G&D’s

Great to see G&D's open for takeaways during the lockdown. They appear to have been very sensible and cautious about ensuring good hygiene and adequate social distancing by setting up clear markings on the floor. They were also offering a 50% discount to NHS staff when we went in late last week. I wish more places were doing takeaway as Boris had intended! We need to have some normality and small pleasures for the nation's mental health!

Probably the best cafe in Cowley road... despite stiff competition. One of my favourite places to go as has bagels, amazing ice cream, and great hot drinks. Oh, and WiFi: unlike G&D's in St Aldates. 😜 In normal times, this is a great place to meet and chill. IMHO the best of the three G&D's cafes in terms of open space, layout, and plug sockets - never feels like the queue of customers is behind your back. Open during the pandemic, but only for take-out and only until 7pm (as opposed to the usual 9pm). Even does Deliveroo take-out. Went there physically in lockdown 3.0 (09.01.20) and got some delicious Lotus biscuit ice cream. 🍦 Also a Double chocolate cookie 🍪 , and they're still doing bagels 🥯. In lockdown they seem to be rotating their ice creams less, but really cannot blame them for that and just glad they're still going. 😋 Just gone Vegan and they freely admit: they don't really cater fully for that (though, to be fair, they are better than most). However they do Vegan bagels that are better than the usual stuff. Also sorbets, meaning you get a good ice-cream experience as a Vegan (that other places really don't do). SUGGESTION: if they used Oat, Almond, Soya, or Coconut milk ice-creams, they'd have something even better ice-cream wise. But that's like lecturing Sir Ian McKellen on acting. 😏 Not been there? DEFINITELY give it a go. I don't own shares, but kinda wish I did lol.
