Bottletree Bakery

My wife and I had been wanting to go to this place for a while. We had heard how great the food is and we had even tasted the coffee before. But this fine Saturday we finally got the chance to dine at the Bottletree. We set out on our destination a little later due to some unforeseen circumstances. However, when we arrived Abbye immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. It is very homey and eclectic with missed matched tables and is adorned with random signs and paintings and pictures. We chose to sit at the bar which we later found out that it was the original bar in the building and it is over forty years old. we also discovered that this bakery used to be an old bus stop. We came in for a snack to hold us over till a friend finished his meeting, so we didn't get to try everything we feasted our eyes on. The one thing we did get to try was the breakfast focaccia. To say the least it was amazing. it had cheese, bacon, and egg. the focaccia bread was not to greasy, crispy on the outside, but moist in the middle... hmmm!!! The staff at the bakery were attentive and polite. They often refreshed our coffee and even gave us some bread as we departed. This is a one in million kinds of place. We concluded by the end of the snack that The Bottletree Bakery would definitely be a place we would frequent if lived in or even near Oxford.
