21 Best Cafes near Oxford

“I walked into this establishment and was blown away by the wide variety of shakes and teas to choose from. The staff was very friendly, and actually helped me to finally make a decision on what shake and tea to choose. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to get some protein shakes and teas to help keep your body and mind in shape.“

“It was my first time here at their cafe in middlebury. I came in for breakfast. Cute little cafe. It's located in the medical building. Definitely a little pricey but that is because they serve fresh and good quality food. They have quick snacks, salads, and desserts for grab and go. They have a bunch of great sounding fall specials so now is the time to check them out. I got a pumpkin flavored iced coffee which they use the Omar brand which I love. I ordered the farmhouse breakfast sandwich without the tomatoes and on gluten free bread. It was delicious! I definitely wish I lived closer to here because I would be here all the time. But I'll be back when in the area. Quite a selection for breakfast and lunch. I recommend checking them out! Also very friendly staff!“

“What refreshing little neighborhood cafe! It's nothing fancy and exactly what you want a free morning close to home. I didn't delve into the menu but trusted a friend who goes often and I wasn't disappointed! We shared the breakfast charcuterie board featuring Pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, Italian smoked sausage, cheese, tater tots and fried eggs. Add a couple of Americanos and we were set for a couple hours of great food and conversation. Have it there or get something to go and you'll get your day started right.“

“Great place to eat at. Prices are great especially for the quality of the food! The owner is very nice and passionate. The restaurant itself is very clean. 10/10 recommend eating here! I wish they were open on Sunday as it’s our last day visiting we would have definitely stopped again! I wish we had a place like this in PA. We will definitely stop again when we come to visit family again.“

“I've been here a few times to grab croissants but it was our first time dining it and it was delicious! Very cozy and you can tell they have a lot of regular customers. The eggs benedict was amazing and their homemade biscuit was great. My husband got the chicken and waffles special and he loved it. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Stopped in one morning after a class at rowhouse. Clean place and there was a long line. The coffee is already made and pumped out (or take. From the chiller for the ice coffee). I got the pistachio which was pretty good. Also tried the ketogenic plant-based eggs. Not sure the brand. But it was Meh. The worker offered to add either chives, "cheese" or "bacon" bits, which was nice. I went with the chives. Glad I did, because not sure if it would have had any flavor otherwise. In short, go for the coffee...maybe they will expand their menu in the future. Some protein muffins, oatmeal or grits would be great...“

“Best breakfast sandwiches in the area. Honestly, I rarely go for lunch but they've been a cornerstone for a solid Egg and Cheese sandwich for me as long as they've been around. Prices are great too and definitely appreciated in this day and age.“

“These two gentlemen are truly a blessing to the valley , consoling and taking care of every one for years . I don't know what I would do with out them , greatest coffee I've ever had and class acts , take time and treat your self to the greatest coffee on the planet made with love for the same locals ever day . Thank you Mo and AB you guys brighten my day time and time againGet you some coffee people!!“

“One thing that stood out to me was how well the staff knew their customers. They greeted many customers by name, which showed a level of familiarity and a sense of community. It was evident that the bakery values building relationships with their patrons. The Frappuccino was delicious. The blend of flavors was just right, and it provided a refreshing and enjoyable treat.“

“Excellent service and great food! We came on a Sunday for a private party, the service was awesome! Everything came out together and the servers did a great job handling 20+ people in the party. A great cocktail menu as well. The Kobe beef burger was excellent!“

“As you can see from my photos- I LOVE this place! These low-cal meal replacement shakes are absolutely delicious AND they give you a complimentary tea (this is one of the only locations that offers tea complimentary). Bonus- there’s a River Walk in the same location so my friend and I usually go for a walk and then head over here for a shake. SoOoOoo good - you won’t be disappointed.“

“This is my favorite place to get breakfast. The owner and family that run the business are amazing! The selection is vast, and everything I have tried has been delicious. The customer base is friendly, and I have run into people I know coming for a great meal. It is a cozy place. You can dine in or carry out. My favorite place, especially if you want a great bagel! It is a guilty pleasure that is worth it!“

