Barefoot Kidlington

Barefoot Kidlington is the newest addition to the Barefoot line-up and brings the bakery's familiar formula of handmade treats, natural ingredients and small-batch baking just outside Oxford. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle while someone else queues for pastries.

Breads, pastries, pizza, savouries, viennoiserie, cakes and sweet things are all made from scratch, with an emphasis on classic recipes and local ingredients where possible. That gives this branch the feel of a dependable all-rounder rather than a one-note cake stop, covering plenty of snack emergencies, coffee needs and "I deserve a treat after this" moments in one go.

A handy Kidlington bakery for good provisions, easy comfort and a little edible cheer without the fanfare, and dogs can come in too.
