Babbits in East Lindsey

Lovely independent cafe with fabulous home made scones and cakes. Excellent coffee and everything served on china crockery. Staff very attentive and friendly. Perfect pitstop when you are shopping in the locality. It's tucked away on Queen Street so you have to look for it but you won't be disappointed.

This is an amazing little find. We had been trying to find somewhere to take Mum and lad we stumbled upon Babbits. The food was amazing as were the staff, we must definitely be back

Absolutely lovely friendly cafe. Popped in for a drink and couldn't resist the scones.... gorgeous ! So tempted we had to buy some fruit and cheese scones to takeaway too. We were not disappointed...absolutely delicious we'll definitely be back.

We visited here today after a walk around Hubbards Hill. What a lovely place it is! The staff were very friendly and the cakes were very good, we went for the lemon drizzle and fat babbit. You could tell how popular it is as the place was busy, along with people popping in for takeaway. We debated to buy some cake to takeaway, but they had already been taken! Will definitely return if in the area 🙂

Just a stroll from the market place, what a find. Small, quaint tea room. Offering sandwiches and a lovely choice of scones (also takeaway). We opted for cheese scones with baked ham and pickle. Tea served in china cups. 40's music playing, was delightful. Took home date and walnut scones which were delicious.

What a great find. Delicious sandwiches, selection of cakes and scones all freshly baked. Great value and service too.

Found this little gem by accident. The homemade scones are delicious and the coffee tasted brill. Spotless clean, quirky china cups and saucers, perfection at its best. Visit a must.....

Whether you are a visitor or a regular you receive a very warm welcome. Our fat Babbit was delicious, plenty of fruit and nuts. The coffee was in a cafeterie, and we had one medium roast and one full roast. Both were lovely. Served in china cups and saucers. Marvellous

Fresh, home-baked scones & good coffee in individual cafetières and proper crockery. During Covid rules, there is no physical menu but there are sandwiches made to order too. We frequently visit on market mornings.

Lovely selection of scones and rock cakes as well as the usual fair of coffees and teas. You won't be dissapointed. Check opening times though as I believe they're not open every day.

Went to Louth for lunch whilst we transited north to meet friends and went here to get out of the rain. We had coffee and a cake. Both were fine and the service was great. That said it is not a cafe I would recommend for a quick meal, but if you are relaxed about the time, you'll enjoy the atmosphere. I would go again.

Signs on the main street of Louth advertised this cafe and we thought we'd give it a try. We didn't have much time so we opted for a scone and tea. What could have been simpler? We sat and sat, and eventually someone came for our order. We sat waiting again for our order to arrive and after 20 minutes gave up and walked out. Despite there only being around 4/5 tables in this cafe it was totally unsatisfactory to be ignored in this way. I mean how long does it take to put a scone on a plate and a teabag in a teapot! That was our 1st visit to Babbits and unfortunately will be our last.

As the title says, brilliant scones , not used the tea room yet but it does look very nice and traditional

A cute little tea room that serves delicious home made cakes scones and sandwiches. We would recommend a visit.

Everything is delicious and the only downside is having to choose! It's always very busy and hard to find a seat, but I'm very happy to have a takeaway sandwich, scone and sometimes some chocolate cake too! They're very friendly too.

I like to pop into her when visiting Louth. Homemade Cakes and Scones. They do nice Coffee and Sandwiches too.

Great find. Super scones and tea. Good service too. Real find. Very small but worth looking for. No more to say.

I think the title says it all. Only a small place but the coffee, cakes and scones are really great, definitely try the Fat Babbit. Will be going back next time we're in Louth.

My sister and I came across Babbits by accident - a very unpretencious little bakery and coffee shop that serves the most delicious coffee and the best scones we have ever eaten. We left after buying plenty of scones to freeze for later and bread - their small tin organic wholemeal loaf is also the best I have had in a long, long time. We both live in York and have the famous Bettys on our doorstep - I wish we had a Babbits!

