Little Lincoln Cafe Bar in Lincoln

Well another Friday and another trip to our favourite place. Staff were as welcoming as ever. Such an amazing place for little people ❤️. The cakes are to die for too. Thank you.

My lovely friend ordered lunch on-line from here today and brought me a scone. It was so delicious! Very generous size, beautiful crumbly top, soft inside with a sweet buttery taste and massive pieces of fruit inside. It was just delicious!

Called in this place for the first time one Saturday afternoon having not known it was there before. We ordered a couple of home made soups and sandwiches and were delighted with what we got. The staff were so friendly and the food was not expensive so will definitely be back.

Came here for Sunday breakfast, staff were very friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. Food was served promptly, and the portions were a very good size. Very nice little cafe, affordable prices, and would happily visit again!

Our regular Saturday visit to our favourite Café in Lincoln City, there’s always a pleasant welcome from every member of staff. I guess we do tend to order our favourite snacks and on occasions we try the speciality of the day depends on our mood and appetite, today we chose the chicken and sweet corn noodle soup accompanied with the usual slices of bread, butter and croutons. I enjoy a pot of tea as always and manage to enjoy two cups to quench my thirst, good value. My wife in fact was the instigator for us both to choose the same soup she naturally enjoys brown bread compared to my white and her drink of choice being black coffee. The service is so friendly and the seating is ideal away from the hustle and bustle of the high street. We would recommend this establishment for the friendly service all at reasonable costs as well as the pleasant atmosphere just of the main High street down Guild Hall street.

I attended this establishment with my friends. When we entered, we took a seat and were immediately tended to by an incredibly friendly member of staff that ensured customer satisfaction for all of us. The food is well priced and high quality, and we were all thrilled by the service. 10/10; a lovely cafe.

Decided to try this little quaint cafe and I was left a little disappointed. While the service was great, with very polite and attentive staff, the food I ordered wasn’t amazing. My friend had a sandwich which seemed nice and he enjoyed that, our drinks were also quite nice, but the bacon bap I had...I had one bite and even that was too much of it. The bacon may as well have been jerky. It was as if it has been cooked earlier and microwaved...but microwaved for far too long and made it tough. Didn’t enjoy my food in the slightest.

I called in for the first time today, looking for a convenient place for lunch while visiting nearby council offices. The service was quck and friendly, and the choice of sandwiches a little different from the mainstream (I went for a hallumi, avocado and chili). It's a no frills cafe, but clean, bright and with a pleasant atmisphere. Just what I was looking for.

Tasty bowl of soup served in an efficient and friendly manner as we sat and watched the world go by Thoroughly recommend

I went to the cafe in the morning around 10:30 for a table of 8. There are only one lady working behind the counter with her arm in a sling. We did wait for a bit for our drinks and food but it's a reasonable waiting time despite the understaff front of house. She was the one who serve us all the food, we do have to help her and put the plate on the table but we wasn't bothered by it. She had someone to help her out later on the day. The important part is that we all had. Very good breakfast. We had the full/half traditional breakfast, toast with jam, teas and juice. The decoration is really good and relaxing too. They were really nice and let us move the chairs to fit 8 people at a 6 people table.

I came in this morning with my partner to have a breakfast and was shocked to see a women working on her own with her arm in a sling and struggling to do the simplest of tasks. We was the only ones in at this point and we was waiting for some time. Our toast got bought out to us way before our breakfasts was ready. My toast was inedible to say the least, she bought our drinks over which spilt on the table and decided to mop it up with my partners tissue and then throw it back on our table. The sausages tasted very cheap and the bacon was like carboard. I also witnessed the lady getting the sausages (without gloves) and putting them on the baking tray&then without washing her hands which I was horrified to see, she then contiued making drinks and touching other food which is a massive risk of cross contamination. We was very shocked as we visited a couple of times earlier on in the week and it was quiet pleasant, the bacon and egg baps were really good and the lady (different to the one we had today) was very friendly and looked like she had the know how of what she was doing!

Ordered a delivery for lunch. Sadly the order was extremely poor for a very simple order. Tuna sandwich on granary and halloumi fries. Expected a lot more for a £4.50 tuna sandwich - the sandwich was mainly mayonnaise and bread wasn’t the best. Halloumi fries were greasy with thick clogged flour or batter - a sweet chilli sauce had been added in a pot with cling film on it, this had exploded all over the bag.

We visited here for lunch. On ordering we we’re told that they had no baguettes, no Diet Coke, no lemonade so we gave up and left!

Lunch was excellent and the staff were very obliging and friendly. No frills food that tastes fresh and is good quality and value.

