Much like the area from which it takes its name, The Jericho Café is a stylish place with an easygoing atmosphere. This fully licensed neighbourhood bistro is independently run and community orientated, with cheery staff that proffer a genuine welcome whether you’re an Oxford resident or just visiting. Whatever time of the day you stop by, you’ll find something to tempt or entertain you – the café’s fantastic brunches are renowned; the wide-ranging main menu lists mouth-watering dishes inspired by the cuisine of France, Turkey and North Africa; and there will often be some live music to enjoy while you tuck into your evening meal.
Sourcing quality fresh produce from suppliers in and around Oxford is of utmost importance to the team at The Jericho Café. The fresh bread is from local family business, The Natural Bread Co; the punchy coffee blend is from The Oxford Coffee Co; and the delectable speciality cupcakes are from Oxford-based bakery, Happy Cakes (all the other cakes are made on site). Dishes are fresh, colourful and wholesome and are offered at pocket-friendly prices. You might start with the likes of couscous fritters, crispy salt and pepper calamari or pan-fried chorizo with chickpeas and spinach, before indulging in homemade creamy fish pie, falafel in a warm pitta with hummus, or Moroccan lamb and apricot tagine. Vegetarian, vegan, dairy and wheat-free choices are always available too, making this truly a café for everyone.
