Popular coffee chain announces opening date for new cafe

The chain, which has a number of cafes across the county including those in Turl Street, Oxford, in Abingdon and Charlbury, is about to open a new cafe at the Trinity building, a centre for lab space at the business park off John Smith Drive, Cowley.

The chain said the new cafe is expected to open on Tuesday, April 14, at 8am, and will be open Monday to Friday and closed at weekends.

It said in a statement: “Whether you’re picking up a brew before starting your working day, or meeting colleagues for a catch-up, or escaping for a break at lunchtime, Missing Bean Cowley has the comfortable and adaptable space for any purpose.

“With pastries baked every single morning by our in-house bakery, and coffee roasted daily at our roastery, you can be sure your morning treats will be as fresh and as local as it gets.

“Focaccia sandwiches, toasties and brioche rolls will be available daily with a whole range of seasonal fillings from local farms and suppliers, making a swift lunchtime pit-stop super convenient.”

A spokesperson for Missing Bean added: “The new cafe space will be open on weekdays only, with the building as a whole closed on weekends, but fear not, there are many a Missing Bean open seven days a week just a stones throw away.”

Earlier this month the chain opened a new cafe in Charlbury in west Oxfordshire.

Co-founder of the company Vicky Troth said at the time: “Charlbury is my hometown, so when it came to opening a new site for Missing Bean, it only made sense to do it here.

“The site we’ve chosen is charming; and we’re only an hour outside London, placing us in a location that’s easily accessible to everyone.”

She added: “With the support of the local community, we’ve created a space that celebrates exceptional coffee, where people and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do.

“The new site (in Charlbury) is offering all of the Missing Bean favourites – including ethically-sourced coffee bean varieties all roasted in the company’s own East Oxford roastery – and freshly baked pastries, bread and quick bites.”

Collaborations with the community in Charlbury are also taking place, and the cafe will host events including art pop ups, workshops and gatherings throughout the year.

There are also Missing Bean cafes in Botley and Woodstock.

Founded by Ori Halup and Ms Troth to bring artisan coffee to Oxford, the Missing Bean chain launched its first cafe in Turl Street in 2009.
