Read this slowly, god knows it took us a while to digest. This is a l-i-c-e-n-s-e-d cafe. On O-x-f-o-r-d S-t-r-e-e-t. Where you will a-c-t-u-a-l-l-y want to stay a while.
As its neighbours dance at light speed, Falconer quietly cruises through coffee (morning) and wine (evening) accompanied by a tasting plate (any time). It's the sort of place friends go for quiet drinks, or heaven forbid, we'd like to go for quiet reading; safely sheltered from the lycra parade outside.
Falconer might be new, but it has a solid history. A former Pony chef masters the kitchen, steady bar staff command the front counter and best of all...cushioned booths bolster drinkers and diners. To top it off, one owner wears natty waistcoats, and the other modelled with Kate Moss...no line of lycra here.
