Dined on a Saturday afternoon with 4 friends, they had sold out of Prosecco (on a Saturday!?) and also didn't have some of the advertised desserts.

Great atmosphere and decoration. The food was also good, got a full English breakfast and it was amazing.

Pub where you can watch live shows on the first floor. Very nice location.

Far too expensive for what you get. We went for the English breakfast, the 2 bacon rashes were the size of a coin & no meet, just all fat, literally, one egg, one handful of half little potatoes, one sausage ..over £12,00...nope, we were not expecting that for that money.The staff us young & quite fool but not attentive, not bringing what asked & when advised in regards, bringing the stuff not received & then charging extra for it!The place is quite nice & situated in a good spit, however scrapped from my list I am afraid.A real shame as the potential is all there

What a real shame. Coco’s used to be one of our favourites we visited and enjoyed it often before it started being closed most of the time but lunch on Sunday was simply awful. We had a friend staying who also remembered Coco’s fondly so went there, mistake! It was pretty quiet which should have told us to keep away but we sat down and ordered. Three very different dishes, one vegetarian, one salad, one steak. Of the three the only one that got a thumbs up was the salad, tasty and fresh was the verdict. The vegetarian mezze was pronounced just bizarre, great lumps of vegetables chopped in huge chunks partnered by ‘koftas’ that seemed to be made of crumbly breadcrumbs and a huge pile of what was supposed to be garlic bread but barely had any flavour. The steak was best forgotten, a 3mm thin slice of tough, overcooked, meat is not a rib eye and should not be sold as such, thank god for chips! The owner makes a lot of noise about the damage Oxford councils awful traffic measures are doing to his business but frankly, if this is the best they can do, then bring on closure. It’s possible to eat really well and really badly in oxford and Coco’s has always been one of the more reliable places, no more sadly, we won’t return.

Ordered a full English breakfast and it turned up without bacon. When I questioned it I was told they had "run out of bacon". It might have been worth mentioning that when I ordered as bacon is quite integral to an English breakfast. I would have had something else if I'd known. Later, when asked how everything was and I mentioned the bacon again I was asked "were you not told?" by the girl who took the order (and had not mentioned the bacon would be missing)! Apparently I should have received an extra sausage but I also did not get this. I was quite surprised that service charge was added to the bill after this. Felt it would be awkward to ask to have it taken off so paid anyway, however have this 1 star review instead!

We found this place by accident when we were hungry and stuck in traffic. It looked understated from outside and quiet. It was only 6pm but the place was packed and had great music and a great atmosphere. Very New York Soho vibe-y. Our pizzas were fantastic.

Love Coco! Beautiful place with a beautiful atmosphere. Florence Pugh says “tzatziki goes with everything” so I ordered the Greek Pizza which was absolutely delicious. Her dad (the owner), was there working alongside the staff and was so attentive and friendly. I’m so sad they’ll be closing down soon. Please visit while you still can!!
Quite simply our favourite cafe/wine bar of all time. Delicious food-the kedgeree is outstanding- great coffee, and consistently lovely staff over the twenty six years that we have loved this place. A trip to Oxford wouldn't be worth the journey without Cafe Coco.

Top class English breakfast, especially the Oxford sausage. Staff extremely good. Thanks for a great start to our day.

Terrible service; waitresses were slow and inattentive and overcharged us.Food was poor. The English breakfast was covered in a herby sauce which was disgusting but no one cared to check back on the the food was so we had no opportunity to tell the staff.Only saving grace was the hot chocolate which was good.Won't be returning!
