Good for cake and coffee

I love their coconut flapjack, and they are a convenient spot to hang out and work in the city center.

Update from an earlier review: they have increased their number of vegan options, there are now several vegan panini's, a vegan breakfast, many sweet options, and they are all clearly labelled! Also their new space is much nicer than the one they had before, if a bit smaller

Average eats

Items on the menu are clearly marked vegan and vegetarian. Good prices, range of cupcakes and cake bars.
I got the marinated tofu sandwich which was somewhat bland but filling.

Pros: Good prices, Variety

Cons: Bland food

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Everything clearly labelled

Great sandwich shop, but desperately needs a lick of paint

The sandwiches here are great – shame the cafe area doesn't live up to the food. Dingey, dark and really needs some trendier furniture, nicer lighting and a fresh lick of paint. The lights are sooooo dark and you feel like you are in a weird doctors waiting room rather than a fresh, healthy lunch spot.

Pros: Great sandwiches, Friendly staff

Cons: Dark dull seating area, Old bashed furniture (not in a cool vintage way!)

Nice for a coffee and fast meals

Went there for some coffee and they had soy milk available. They had several plant based options, from baguettes to cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies (delicious!) and even fruit! The place was very nice. As far as meal options go, they all seem to be the same in every veg-friendly place in Oxford: the marinated tofu or the falafel sandwich. They were all very nice and I met some vegans working there, which was quite good. Oxford doesn't seen very vegan-friendly.

Pros: Fruit and smoothies, Organic and fair trade, Very nice people and really nice place

Cons: Same sandwich options as everywhere else

Okay

I went here twice, both times I chose a sandwich with marinated tofu, olives and pepper (which, by the way, was DELICIOUS) and it was served with salad.
One of the 'salad-parts' had this weird dressing thing on it, that did not look vegan at all. I asked them, and they assured me that everything on the plate was - in fact - vegan, so therefore I took a tiny tiny bit, but no. It tasted like mayo (or something similar, if that even exsists, I don't know).
Despite all of this badness, though, I must say that the cafe itself was lovely, and that the sandwich was the best sandwich I've ever had.

Pros: Friendly staff, perfect portions, great food

Cons: The (non-)"vegan" mayo

Friendly cafe with a few vegan options

Greens Cafe serves falafel sandwich in baguette and vegan flapjack varieties. They also offer coffee/tea with soy milk. The staff is friendly. You can either eat in or take away. Prices are reasonable.

Pros: Delicious food, Reasonable prices, Friendly staff
