My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast here today. The atmosphere is full of British charm, right down to the fresh flowers at every table. One of the biggest highlights for me was the acoustics. I am hearing impaired, and often restaurants are too loud for me to converse comfortably. However, even when the cafe was completely full, the noise level was perfectly managed, and we could speak at a normal volume. It was such a relief to enjoy a meal without noise pollution. The food was excellent as well. My husband had the croissant breakfast sandwich and said it was the best he has ever had. I had the soft egg with wheat toast; while the egg was just a fraction over, it was still delicious and didn't detract from the meal at all. The coffee was fantastic (self-serve with free refills and different blends), and the prices are unbelievably reasonable for Oakwood. Note: They do not accept credit cards, but they do take Venmo, which was a convenient "tech win" for us. We can't wait to return for High Tea!

This place was fantastic. I took my sister out for her birthday and we enjoyed a fabulous pot of white tea from the cutest teacups, the Café was packed with people when we got there, and the parking situation was a bit rough, but the service was so friendly and welcoming, and the croissants and marmalade my sister and I ordered were the best I'd ever had. We still talk about those croissants weeks later, and we're very excited to come back.

Everything was delicious! The carrot soup and scones were especially amazing!! As another reviewer mentioned, they only accept CASH or CHECKs, which was almost a disaster for us. We visited on a busy weekend and I don't normally carry cash. We waited in line for a while before I noticed the sign. Thankfully I had some cash on me, but I would have ordered more if they'd accepted credit.
