La Parisian

Tucked away on a semi-​pedestrian road in Oxford just north of the centre is La Parisian. The owner is kind, the staff seem upbeat and attentive (especially to quirky vegan pickiness) and the shop is adorably small.
This place has cheap paninis/​sandwiches and excellent coffee/​pastries; it’s become a fast favorite go-​to spot for my coworkers since I told them about it.
Like many local places in Oxford, they have rebate cards too! 9 coffees, get the 10^th free (Also applies to Cairo Café) and 7 sandwiches, the 8^th is free. Who can argue with that?

For my part, I agree in no way with layla, I find on the contrary that the atmosphere is warm and alive. The staff is very kind and friendly… I deeply recommend this sandwich shop.

I found the atmosphere quite threatening when ordering food. The men in the shop stared at me while i was ordering a sandwich while the man behind the counter joined in. Not a good experience, I will not be letting my daughters go as it was horrible. I would give no stars but the rating will not let me!

Lovely place and lovely owners. The best of the panini joints in North Parade. Gets crowded so order before the lunch rush. How can you put salad in a panini? Try it — it’s delish.
Very good coffee here too and a good selection of cakes and pastries.

An absolutely tiny bakery/​patisserie, with enough space in front of the counter to stand, but that’s it! It has a sister branch on George St in town. The food is good, but not great and quite typical of the many bakeries in town. North Parade is lovely though, so perhaps worth a trip.
Of note, the chicken is Halal.

This is the closest I’ve found to a proper bakers shop in the Jericho area. It’s very small, although there are a couple of seats, and it’s best as a quick stop for a snack on the move.
They do some hot food, or at least food that they’ll heat up, like sandwiches, pizza slices on ciabatta and sausage rolls, and also a great selection of cakes. I found the flapjack covered in chocolate quite tasteless despite the impressive size, but their chocolate brownie is absolutely to die for. The drinks are the usual selection and you generally pick your own from a chilled cabinet.
A sausage roll and brownie costs £2 altogether, which I would happily pay for the brownie alone — delicious!
The staff are young and friendly, and although they sometimes seem to have their friends sitting in, the atmosphere isn’t at all threatening or prohibitively local.
