Took my partner for a quick lunch the other afternoon after seeing a Facebook post about this place. First impressions: The Baguettes were very nice, fresh and hand made, even asking if we wanted butter etc. Had a very family business feel to it, greeting every customer sparking up conversation while we waited. Will definitely be returning to this local business :)

Tucked away in an industrial estate, but you've got to dig to find Gems :D We had the egg, bacon, and sausage baguette. Was great, nice fresh tiger bread and didn't skimp on the filling. Defo recommend, and prices were good too. No gripes, just a warning for larger vehicles parking wise.

Thank you for a lovely breakfast I thoroughly enjoyed it and my husband enjoyed his also. We will definitely have another one soon as it's just what was needed on a cold winter day. The lady who was in today was very nice and a good person to have working for you.

Recommended by a friend who's a regular customer. The breakfast was great, and much better to support a local business than Tesco just down the road. We ordered baguettes to take away for our lunch, they look delicious too. I had a lovely chat with the owner about our time at Banbury School, he even gave our Greyhound a sausage :-)
