About
The Missing Bean opened its café on Market Street in Charlbury in 2025. The company is a coffee roaster based in Oxford, with cafés in Oxford, Abingdon, Maidenhead and Woodstock. It has roasted its own beans in Oxford since 2014, and some of its coffees are bought direct from named farms.
The food is counter food: pastries baked each day, cakes and sandwiches, made at the company's bakery in East Oxford or bought from Oxfordshire suppliers, and the café posts a sample menu with full allergen details. Its beans are for sale to take home, ground to order, with brewing equipment, and the café can be hired outside opening hours for events of up to 30 people, in its main room and a smaller second room, the Study Room. The company says all its cafés are dog friendly. There is no hot kitchen menu on its website, so for a sit-down lunch go to the Bull on Sheep Street.
It opens from 8am to 4pm from Monday to Saturday and from 9am to 4pm on Sunday. The station is at the bottom of Dyers Hill, so the café works at either end of a walk on the Oxfordshire Way, and the Charlbury Museum is a few doors along Market Street.
