    We had a lovely birthday lunch for my Sister. The food was delicious and Torrin provided excellent service with humour and a smile. Thank you for not having music on, it was so relaxing to be able to eat and chat without having to compete with music.

    Amazing brunch at Cafe CoCo. I had the pistachio and yoghurt French toast and it was genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth. Absolutely delicious, perfectly balanced and something I’d come back for again and again. All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming and the whole place has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. Great coffee, great food and excellent service. Definitely the best brunch place around and one of my favourite spots in Oxford. Couldn’t recommend Cafe CoCo enough!
