Whether you forgot to make that reservation your significant other asked you to make, or you decided to celebrate with your friends this year, Oxford has a lot of great ways to make sure your Valentine’s Day can still be an enjoyable one.
“Short n’ Sweet” date ideas
Looking for some of that “me espresso?” Kofenya Coffee might be the place for you. Since 2004, Kofenya has been Oxford’s go-to indie coffee shop. There are a wide variety of drinks available, at reasonable prices, which is perfect to suit the tastes of any couple or group of friends that decide to take part in this cozy, cafe atmosphere.
If you’re not into coffee, try visiting Graeter's Ice Cream or Tous les Jours across the street for a quick, sweet treat that you can share.
