Missing Bean Turl St

a mid-morning pull off turl street, when you've got a lecture in an hour or a manuscript chapter that isn't moving. that's the kind of gap missing bean fills without making a fuss about it. turl street sits in the older grain of oxford, a short walk from the covered market and the bodleian, which means the foot traffic here is students, academics, tourists, locals, all overlapping. the shop has held its ground in that mix long enough to be locally well regarded, and not in a vague way. espresso is clearly the anchor. if you want something short and considered rather than a bucket of something milky, you'll probably land in the right place. worth going before the midday crowd catches up with it.
