The Missing Bean is a laid-back espresso bar
serving Italian fresh roast coffee, sweet pastries
and ciabatta sandwiches. The large windows in
the shop look out onto picturesque and bustling
Turl Street, a quintessential Oxford thoroughfare,
making it a perfect spot to take time out for a
coffee and watch the world go by. An independently
owned and run espresso bar, the cafe was set
up to bring the artisan Antipodean style coffee
and laid back atmosphere to the heart of Oxford.
Founded in Autumn 2009 by Ori and Vicky, who
had just returned from Sydney, the Missing Bean
quickly established a reputation for great coffee in
a relaxed and friendly environment. Its proprietors
have always believed in making sure they serve the
best coffee possible, from the right beans through
to the roasting process and finally at the extraction.
In 2014, the company set up a micro coffee roastery
just down the road in East Oxford, where they roast
their beans on a weekly basis. The cafe is open
Monday to Friday from 8am - 6:30pm, Saturday
9am - 6:30pm and Sunday 10am - 5:30pm. Other
than coffee, The Missing Bean serves a wide
range of loose leaf teas, as well as iced coffees
including affogato, iced chocolate and iced chai,
hot chocolate and Italian cioccolata, chai, juices,
smoothies and frappes. Alongside the drinks,
you’ll find a select menu of ciabatta sandwiches,
including some perennial favourites: goats’ cheese,
fresh pesto, roasted aubergine & beef tomatoes, as
well as a choice of bagels, delicious home-made
cakes and other sweet treats, freshly baked french
pastries, muffins and donuts. The Missing Bean
also operates a pop-up coffee bar. Ideal for a ball,
exhibition or conference, the bespoke bar can
travel easily, bringing freshly roasted coffee from
the cafe to the concourse.