A clean and tidy little cafe with a lovely collection of photographs of local scenes. We popped in shortly before closing time for a full flavoured Americano. Had a brief chat with the staff on duty about the vegan options, which include the usual breakfast and flatbread pizza.

After an overnight stay in Lincoln we were looking for somewhere for breakfast . We found this little cafe. Good breakfast. Well cooked. Good service. Good value.

Wanting to escape the Black Friday/ Christmas madness we were in search of a safe haven. Just off the Stone Bow we found it.

Called in for breakfast. Seemed clean & tidy & the staff were helpful. Coffee was fine, portions were good & the quality of the produce seemed okay. The place was quite empty & the prices were good. Sadly, the food was quite cold & served on cold plates. A little more attention to detail & the place would be fine.

Not the prettiest of cafes but the English with two Lincolnshire sausages was fab. Cooked fresh with lovely crusty bread for the toast...it tasted lovely. Not dripping with oil, all nice. Highly recommended

Disgusting. Asked for lasagna and received mince and spaghetti without any phone call to ask me if a substitute would be acceptable. Jacket potato and chilli watery poorly cooked and burnt disgusting. Cheese toastie floppy disgusting.

Myself, daughter and grandson lunch here once a fortnight and all I can say is “YUM” always welcoming and the gluten free options are delicious.

A lovely little gem of a cafe in Lincoln town centre. Everything freshly made. Very good coffee. Delightful staff, nothing too much trouble. Very clean, light and airy. A delight to visit.

I came here with my partner for breakfast and it was lovely, the food was cooked very well and the prices were very reasonable,. Also the lady that served us was very polite and friendly.

Very friendly cafe. Enjoyed a tasty and very generous sandwich lunch. Just what we needed. Good quality and lots of choice. Very good value.

This was a nice little independently run cafe not far from the Hilton Doubletree Hotel. We called in twice during our visit to Lincoln, first for coffee and then in the morning for breakfast. The prices are very reasonable and the service is very pleasant.

friendly service food was freshley made with a wow factor would go again as it made me and my wife so welcome

Have walked past this place so many times and never gone in. Today we saw the sign outside advertising a sandwich with salad, plus cake and drink for £5. Also small breakfast and drink for £4 so thought we would give it a try. I had a cheese and onion sandwich which came with salad and coleslaw, followed by a large slice of Victoria Sponge with a Latte. My wife chose the small breakfast with a Latte. It was all delicious and such good value, all for £9. This must be the best value place in Lincoln. Charisma who served us was very friendly and welcomed us with a smile. Another reviewer mentioned flickering fluorescent tube lighting, and the place looking grubby. Charisma mentioned that a few weeks ago the lighting was changed, and on our visit the place looked nice, clean and airy, including the toilets.

We almost walked past this cafe so keep your eyes peeled.

This is a great spot for lunch and they have a really good value offer of sandwich /panini with a cake and drink for £5! The service wasn't the speediest, given how empty the place was, but I wasn't in too much of a hurry. The bbq pork panini was good (although the cheese could have been a little meltier!) and comes with a nice side salad and the brownie was delicious!

A most enjoyable and welcoming cafe situated at the corner on the end of Guildhall Street just off the high street, We both have and are enjoying the breakfast with toast and drinks all included at a very reasonable price. We always visit here when we go into the city and being welcomed by such friendly staff especially Charisma they do remember your preferences and are so accommodating . The breakfast here any time of the day too, all fourth coming with a cheerful smile so nice too, it’s well worth a visit in a most pleasant and peaceful atmosphere where we are able to relax and chat in a nice surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of Lincoln high street. We visit this establishment many times including on arrival in the city first thing and taking a break from shopping in the middle of it all and at the end of our visit all good when ever we are in need, they satisfy us. A big improvement from the original owners by offering breakfast all day long. thank you !

Called in for lunch 29 December. Ordered ham, egg & chips (not too bad) and a butternut squash soup with bread. Was given two huge slices of bread and had to ask for extra butter as was only given one tiny packet! Quite a few florescent tubes out and/or flickering. Would have been a nightmare for anyone suffering from epilepsy or migraines. The whole café had a grubby, unloved feel about it and the toilet was not very clean either. Not expensive but you get what you pay for here.

First time to this cafe but will not be the last I have read the last negative review and I don’t know what they was talking about the staff was very welcoming and professional and as for the breakfast well I eat out a lot and it was the best for many years what more can I say please keep it the same thank you

Well for a start lady behind counter cooking wearing open flip flops ...not hygienic wander what environmental health say about that

This is a very good cafe with a range of gluten free cakes and delicious cappuccino. Great service too.

Popped in to order some cake n coffee to go . Literally nobody to be seen ? It was a sunny day , within opening hours and was defiantly open !