“We were traveling through the arena on Hwy 84 at 6 am and wanted coffee. Caffe Italia was the only place open so we drove into Waterbury. Winding our way there we almost decided to turn around and then…there it was. This was like walking into a little Italian neighborhood hangout….with EXCELLENT espresso! At 6 am there was a group of local Italians, reading papers, playing cards and generally sharing the days news. It felt like being at home with family. Great atmosphere! Lots of specialty Italian food, cheeses etc. Super nice guy who made our espresso. We would definitely stop in again for more!“

“My gosh!!! The food here is amazing!!!!!!! I'm talking the freshest salads pilled high with any or all of the options ( there's a ton!) I actually felt healthier after eating here. You can tell they are using quality ingredients. Gluten free options galore. We got take out but they have indoor and outdoor dining. We are local but how lucky for the Rt 84 travelers that happen to get off the highway right there to gas up and eat. A healthy fresh meal on the road is hard to find. What a little treasure in Middlebury, Connecticut“

“I had never been to this bakery before but followed them on Facebook. One day I saw a photo of a cake they posted and thought it was gorgeous. We were planning our son's first birthday party with an "Under the sea" theme. Well....I went to check things out. Amazing little bakery. I tried their canolis, custard cups and cream puffs before ordering anything! I figured if they were good then I'll order more! They were Delicious!!! Best ever!! Rui was a complete sweetheart and bounced ideas back and forth with us and would be our main contact through the owner. They were so sweet, reliable and made us trust they'd do a great job!! I couldn't have been more happy about our order than I was. Seeing our beautiful cake made me tear up and thr cupcakes to go with it matched perfectly!! We will use this bakery over again and again! If you haven't been....do not hesitate!! THANK YOU For making our son's birthday party that much more special!“

“I work nearby and I’m not sure why it took me so long to check this place out. First off, their coffee/lattes are fantastic, some of, if not the best I’ve had in the city. They have many flavors and their specialty lattes are all very good. The food is also fantastic. Fresh and reasonably priced. I’m not sure if they bake their bread in house but it’s very soft and delicious, it tastes freshly baked. I haven’t had any of their bakery items yet but I imagine they’re also great. I highly recommend this place for coffee/breakfast. It’s roomy with enough seats to relax and get some work done if you need a place to sit too. The staff is very friendly as well. A nice little downtown gem.“

“Great place, great food, staff very nice. Only reason didn't give 5 stars all around was atmosphere-more of a sports bar atmosphere not really my thing and not from the area so felt kinda like a newbie. Service was a bit slow but it was pretty busy. Fries were cold when I got them but they made a whole new huge batch and they were absolutely delicious! Best drink and food prices anywhere I've found! We will definitely be back!“

“I actually haven't been there but my friend had her purse stolen and her license somehow ended up there. A gentleman, Dave, was sweet enough to mail it to her. Speaks volumes of the wonderful people at this establishment! Heather says thank you so much!“

“Happened to stumble on to this place. I'm always keeping an eye out for health spots or juice/smoothie spots; and this place is phenomenal. I've visited here on two separate occasions and both experiences were very friendly. They are knowledgeable and have a positive energy and atmosphere. I truly enjoyed talking with them about health & fitness as well as local small talk. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great smoothie and/or tea.“

“Speak Easy is a local point of interest to stop by and say hello to friends. The personnel working there are quick with service, even when the tables inside and out are full. You can call it the Cheers of Waterbury, because we are not in Boston.“

“Naugatuck Nutrition has definitely been a lifesaver in a town that has very little nutritional options and overpriced, mediocre-at-best takeout. Great for when you’re hungover, needing to curb a sweet craving, wanting a light lazy breakfast/lunch, or are feeling sick. Would I say that I agree with the use of Multi level marketing Herbalife? I definitely do not like that part and surely would be happier with a protein mix that includes whole food powders, and more nutrients. It’s understandable how many can see this as overpriced, however as someone who makes protein shakes at home regularly, the prices make sense. You are not only paying for a protein shake, but you are paying for something more indulgent and that’ll taste great, as well as the labor that goes into it. Rather than having one powder you have endless possibilities of flavor combinations and are buying time off of your hands. For me it’s between paying $8-$13 for a healthier meal replacement, or having to opt in to supporting businesses that make low quality, nutritionless food and charge twice that amount… or I cook for myself which I don’t always have time for! It’s give or take. Thanks for being here Naugatuck nutrition!“
