5 /5 Ines Abdesselam: A Truly Special Place in Oxford
La Croissanterie wasn’t just a café for me, it was a refuge, a warm and welcoming space during one of the most important times of my life.
When I first arrived in Oxford, the owners were among the very first people to make me feel at home. Throughout my pregnancy and later during my breastfeeding months, they were incredibly supportive and understanding. It went far beyond good tea/coffee and delicious pastries — it was genuine care.
I will never forget how she would kindly keep an eye on my son when I needed to use the loo, or how generous and attentive they always were with him. That level of true kindness and thoughtful care is something rare and precious.
La Croissanterie is not just a shop. It is a place built on heart, integrity, and community. I am deeply grateful for everything they have done for us, and I hope this beautiful family business continues to receive the support it truly deserves.
