside is very noisy perhaps there are too many tables in a limited space.
Unlike a French tea room, the doors are open to the person without a tie
Aside from being a historic venue, as it claims to be the oldest coffee house in England, The Grand Cafe is an opulent destination with a variety of teas, desserts and regular meals as well.
The mille feuille I tasted at the cafe was not very impressive, especially since the filling was had more cheese than egg in it. It feels as if this is an unorthodox recipe.
The teas did, however, impress me. I had a go at Darjeeling, Gunpowder Green Tea (very smoky aroma), and Earl Grey. These are the only reason for which I'll return.
