We always love coming here. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed --- there's a full restaurant menu and table service but it remains a cafe, with excellent coffee, a lot of yummy cakes, and wi-fi. You can come and work away an afternoon on your laptop or, as we often do, come as a family... More

very good coffee, great breakfasts and pastries, some interesting lunches, free newspapers, great atmosphere. Downstairs is a little claustrophobic, but upstairs is very pleasant

The food was great, atmosphere is every earthy, the desserts and croissants are delicious! Had breakfast here at least 4 times during my stay in Oxford. Lovely breakfast specials!

We always visit the Jericho when we're up in Oxford- its food is consistently good, and it's always full of animated people and friendly staff. You can really taste the difference between the quality of their breakfasts (free-range eggs, butcher's sausages, REAL tomatoes!) etc, -and other people's. And how many cafes cheerfully serve "eggs any style" ? The coffee's great,... More

I used to frequent the Jericho Café regularly whilst living in Oxford. Returning for a brief visit I had time for dinner there. It has lost none of its easy going ambience. The service is good, the waitresses charming, and the food excellent. If you have an afternoon hour to spare it is ideal - there is a choice of... More

We popped in last Friday for an early dinner, we were really hungry since we were just having something to eat at 4 in the afternoon, after an early flight to UK. I had the falafel and homous pita, which was great and my husband had the Cumberland sausage. Staff very friendly, cozy place and good prices. We needed a... More

We live in Jericho and have never tried the Jericho cafe before. Due to a busy week my partner and I decided to pop in for some dinner as we were too tired to cook. I wish we hadnt. I ordered a morrocan chicken salad, which came out ridiculously fast, within around 4-5 minutes of ordering. For something that involved... More

We are extremely sorry to hear that you were ill after your recent meal at the cafe. The Moroccan chicken salad is a long-running favourite on our menu and this is the first time we have ever had this sort of complaint. Our kitchen has an extremely high level of health and hygiene - we have been awarded 5 stars... More

"This could have been among the better such establishments in Oxford if it was not for the attitude of its proprietors. My wife and I have occasionally met several old friends at the café who live in the area, and on each occasion could not help but notice details which betray a disappointing lack of concern for customer comfort and...

Cafe looks nice - v typical English cafe. However, our breakfast was served cold and the scrambled egg was quite watery. Cafe was also a bit chilly. Coffee was good.

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments on Tripadvisor. On the morning of your visit, you let me know that one of your breakfasts was not hot enough, (the other was fine, you said). I offered to replace the breakfast for you and a new, fresh breakfast was made and brought to your table within minutes. The... More

My friends and I discovered the Jericho cafe a few months ago and have been coming back nearly daily ever since. The cafe is on my route to college and I can never resist popping in on my way past. Truth to be told, sometimes I don't quite make it as far as the library! When you can sit in... More
