Love Coffee Co. Summertown

Head up to Summertown and you'll find Love Coffee Co. doing the unglamorous work of actually caring about what's in your cup. The kind of place where the staff know their extraction times like you know your mates' orders, and they're not pretentious about it—just genuinely into coffee. You'll clock the espresso machine doing proper work, the pour-overs getting the attention they deserve, and a crowd of regulars who've clearly worked out this is where the good stuff happens. It's become the north Oxford coffee spot that doesn't need to try hard because the coffee does the talking.
