Boston Tea Party

Oxford & the Cotswolds


A spacious, friendly, vintage-chic cafe, where relaxed decor – all blue faux-leather booths and rough wood tables, fresh flowers and colourful cans – makes the perfect setting for a contemporary British-international menu focused on ethically sourced ingredients. All-day breakfasts and brunches and tasty vegan and gluten-free choices keep it buzzing. Options include halloumi- or spiced-lamb-stuffed flatbreads, grain bowls and Vietnamese Banh-Mi sandwiches.
