Bar Unico in Lincoln

Lovely coffee and fantastic cakes.

Brilliant coffee, ice cream and Italian food.

Best coffee in Lincoln! I always look forward to visiting ☕️

Amazing place!! It's great for some delicious coffee & cake but the pizzas are something else it's the best I've ever had!!

Lovely breakfasts, with several GF options. Recommend the smashed avocado, or the poached eggs if avcados unavailable.

Lovely breakfasts - try the smashed avocado, or just poached eggs. Well cooked and presented. GF options available (GF bread), with items marked on the menu.

A relaxing oasis in the city centre. Stop here for coffee and cake or, as I did, a light lunch while I was waiting for a train. I had pizza which was, as described on the menu, a light lunch. Don’t order this if you want a gut-busting pizza as it’s not that type of place. The pizza was good (but not exceptional - not sure the pizza base was made on site) and my wife’s sandwich was good, too, with top quality ingredients. Love the atmosphere and the decor is smart.

Great little cafe, staff very friendly and welcoming. Food is very nice.

Short visit for a birthday gelato with my daughter: we sampled pistachio,chocolate and strawberry and it was yummy!

Quick lunch break. Tasty sandwich

Delicious coffee, great selection of desserts

Good choice for a quick tasty lunch

Amazing food and service, would highly recommend. Authentic freshly baked Italian style ciabetta sandwich Unico Special with beautiful spinach and ricotta cake desert to follow. Would highly recommend! a gem of a place in the heart of Lincoln.

I am a huge coffee lover and Bar Unico, in my opinion, serves the best coffee in Lincoln! The service and staff are amazing, highly recommend! 💯

I recently attempted to have a coffee here and wanted to sit outside, however the outside area was full of smokers so I went elsewhere. Although I must say I recently visited their Horncastle outlet which was devoid of smokers. 😁

Been meaning to try here for a long time, it did not disappoint, the food was glorious. I had the unico special pizza. All fresh and made in house. Also because I had a nice seat in the window I goto see everyone else’s food pass by, which too looked amazing. The service is fantastic, greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. I throughly enjoyed my lunch here and I will be back again to try some other things. It’s also worth noting that they do offer gluten free options!

We rate the food and service highly, however last Saturday was the 3 time we've been on a Saturday afternoon and either couldn't order food or were given only 1 option, on all occasions this has happened 2 hrs or more before the stated closing time. This has been all the more frustrating as we go out or way to eat there as we enjoy it and prefer to support independent businesses, if full menu service ends at 2 please state it.

Nice soft music very polite staff

Went to private casual gathering for a 6oth birthday celebration on Saturday evening - great venue for 20- 40 people, the service was very friendly and the buffet (vegetarian) food they provided was excellent - much better than most buffets. I don't live in Lincoln, if I did I would be going to the cafe during the day

Rented this venue for a 60th birthday party.Had great vegetarian buffet,which also catered for lactose intolerant and vegan dietary requirements. Everyone praised the food even the meat eaters. The staff were great as was the service. Would recommend this as an excellent party venue.

Great food and drinks, lovely staff

We had a minestrone soup which was delicious then I had a mango tart but it didn't taste of mango it was very bland

What a delightful find. Beautiful cakes and nice coffee

I had the Bar Unico breakfast and my wife has the salmon and poached egg on toast both of which we good.

Ordered pizza but fairly plain. Nothing out of the ordinary. Cakes and desserts looked good... perhaps next time.

I've had many nutella milkshakes from this place its a lovely place. The staff are cool especially the huge guy with a beard he's a very nice guy; I'd want to play a game of chess with him. I really recommend also I love the glass the milkshake comes in.

The best coffee in the city centre! I usually have soup or pasta, always fresh, really tasty. I'm looking forward to trying the range of gelato in warmer weather! Great service, good value, a lovely place.

I have been coming here for years- on my own, with family and friends- and I have never left disappointed- the staff feel like friends- they are so kind, tolerant and considerate- it feels like family- they go above and beyond- even if it’s the first time they have met you, the food is delicious- thank you for being here - alsways leave feeling content/ comforted - happy new year to you all x

Wonderful place, great food, lovely staff.

Really good place for a snack and drink

Lovely place for lunch, waiter recommended food which was so good.

A lovely, relaxed and quiet spot for breakfast! Really friendly staff too. Looking forward to another visit!

We just stopped for a coffee here one Saturday. It's a pleasant little place with friendly staff and the coffee was good. The cakes looked great but we'd not long had breakfast. Some people were also sitting outside having delicious-looking flatbreads so this is one I'd like to revisit for lunch.

Excellent products, fast service. You cannot beat the piadina. Authentic Italian taste.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Would definitely eat here again!

