Coffee Culture in Lincoln - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very friendly staff. The white chocolate millionaire shortbread was delicious.

It seems this place is under new management and, unfortunately, it is going down. Service was slower than it used to be, which wouldn’t be a problem if the food was worth the wait. Unfortunately that was not the case. I used to love the cheese on toast, which was a real treat for me. I ordered that a couple of days ago and was so disappointed with what I got. There was less cheese than before and the bread wasn’t sufficiently toasted leaving it soggy rather than crisp as it used to be. Very disappointing - I don’t think I’ll be going there again.

Excellent & friendly service. Good coffee and price.

I was excited to try the new bailgate location as I had walked past it a few times and the venue itself looks cool, cosy and just what the bailgate needed. We ordered a chicken salad and sandwich as they looked great! The cafe itself is busy so you can appreciate waiting a little time for your food (25 mins) and we weren’t in a rush. However, I was a little disappointed with the sandwich as we received the end of the bread, for a £10 sandwich I wouldn’t expect this. The salad itself was okay, but the salad was pre bought sliced chicken, it would have been nice to have some fresh chicken in there for the price. These are simple things that can make all of the difference and I wouldn’t have mind paying the cost for. The coffee itself it’s great, this was the best part - lots of cake options too.

Was grabbing a drink for my wife in the new uphill location, I was the only customer ordering at the time so not busy at all. Got home to find out wrong drink had been provided. Staff pushing customers to review which I understand helps the business, but somewhat pushy in asking for them to include pictures, where to post them etc

Had a latte, hot chocolate with cream and marshmallow bits on top with family. Generally a nice place to meet and have coffee etc.

Just..... Incredible. Having visited all of the coffee shops around Bailgate and uphill Lincoln, this place is incredible. From menu, to price, to the simply amazing staff team this is an absolute must visit if you are out for coffee...coffee and cake.... lunch...or simply a get together with family and friends. We were made to feel welcome, the food and drink commands a price twice what we paid and the staff were simply amazing. If Michelin gave stars for coffee shops, we've just experienced the finest there is. Thank you so much, we will be back!!! Whatever it is your team have...BOTTLE IT and sell that, it is rare the customer service meets the incredibly high standards of the menu, but you have nailed it, THANK YOU

Quite like the decor and what they've done . . but the coffee was not nice! No flavour. I asked for skinny decaf latte but somehow missed out on any coffee, or froth. It was watery and bland

I don't normally write reviews unless they are fab or awful. Sad to say this place was awful. Staff were unfriendly, pricing misinfo and non existent pricing on items. Slow service and very expensive all things considered. Avoid at all costs

Great people, excellent food and always a nice ambience...very friendly and now is my local coffee shop. Italian chicken wrap I just had was to die for. Cakes some of the best too, and I go a lot of coffee shops!

What a little gem. Incredibly friendly staff and ridiculously good value for money. We’ve seen the store front loads of times but have often been disappointed when going to independent coffee shops so never bothered to try it. We were passing yesterday and were desperate for a drink and a light snack so went in. Why have we never been before!! We were greeted by the friendliest staff and a very inspiring menu for brunch. Not only was the food delicious, it was incredibly good value. 2 hot drinks, two thick cut portions of cheese on toast (4 slices with dressed salad) and 2 delicious cakes for twenty quid!!! All of the staff were friendly, chatty and couldn’t do enough for the customers. It’s clearly very popular with a lot of regulars so always seems to be busy, but the welcome you receive as a new customer is second to none. Don’t do what we did in the past and walk past! Go in, eat and drink, you won’t be disappointed

Friendly staff good coffee nice atmosphere what more can you ask for

Lovely local feel coffee shop - happy to help staff. Friendly feel. Delicious coffee n cakes. Fresh made fare. Chill atmosphere. Enjoy x

Good food, service and atmosphere. Busy coffee shop with a good variety of cakes and sandwiches/ panini. Quality coffee.

Lovely coffee shop. Great drinks. Fairly pricey though.

