always good veg and vegan options - Edit
The food here is interesting and tasty, and the staff are friendly and good-natured. The Vegan Oxford is my favourite breakfast, a nice twist on a cooked English breakfast. The avocado toast is lovely, just enough spice to add warmth an flavour without overdoing it. Lunchtime offers good veg and vegan choices including seasonal vegetables and soups. They are also a top-ranked sustainable restaurant.
Pros: good vegan and gluten free cakes, delicious soups, quick (cantine) service even when busy
Cons: cantine service means queuing at each meal

Not great - disappointing even - Edit
Was super excited to come here for breakfast to try the Vegan Oxford. Instead of what sounded like an awesome big breakfast situation I got a soggy piece of smashed avocado toast, 3 withered slivers of mushroom, some tomato that was definitely not grilled, literally one (1!!!) leaf of wilted spinach and some cold 'baked beans'. Very disappointed :(
Pros: clearly labeled vegan options, good coffee
Cons: quality of food & serving size

Decent food but service could do better - Edit
I came here today for lunch and had a nice enough tofu curry but I really struggled with the staff, who appeared to not only not know what was in the food and what was vegan but also really didn't seem to care. A bit of staff training certainly wouldn't go amiss. The price was also pretty steep for what the food on offer was. A shame considering the space itself is lovely!

lovely! - Edit
Beautiful building and location. Always vegan cake and a vegan hot main (usually a tofu curry or similar), as well as soup. Yum! Recently won award for the most sustainable in Oxford too :)

comfortable, hearty, wholesome - Edit
not sure what the other reviews are talking about - went and had a truly lovely meal (always a vegan option I am assured! and gf cakes too), mice generous portions. it is a little reminiscent of a school dining hall, but classic and heartily set up. the food was deliciously healthy as well! will definitely go again!
Pros: variety, really tasty environment
Cons: dining hall style - some may not like it?
