Cream in West Lindsey

Lovely little cafe, with great staff. They do the best matcha!

Toasted teacake was cold , tea was lovely

Met at Marshall’s yard with my parents. Came to cream, and ordered for 7 people. We ordered a few bacon sandwiches amongst other items from the menu. We are quite fussy and like our bacon well done. These didn’t disappoint, possibly the BEST bacon sandwich I’ve ever eaten! Other food was lovely too! The team were lovely, really helpful, friendly and happy! It was really busy and they didn’t stop. Nothing was too much trouble. Well done team Cream. Best bacon sandwich around! 👍🏽

Had coffee and carrot cake here. Both very nice. Good coffee. Easily accessible. Plenty parking.

Fantastic, my husband loved his Roasted Gammon sandwich and I had the Seafood salad, absolutely beautiful.. I prefer uncooked tomato with salad but otherwise 10/10

Tea, sandwich and cake. Awesome

Disappointed with the flat white, was not strong and milk was too watery. Toasted ciabatta with onion, sweet potato and melted cheese, was too thick and filling didn’t have much taste. Lovely place very nice ambiance. Would have ordered eggs Royale but was 10 minutes too late at 11.40am.

Time 2pm & fairly busy so we had quite a wait for two salads! The salads were tasty but lacking in much of the main ingredient. I ordered a chicken, bacon & avocado salad & all three of these ingredients were a bit sparse. I would have liked a few more than the three small slices of chicken I did get. Lots of lettuce leaves & red cabbage but lacking everywhere else, for an expensive £10.95!

Probably the worst breakfast in the world 🌍 Coffee bitter! Felt as if we were sat in a greenhouse. Boiling 🥵 hot, aircon not on

We went for lunch today. The food was a miserable coronation chicken sandwich. A tiny splodge of the chicken and some limp lettuce in dry, stale bread. No butter on the bread! The accompanying salad had no dressing and the tiny pot of coleslaw that was an extra £1:25 was shop bought and not nice. The sausage sandwich was also on dry, stale bread…inedible. No offer of sauces when the food was delivered to the table. Staff were not engaging and seemed reluctant to be there. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Cream is my "go-to" cafe for coffee or light lunch. Love the cakes - definitely the best in town so far. Only 1 toilet, so you often have to wait.

Booked afternoon tea for my mum birthday and have to say it was amazing x

Full English and continental breakfasts both fab. Love the Earl grey tea!

I visited today with a friend. We wanted a drink before shopping to return later for a light lunch. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant and liked the variety offered for a light lunch. The sharing platter was excellent value offering good quality food at a very reasonable price. I can thoroughly recommend this place.

Food and service great as always. Some great Summer meal options. I love this place so warm and friendly

A great place to drop in for a drink or snack. The staff are really friendly and helpful. I had the homemade parsnip soup and roll and it was DELICIOUS!

Lovely coffee shop I'm Marshalls yard Gainsborough. 😋

I was actually disappointed with the strawberry milkshake I got, it tasted like that cheap nesquik milkshake. The cold coffee wasn't even that good either. I'm for all supporting smaller businesses but it's disappointing when it's not nice.

Dissapointed today as was not allowed to have a small breakfast and so took my business somewhere else. Once again tried here it's so dissapointing, no taste to my sandwich I had and my friend couldn't even eat her over toasted bagel. They seem to put no effort into the taste quality of their food. Won't go again, overpriced aswell.

In Marshallls Yard. Very very good cake and coffee. Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking which is reasonably priced. New parking machines require car registration. Ev charging outside. Has 1 toilet which is always clean. Very clean and tidy. Light and airy. Wonderful staff serving lovely cakes and coffees. Does cake away boxes.

Popped in for a drink only. We had a milkshake and a smoothie, which for £9 felt overpriced, especially as the milkshake had very little flavour (and the little bit of flavour it did have it tasted like strawberry krusha rather than a decent milkshake) and I'm convinced the smoothie was made with a syrup rather than fresh ingredients. Wouldn't rush back.

I visited here with a friend and enjoyed a fruit scone and a cup of tea. The food was lovely and fresh and the atmosphere was great. The service was friendly and the staff were helpful.

It’s been a while since we last visited here and it has become a shadow of its former self. Saturday morning and about 1/3 full. I ordered the eggs benedict and was thoroughly disappointed - let’s compare the menu description with the offering. Two poached eggs homemade hollandaise sauce on a toasted muffin with …. Home cooked ham. Poached eggs on Eggs Benedict are supposed to ooze egg (these were solid) - homemade hollandaise (that blob on side of muffin is hollandaise and that was entirety on plate) - toasted muffin (does that muffin look like it’s seen a toaster?) home cooked ham (actually that wasn’t bad). My wife’s full English had overdone eggs too. Only positive is the coffee is good. You might realise we won’t be back.

