The new dessert cafe has placed signs on the front of 132 High Street with work continuing inside.

The site has been empty for three years with the last tenants being Hotel Chocolat which was open from 2009 until its closure in 2020.

The cafe is currently hiring staff and is looking for baristas, kitchen assistants and full-time and part-time service crew.

Oxford is already home to a host of dessert restaurants serving everything from waffles and cakes to bubble tea.

If you are on the hunt for a sweet treat while you are in the city until Endorphins opens its doors, you will be spoiled for choice.

In the city centre alone there are multiple places to pick from, including George & Danver, Dessert Heaven Oxford and IScream Gelateria. 

More dessert restaurants recently opened in Oxford last year when Treatz opens in Headington and Temptations opened in Summertown in March, 2021.