Come here for coffee regularly with our baby group and the ladies who serve us are always so lovely and kind. The food is fresh and tasty, and the coffee is great too. We often stay a good few hours and are always well taken care of. The staff really do make this place what it is, a lovely, warm, welcoming coffee shop perfect for spending a few hours with friends at.

First visit to this venue, very nice will definitely return again.

Called in after a long 2 hour dog walk, ordered hot chocolate and a scone. The ladies were busy, but service was never the less prompt. The hot chocolate was good but not the same can be said for the scone. When i started buttering the scone it just crumbled to nothing, i returned it and was told maybe it was the last one from yesterday… i was given a replacement and told they were fresh in that morning. The replacement was equally crumbly and poor quality. I seriously suggest a change of supplier or start making them yourself.

Really tasty wrap and sausage roll. Was pleasantly surprised by the syrup coffees. Such a lovely independent coffee shop. We’ll definitely be back!

No vegan food so just had coffee.

First time popping in, just for a latte to go. Service was 10/10 greeted so beautifully. The ladies are so sweet and nice. Atmosphere is wonderful definitely will come and try more when u have more time.

This coffee shop has so much potential and there isn't any competition in the area. The seating was extremely poor. The settee was so low and only fit for a skip and the furniture was dirty. The chair I sat on was rock hard. It really needs a complete refresh, new comfortable furniture and better lighting. This is not rude feedback but constructive feedback to give a better customer experience

Great coffee and Friendly staff 👍

Excellent Panini, well served apart from Tortilla chips, would prefer plain crisps than these. Very, very busy so a wait for drink and then food. Staff were very polite and helpful. Food was tasty as was the coffee. Very noisy in there at busy lunch time, but food was very good.

Nice coffee but just too noisy for me. I prefer to talk to my friends than shout above the staff, the music and the awful banging of the coffee grinder. Definitely not a relaxing experience , sorry.

Love coming here with my disabled husband for a coffee and a break. Everyone is very friendly and helpful there is always a warm welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. Coffee and food are delicious too.

Lovely food and coffee and lovely staff but they are always playing Adele 'Hello' everytime I go in and it comes on more than once. Needs updated playlist

After a very tasty sandwich I almost don't need to eat for a week!

This was a lovely coffee shop, very nice coffee and panini with a large choice of lunch food They even let me take my little dog in with me Well worth a visit

Love this cafe, staff are amazing, so friendly and efficient. Food is delicious, value for money. Great atmoshere, highly recommend.

Lovely staff, didn't eat there.

Love this little gem of a coffee shop

I’ve heard good things so thought I would give the place a try. The food and coffee are nothing special compared to most coffee shops and cafes. The staff are just a bit rude as well to be honest.

Bacon sarnie, well presented and quick but bacon did not have a bacon taste, not sure why. The coffee was the best I have had for a while

Stopped off here during a motorcycle ride great coffee and bacon sandwich the lady behind the counter was so friendly and full of smiles which made for a wonderful experience and I would give more stars if I could. Clean tidy well kept again food was so good really good so pop in for a visit if you are passing by you won't be disappointed 👍☕🥪

Very nice people my wife left her handbag and everything was there the next. Day thank you very much

Lovely coffee and great service

Absolutely fantastic , great food, cakes, coffee.....

Have a nice range of vegan food and milks, served by a lovely lady. Loved their white chocolate vegan flapjack, since the chocolate was super creamy and ‘milky’- lacking that synthetic taste/ mouthfeel vegan chocolate gives. Would go back for the friendly service and lovely ambience again but the food is amazing aswell.

First time visit it was very nice just a bit to long waiting for coffee would go back again

Not the best but not the worst .Bit expensive for what it is

Nipped in for a coffee and some cake for the youngest daughter. Great friendly service and staff. Ordered drinks and cake and took a seat. Didn’t take long for drinks and cake to be brought to us. Daughter lives the cake which was orange chocolate tiffin cake. Good sized slice. The mocha was excellent and really enjoyed it. Reasonably priced and comfy sofas to sit on. Overall enjoyed the coffee, cake and great friendly quick service of the staff.

