Queen's Lane Coffee House
English coffee house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen's Lane Coffee House is a historic coffee house established by Cirques Jobson, a Levantine Jew from Syria.[1] Dating back to 1654, it is the oldest continually serving coffee house in Europe,[2][3] but it has only been on the present site (Oxford, England) since 1970.[4] The building in which it operates is a Grade II listed building.[4] It was in this coffee house where Jeremy Bentham first conceived of Utilitarianism.[5]

In 2009, it rebranded itself as "QL". There is a second, smaller, QL Café. Another Café QL (now called Café Bonjour) in Headington was once owned by the same family but was sold years ago.
The café has been owned by the same family since 1983.
