Visited Ole & Steen for breakfast, and it was brilliant. It's a Danish bakery and serves a multitude of baked goods along with sandwiches, toasties, and hot drinks. I went for a tuna melt toastie and sausage roll, both of which were great. The sausage roll was special as it had an additional filling of caramelised onions, which I've not tried before, which added an amazing taste to the roll. There was plenty of seating split over 2 floors. In line with cafe culture, there is no table service, so you self-serve. The pricing was very good. Highly recommended!
One of my favorite coffee places in Oxford. Delicious pastries, grear coffee and the staff is lovely! My morning chats with Francesca when I stop by before y bus are a highlight of my day! :)
Friendly staff. Located close to the bus stop and shops from Westgate shopping centre. Plenty of space to seat and enjoy a coffee. Plenty or sweet and savoury options. Delicious danish bakery. Prices are are a bit high but quality is excellent. They offer brunch options
Love the place!
Love the atmosphere!
Love the pastries and smoothies (except the spinach and mango smoothie)
If I had one critique- it’ll be the way and manner in which one of the waiters approached us.
We were having an Oxford African Students get together- and granted, maybe we were a bit loud! She was so impolite in the way she talked to us - I mean, it’s a public space ( wouldn’t want to go into a lot of details)
But Ole and Steen gives value for your money, especially if you’re a sweet tooth!
Came here for a coffee and sandwich with my mother after a trip to John Lewis.
Francesca, our server was formidable. It really makes such a difference to have such attentive and joyful people looking after you for something as simple as a coffee.
The food & drinks matched the excellent service. Undoubtably looking forward to becoming a regular customer.
Thank you Francesca and the rest of the team at Ole & Steen!
I didn't know there was one outside of London, but wow! Just as amazing as the one I did visit in the capital!
The chocolate swirl was outstanding!
A rich & very sweet hit of chocolate along with a surprising shortbread type base is just the bomb.
Glad I spotted this as I walked the streets & still had enough treats in the afternoon the lure me in.
Great place & will always visit when I see one!
I visited Ole & Steen around Christmas to specifically sample the Mince Pie Festival Bun in collaboration with Meringue Girls. It did not disappoint and was one of the best filled pastries I have eaten - I hope it is back this year! The only drawback was the price BUT it was worth it in my opinion. We also got a cinnamon social to take away which was delicious and one of their classics. The coffee was ok but couldn’t fault their baked goods.
Oh the staff at Oxford Ole and Steen are just so personable. They are there to provide you with a top service. The food is delicious. I tried the vegan truffle toasties... yummy and a very good de caf coffee. This will become my go to coffee and sandwich place!! I heard their pastries are just the best with regards to taste and quality. I have my eye on one of their marshmallow pyramids.
Nice bakery! We go almost every Sunday to the one in Wesgate.
Delicious food and a wide variety of wholesome bakes to choose from. Great place for coffee and a snack
A great cafe ☕shop in the heart of Oxford 🎓 part of a Danish cafe chain. Ideal for families with extra space for push chairs and the necessary toilets facilities.
📍Location: Inside the Westgate Shopping Centre in a very central location of Oxford city.
🍲 Food: There is a nice collection of sandwiches and panini-style snacks and a small variety of main courses including a lovely option of the soup of the day.
☕ Coffee: Average coffe with espresso/cappuccino/americano selection s available.
🍰 Deserts: Heavenly good, go for chocolate twirl and cinnamon social (see photos attached)... Our favourite.
💵 Prices: Higher than average.... But quality balances the high cost.
🅿 Parking: There is a parking area in the Westgate shopping centre (-2 level, often very busy), consider park and ride options around the city.
😉 Extra tip: Go for the iced coffee during a sunny day (see photo attached).
Lovely service and space. Great for people watching and reading with a coffee. The cinnamon socials are AMAZING
Cinnamon Social 10/10
Emina one of the assistants at the cafe was most helpful in my cake decision and described a few of them for me perfectly so I could pick. I was not disappointed and felt compelled to write a review due to her excellent customer service and advice.
I went there for a coffee break today and I loved the service there. There was a sweet girl called siMichelle. Very friendly and helpful as it was my first time in ole and steen. I will definitely come back again and recommend others.
Just two words: utterly delicious. We tried the chocolate chip bun, apple pie, and Christmas special bun. And the display at the front of the store was mouthwatering. It was difficult to choose what to eat, because I wanted everything.
It is a nice coffee shop with good coffee, delicious snacks and Scandinavian vibe.
It is conventionally located next door to the shopping mall and is a nice break from shopping!
Lots of seats there, including the upstairs, and also lots of natural light getting in.
Will definitely be back next time shopping in Oxford.
