Oxford - best place to sit and chat (inside)

[Patchedcabbage]

Would sit in University Parks, but if rainy or cold where can you sit and chat without feeling rushed to move on and without shouting? Not looking for a full blown meal.

The cafe in the Bodleian Library. Good cup of tea/cake, really nice loos.

On the 2nd floor of Waterstones there is a café which overlooksthe edge of Broad Street. It’s light and airy with floor-length windows, and there’s a mix of low armchairs, bench seats and classic tables. The coffee is good, and this is one of those places where you never feel pushed to order another to stay longer.

Thanks!

Likewise, Blackwell's bookshop cafe - lots of corners and tucked away parts where people used to settle down for ages.
