Excellent breakfast menu; lots of fattening things made with vaguely whole-food ingredients so you can pretend that they're good for you. Strange artworks downstairs.
Wheelchair friendly.

Took the girl to see a movie and popped in for a quick bite to eat. The cafe was heaving as usual, the staff as smiley and friendly as ever and the burger the best I've had in ages - really meaty and tasty. Cheers guys, we'll be back soon!
Will F., 12/01/09 Had a fantastic dinner here with friends the other day. Really good food and good value. The service was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere bustling but relaxed. I highly reccomend it - we wish we lived in Jericho just for The Jericho Cafe! Dollface, 03/11/08 Popped in for lunch the other day. Our 2 'melts' were accompanied by salad which was tired (to say the least) with the lettuce going brown. On complaining, not once did anyone apologise and a replacement salad was brought with no grace or hint of customer service. Still what can you expect for a total £10 these days? Robin, 18/09/08 Excellent vegetarian breakfast and great poached eggs. Today, however, I got a bit of bacon in my veggie breakfast. They were very apologetic etc etc but I hope that the mushrooms and bacon really are cooked separately, chef. Apart from that, great place for brunch. asia, 16/03/08 The Jericho Cafe is a true gem. I always enjoy a nice conversation with the management and my fellow patrons. It is a true community gathering place which has the added bonus of serving superb gourment food at reasonable prices. It is the only cafe I have been to that can get poached eggs right; every time. North Oxford just seems like a friendlier place knowing that the Jericho Cafe is just around the corner. s. wilson, 28/10/07 'I'm going to have to ask you to consume more, sit downstairs, or leave.' Yes, service at the Jericho cafe is that lousy. If you want to drop £15 for a £5 lunch, this is the place for you. If you want a simple cuppa, or, heaven help you, to do something crazy like read the paper or engage in some other time-wasting activity over your cuppa, go elsewhere or bring a mac--because you will be crapped upon by the management. The location is nice, the decor reasonable--but if you want a decent cup, there are half a dozen great places on the same road. A.C. Baker, 17/09/07 You order at the counter of the Jericho café. How I know this, is walking in for the first time I say out loud ‘let’s sit down and see what happens’. To which a total stranger chips in, ‘the roof may fall in. If you sit down that’s one of the things that can happen’. He is sharing his obscure punch line with us and later the story of his day as we wait for our Cumberland sausage and mozzarella pesto n tomato melts to arrive. Jericho café is such a unique Oxford eatery for the very reason you can expect the unexpected. People share stories with you although you are equally welcome to enjoy your own space. The walls are plastered with posters advertising a broad church of Art-based activities. Located in Jericho, a historic area where travellers who had left it too late to enter the city walls via the gate centuries ago would seek repose for the night, the walls of the café today prove an adequate information station for the inspired new arrival. Tea, cake and a substantial ciabatta with dressed side salad costs £8. Homemade chunks of fruit flapjack are beautifully buttery and a slice of chocolate gateau proves fudgey, nutty, soft and gooey. A magically colourful array of treats makes this light and airy café popular with children. As families sip cranberry juices next to students writing essays over a strong coffee there is a feeling that everyone is having a happy funky day in their own way. Downstairs is a cool cellar often displaying art with more seating. The food is so tasty and fresh, the extra seats are very welcome. But as my new friend points out, remember to place your order at the counter first! lita doolan, 17/04/07 Delicious fresh salads at standard prices. A good place to catch up over lunch or a coffee. Oxford Student, 01/04/07 Just a quick mention: it was about two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon and our party of eight had already been turned away from two pubs and two purveyors of curry. Not because of any unwholesome characteristics we displayed, but on grounds of being already too busy. In the Jericho Café, which seemed just as busy, a chap took charge and magicked up a table for eight with no fuss and some patience, given that we were all milling about like sheep and making lots of contradictory assertions about whether we should stay or not. Food arrived without great delay, and all was of a good standard: lasagna, sausage and mash, falafels, various melts. Average spend well under a tenner including teas and juices. Very helpful, much appreciated. Bunch of Yappers, 27/02/07
