just been having a look about on TripAdvisor for somewhere for lunch on Sunday,
And came across a new coffee shop up the road from my pub. One of the reviews

" I live in London and study part time in Oxford.
I have been to so many great places in London (Kaffeine, Tapped&Packed, Prufrock, Ozone, Flat White, Ginger and Croft....and many more) and was so happy to find the same quality in my last visit to Oxfordshire rd :-).

Beautiful Synesso machine, great beans, perfect Flat White and very friendly service! what can you ask for more? and yes, the Banana bread was delicious as well.

You can have great Filter coffee and tea as well..."

And loads of bollocks about a "burgeoning oxford coffee scene to rival london"

It's coffee, possibly very good coffee, but still coffee.

Burgeoning is a good word.

I thought this was going to be about your pub
Coffe makes me awake, tastes alright and helps with headaches.

I like it black, none of this fancy pants shit

It's that age old problem of people being pricks again.

yeah.
It's been open a month, and has 15 reviews, 14 five star gushing "oh my god this is the beginning of a coffee revolution"

How long do you give them then?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 14 Feb 2013, 16:18, Reply)

dunno,
The last coffee shop that opened up this way lasted 4 months ish.
Problem is, Oxford has 4 coffee shops run by the same blokes dotted in all the right places in town, do decent coffee, morning deals all that shit, and everyone loves them, so goes there.

Always been the problem with TripAdvisor
Most of the reviews are written by or for the establishment
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 14 Feb 2013, 16:19, Reply)

the follow ups from the manager are horrid too.

( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Thu 14 Feb 2013, 16:31, Reply)

The establishment? How do you mean?