Mother's Day treat could not be better had to take some home.

This is a good place service could not be any better, did not have to wait for our food to come to the table, everyone had a smile, the service could not be any better would go again any time,

Stopped for coffee and went back for lunch had jacket potato and the seafood salad, lovely food, was well presented, and a good portion size nice inside, seating, and dog friendly. Outside seating area. Lovely friendly and helpful staff even had dog 🐕 treats. Definitely one to visit again.

Lovely cafe good sausage sandwich

Just need a quick bite 11.30 so didn't want a lot ordered tea and a coffee but coffee was cold had to get it reheated two fried eggs on toast and two poached eggs on toast white toast came out brown toast and poached eggs very hard. For some reason there was pepper on the top of my fried eggs not the best

Been a customer at Cream for quite a few years now but never done a review. Whether it’s just for coffee, breakfast, lunch or to buy their scones to take away - food always fresh, tasty and plentiful Staff always welcoming and helpful It’s a must visit when in Gainsborough you won’t be disappointed

Food fresh, coffee nice. Staff not always friendly

Nice coffee shop, did not have any food,just coffee.

Lovely coffee and scone in nice setting but unfortunately spoiled by loud music. Couldn't hold a conversation with my friend

We went here two days ago and I’ve still not stopped talking about the jacket potato with creamy mushrooms. I can’t recommend it enough. The food was fantastic! I’m so glad we found this cosy spot. There was a great selection of food to suit everyone . It was very popular so I’d recommend reserving a table.

Popped in for lunch never again , Ordered the quiche , it was an average sized slice, 2 slices of tomato and a bit of lettuce , The quiche wasn’t even nice , To charge 9.50 for a slice of quiche is disgusting

Excellent service, great mostly home made food, jam n cream scone as good as In Cornwall 👍

Excellent choice of food at reasonable prices

First time here...Will unfortunately never visit again. The elder lady is very rude!! And I felt sorry for the girls working there. It makes for a horrible atmosphere. The cake was also very very dry. I've wanted to visit for a while but it was a big let down.

great food, the cheese scones, cakes, soups all delicious.

Booked cream tea. Great value excellent service. Good mix of savoury and sweet choice, even boxed up what we could not eat.

Apart from being left to stand outside in the rain for 10 minutes the breakfast was very nice with good quality produce, service was ery good with pleasant staff

Meeting with friends for coffee great place friendly staff and good coffee can recommend the fruit scones always fresh

Food was very good and the staff treated us very nicely....what more could you ask for

dog friendly cafe with wonderful bacon sandwich and they got the dog a sausage. great coffee and we took back 2 scones which were lovely

Delicious breakfast and friendly staff

Pleasant cafe. Not a greasy spoon. Fancy coffee, cake and nibbles.

Nice and friendly staff, good coffee. But the food is not great at all. I had a chicken, bacon and egg salad. Very dry, no dressing, just a splash of balsamic vinegar. Chicken was dry and tasteless. Bacon fine, one whole egg seriously overcooked. A lot of green leaves, but not much food for £9. In fact, the worst salad I have ever had.

The food is horrible. Nice place for coffee though. I had a chicken, bacon and egg salad and it was the worst salad I have ever had in my life. Tasteless, dry and a very small portion. Seriously, go elsewhere.

The staff are great and the food is very nice but every time I have been in there the customers are not very nice some of them are very rude I don't think that I will be going back again

Very disappointing experience in having a breakfast. Food pre cooked and reheated, sausage hard, bacon dry, fried eggs ok ish, beans and mushrooms only thing that were hot. Waitress brought food to table, dumped it down without comment, not explaining where condiments could be found. Think the menu needs reducing to cook less and make it fresh cooked, or just do coffee and cakes.