A friend hired this in the evening for a private 60th birthday party. Fabulous venue. Food was excellent . Staff where friendly and attentive. Also me and my partner regular go for coffee and cake and have always had a good experience

I visited on a Saturday after with a friend. We had coffee and beer and they a good number choices including dairy-free milks, Almond and Soya. It was rather busy but a very nice Italian cafe. I will definitely return soon 😀 Best Coffee shop by far

Best place in Lincoln to get ice cream! I come here regularly for their tiramisu ice cream which is miles better than the gelato they have in the Mediterranean. The rest of the food is mouth-wateringly delightful too. I’m usually served by a lovely blonde lady called Jess who is always smiling and welcoming. She has a great presence, good banter, and adds to the charm of the bar. I’ve always felt safe and happy here at Bar Unicos due to the friendly servers who are very attentive. Bar Unico literally feels like you’re relaxing in another country, and trust me, yo tengo familia en espana, and Bar Unicos takes me to the Mediterranean coast with their good vibes and great drinks/foods everytime. Coming here feels like a getaway, a blissful escape, and warming ambience. After living in Lincoln for over 10 years, I won’t have tiramisu gelato from anywhere else ❤️

Wonderful place, wonderful food, and wonderful servers. Best place for ice cream and coffees that transports you right to the Mediterranean ☀️ Shout out to a server called Jess who is very attentive and friendly. Always serves with a smile and makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend the tiramisu gelato, it’s out of this world 😍

Amazing little spot that does some really delicious food

I went on my own and again with my cousin. My particular coffee order and table preference was remembered. Coffee was good, also filled croissant was well worth the short wait. I have confirmed recommendation to rest of family.

Fantastic independent coffee shop just off Lincoln High St. Coffee had good flavour and was reasonably priced and their ice cream and milkshakes are without peers. Great place to take a break whilst struggling with the grind of shopping.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch before catching a train and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, the coffee superb, and the little patio was cute! We had the Bruscetta Special and the Burrata Salad- both absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for a lunch if you’re in the area and in the mood for some fresh Italian!

Just a great place to enjoy a lovely coffee, great service and tasty treats

I visited for the first time today,excellent service,lovely atmosphere and lovely food.:) A*********

Excellent service. Delicious food! Perfect drinks. Iced coffee is probably the nicest I’ve ever had. Also had an Aperol spritz which tasted fantastic and just how it should be made. Couldn’t recommend enough. Warm friendly welcome! Well done to all the team for making this a lovely place to visit.

Since being introduced by a good friend many years ago (who knows good coffee and excellent food!) I keep gravitating back to this place for meetings.... Whilst the likes of Costa and Starbucks do 'nice' coffee, Bar Unico does beautiful coffee and amazing cakes with a family atmosphere. If you want a taste of how coffee should be you must go to Bar Unico!!

Love visiting here! Staff are so nice, great coffee, cakes are heaven on a plate & atmosphere is good. Highly recommend.

Went a few times over the weekend. Really good coffee ☕ - pizza also a good choice. Well priced and always good customer service.

Coffee delicious as always. Staff very friendly and helpful. Today I had lemon pancake and I can honestly say best one I have ever tasted. My husband had rustic toast and marmalade. Again very tasty. Bar Unico always our first stop when we visit Lincoln.

Stopped for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly atmosphere and good food. Staff were efficient and helpful. Will definitely return.

We ate here for the first time yesterday. It certainly won’t be the last. The food was delicious, the coffee was excellent and the cake after was absolutely to die for. All that along with really nice friendly staff is a winning combination. Add that to a very reasonably priced bill and you have the perfect formula for customers who will return. Like us!!

Food was reasonable, nothing extraordinary. Atmosphere was good but small place, a little bit tight. Staff was insistent but nice.

Very pleasant environment. Food delicious. Ideal for ladies who lunch.😊

I love coming to bar unico! Friendly staff, amazing coffee and food, especially the pizza and cakes. The owner Gio is extremely welcoming. Can’t fault anything. See you again soon Bar Unico

The coffee is superb. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is fabulous. A jewel in Lincoln's crown and very central.

Popped in for breakfast while visiting the Xmas market, food was delicious and served quickly. Cappuccino was lovely, I almost felt (wishful thinking maybe!) that we were in Italy :o) Will definitely return when we're back in Lincoln.

We wandered here in search of breakfast. Very pleasant and friendly independent coffee bar with food. Excellent coffee, and an imaginative veggie-friendly offering. Understated, but doing exactly what it says "on the box".

Excellent cafe, great coffees, great food, wonderful cakes and excellent customer service. A little bit of Italian warmth on a cold December day🙂

Just what the high street needed. A break from having a toastie at Starbucks. Good food and friendly service.

assolutamente favoloso absolutely fabulous

Favourite place for coffee, popped in with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed an oat milk latte and slice of courgette and lime cake. Nothing beats it! Couldn’t recommend Gio and the team more.