Ate here as every other establishment has stopped cooking for the day, God I wished I had just starved. Possibly the worst place I have ever eaten. Not rally anything to say about this place, they must have a good bunch of regulars to be able to stay open, but as a traveller I have eaten in far better greasy spoons. I would give this one a wide berth next time I'm in town.

Lovely food and very friendly service. We all enjoyed it and I had the tastiest sandwich I have had for ages (castle club)

Popped in and had their Little Lincoln Lunch Club - panini, salad, homemade coleslaw, brownie (so delicious) and a latte whilst listening to laid back tunes....a little gem of a place with attentive staff (Will) with a personality. All for a fiver!!!

Staff are super helpful and friendly. The food and cakes are lovely and there's such an amazing of gluten free cakes 10/10. It's great value for money and in a good location. Always pleasant and clean, cannot fault this friendly and warm place at all!

We had lovely ham and egg sandwiches from here today the bread was excellent so fresh !,I had a scone with clotted cream and jam and my daughter a choc brownie which again was fresh and tasty and enjoyed ,we used the deliveroo service as my teenage daughter didnt fancy a trip to town so enjoyed it on this occasion in the comfort of our own home but will deffinately visiting the cafe very soon!!!!,great quality and price and arrived promptly in perfect condition Ist time using deliveroo too !.

I had been here many times under the old management and rather liked it.

I dropped in here today after a recommendation from a young friend and was very glad I did. I had a panini and a pot of tea. The panini was perfectly prepared with very good ingredients and attractively served with a side salad, some crisps and a small pot of coleslaw. The service was friendly and it was very clean and comfortable. Good wifi. Excellent value for money. Literally one minute walk from the Stonebow. It wasn't very busy and to be honest, it should be. I can see this being my go-to eatery when I'm in town shopping and want food or a drink.

My wife and myself were in Lincoln and always walk down that way. In need of a bit of a bite, and not being tempted by any of the nationals, decided to give The Little Lincoln a try. This was a wise choice. I had a Chicken and Bacon on Granary bread and my wife had a Cheese and Tomato Toastie. Both served with a little side salad and both were freshly made. We also had a cracking cup of Americana each. Great food, fantastically friendly staff and value for money at just over a tenner. If your in the city dont be shy look it up.

I was just going to have coffee, but was very tempted by the Fabulous homemade cakes. Very pleasant staff and very convenient location for Lincoln attractions

Called in yesterday for our second visit around lunchtime. Was only going in for a drink but decided to eat too. Had a jacked potato with chilli and I can say it's one of the best lunches I've had for a long time. Very friendly staff that made you feel very welcome. Very much worth a visit, it's somewhere I'll be going back to time and again.

What a lovely cafe Spotless cosy and very wecoming Very tasty cooked breakfast and coffee Friendly staff

I've visited this lovely little cafe 3 times now and every visit I've been impressed by the friendly staff and the gorgeous cakes and coffee on offer. One of our group was gluten free and there were plenty of choices for them too. I've not eaten lunch here, but the plates they were bringing out on my last visit looked amazing! It's well worth making a slight detour off the high street to find this lovely independent cafe.

Had some time to pass whilst waiting for a lift so nipped into this super little cafe so unplanned but a great surprise find.

Second visit to this delightful cafe in the City of Lincoln.

Lovely varied menu with a good selection of food and drinks. The brownies are really good, as is coffee and breakfast. Nice friendly staff.

Called in at lunchtime, was quite busy but the staff were really organised and friendly. Food was great, all freshly made and excellent value for money. Will definitely visit again

I've visited this place a couple of times now to watch their comedy nights. Small and welcoming, they squeeze in an audience about 20-30 to watch a lineup of local talent. You never know what you're going to get - some are hysterical, some still finding their feet. There's always been somebody that made it worth going though. Admission for these evenings includes a small portion of curry, and there is always a tasty selection of cakes you can purchase to top up if you're still hungry. Limited selection of bottled beers and wines is also available to purchase at these evenings.

Called in during our recent visit to Lincoln. Was made very welcome. Nice menu all cooked fresh. Good varied menu and great value.

As a newcomer to Lincoln, I have enjoyed trying a new restaurant or cafe when out and about. Based on the excellent rating I had seen on this site, I decided to walk home one morning by way of the Little Lincoln Cafe for a bite of lunch. The roasted vegetable soup was delicious and tasted homemade. The tuna melt toastie was pretty average but tasty enough. It came with crisps (very small handful of tortilla chips) and "homemade" coleslaw, which was dry and tasted like it was factory pre-made out of a bag. Coleslaw is a fave of mine, I know my slaws -- this did not taste homemade. The breakfast menu looked really good and seemed to be the best value. Maybe sometime I'll stop back in and try breakfast or a sweet. He staff was friendly, place was clean. There are some very nice photographs of Lincoln sites on the walls, all marked for sale. That's worth a look.