Stopped by for tea and cake with my daughter, they have a lovely tea called China Rose that is taken black and has absolutely no bitter tast to it at all. We also had a slice of lemon cake that was moist and lemony, just as it should be

Cycled into the town, hungry and in need of coffee, fell upon this place ... good choice of coffees and teas, well made coffee and the right strength. Sandwiches ordered... all fresh fillings and made to order, and presented well.

We found this cafe by accident and popped in to order some sandwiches to take away. We decided to have a pot of coffee whilst we were waiting. We did not have any food (though the cakes and scones looked very tempting!) but the coffee was excellent and really reasonably priced. The cafe is obviously really popular with local people and there was a cheerful, friendly buzz about the place whilst we were there. It's a little thing, but a good cup of coffee in a friendly atmosphere can really brighten up the day! (the sandwiches were good, too...)

Simply the best treats, all freshly made scones and cakes. Lovely fresh Coffee. A very Clean, cosy and friendly environment. A must if u are visiting the tr area. PLEASE OPEN A BRANCH IN LONDON.!

Small little cafe, an ideal place for a light snack and a drink, with a selection of different teas and coffees available. A limited selection of bigger meals are also served. Worth finding.

Visited Louth and stopped off at Babbits to purchase some of their Fat Babbits which are excellent. A sort of scone/rock cake combination and taste wonderful. The gentleman was very friendly who served us and the coffee shop was already full just after they opened so very popular.

Called in after reading other reviews. Was sad to be disappointed by several things: the scones were leaden and not especially fresh, and accompanying portions of jam and cream were a bit on the small side. There is no gluten free provision of bread or cakes, which is frustrating. The staff were friendly, but seemed easily overwhelmed by just three covers and then very distracted by a friend calling into the shop to chat.

I asked Suzy (The Owner) to bake me some cakes for my sisters baby shower. She explained to me that she doesn't usually cater for events but as i was a good customer she wanted to help me. So Suzy and her daughter went hard at work baking me all these delicious brownies and scones and cakes for the baby shower. They also made me lots of sandwiches for everyone to eat.

Came across this little place by chance seeking somewhere for a spot of lunch. The sandwiches were freshly made and very tasty. The home made scones delicious and we took away a 'fat rascal' each to eat later. A tiny cafe in a quaint style featuring beautiful vintage china crockery and traditional furniture. Lovely. Would certainly visit again..

Pasamos a través de Louth y encontramos esta tienda pequeño y encantador con un montón de tortas tentadoras en la ventana incluye grasa Babbits que son simplemente fabuloso! Nos tiene algo similar desde el salón de té famoso en Harrogate, pero éstas eran aún más agradable. Una especie de pastel rock/bollo.

Amazing bakery gorgeous scones and their brownies are to die for. If your visiting louth you have to visit babbits ☕🍰

Impromptu visit for a coffee and cake and wasn't disappointed. Good coffee, delicious scones and great service. Highly recommended a visit.

Recommended by a local and took some finding bur well worth it. Awesome scones, scone/rock cake hybrid and (particularly) ginger cake. So friendly too, as we were last before closing, were gifted leftover scones. 😀

a very oldie worldie little store smells of fresh ground coffee and has home made cakes at a very reasonable price the scones are a must to try soooo yummy

awesome scones best ever tasted ,

Nos Encontramos con un amigo para tomar café y tarta. Pequeño y amable, pero no me impresionó la planta se extendió mientras estábamos comiendo.

My wife and I had lunch here whilst visiting Louth. We had simple but very delicious ham and cheese toasted sandwich and a toasted smoke salmon and cream cheese bagel, with a superb freshly ground Java coffee. Followed by a slice of thick and delightful brownie. However, it was the scones which brought us here as we had heard good things by another guest at hotel we stayed at. We were not disappointed. They are wonderful, so is the lemon drizzle cake and ginger cake which we had to take away too!! To top it all, the lady owner who served us was charming and very informative about the local area. We we defiantly recommend this cafe, and we'll be back again.

Visited a number of times. Specialise in home made scones, teas and cafetière coffees. Great service and very reasonableness priced.

