Opera

Oxford


This charming cafe’s streetfront deck is a prime people-watching spot, though there’s also a secluded soft-furnished snug downstairs. The menu has a strong Middle Eastern flavour, with breakfast choices including a Moroccan egg wrap as well as Jericho’s obligatory avocado toast. Or just stop by for a coffee or fresh-squeezed juice and a slice of basbousa, a syrup-infused semolina cake.
