The Handlebar Café And Kitchen

Fresh ingredients, great vegan and vegetarian options, nice staff and chill vibe. Fair prices. Perfect for brunch.

Had brunch at this place, the food was decently priced for what it is. The outside sitting was pretty good as well. Would recommend.

Great dirty chai accompanied with a peanut brownie made for a lovely visit. The downstairs space was small but wasnt cramped. Seemed understaffed with only one employee covering the whole bottom floor; made it feel a bit chaotic.

The pancakes and sweet potato fries were quite tasty (though a bit sweet for the pancakes . The avocado toast was ok, the bread was a bit too soft and overall it lacked a bit of taste. Overall, it it is a great place for Brunch (also during the week! and I recommend it! The staff is friendly too :

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The place looked really nice and was decorated very nicely. We came for brunch but the food a bit bland. The coffee wasn't very good, quite acidic. It was a bit disappointing considering I'd heard so much about it. If we go again, hopefully it will be better :

One of my favourite places to go for a delicious brunch. Though it's recommend to make a reservation, the staff are kind enough to help you in case you don't and they aren't too busy. It gets tricky on weekends. I first came here to try their take on the Full English Breakfast and that was absolutely delicious, especially because they prepare their own beans. I returned once more to try their Fava Toast and Hemp Milk Cappuccino. Absolutely amazing!

It’s a lovely cozy place with some fab food options. We had coconut banana pancakes and all vegan breakfast. Both were delish (though the vegan breakfast was a bit under seasoned, but never mind). Loved the coconut banana pancake, it was super yumm! Dirty chai and matcha latte were good too. We didn’t have a booking, still they accommodated us on a busy Saturday morning with a very little wait time of 15 mins. People working there are warm and helpful. Would surely visit it again in my next trip to Oxford.

Whenever I go there it's always very busy, and they have vegan options, so I assumed it'd be really delicious and worth the wait. I paid £7 for a vegan tartare. I was curious to see what they do to make vegan tartare. I paid £7 for a raw, chopped up courgette. It looked pretty, but the entire thing was about 30 calories (fewer than in my coffee). I can't believe they really sell this as a lunch option, it's just nowhere near substantial enough. This was not envisioned by a maniac who doesn't care at all about giving a properly nutritional vegan option. It gets 2 stars because my friend had a very enjoyable non-vegan breakfast, and because the coffee was nice, if very small.

Terrible food! We went to this cafe with a great excitement after reading reviews however, met with a major disappointment. The place is very nice which made me and my husband excited about our brunch but as soon as we received our drinks- his juice and my coffee- our hopes started fading. When we received our food I got really riled up as I never had such pathetic (for this high price) food in UK, which is certainly not famous for good food. The full english breakfast was awful and i have never seen sugar syrup-dipped pancakes before (it pained to pay so much for that). Many may be surprised by this review, but if you have slightly active taste buds and know how a good pancake tastes or wha...