Food here is delicious, the staff are lovely and show genuine care for their customers. It's very much a local cafe, knowing most customers by name yet very welcoming to anyone new. Went above and beyond to serve customers as even went out to buy Worcester sauce to top someone's cheese on toast!

Met friends for brunch. Nice place, friendly staff and quite busy. We all had bacon panini/bap/toasties and a drink. Bacon was cremated, rock hard and not enjoyable, but we ate it as none of us had had any breakfast. The extra hot cappuccino I ordered was not hot enough, didn't even go halfway up the cup, and it was just filled up with foam. We meet at lots of different places usually once a month and this is the first time we have been here. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.......Disappointed

Appalling service, very slow. Bad attitude from staff. Came for two coffees and waited 20 minutes

Visited and thoroughly enjoyed their mint hot chocolate. Friendly staff and good service

Wasn't too impressed by the one toilet, the walls could do with a lick of paint and a good clean. Everything else is 5 star !

Lovely coffee, warm and friendly staff.

Beautiful looking staff and polite. Coffee wasn't bad.

Use this place on a regular basis with special needs young adults, always a warm welcome. Food is absolutely lush especially their cheese on toast, great coffee too.

Fabulous little coffee shop friendly team cosy atmosphere and food is great

Great place, friendly staff, great food.

Thought it about time I reviewed Coffee Culture again as last time I did it wasn’t up to scratch but I’m pleased to say it’s back to its best again, cakes delicious and as sweet as they’re supposed to be. Manager as helpful and friendly as always, would definitely recommend.

Great bacon and brie panini and an americano served by friendly staff. Will definitely visit again. UPDATE: I have visited again and had a huge plate of toast. Just as friendly staff and an obvious great relationship with regular customers. Thanks again.

Friendly staff, bit over priced for a little coffee shop. The cake and milkshake I ordered weren't the best, but might have just been my choices.

Very nice friendly service, lovely atmosphere. Very nice coffee, and beautiful lemon cake.

Love,ly little cafe with friendly staff and customers.

Used to come here quite a lot however visited just before Christmas and ordered a panini with salad. Salad hadn't been washed and there was soil still in this. This has put me off eating there as I don't want to get unwell, which is a shame as their panini's were lovely

Great coffee and food here served in a lovely setting, on a small parade of shops with free parking. Friendly staff and clean toilets, go on treat yourself

My friend and I and my dog George was passing through the forum on a walk, we decided on coffee and sat outside the shop, Linda the waitress brought our coffee out to us and said we were welcome inside with George, which was very welcoming on a cold afternoon, Linda also gave George a pupochino which he loves. Thank you for great service we will call again 🐶

Very nice coffee shop. An ideal place to meet up and relax in comfortable surroundings

Over priced & very weak coffees

Used to go here back when I was at sixth form (over 10 years ago) and it's only gotten better since then, friendly staff, lovely food (massive slices of bread!), and brilliant coffee. Can't recommend it enough!

Friendly and relaxing cafe, really enjoyed the scrambled eggs, bacon and toast.

Had toast and a coffee Nice thick brown toast and decent coffee although a bit pricey Waited 20 minutes for the toast even though the place wasn't full

Went here for lunch yesterday for my birthday as a party 4 and a little one. We had 2 of the grazing platters to share between my sisters and I and my partner had a toasted bacon sarnie. All really nice food and the coffee was yummy too. The platter included some salad, breadsticks, chutney, brie, cheese, grapes hummus and a few more other bits. The cakes looked appealing but we were full from the platters. It was busy when we went around lunchtime and the wait was too long either

Lovely little coffee shop... lovely people and amazing cakes

Good place for a lo cup of coffee

Coffee - excellent; toasted bacon sandwich - magnificent! Staff - smiling, friendly, delightful. Very, very nice place!

Yummy and all vegan. Very relaxing environment. Coffee is good too. Will definitely come here again.

Nice place. Was waiting a while to be served as the lady was busy chatting away to the person in front of us. We was going to leave, as she kept looking at us as if to say, will be serving you shortly!

