Stage 2 Coffee House in South Kesteven

Atmospheric little cafe in middle of small retail sellers - arts and crafts etc. Food reasonable, service friendly but surprised later to read that food and hygiene rating is still only 2, with improvement required. I don’t see any changes from last time I visited.

'Stage 2 Coffee House' in Stamford's old corn exchange is a pleasant place for lunch or coffee and cake. The tables are surrounded by interesting vendor stalls selling antiques, records and handicrafts whilst colourful bunting hangs above your head. The iced latte I had was very good as was the Brie, Bacon and Onion Chutney Panini. Prices are very reasonable too.

Just needed a quick sandwich and drink for lunch. We think we'd been here before a few years ago when it was the other side of the arcade, but anyway, much nicer surroundings now with some interesting craft type shops all around. Both had an open summer sandwich and they were both very good.

Good selection of food and great coffee in a relaxed atmosphere, eat in a wonderful setting surrounded by a range of interesting shop units.

Visiting one of my sisters who helps runs the Nik Nak's charity shop, which is within the Corn Exchange shopping arcade. We opted to have lunch here. Service was quick and friendly and very reasonably priced. The food, which was 2 chunky fish fingers in a sandwich, with chips and a garnish, very tasty. Once finished we had a good wander around the shops/stalls there, that also has a varied selection of hand crafted goods. We enjoyed the meal so much, we back the next morning for a great full English breakfast.

Visiting Stamford with friends & popped in here for lunch. Lovely friendly cafe surrounded by little individual shops. Food was excellent & plenty of it at a reasonable price. Will definitely call in again next time visiting this beautiful town.

We had a full English breakfast and scones, was really yummy, coffee was good quality coffee beans ,friendly and helpful staff . Very fantastic mix of small independent traders offering big variety of items. Ps don't forget to try the ice cream My next visit I'll put some pictures

We enjoyed some home made ice-cream at this cafe and sat surrounded by interesting craft stalls and sellers. Everything from jigsaw puzzles to model ducks, vinyl records and a wool shop. Well worth a visit if you are in Stsmford

We called in here for a sandwich and a cup of tea, staff were friendly, meal was good. It was interesting to see the different little shops, signs etc, there was even what looked like a sewing club taking place

Visited yesterday just for a coffee but was impressed with the selection of food on the menu, staff were friendly and the prices very reasonable

Friendly service, warm atmosphere. Small cafe - about 8-10 tables surrounded by retail stalls attached to local theatre. In the town centre, just on Broad Street, which runs parallel to the main pedestrianised street. Great for a lunchtime meal or snack or just a coffee away from any of the normal franchises. Good food and good value, will certainly visit again if back in the area. Lots of vegetarian options available.

Visited the lovely little town of Stamford on a wet Friday with our dog. We struggled to find a cafe that was dog friendly until we spotted that the arcade is dog friendly and had a cafe. The seating is in the centre of the arcade, so having a dog with us wouldn't bother none dog owning patrons. The staff were friendly and had dog treats for our pooch. My wife's all-day breakfast was a tad overcooked but still tasty and my pannini was delicious and our drinks were piping hot (not always the case with cappuccino).

Wonderful atmosphere. Surrounded by independent shops for everyone. Fresh hot food. Brilliant friendly service. Always greeted with a smile.

A little scruffy, but freshly cooked food and friendly service make up for it. Good place to call for coffee, bacon sandwich, cake etc. Avoid the chains go here

This is the friendliest little place in town with a real buzz going on. Home made cakes and freshly prepared coffee and meals it's fantastic. Always clean and spotless. The staff are gems and happy to chat. Oh and did I mention the cakes are amazing and all home made.

This is a small independent café in the Corn Exchange. The food is well priced and tasty and the service is friendly.

Trabajando en el teatro durante toda la semana a menudo necesitan un poco de conseguir un camino del bullicio y ajetreo. Esta era la mía.Personal amable gran, independiente, bien de precio, este lugar era mi goto toda la semana. Los bocadillos fríos y calientes eran fabulosas, la tarta era casero, nunca tomó un pedazo para el tren, y para el tamaño del lugar el menú bastante extensa.Mi única queja es que me hubiera gustado que no cerraba tan temprano o habría pasado aún más tiempo y dinero.Además de la fantástica Corn Exchange

Excellent coffee and tea with good service in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, cakes and lunch also available if you are hungry, with plenty of small shops/cabinets to look in while there :-)

Mark is very friendly and attentive. You can sit down surrounded by little shop units and cabinets with a variety of things from kids clothes, antiques and nice candles to a sewing shop, belts, handbags and vinyl records.

Love this place, best coffee in Stamford! Great value for money, lunch comes with a side salad and portion of crisps. Friendly atmosphere and service. Definitely recommend, was too full from lunch but was able to take my cake home. Will be back!

My husband & I had lunch today in Stage2Coffee House. We had a laugh & bit of a chat with Mark, the owner, while we decided what to have from the 'spoilt for choice' menu board. All sorts of hot or cold snacks. My hubby decided on a bacon butty while I settled for Panini with Brie and hot chilly chutney. I was told, if it's listed, you can choose any combination of fillings for Panini or Sandwiches. This came with salad & crisps and one of the best latte I've had in a long time (there is an extensive range of coffee, tea & cold drinks) Unfortunately we were too full to try some of the home made cakes but it's a good excuse to come back again & we will definitely be back. The atmosphere in the Shopping Arcade is very friendly & unhurried. We took a leisurely stroll around buying couple of things and looking at the goods the Unit/Cabinet holders had for sale. Highly recommend a visit.

This is a really friendly cafe. Mark, the owner makes a great cappuccino, best in town and the tuna melt pannini absolutely melts in your mouth. A great service all round clean friendly and not to expensive

We popped into here to get out of the cold. I had a toasted sandwich - very good value for £3.95 as it came with a good side salad, with balsamic glaze, and posh crisps. My friend just had Lemon drizzle and remarked on how lemony it was! Coffee for both of us - did my milky one nice and hot - just as I had asked - but not a really strong coffee flavour. Excellent service and for the two of us for just over a tenner - very good value.

Great coffee even bought some beans to go. Service excellent. In fact must be best place for coffee in Stamford. Had the tuna melt - very nice