Set off from Retford to meet my sister to have coffee and cake and was not surprised to hear she had walked out because of rudeness of the staff. Many times we have been in there and have not been happy with the lady that serves on the counter. What a shame lovely cafe but won’t go again.😤

I was most dissapointed yesterday afternoon we usually have our lunch in there but decided to meet my sister for cake and coffee mid afternoon instead..I had taken my disabled friend along with me so 3 of us would be using a table...we decided to sit near the window, as the seats were comfiest for my friend who has hip problems..the cafe was near enough empty and plenty of tables available. The table near the window had reserved on it, like it usually does but as 3 of us would be sitting there I decided it would be ok. We proceeded to sit as my friend carnt stand for long, but before I knew it I was being told the table was reserved, I didn't have time to tell her there would be 3 of us using the table, as she turned and headed back towards the kitchen..I called to say there would be 3 of us as we were meeting my sister shortly...the staff member proceeded to ask me if we were eating, i dnt see why i should have had to explain what we intended to do, in order to sit at a table..i could understand if the cafe had been busy but it was nearly empty...The table isn't reserved for anyone in particular,but they like to keep it free for 3 or more people..as there was 3 of us going to sit there i dnt see the problem. As I sat down I heard the 2 member of staff talking about me and the young lady proceeded to say I'd shouted at her..I was most upset as I hadn't even been speaking to her, and said I hadn't shouted at her, to which she snapped back... I had. ...Needless to say we left and I won't be going back again, nor will the rest of my family who usually dine in there..the staff were so rude and should be grateful of loyal customers...

We have eaten here several times over the years and always been happy with the service and the food, however, after today we will never step foot in here again! My husband was at the till putting our food order in and I decided to change where we were sat. I went over to the till and said to girl behind the counter that I had changed tables to which she replied “ you cannot sit there because I haven’t cleaned the table” I replied it was ok as I would wait until she cleared it. Her attitude instantly changed towards me and she said she would not be clearing the table as she was working by herself today ( she had just cleaned a booth table near the window for a couple that had come in minutes earlier) I said we were in no rush but she refused to clean the table and asked me why I wanted to sit at a dirty table? I politely said to her it was our choice where we want to sit and she said no it’s not I can’t let you sit there. I said to her in that case we won’t be eating in here to which she replied “ goodbye then”! I said to her that her manners were disgusting and her customer service even worse! She put her hand on chest and said to me in a dramatic voice “ your so dirty why do you want to sit at a dirty table” I said to her we didn’t want to sit at a dirty table we were happy to wait until she cleaned it as it was her job to do so. She kept smirking and saying your so dirty! …. Never again will we return! Staff member in photo below

This cafe was once a really nice place to go with nice food , went there a couple of months ago,the food had gone downhill , went there again today , to give it another try , wish I hadn't, the girl behind the counter was extremely rude while I was placing my order , so decided not to go through with my order, absolutely no idea how to deal with paying customers , took me a while to find a clean table which all looked grubby and sticky , such a shame , need to train your staff or you may need to get Gordon Ramsay in before you go bankrupt.

Brilliant service all around, service from a lovely girl called hannah so happy ,chatty ,attentive all needs met with a lovely smile and so courteous, food lovely, staff so happy like a little family that I felt we was included in , will go there as often as I can ,they would seem to do anything to they could for the customer 😀 lovely experience

Sandwiches and coffee. Excellent. It was a snack but we had to cancel tea because it was so big. Thanx

We went for lunch, it wasn't very busy but you could see people about. I had a hot chicken sandwich and it was nice, abit dry but it comes with salad and coleslaw, overall it was nice, I could see some lovely homemade cakes on display just quite pricey for the portions served. Thank you

A great breakfast with great ingredients and quality service

Nice food, good coffee. Needs to have shelters outside, proper ones like they do on the continent.

Good cup of coffee and a teacake, didn't see a single member of staff smile or meet, greet or serve customers in a friendly manner!!

I regularly attend Cream, however the food on thus occasion was not up to the usual high

Smoothie was a glorified fruit juice and not worth the money. Over priced for area, but willing to give it a 2nd go

Lovely quality breakfast here. All nicely cooked and presented. Handy for shops as it’s in Marshals yard. Would definitely recommend

Nice cafe in Marshalls yard. A bit crammed when busy as not much space for people with buggies/wheelchairs. Good variety in menu and sandwich was well filled.

Popped in for a piece of cake and a hot chocolate, was not disappointed. In the words of Arnie, I will be back!

Love this place they know how I have my coffee and never disappoint and their Lemon & Blueberry cake is delicious. Also the staff are always polite and friendly. Great Café try it you won't be disappointed.

Lacks character or atmosphere, it's like sitting in a goldfish bowl. Two young lady staff were more interested in giggling and talking together. But the coffee was fine.

Great staff and a lovely atmosphere. Best scones I have ever tasted and the coffee is delicious. Definitely recommend this little gem 😃👍

2 oat milk coffees and 2 cheese scones, absolutely gorgeous! The scones were clearly home made, lacked on the cheese front, I prefer mine really cheesy but that's a personal preference, big thumbs up, will visit again :)

Enjoyed our food will go back 😋

Lovely clean and tidy cafe, serving great food.