My daughter, grandson and I visited this afternoon. When we put in our order the only member of staff, a young lady was perfectly nice and friendly. I ordered cheese on toast and specifically asked for it to be done enough to be brown and bubbling on top. When I received the dish it was barely melted so my daughter asked for it to be done more. Wow what a change in attitude. “Well I’ll have to start it all again” your member of staff snapped. She proceeded to march to the kitchen and for fifteen minutes, in between serving, stood staring at me challengingly. As a pensioner I felt very intimidated. When the cheese on toast came it was no better than the first dish - was it perhaps the same ? We will never know. I have been to the shop quite a few times over the years but if I return and see this particular member of staff again I won’t be staying. I would be embarrassed if I thought my children would treat a customer in this way.

Great selection of wraps, panninis and cakes. Helpful staff. What's not to like?

Haven't been in for a while obviously due to covid. Its been decorated new furniture. Tables well apart. Coffee as good as ever. Lovely staff n plenty of choice. Will definitely be back soon.

Very friendly with delicious food and coffee

Friendly staff and a lush oat milk flat white.

Great coffee in nice surroundings

lovely coffees, fabulous looking cakes, even better service and more copies of Vogue than you can shake a stick at ...

Pleasant.The choice of music was not to my taste and quite loud.Coffees good so was rocky.road

Excellent, well presented afternoon tea. Like most people we needed a doggy bag to take home the excess food. Highly recommended.

Nice coffee in a nice clean safe environment. Lovely.

Nice little coffee shop. Coffee is nice although sometimes it can be a little too hot and I have scalded my tongue. There’s quite a few staff and it depends who makes it. One of the girls makes a brilliant coffee so I’m glad when she is working. Premises are nicely decorated with a few outside tables. Friendly staff. Would recommend for a visit but just be careful to check the temperature of your drink! 😳

Amazing service and food..was the first time I have been there and surely going back...

Bacon and brie with Cranberry sauce. Didn't touch the sides both me and the Mr loved it. #suppotinglocalbusinesses

Very nice modern place. Friendly personnel. Only slight negative was service was a little slow.

My Coffee Culture's "Finger Platter" at Branston Hall Simpsons Spa made a Great Day into a Spectacular Day! High Quality Produce, Generous Portions, Imaginative Selections to tickle the taste buds! Delicious Camembert with a Fresh Strawberry - Yes! - Who Knew?!! Taste Perfection! Sturdy Takeaway Box had me munching once home! Thank you Coffee Culture - looking forward to next time! xVeronica Edenx

Comfy friendly atmosphere, very good service.

Nice coffee, nice layout keeping space between tables.

Nicely decorated but the coffee is too hot. You have to let it cool down for ages before you drink it. Cheese on toast is nice but the salad dressing was awful. Service was friendly.

I gave 5 stars because of hospitality and quality very friendly and welcoming .treated everyone fairly as an individual

we have been coming here for years, coffee is always hot, cakes are amazing! loyalty scheme offered, staff are warm and welcoming! take away also offered but not a patch on sitting inside

Newly refurbished Coffee Culture retains it's great atmosphere, good menu and always friendly staff

Food is great. Toasties etc are brilliant. Coffee average, excellent for North Hykeham. Lovely to sit outside. Great service.

Polite staff. Clean and tidy. Oh and beautiful food and coffee.

Cosy little place in an area where a typical coffee shop atmosphere is nowhere else to be found. Staff is always friendly and helpful. A place that contrary to many other coffee shops or breakfast restaurant invites you to spend more than 5 minutes with enjoying your coffee and chatting with friends.

I go every week to meet friends. although I don’t drink coffee they do a great cup of tea and my friends who drink coffee believe it to be the best place for coffee.

Good drinks, food and service. Catered for gluten free. Good cafe, we will be back!

Used to be a great coffee shop. Could maybe do with a little more variety / choice. Nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Toilets are horrible and long, long overdue sorting out. Going downhill fast, had hair in sandwich and dirty cups on last 2 visits. Been here a lot over the years. Not sure if I'll go back again now.

Nice place for a quick coffee... lovely cake too
