The spirit of the library already makes the place.special. What I liked is the bar with cakes that you can self serve. The sandwiches and soup were delicious. The cappucinos served in big mugs. We felt somehow at ease. No pressure in the large open space.

Had the absolute best carrot cake I've ever eaten.

A spacious area to take a breather after inhaling all those books. Or to escape the temperamental English weather (like today).
Takes student discounts. So do ask, unless you’re not a student. Or if you want to pay more.
Might be marginally noisy when school kids and tourists rendezvous at the open space beside the cafe.

Nice cafe inside the Weston Library near the old Bodleian. Friendly and kind staff. Stopped by for lunch. They have numerous options for sandwiches, salads, bakeries and pastries. The soup of the day was Beef Goulash which was delightful. They also have different coffee options (latte, mocha, iced, hot, etc). The price was decent. Be aware that the cafe is a laptop free zone from 11:30 to 16:30 but there are other seatings inside the library building you can use.

A clean, neat and well stocked cafe with very efficient and helpful staffs.
Unfortunately a couple of things brings it down from five stars to four stars cafe:
😙The tables are not cleared for a long time after the customer had lefts and,
🤔 some prices are marked in € but they charge in £’s!

Alway go here when in Oxford.Quick service, lots of lovely yummy cakes, and buns. Toilets well maintained and clean. You can also look around the ever changing exhibitions.

Wonderful place to sit, work, chat or just read. Huge space making it unique with all the books on a different level.
It may become quite busy as time goes by but it was really special. Good snacks and extremely hot coffee, which was great. Too often coffee is not hot enough and a few minutes into a conversation it is lukewarm.

Good good if pricey. Loos good. Access good. A cold winter day and the air conditioning was on! Triggered my asthma. Not very green.
