Master Critic Review

Oxford Cafe 8.0
Tribeca-Civic Center
Oxford Cafe is a FiDi standby for oversized breakfast wraps, signature hot sandwiches, and make-it-fast coffee service before office hours. Prices stay reasonable for the area, especially given portion size, which makes it a default option for regulars nearby.
Must-Try Dishes: Borracho sandwich, Jack of the River sandwich, Home Fried Potato Wrap