Absolutely beautiful tasty food I would definitely recommend cream it's friendly and clean

Appalling service and tasteless food. Will not go again

This was my second visit which was as dismal as the first. I shan't bother again. Tasteless and watery prawns in a dishwater sauce. Dry bread with no butter on or equivalent. A dried lemon garnish with masses of leaf to pad out an ineffectual salad. A very weak cappuccino which arrived with a waitress liberally sprinkling the table with chocolate. I would have been better of with a takeaway from Greg's. Plus their staff are much more efficient !@!

Had espresso, double shot but tasted very thin and weak Server was abrupt, didnt know table numbers in this smallish cafe First time visit, Not likely to return

A lovely place to eat and have a drink while chatting with friends and family.

Warm welcome, wonderful staff, fantastic food, and at good prices.

Disappointing, expensive salad for lunch, £9 for lots of lettuce, with some bacon, chicken and an egg. No dressing on the lettuce, just balsamic glaze over the top. A tomato or some cucumber would be nice. The cafe wasn’t very busy, but we sat with dirty pots until we ordered another drink. Went a month ago and had the very expensive rarebit, (cheese on toast). I think I’ll try somewhere else next time I visit Gainsborough.

Full English was £10.50, with a cappuccino and 2 extra poached eggs it came to 19 quid! 19 Quid for a mediocre breakfast! I think she may of chargede wrong for the extra eggs, and I should of questioned, but like a rabbit caught by a weasel's dance I was a little bamboozled. Bacon seemed boiled or not very well done, only 1 sausage, wholemeal toast were extra small slices, mushrooms were a bit soggy! It filled a hole, but now I know not to bother going there again!

Excellent Cappuccino made by someone who understood what they were doing. Great selection of cakes. Staff v friendly and considerate.

Long wait after ordering. Nothing special

love this little place.So comfortable and the best coffee and walnut cake ever! Staff are lovely

Lovely place, great iced latte and cater for lactose intolerant.

Myself and my wife have been here several times, the staff are always friendly and the menu is just right, the meals you get are a good sized portion, we've never had a meal here that we've been unsatisfied with, I also like redbush tea, this is one of the few cafés I know that sell it so that's a bonus for me, everywhere in the café is clean, especially in these times with Covid, I'd definitely recommend Cream to anyone. We again here yesterday, we sat outside under a parasol as it was a hot day, not realising that they had air conditioning on indoors which was nice and cool, we ordered our food and informed that there was a 20 minute wait, we were fine with this as we wasn't in a hurry, after 35 minutes I asked how long the meals would be, I was thinking they were short staffed as everywhere seems to have this problem, when our meals arrived they couldn't apologise enough and said there's a little extra on there for you, again I just can't fault the food it was very nice, even though we waited a longer I think we would still go back.

Staff excellent ham sandwitchvery tasty will be back.

Lovely place good drinks good food

Nice freshly made meals, outside area to sit as well as inside. I wouldn't day the staff were over friendly though!

What a fantastic place in Gainsborough such lovely staff and the food is amazing, has a great menu with local ingredients and home cooked which makes it the best place to go …👍🏼

Went this morning with family. Eggs Benedict served with ham that was going off on the edge. I had full English, one of the fried egg had a hair on it 🤮. Sausage poor quality and over-cooked so was hard. Not value for money, will definitely not return for breakfast. Have had lovely lunch meals so very disappointed. Staff were good though.

Nice coffee house. Didn't have food. Friendly staff. Immaculate toilets.

Pleasant atmosphere and staff were polite

Polite and friendly staff with lovely coffee and cakes. Highly recommended.

Nice coffee and good fresh hand made food😁

Nice as always quick stop off for a coffee and sit outside in the dun

Excellent breakfast good atmosphere and great value for money. Staff are great

Lovely food friendly staff would recommend to anyone well worth a visit

Lovely staff, accommodating chef for vegan request, lovely and bright, recommended.

Had to wait over half an hour for a coffee, they forgot us plus a bit expensive. Won't be going again!

Everytime I go here the food is fresh and the staff are very professional.

We had a lovely oatmeal latte and quiche very enjoyable and staff are lovely too

Very friendly staff run this busy good local cafe. Met a friend for latte and morning snack. We had toasted teacakes all was delicious beautiful creamy coffee. Will return for lunch soon would recommend
