Sainsbury's Café in Lincoln

Popped in for a quick lunch, nothing quick (or particularly decent) about it! Had to take back a toffee nut latte as it wasn't very nice, tasted burnt. They did make a new one that was much nicer though so maybe a fault with the machine first time round. Waited 45mins for our order of beer battered fish and chips (the fish was very overdone) and a fish finger ciabatta. No apology on how long it took for our food to be served, and the chips were just about warm when we eventually did receive our food. Won't be returning or recommending based on this experience.

45 minute wait for food despite the cafe only having 7 or 8 people in it.

Rubbish, short staffed, 45min wait for food, many menu items & hot drinks not available. Last time we came there was no food available. This is the final visit.

Had a lovely breakfast which was hot and tasted great. The staff were friendly and wasn’t waiting long.

Literally every time I go there, they’re out of something. Went there for the last time today.

Terrible service, got a pannini just slapped on a plate no side salad. Ordered 2 teas had to put my own teabag in asked for skimmed milk the person serving slapped a carton in front of me. I won't be coming back standards are terrible, you would get better service at a homeless shelter.

Excellent breakfast, nice friendly service

Long wait for food with a 2 year old , not good . No sanitizer on counter, appauling

Disgusting breakfast. Should be ashamed to put half cooked sausages, solid eggs, cold bacon on a plate. Honestly the most awful experience as couldn't even drink Raspberry and Pomegranate lemonade as had a big lump of frozen fruit stuck in it!

It's rare that we use the cafe and every time we do it's just shocking, the staff are really rude and so unfreindly and misserable, one lady in particular 3:30 today just got a huff and grunted at that there's no hot food now and walked off, didn't even bother speaking to us or trying to take an order for drinks so we left. Won't be giving them the time of day or our money in future, one time to many I'm afraid.

Love the supermarket and the cafe. Lovely atmosphere and much better food than the other supermarkets including Waitrose.

Poor service and small portions

Always clean and efficient staff food is nice .

Not as much of a selection as they use to have especially toasties and paninis and most times I've been there around 1 to 2pm very little left out to choose from. Not a bad place but don't use it as often as I use too

Love LL y cappacino and flat white

Get rid of the winter cold with a cup of hot coffee from a good outlet in a clean environment

A good place to enjoy nice and delicious coffee ,visit and enjoy yourself to the fullest

Best place Serving delicious foods/ drinks/ coffee Good service friendly staff

Cool,. and nice place, I. was there yesterday, and coffee served was. hot,. and nlce

Great service. Enough space to be comfortable and excellent food

Slow service, stingy portions and everytime I order something I have to go back and get it corrected. Last time I go to sainsburys cafe in Lincoln. There are so many better places to eat.

Came here the other week with my baby and toddler, ordered food for toddler and a baby cino for her while i enjoyed my coffee. And cake.. Nice

Lovely place for a coffee and lunch

Breakfast sandwiches 🥪 are on point. Friendly staff. Always quick service.

Always have a teacake and a latte love them

Always nice food, and wonderful staff.

The Vegetarian breakfast was cold and over cooked sausages.

Great breakfast and really good value

Very slow service even outside busy period. One person running till, orders and making coffee is not enough. 10 minutes to serve 3 people is too slow and not the fault of the lady doing ALL the work.... Just insufficient staff. Food OK.

Not a lot of choice and no coffee machine working, what they did have was 30 to 40 minutes wait and no kids lunch boxes

Cheap and cheerful. The summer kids eat free has been a blessing. Food portions are small but prices are not bad given the current financial climate.

Well presented breakfast, right amount well cooked

Very disappointed, nowhere near as good as it used to be a year ago. No intention of using it again.

Hello. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean. Tasty food. Thank you!!

Met a friend at the cafe and won't go again I can't understand how 1 tea bag in a mug can cost £1-45 wouldn't mind if it was a pot .I don't like huge mugs as too hard to handle when you have poor hands

Nice food and clean . Only concern is when sanitising the cafe tables it was spray and wipe but sure there needs to be a contact time for the sanitiser....just a thought

Good quality good staff can be a little slow cafe always seems under staffed but worth the wait

Basic cafe, clean and friendly staff.

Standard supermarket cafe.. pleasant

Waiting time could be improved with more staff

Slow queues, slow service, mediocre food

Usually very good. Can sometimes be very slow at bringing food out due to no leadership and understaffing. Have seen food sat on side waiting to go out for 5 mins before. We have had just warm food before. When it is OK it is a very good place.

Had the Fish and chips for the first time and it was delicious.

Can be a wait at busy times of up to 25 or 30 mins by which time you've drunk your coffee or it's gone cold. But usually service is pretty good and there's a very pleasant chap with a goatee beard who always says enjoy your meal Food is pretty standard but edible and reasonable priced.

Very clean food was delicious but quite a wait before you were served

Reasonably priced tasty products

Always enjoyed toasted teacakes with Americano and cream. Disappointed that they only provide milk not cream now.

The que was long.. the service was painfully slow...and the counter area was filthy..and the staff looked upon you as a inconvenience!! I wouldn't reccomend to anyone unless I disliked them!!!!

Got there and waited ten minutes then told breakfast had just finished

The service was quite slow but food was good

Lovely and clean friendly staff and lots of lovely food at reasonable prices

Never used Sainsbury's before in any way. Liked the cafe. Tidy place. Great affordable prices. Would visit again.

Poor quality and terrible presentation

Breakfasts are good,with a good selection of breakfast fare.The only thing a bit bad is the fact that there isnt much to choose from if you have to have a glutton free diet

Very rude assistant in the cafe this morning serving the coffee

Great products, friendly staff, good parking.

Very good loads of choice lovely fresh cakes excellent baguettes. Lovely meals

Nice restaurant..quite spacious..nice choices ( scrummy cakes) and pretty good service. Some window tables with view over lake/trees..lift up ..so disabled friendly and toilets next to cafe..

Freezing cold and filthy table and floor,the girl who I asked if she would mind sweeping under our table as looked like a whole cake had been dropped, didnt acknowledge me at all , her face was blank.

Lovely tea cake. Could do with more servers

Good service friendly,and good food.

Odd that their food is good, but the café is meh. Boring cake selection, poor sandwiches, awful coffee and under-staffed.

Good place friendly staff reasonably priced

Very nice just had a cuppa and cake

I always enjoy my meals in Sainsbury restaurant,the staff keep the tables clean,and are quick to remove used plates etc,my favourite meal is Cottage pie,it's piping hot,I love it,makes my day.

Nice good, clean, lots of choice

Access by escalator or lift if have wheelchair or pram. Serve hot meals although don't always have what advertised but always other hot or cold choices. Seating well spaced out.

Very good only had a pot of tea but even that was good , really nice friendly staff .

The service is slow.I had Yorkshire ham and chips , flapjack and a green tea
