The entire menu is offered as gluten free. Plenty of options of savoury and sweet. Service was warm and welcoming. Food was fresh and plentiful. Beautiful sun trap in the back nestled away from the busy Main Street. Would definitely go back next time I’m in Lincoln.

We had a lovely afternoon tea & craft session for a friend's baby shower today. The sandwiches and cakes were all delicious, lots of different tea/coffee to choose from, the vegan options for food/drink just as nice as the omni! The craft idea to fit with the theme was perfect, and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Really thankful for all their help and going out of their way to make it a special afternoon. Not forgetting the brilliant celebration cake made too. Highly recommend!- Service

Hidden Gem! Enjoyed a delicious lunch for 2 here recently. Highly recommend the tuna mayo panini and smoked salmon cream cheese bagel. There is an impressive range of cakes/tray bakes - all home made! You will not be able to resist! Excellent service and the cappuccino was made perfectly. I highly recommend. We will be coming again.

They had catered a special hen party event for us and it was amazing! The most fun I've had in such a long time! The staff were so lovely and friendly and had such a good laugh with us. They really helped us create some amazing patches even though I had no idea what I was doing. The afternoon tea spread was delicious, I would definitely recommend you go and visit even if its just for a nice coffee and a browse. Amazing place :)What a wonderful discovery. The main road may be loud and noisy outside, but this is a cosy and warm location, with tasty treats on the menu and a colourful atmosphere. It's quiet and a good place to recharge. Thoroughly recommend this lovely place, staffed by super friendly people. Plenty of veggie options available too 😀

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review Harlow 😊
This cafe was a life saver for me due to my chronic back pain. As well as a sit down I enjoyed a very nice cup of coffee and the aroma of chocolate cake was heavenly and I bought a Chocolate cherry brownie to take home and it was delicious. The ladies running the cafe were lovely and friendly and I definitely recommend this cafe.
went for their queer crafting event and had a lovely little time, very good food and a really nice space full of cool people! cosy cafe yay go give them all your patronage immediately

Thank you so much for the kind words Mandy x
Very nice food friendly staff and craft and fabric room is heaven as well. Great for us crafters as put your lunch order in and we have it altogether and ready when we are . Homemade cakes to die for .
Superb coffee and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Interesting old building it's located in. Parking is a bit iffy although if you are lucky you can get a half hour spot around the corner. Right on the edge of town though if you want a break. It is also known for its crafts and classes. I recommend it.

Thank you so much for leaving us a review. They mean the world to us. We hope to see you again soon x
What a little gem of a cafe/ crèche for the abandoned husband whilst his better half is distracted at Fabric Corner next door. The only improvement I would recommend is a screen showing the test match and maybe a licensed fridge ?
