Queen's Lane Coffee House, 40 High Street. Tel 240082 | |
12/03 |
Reputed to be the oldest coffee house in Oxford dating from 1654, Queen's Lane Coffee House's recent refit has enhanced the feel of this traditional Café , and made it much more spacious. It serves hot chocolate and coffee for £1.45, a selection of cakes and pastries, but also some fantastic sandwiches at a good price. Cold sandwiches come at around £2 - £2.45, while hot sandwiches, either as paninis or ciabattas start at £3 and are served with salad and nachos. You can get a good cream tea with clotted cream for £2.45 a person, but, thankfully, it's not all olde English: the house platter of humus, falafel and dolmas at £4.50 is excellent for sharing (well, you might want to get two if you're hungry) perhaps with a bottle of wine (limited but sound choices here start at £10.45 for a bottle of Muscadet). It's at breakfasts - all day long - that Queen's Lane really excels.There's a range of well-priced choices, from a great value full English for £5.50, including coffee and orange juice. Beans on toast is a reasonable £2.75 for a good portion. The breakfast bap with sausage, bacon, fried egg and tomato is £2.95, as is a vegetarian choice with mushrooms, scrambled egg and tomato.
