This is a lovely place - great coffee, tasty pastries, friendly staff. But even though the mornings are quieter, I find the volume level of the music later on in the day makes it impossible for me to concentrate or hear anything else properly. I have requested it be turned down, without success. I love this place but I think it has lost me as a customer because of this.
Eva T, 15/10/09 The Cowley Road G&Ds is significantly larger than its other outlets. As a result, in addition to the faultless ice cream, you'll find comfortable sofas and lots of bright seating. Most importantly for students, academics and the burgeoning Oxford startup scene, though, is the reliable wifi: together with the Jam Factory, it's one of only two large, laptop-friendly cafes in the city. (Greens Café is a third, but it's always packed and can be stiflingly hot.) The ice cream deserves its own paragraph, and is the same delicious, organic, creatively flavoured stuff you'll find at the other two outlets. Like the other G&Ds, this one's open until midnight, so you can very easily follow a couple of pints with a scoop or two; not a bad way to round off the night. As with all the G&Ds outlets, the one bum note is the bagels. The fillings are great, but the bread itself isn't all it can be - it's more round bread than the chewy, moist flesh of the genuine article. Nonetheless, it's almost inconsequential; they're still pretty good, and most punters will likely make a beeline for a Super Chocolate cone rather than a veggie salad sandwich. Ben Werdmuller, 15/10/09 Nice Ice Cream. Usually Busy. Open Late. Nice Little Sun Trap Garden Out Back. Gummi Bears. What More Could You Want? ?, 28/04/09
