Good Habit

Good Habit is a café venue at 32 St Giles, Oxford, opened by Blackfriars in Sept 2026.

Open seven days a week, Good Habit is a friendly place to grab a delicious coffee and a pastry, or to enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch.

Located at the top of St Giles near Little Clarendon Street, you can’t miss the stylish facade with large picture windows, and the elegant and spacious interior with décor inspired by Blackfriars priory.

An Independent Café that supports Blackfriars

Good Habit is managed independently but was created to serve both the general public and the community of Blackfriars, providing meals and other social events for our student body and academic staff. Good Habit is run on a profit-sharing basis, meaning that if the café is successful as a business, then this brings a financial benefit to Blackfriars, supporting our work as an educational institution within Oxford University.

Good Habit was created with the generous support of alumni, friends and grant-makers, to whom we are very grateful.
