Love Coffee Co. High Street

Greek flavours

The draw here is the Greek coffee, which one student guide rated the best in the city, and a large spread of Greek pastries and cakes. It makes a change from the usual flat white and croissant, and is worth a stop if you have not tried a proper Greek coffee before. Greek coffee is brewed thick and strong in a small pot, a slower drink than an espresso.

More than a coffee stop

Beyond the counter, it serves breakfast, lunch and early dinner, with chicken salads and club sandwiches among the dishes picked out by reviewers. Because it keeps going into the evening, it is a handy option for a light meal before heading on elsewhere. Hours are longer than many nearby cafés, which helps if you are sightseeing late into the afternoon.

Where it fits in your day

The café sits at the top end of the High Street near Carfax Tower and the Covered Market, so it is easy to drop into while sightseeing. Climb Carfax Tower for views over the centre, browse the market stalls, then come back for coffee and something sweet. The Chequers and the Bear Inn are close by if you would rather move on to a pub.
