    Can’t get enough of this new coffee shop… 😏 If yo Can’t get enough of this new coffee shop… 😏 If you’re already familiar with @missingbeancoffeeshops then you know their coffee is great, their food is delicious, and their venues are unique. But the new Cowley cafe is HUGE, and surprisingly cosy for such a big space. It’s a beautiful venue, with lots of nooks and warmed lighting, and a good number of plug sockets for anyone looking to bring along their laptops. It’s the latest in a series of cafe openings from the Missing Bean team, and it doesn’t disappoint. The quiches are a new addition - I tried the traditional quiche Lorraine, but they serve a veggie option as well - all made in house by their brilliant chef/baker, Jess. The freshly made coleslaw was tasty, with a tasty pop of fennel and the bacon in the quiche was generous. It’s well worth a visit if you haven’t been, and if you work on the Oxford Business Park, you are in for a treat! Your breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks just got a whole lot tastier. Have you been? - Jacqui x 📍 Missing Bean Cowley, Trinity House John Smith Drive, Cowley #indieoxford
    On Monday we hosted our Hospitality and Food & Dri On Monday we hosted our Hospitality and Food & Drink Meet Up at the brilliant Waste2Taste café, and as always it reminded us exactly why we do what we do.

Whether people came along with a challenge they’d been sitting on, a win they wanted to share, or simply needed a couple of hours in good company, everyone left with something. That’s the magic of this community. If you’ve ever thought about coming along to one of our meet ups but haven’t quite made it yet, we’d love to see you at the next one.
