I would actually say best flat white coffee EVER! Staff are very friendly and passionate in their approach. I also had a toasted sandwich which was excellent too. I quite often cycle to Oxford on a Sunday so wish they would open earlier!

My husband and I have started using this coffee house regularly. Damn, now everyone will know about it. Lovely coffee - my only quibble is that it could be a bit hotter - but my husband says that's how it's meant to be.

I've been coming here regularly since the cafe opened in 2011. Buzzing atmosphere and friendly service. What more do you want?

We live centrally in Oxford and only frequent Zappi's or The Missing Bean for the best coffee in the city. Wonderful staff and amazing quality coffee. First class cappuccino"s along with a small but good quality and relevant snack menu.

Zappi's bike cafe is an absolute treat. They serve amazing coffee, the staff are really friendly and know all the regulars' names and they are bike friendly. It's a nice mix of people chatting, working on their laptops and people coming in wearing full road bike gear for a drink after a ride. I love it because it's different, quirky... More

This cafe was by far the best I found on a recent overnight trip to Oxford. The coffee was excellent, the service was friendly and the cafe itself was light and airy. I also tried their toasted banana bread, which was delicious. There were not endless options, but then it was clear that they make their cakes in house (we... More

After seeing that Zappi café is one of the best cafes across Oxford, the following time I went to town I decided to give it a go. There is nothing special about the café really, I guess it’s quite good if you have a bike and it’s being fixed so you stop there for a bite and a cupper. The... More

I was very excited to try this place's cream tea after a busy afternoon of sightseeing. The cafe is well located with respect to the city center sights, and its fun eating in a bike shop. Though, after I arrived at 4pm, I was quite disappointed to see that they were completely out of scones and only a small selection... More
