Missing Bean has opened the doors to its newest café in Charlbury, bringing its signature blend of speciality coffee and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere to the Oxfordshire countryside. The perfect excuse for a spring day trip beyond London, with the town sitting just an hour from the capital, the tasty new hotspot serves up fresh coffee and delicious artisanal pastries ideal as staples for locals, and the ultimate treat for visitors eager to travel across county lines for a taste.
The café embodies a personal-touch approach, where ethically sourced beans are roasted at Missing Bean’s East Oxford roastery, guaranteeing that each cup is served with consistency and freshness. Already known for the quality of its homemade baked pastries and light savoury options served alongside its beverages from its five other locations, including Oxford, Abingdon, and Woodstock, the new opening marks an exciting expansion for Missing Bean – surrounded by stunning Cotswolds scenery, it provides an exciting stop for morning walks, or a destination for afternoon catch-ups with friends.
Each site reflects the brand’s focus on community, with Charlbury continuing that approach through its own Study Room, a flexible space for events, workshops and creative gatherings. The café also hosts collaborations and pop-ups, bringing local talent and ideas into the space.
For those who want to enjoy Missing Bean beyond the café, the brand offers a curated selection of speciality coffee beans, subscription services and brewing equipment. Popular blends such as The Original and The Remake showcase the brand’s approach to flavour, with options available in a range of grinds to suit different brewing styles. The online shop also features thoughtfully designed tumblers and accessories, making it easy to bring a piece of the café experience home. Subscription services offer a regular supply of freshly roasted coffee, tailored for both everyday drinkers and dedicated caffeine enthusiasts.
Missing Bean was founded in 2009 by Ori Halup and Vicky Troth, with a focus on quality, sustainability and direct relationships with coffee producers. The business works with farmers across countries including Peru, Brazil and Colombia, ensuring ethical sourcing and fair pay throughout the supply chain. Its coffee is roasted in Oxford, with an emphasis on consistency and craftsmanship at every stage. Over the years, it has grown into a small network of cafés and a roastery, while maintaining its original commitment to quality, personal touch, and community at its heart.
The new café is located at Alder House, Market St, Charlbury, Chipping Norton OX7 3PH. You can find your nearest site, or shop the full range of coffee beans, subscriptions and brewing equipment right here.
