In a city where cafés come and go, Bicester Café has quietly marked eight years of consistent charm and evolving relevance.

What began as a cozy neighbourhood café has grown into a dependable space for both work and celebration. Bicester has adapted by listening—closing for renovations in 2023 to create a more remote work-friendly atmosphere. With unlimited coffee, Wi-Fi, and comfortable seating, it’s become a go-to for digital nomads and professionals alike. It recently earned a nomination as Best Remote Work-Friendly Café in Cebu by the Digital Nomad Association Philippines.

Yet, Bicester isn’t only for productivity. Its warm interiors now host birthdays, reunions, and corporate events. The addition of cocktails and premium whiskeys reflects its shift from day café to evening hangout.

“We’re opening 207 Café soon in Banawa,” shares General Manager Jujemay Awit. “Expect the same all-day brunch favorites and cozy atmosphere, with a few surprises unique to the new space.”

Eight years in, Bicester remains grounded in community while confidently expanding its horizons—proof that staying relevant doesn’t mean chasing trends, but staying connected to the people you serve.
