Missing Bean Turl St

if you're after a proper espresso pull somewhere between lectures or a meeting on the high street, turl street is already a reasonable detour. missing bean has its roastery roots showing here, which means the espresso is the point, not an afterthought tacked onto a food menu. oxford's city centre can feel relentless when you're moving through it, but 14 turl st sits on one of those quieter medieval lanes where the pace drops a little just by geography. locals rate it well, and that kind of sustained local regard in a university city, where the crowd turns over every few years, takes something consistent to hold. you're not coming here for novelty. you're coming because the espresso is what it should be, and turl street in the late morning is a genuinely decent place to drink one.