Delicious always friendly lovely food faultless go,there very often. Cheese scones highly recommended

As ever best quality tea, coffee and sandwiches.The cakes are to die for. Yes, you can buy tea and cake cheaper elsewhere but nowhere near the quality.

Called in here today a Louth market day and trying out places not previously visited. Lovely cafetiere for one at £2.50, they sell a selection of home made scones and rock cakes, as well as Taylors loose leaf tea, and roast and ground coffee beans. Only tiny but well laid out with small wooden tables, nicely presented with china cups & saucers.

Only a few tables so we te earlier than we intended for lunch in case it got full, which it did before we left. We shared a ham and cheese sandwich to leave room for the delicious looing cakes we had seen on display. Our sandwich was served on 2 plates as we had said we would be sharing, which was a good star. The bread was nice nd fresh and the Lincolnshire ham tasty. The ginger cake was good and the fat rascal excellent, better than Bettys in York. Cafitieere of good quality coffee, enough for 3to fill 3 china cups, served with hot milk as we requested. The café is not flash but very clean and nice home made food.

Very ignorant left standing at door to be served for 5 mins then told they would seat us in a minute waited another 5 min to be told there is no space there was seats available during the day , please don't waste your money don't desever your custom

We popped into Babbits for our mid morning "Tea & a bun" it is very small with friendly pleasent staff, seems to specialise in home made cakes & scones and sells a wide variety of coffee beans.Our delicious tea was served in a large china pot and lovely china cups, we do however think that the cakes, scones & sandwiches to eat in were over priced. A scone to take away 80 pence to eat in £2.20, a slice of ginger cake to take away £1.50 to eat in £2.70. The prices to take away look very reasonable but why so expensive to eat in with a pot of tea???For us something not quite right which is a shame.

We stopped for a brew and piece of cake in this quaint little cafe recently. The decor is nice but nothing fancy. There are a lot of delicious looking homemade cakes on display However, the service was very good with really attentive staff (just the three, I think). I had a fat rascal and cafitiere coffee. The coffee was fine but the cake was amazing. It really was delicious, one of the best cakes i've had.Babbits is nothing fancy, but it is a super little place to stop for a cake and cuppa.

It may sound strange but how many cafe/restaurants can make a tasty sandwich? In my experience the bread is often past its' best and the filling meagre or tasteless. At Babbits, the choice is small but again in my experience that is normally a good thing because it means what they make is usually well made and the ingredients fresh. The sandwiches are delicious, fresh bead, fresh fillings and the cakes are exceptional especially the scones. The tea and coffee, again are full of flavour and the service is friendly, efficient and warm.I cannot fault Babbits, and will certainly go back again and again.

Yummy homemade cakes, cream teas delicious. Friendly family run tea room with a really quirky edge. Really look forward my weekly visits. Love the music that's played too.

Went in a while back for a scone and cup of tea. Not increadibly impressed. Unfortunately (for babbits/chizzlewits)my partner makes better scones and the service was non-existent. I'm hoping that the recent move of babbits into the Chizzlewits tea shop will mean an improvement in the quality of both the products and service.

Had a wonderful sandwich and brew of tea Sept 2012. Just been back - April 2013 - and there's no sign of you, just some fancy furniture shop. Have you moved elsewhere. Can't believe you may have gone out of business.

Amazing cakes and sandwiches which are extremely fresh and tasty. Staff very friendly. Would highly recommend.

Caught in a sudden snowstorm we nipped in here for a hot drink and a warm up. I can imagine the eclectic décor not to everyone's taste, a mixture of vivid bright colour and vintage, but we found it rather quirky and fun. We had an excellent hot chocolate and a delicious ginger scone, both I would recommend! Staff were friendly and helpful and the prices were very reasonable!

Beautiful cakes and wonderful friendly service. Definately a must.

We called into this small cafe --Louth has become the centre of fish and chip land these days and fast food --This cafe is different to that, but the tea was scalding hot and not that tasty and the sandwiches although quite expensive were tiny ---would not go again
