Came as a family and was utterly appalled by the service. We were sat for 15 minutes before anyone came to serve us despite there only being 3 other tables being used. We placed our order of teas, salad, sandwiches and a children’s box. After 25 minutes they brought 1 sandwich, a salad, pastry and pot of tea. There was no milk or spoon and nobody came back out and when I was trying to attract attention I was ignored . Thinking we still had another 3 peoples food to come I would wait but after 15 minutes and other tables getting their food they finally asked if we needed anything else . We explained we only had half our order and although they rectified this we had been totally forgotten abou...
Quite disappointing by this cafe. At first glance it looks great. Toys, books, little tables for kids. Unfortunately our experience wasn’t great. The service was extremely slow. One person behind the counter both taking and preparing the orders, despite other staff members being around. I ordered a babyccino for my daughter and the milk was absolutely scalding when it came out and she was unable to drink it. In the end we had to drink it as it just took too long to cool down. Crazy they would serve something like that in a kid’s oriented cafe.
This is such a well thought out menu. It has lots of food that will,appeal to children, and all of it is attractive, nourishing and healthy. And the smallest childrens' food is given priority so that it comes first and fast and what a difference that makes to the whole family's experience. Whatever we ordered we all wanted to taste each other's food as well,s our own and it was all really good. And, taking four grandchildren, I was delighted to pay probably about half of what it would have coat at a chain, Don't miss it.
I regularly go to the Story Museum for lunch. There are loads of options. The all day breakfast is excellent and the daily soup is always delicious! There is space to sit outside in the sun in their peaceful courtyard. Staff are incredibly friendly and it's a fantastic place to meet friends for a long lunch. I'm a coeliac and there are plenty of options which is unusual in Oxford. Great for just a cup of tea and cake as well!

Down a side street-Pembroke Street- just off St Aldates in Oxford-you will find the brilliant Story Museum. This is delightful small and quirky museum for children and their parents. Equally delightful is the museum cafe- everything on the menu is home cooked and delicious with many items to appeal to children as well as shoppers or tourists who seek a light lunch away from the more corporate chain restaurants.
Looking for a place for lunch we walked down a side street and found this treasure. Very helpful pleasant staff in the cafe.I had the tuna melt panni and husband had the jacket potato with tuna both served with side salad.excellent also had tea for two and told us to ask for more milk or hot water. Felt no need to hurry and some were just enjoying relaxing over a drink.
Went there for brunch with friends. Saturday morning but lots of space. Delicious avocado on toast only £2.90. We sat and chatted over coffee in cosy back room. Relaxed and friendly.
After the tour of the museum we enjoyed some food here. The kids enjoyed the pasta and we enjoyed the soup of the day which was leek and potato and it was great.

A fun environment to enjoy a tasty lunch. I would recommend the chicken salad. The staff were also very friendly
No vegan cake options available, which was disappointing given the menu states that much of our menu is vegan .
