Beeyoutiful Café in Oxford has received a one-out-of-five food hygiene rating following an inspection in September.

Beeyoutiful Café, also known as Bee's Panini, Brunch & Treats, in Templars Square Shopping Centre at 35 Upper Bar in Oxford, has received a one-out-of-five food hygiene rating following an inspection in September. Environmental Health Officers from Oxford City Council deemed the eatery to need 'urgent improvement'.

Three areas were identified for improvement. Hygienic food handling—including preparation, cooking, reheating, cooling and storage—needed 'major improvement'. The cleanliness and condition of facilities and building required 'urgent improvement', encompassing appropriate layout, ventilation, hand-washing facilities and pest control. Food safety management, including systems and checks to ensure safe food, staff knowledge and future standards, also needed 'urgent improvement'.

This is the café's first low rating. It had received five-out-of-five at inspections in February 2022 and January 2024. The business, which opened in Cowley around 2020, is known for its colourful interiors, desserts, bespoke cakes, full English and vegetarian breakfasts, and serves the only gelato available in Templars Square shopping centre.
