About Us.
We Are TCG
Our Place. Your Space.
What is The Coffee Guild, also lovingly referred to as TCG. The journey started with the idea that the people of Oxford needed somewhere to spend their evenings that wasn't too dark, too loud or surrounded by alcohol, don't get me wrong we all like a drink but we also like a choice. This is where the idea was founded, why not follow other countries and have a late night coffee shop with a homely Nordic colour pallet, from there everything evolved into what we have today.
Today TCG is a café, a workspace, an events space, a thriving community hub and most importantly a home away from home. We hope to cater to as many people as we can, from book clubs to board gamers, from professionals needing a quiet space to send an email to a student needing somewhere to finish that essay late into the evening. We want everyone to have a space and feel welcome.

Hi I'm Carl I'm the shops resident Gundam-building, game-playing, photography wizard. When I'm not perfecting recipes for the kitchen to cook up or capturing stunning photographs, you can find me glued to the screen, cheering on the Seahawks or building and painting some of my models.
Despite my broad array of hobbies and introverted nature, I try to bring my creativity and passion to the shop to make everyone feel welcome and show a small slice of the wide array of hobbies there are out there.
