Bought a vanilla custard donut. As you can see, it's hard to find the vanilla custard filling. Definitely not worth £3.75. Will not go back again. ( I usually don't leave a review but I want to save other people's time.)
Plus, the owner lady is not friendly..

+ I will add here because I cannot comment on your response.
Ok. It was my mistake to assume that the middle aged lady who works there was the owner but you still didn’t get my point. The staffs there are NOT friendly, especially the lady I mentioned. In fact, I’ve been ignored and just standing there for a few minutes several occasions. I live nearby so I’ve been here several times. (To be honest, I was happy with the donuts or cupcakes when you just open the shop in North Parade. Yes, I was also a regular in your Jericho shop before closing down due to the pandemic.) Most of the recent experiences, I was neither satisfied with the service nor the products I purchased but I’d like to give one more shot due to all the positive reviews on google. But no, I would never go back again. Also you should remember that I was patient enough to go through the half of the donut without any fillings. You mentioned that there could be some fillings in the last half? Only in your dreams!

Nice little coffee and cake shop! It's clean, service is nice and has a cute interior. The cupcakes we got were quite tasty but the prices are quite high.

The coffee is good, but the chocolate is too bitter for my taste. I find the cupcakes really tasty and most of the brownies too, but the cruffins and donuts, despite good flavour, lack filling.

I have used this bakery a few times now and I have to say it always manages to fall short.
Twice been in with my young daughter who just wanted a soft drink (they don't sell them) asked for a doughnut that we enjoyed previously and they didn't have any due to the doughnut lady being on holiday, seriously??
We always get takeaway paper cups which are horrible when you want to sit and have a coffee.
And this time I was told to bring my doughnut plate back inside when I've finished.
I go to lots of coffee shops and this one always seems a little awkward.

My ultimate favourite bakery in Oxford!!! Have been visiting barefoot now for three years and have always loved their brownies, cakes, muffins,coffee and the service! Their brownie deliveries have been a great success to my friends and family and have been my highlights of the lockdown :)!! Their cakes and cupcakes are exceptional with such a moisture and complex flavouring profile :)! I love that they have gluten free and vegan options and always happy to help us choose which ones to get when we get confused which one to get ( so many good choices :) )
Staff member have been always so kind and caring and when I asked about the coffee they have explained the reason behind the coffee profile so that it matches well with the baked goods and it creates a balanced flavour. Excited to hopefully see the other store open as well :)! Cannot recommend the shop enough and would love everybody to try their incredible cakes that will make your day and life!! Better :)

Great cafe! Nice drinks menu and always have different little cakes! They had filled charcoal doughnuts on this visit! They sell some vegan selections and the staff are lovely and friendly

The cafe has a beautiful exterior. Very stylish and excellent for taking pictures. They have a good selection of gluten free brownies and some vegan cup cakes. Unlike a standard coffee shop, they have a lot of caffeine-free hot drinks. Some were new to me, like a hot pea drink, and very worth trying. The service was good, and the person selling goodies was welcoming and friendly.

This is exactly what you want your local bakery to be like! Everything they make is so delicious, with such high quality. I highly recommend any of their mini cakes, brownies, sourdough loaves, and baguettes — you’ll be stunned by how incredible their baked goods are. And their coffees and teas are great too!! I only wish their seating area was larger. Definitely go here!