Came in with my sister for lunch at the weekend and we can’t get enough of this place! No where else compares, the coffee is the best in Lincoln and the food is always expertly made and tastes fantastic! Not to mention the staff make...

I have been to bar Unico a few times over the last 5 years and this was the first time that I came with my little toddler. I always thought that coffee and cakes are absolutely amazing and so is the sound of sandwiches and...

A welcome coffee and cake just off the High Street in Lincoln. Always like to support the small independent producers and stay away form the big names, especially post Covid when so many have struggled. That apart, it was the best coffee we had all...

Excellent piza, excellent wine, excellent coffee excellent cake excellent service. Highly recommended.

Nice welcome & good pot of strong tea - just the ticket after the walk from an expensive car park. The cakes looked very tempting & all around very clean & well presented. Thank you.

Lovely Italian cafe with traditional foods. I had a light ciabata sandwich which was so fresh and tasty. Great coffee to.

The best and nicest place for your lunch, mid work or as a visitor. Excellent coffee quality and true Italian food! Best sandwich and pizza you will have, if you don't believe me why not give it a go! Gracie to all the staff and would 100% recommend!

Amazing pizza and everything is soooo delicious in this cafe. Services are amazing. Ice cream is wonderful! Thank you so much

Excellent coffee, great bread and dips too!

Amazing. One of the best lunches I’ve every had . . . and to think we were considering Costa or Starbucks. This lovely little find is so much better with gorgeous authentic food. Will visit again!

Genovese and Bar Unico special coffee was great!

The very best of Italian food. Family run business, staff are efficient and friendly. Serves mouth watering Gelato.

We hired Gio and his ice cream cart for my daughters wedding celebration. Fabulous flavours and service. Highly recommend

Nice lunchtime food menu, good humerous service!

A wonderfully authentic italian coffee bar, with friendly service and delicious food!

Original and authentic Italian food - nothing standard at all - and very good quality. Super staff with good tips and advice. Obviously has lots of regulars.

Looking for lunch we were tempted by the menu. The staff were friendly & welcoming. We ordered a pizza each and shared a side salad. These were very nice. As we had clean plates we allowed ourselves to browse the cake bar and shared a...

Lovely place for breakfast, the only place we found that served fruit and granola as well as more indulgent options Lovely coffee and staff are really friendly

Great family run, welcoming place to be. Really helpful staff where nothing is too much trouble. Great selection of sweet and savoury, just like being in Tuscany right in the heart of beautiful Lincoln. Authentic food, cooked traditionally, love that you can sit outside and...

Lovely place for quality coffee and good good. Great friendly staff

Beautiful cafe with fabulous pizzas. The affogato is amazing and well worth a visit just for that. Really lovely and friendly staff also.

Fantastic fresh Italian sandwiches and pizza. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Inside and outside seating. Cake and ice-cream to finish!

Delicious sandwich and ice cream! The drinks were great too and all very reasonably priced. Excellent, friendly service by Costa, were looking forward to our next visit!

Very friendly staff- very patient with my son. Fabulous, authentic Italian food. What more could you want?

Very good service friendly environment (Πολύ καλή εξυπηρέτηση φιλικό περιβάλλον)

First time here and wasn't disappointed coffee great and the cake was amazing. Great people. Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks.

I’ve been going to Bar Unico the last two months, and there services has been nothing but exceptional, staff get engaged with customers, remember names and order and are always laughing and smiling. Apart from this, there food is brilliant, and presented nicely. Would definitely...

Amazing!! With restrictions easing and outdoor seating available, I was eager to go to Bar Unico for some normality and I was not disappointed! Despite all tables being full, service was excellent and as always the food and coffee was nothing short of perfection! If you want a taste of Italy with the added pleasure of friendly staff and service with a smile, definitely make sure you take a trip to Bar Unico!

Excellent service- staff friendly- recommended

This is such a nice place to get a bite to eat or some lovely gelato.

First visit today, asked for coffee with soya milk. Checked receipt and it stated almond milk? I queried this with staff and she said they had used almond milk?? I wasn't too bothered, however, if anyone didn't notice this and they were allergic to nuts, in particular almonds this would be unpleasant to say the least. Staff need to check this before serving in future. Also , my friend was paying and i wasnt happy it cost an extra 60p for said milk??!!

Amazing place, best coffee in Lincoln and the choice of freshly home made cakes and food is unrivalled.

By far the best cafe in Lincoln, not just for the coffee or just something to eat but how you are made to feel so welcome in the shop I would highly recommend

Lovely Italian food, very friendly staff.

Gorgeous coffee and cakes and excellent customer service

Friendly welcoming atmosphere and amazing food.....highly recommend.

Lovely lunch menu nice coffee and friendly staff