Could not recommend the Little Lincoln highly enough to anyone who, like me, has a bit of a sweet tooth but a gluten free diet...brownies are to die for and today's chocolate peanut butter cake was out of this world! Staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating...all round 10/10!

Friendly, nice coffee, top quality ingredients - can't fault it. Great location. A definite recommendation.

visited today Tuesday 24th January 2016 for lunch and home made burger and twice chips was on offer

I attended afternoon tea on Saturday with friends and it was lovely. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the food well prepared and plenty for 6 people. We will look to book another event in the future.

Jamie and his team provided us with a buffet in January for our Scooterist event at Newark Showground. This is the second year running that we have used his services, which to my mind goes without saying - if we hadn't been happy we wouldn't have gone back to him.

Nice light atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The soup is vegetarian and gluten free. Overall a very good experience.

Fantastic friendly service, clean welcoming environment, very baby/child friendly, nice coffee and food.

We have just Visited this great place on a groupon . Amazing value , and nothing too much trouble . Fresh scone from several choices and coffee instead of the tea , which was part of the offer.

A real find. I had the Ploughman's lunch, lovely cheeses salad and pickles - very nicely presented. My husband had the homemade burger, which he enjoyed. Finished off with homemade chocolate brownies, fabulous! Including two cokes and two flat whites the bill was £22...wonderful!

We have visited the cafe several times and have always been made to feel very welcome. The daily specials are excellent, menu is great value and the service is superb. We recently attended the comedy and curry night which was only £10 per ticket for food and entertainment and there are various themed events throughout the year. We highly recommend the full breakfast and the homemade lasagna. Thank you once again and we will be back soon!

Amazing homemade food and sweets! Menu has a good variety of dishes. Perfect for a yummy home-cooked meal or for a cheeky coffee & cake! Never disappointed. Excellent service always!

Lovely little cafe. Very chilled and relaxing. Great staff very pleasant. Love their sandwiches!!! #SweetChilliChicken 😀😀

Amazing food sit in or takeaway excellent value, the tuna and cheese Panini's are brill, service amazing

We came across this Cafe on the corner near Guildhall street, a most pleasant atmosphere coupled with good service, we both were in need of a light snack and drinks whilst in the city on our normal Saturday browsing around the shops. Our choice eggs Benedict two even, on buns and covered in Hollandaise sauce, my wife's choice was Poached eggs on toast two eggs again, also enjoyed Espresso Coffee blend as advised Stokes supplied the beans a most pleasant relaxing visit. We were too late for the breakfast menu must ensure we visit next time before 1130 am.

Attended a Comedy Curry night. What a revelation! Such a cosy venue with superb food and a great friendly atmosphere. It is rare to find excellent customer service these days, have to say Jamie and his staff excell in this department! Great night, will be back.

Jamie and staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. We like the new look and the food is excellent. Had a sandwich today (lovely) but will try an Afternoon Tea next time!! He has worked really hard to make a go of it, Butty Boy was a hard act to follow but Jamie has succeeded. Well done.

I call in for my coffee kick before work and it is excellent quality and value. The owner is welcoming and it is a very important part of my morning routine!

Been here 3 times whilst cycling in the area. Cycle friendly too Excellent freshley made food in good clean surroundings with top customer service. You won't find better in the city. Picture of my huge sandwich last time

First visited for the fantastic Curry and Comedy Night on Wednesday and so thought I'd bring the family in for lunch. Delicious food, friendly and quick service and the best brownies ever! This will definitely be my 'go to' cafe whenever I am in Lincoln. Highly recommend!

I've been coming here since it was Butty Boys and was so pleased to see it had been taken over by someone just as good. Never fails to impress. Lovely sandwich selection, and fresh cake and scones every day. Always a pleasure to visit!

I discovered this hidden gem a couple of weeks ago on my lunch break, and have since become a regular customer. The staff are always super welcoming and lovely, and the food is absolutely glorious!

Popped in on my way to an appointment, decided to have a bacon butty as it's quick. I have to say it was one of the nicest ever

We visited The Little Lincoln Cafe on Saturday. A fresh lick of paint and newly printed menus since the change of name, but still the same great service from the cheerful and welcoming staff, delicious food and amazing value for money. Will definitely be going back again, and again . . . . .

We visited The little lincoln cafe over the weekend whilst having a wander around Lincoln. The cakes were fantastic, and hospitality outstanding. The staff couldn't do enough for us, especially with our young family. The owner was front of house meeting and greeting adding to the welcoming atmosphere, and my wife was able to breastfeed in a safe and comfortable environment. We will be back, and we look forward to seeing many of the different events being held.
