The Best Cafes in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Food would of got more stars if the choice was better .it's 90% mostly vegetarian !

Very welcoming staff. Lovely menu, delicious paninis. Set in the old Ropery. Would definitely recommend

A delightful café located at the south end of the ropewalk, it has a fantastic atmosphere with many of the buildings older features visible and wood styling. The food is quite good, they do a fantastic range of sandwiches and paninis, a little pricey but as expected of a café, the staff are very friendly and the service is exceptional.

Very good food, staff always pleasant. We regularly frequent this place just wished they were open Mondays.

Very friendly, good prices and good food. The home made cakes/tray bakes are to die for....

Cannot praise enough the quality food and service. The home made cakes made in house are spectacular, coleslaw scrummy and sandwiches tasty and plentiful.

as the executive chairman of Barton town cricket club The teas that you provided today was top class and well received and many thanks for your quality and well presented food every was impressed with it

Had breakfast this morning after visiting Barton to do the parkrun. The food and attentive service was excellent. Would highly recommend the full English and the smashed avocado. Thank you so much.

Very tasty food, delicious wine and very friendly service. It did take a while for the food to come out, but we weren't in a hurry so it was fine. We just had more wine. Loved the decor. We will definitely be back, thank you. 😊

Fantastic food served by chef Josh. The flavours were amazing, perfectly cooked fish and excellent presentation. The best seabass I’ve had by a country mile. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

A really lovely place, lots of space and the food is really good and well priced. Steak pie (which actually had steak in it!!) with a mountain of fries, peas and lots of beef gravy, and a chicken supreme burger (the photo doesn't do it justice) with homemade chips which was fantastic. To top it off the bar staff working the day we went were great, welcoming, chatty and witty. Well worth a visit.

Top quality meals, 2 racks of ribs with homemade chips and a side of onion rings. £19.99 bogof!!

I am usually with a group when I go to The Mill - Muse Poets, most often. It's a lovely venue for small meetings like ours, and we have also had events there with larger numbers attending. The food at these events is excellent, with everyone catered for. I'm vegan, and the menu offers several choices for me and for vegetarian friends. If I have any negative points, it can only be that the portions are absolutely MASSIVE! I tried Gyros last time I ate there, and could only manage half!

The food here is excellent with a good choice of different meals and desserts. The portion sizes are very large.

Had breakfast here today, breakfast was excellent value for money, service was good, the place is clean my only gripe was the cuppa, I prefer a different tea, stronger, but that won't put me off going again 😋

I’ve just eaten at the Bus station Cafe and my goodness I was not disappointed! The service was exemplary, felt as warm and friendly as if I was visiting family! The food was delightful and was the best full English (double decker) that I have had in a long long time! I will 100% be coming back here again! Thank you so much! 😊

Classical scholars will tell you that Ambrosia is the food of the gods...its not its the full English breakfast with proper Lincolnshire sausage.This is a great little cafe with a great menu and fantastic food, very clean and very friendly. It's Saturday breakfast with the boys but the lunch options are just as good or just drinks and a light bite even has a vegetarian option definitely coming again 👍

Brilliant find on our way North, very friendly staff, good quality freshly cooked food and dog friendly. Prices also good. We will definitely be stopping here on our next trip North. Car park opposite.

Sad circumstances (a wake) but just wanted to say how lovely the staff were and the afternoon tea was really good. Best cup of tea I've had in ages too!

I've always enjoyed eating at Petticoats, great food, lovely staff, so knew exactly where to get an afternoon tea when I had to isolate. They didn't disappoint. The freshest sandwiches with exquisite fillings, piping hot freshly baked scones and delicious cakes, ready and waiting for my husband to collect😋😋 Looking forward to isolation ending so I can visit again in person

Absolutely smashed it. We used this company to cater at our wedding. We had a marquee set up in our little village in the Lincolnshire wolds, Julie and her team smashed it out the park. The food was outstanding. We went to her with our menu choices and she’s was able to cater with no issue at all. If your looking for a caterer then look no further

Amazing food, amazing staff and an amazing experience, we often go out for breakfast/lunch and this is by far the best in Grantham!!! Wish I could give 10 stars!

This cafe was my favourite place during uni, the staff are super friendly and it has such a cozy atmosphere. The food is amazing, offering both sweet and savoury waffles. They also do gluten free waffles and always ask whether it’s a preference an intolerance or coeliac. I’m really going to miss this place and would definitely recommend!!

Possibly the best coffee I’ve had in Lincoln so far. The menu revolves around dishes with waffles as the name implies. My breakfast was all well cooked and tasty, but my waffle was cold for some reason. The staff are all really good. Definitely worth a visit.

Very friendly host and staff, we had vegan waffle and coffee. Would definitely recommend :)

Cute cafe in the old part of town, just by the bus and train terminal. Super clean and greeted by super friendly staff. Also food is amazing, from traditional breakfasts to toasties, burgers or shepherds pie and all the trimmings. Not to mention the fresh brownies/cheesecake and a proper coffee machine.👌

Called in 14th October 2020 while out cycling with Pals. Very nice little Cafe in town. Very nice food and a latte. Staff where great, very good service, we will be back 👍👍🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Stop off occasionally on a Saturday or on my way to work. Smashing pots of tea and the food is awesome. Park in the bus station car park and it's a 2 minute walk. Well worth it, you'll easily miss it if you pass by in the car.

Lovely food. Only one server for the amount of orders taken which caused small delays in little things but she remained polite and helpful which was lovely. Please be aware this business does not take card however bank transfer is available if you don't have cash on you

This coffee shop is wonderful. The staff are so helpful and friendly. We both ordered flatbreads and the skinny, skin on fries. The portion of fries was enough for two to share and very moreish! The ingredients are locally sourced. They also had a fabulous array of cakes but we were too full to take advantage of them. 🍰🎂

Nice welcome when I walked in. Ordered a latte and a small breakfast. .didn't wait long and the coffee came. It was hot and tasted nice. The breakfast soon came. I didn't want mushroom so had an extra hash brown and I had asked for scrambled eggs. The sausage was nice flavour and everything thing was good perfect. I really enjoyed it all. Also the Internet is fast if needed.

Tried Delfinos for the first time last weekend. Very impressed with the setting, seating, staff, atmosphere. The food was excellent , we had breakfast fayre, lattes and hot chocolate. Thank you to the team we will return 👍👍

The best coffee house I've ever been to, and I do know my coffee stuff. As simple as that, a real hidden gem !!

Good food, be prepared for a little bit of a wait if busy. When the cafe is in full swing it is rather loud which can be a problem to those that are hard of hearing.

Wonderful place! Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and tasty, fresh food. Will be visiting again!

Well, 4.7 stars says it all. Went here for the first time today as we've just moved to the area and we were very happy with the food and service and the cafe itself is very nicely decorated. Well done ladies and thanks. Will see you again.

Busy little place filled with happy customers. Lots of elderly locals catching up and chattering happily.
