Wild Heart Cafe in South Kesteven

This spot is a Hidden Gem in the middle of the Angel Precinct. I came in for Lunch with a group of friends this week and I had the Falafel special which was delicious! My friends had a Bacon, Brie and Cranberry panini and a Jacket Potato cheese and beans. All food homemade, flavourful and served beautifully. The ladies working were super polite and welcoming. We all left very happy and will definitely be back! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! Thank you Wild Heart Café :)

Quite awful. This is not quite a high-end cafe pretending to be a bistro, selling poor quality food and higher than necessary prices. The food was not particularly well cooked and put on a plate rather than presented. Compared to other options around the town this (in my opinion) is perhaps best avoided - despite what other reviews say.

Incredible little cafe, with an amazing team. They always have smiles on their face from my experience and the food it’s really fab. Definitely would recommend this place, and have done to family and friends.

Whilst having a ramble around Bourne we happened across this coffee shop. It looked very appealing from the outside so we thought we'd pop in for coffee and a quick bite. Firstly, it was really cold. Too cold to take your coat off. We ordered coffees but just couldn't bring ourselves to pay £5.50 for a croissant. That's just ridiculous. No wonder the couple at the next table were sharing one!! Toast was the same price. The coffee was fine and the service was pleasant but we won't be returning.

What a gem! We went there for lunch, nothing was too much, food was fresh and was so tasty! Cakes are homemade and are absolutely delicious! We also took home cheese scones, again home made and were delicious! Coffee was amazing too! The lady who served us was lovely and so accommodating! Always a smile on her face :) I can’t rate this place enough! Defo visit if you are in Bourne and fancy tasty food and coffee! We will definitely be back! Oh a side note cafe was clean and had a great atmosphere! Loved everything about it! Well done wild heart cafe!

I have been twice recently. The food is excellent and the staff are helpful, polite and friendly. Well worth a visit.

As a new resident of Bourne, I am so glad to have found this place. Been in half a dozen times. Always excellent freshly made food. The staff clearly enjoy music as their music playlist is always brilliant too.

Found this cafe when trying to get out of the rain, it's in a lovely location tucked down a side walkway. The service was really quick and the food was lovely. I had the chicken pie which was a big portion with succulent chicken. The staff were all friendly and attentive, will definitely return when back in the area.

You can always get a lovely meal here. I had spinach and mushroom quiche and it was sooo tasty! Staff are friendly and you are always made welcome. A must visit even if you just want a coffee!

My partner and I were passing through Bourne today and stopped to look for somewhere to eat. We came across the Wild Heart cafe and decided to go in. We were not disappointed. It is a lovely little cafe and everything on the menu is homemade. I had a toasted croissant stuff full of ham and melted cheese. My other half had a ham and cheese baguette. Both were delicious. This was followed by hot drinks and a tasty little bun filled with apple purée. We cannot fault this cafe and will definitely be going back….. soon!

Lunch with friends was lovely but we arrived just after breakfast had ended….. shame they don’t do an all day breakfast option

The quality of the food is always good, specials are worth checking out and the welcome very friendly. We have never been disappointed

We had a most amazing hen afternoon tea for my sister. Sally ,Simon and their daughter Thalia really looked after us. Simon cooks all his food daily and everything he baked for us was awesome. Thank you so much for making us fee so welcome. I would definitely recommend Wild heart for a perfect lunch or celebration

We had a lovely full house breakfast at The Wild Heart Cafe this morning. Service was fast & friendly. We will be visiting again 😋😋

Missed breakfast today so stopped in at The Wild Heart Cafe for lunch. Two of my favourites, beetroot and blue cheese, brought together in a quiche with green salad and coleslaw. Excellent combination. Well done Chef.

Haven’t been in a while due to Covid, but found that, if anything, the food is even better than we remembered! The salmon quiche was superb with a wonderful flaky crust, while hubby’s pulled BBQ pork sandwich was wolfed down before I could grab a taste - he said it was delicious. Both came with lovely crispy skinny fries, salad and slaw. Had to have dessert too because they looked amazing, and they didn’t disappoint! Nice coffee too. Not to mention that the owner is friendly and a great hostess. Has got to be the best place for lunch and dessert in Bourne!

Have been here a number of times now and the service, together with the food, is exceptional. Simon is an amazing chef who can make anything from the best omelette to any kind of cake you care to name. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ❤️.

Mum and I visiting Bourne for the afternoon and called in for lunch. We were extremely impressed! Covid protocols clear and well followed. Coffee and tea delivered quickly with (my favourite biscoff biscuits) followed by the most delicious quiche I think I've ever had. Rich, buttery and full of tasty filling. Service was impeccable too. Can't wait to visit again to try one of the awesome looking sausage rolls! :)

Lovely place to eat every thing is cooked fresh with plenty of choice . Clean and tidy place staff are really nice too . Would highly recommend

Popped in for a quick stop while in Bourne and found this on tripadvisor. Warm welcome, old school cafe interior with some nice wall decor. Lovely smooth warming coffee was quickly served with a luscious brownie which I could have eaten multiple times over. Would return when back in town.

It’s always a treat to have lunch at this place. Staff are friendly and always service with a smile. Today I went for the daily special “Greek butter bean stew” served with daily fresh baked garlic bread. Despite I’m not a vegan type I really enjoyed this dish.

A friendly, family run business. A wide choice on Menu and Specials Board. Fast, efficient Service with a smile. Try it for yourselves, you wo'nt be disappointed.

Went in for a quick catch up with friends I've not seen for ages. Ended up there over an hour. Had tea & scones. Scones were lovely. Ended up taking some home. Very friendly nothing was too much bother

A hidden gem tucked away in Bourne. Staff wonderfully welcome & food superb. Quiche best I’ve ever tasted & comes with salad (dressed) & coleslaw. They also have a licence so a glass of wine goes nicely with lunch. The food is homemade & they also have a specials board.Busy at lunchtime but in a good way.Spotless toilets.They also open a few evenings but I haven’t tried that. Lovely place.

We both had full english with a pot of tea, was really tasty. Service very good and friendly, will be back again.

I've been to the cafe during the day and found it excellent. This review is for the evening meal which surpassed my expectations. It's still the same friendly welcome and relaxed atmosphere, but with food that is more "fine dining" than their daytime offering.

We wanted a light lunch and a local suggested this café. It turned out to be good choice. I had a well-filled tuna sandwich on a grain bread, accompanied by a small salad. The other meal we tried was scrambled eggs whose size reflected the price. We were tempted by the home made cakes on display especially the rich chocolate brownie.

I've been going here for a few years, its a small friendly cafe, with food cooked from fresh produce.. great people and a warm welcome and an excellent reminder of what local cafes offer over the usual high street chain coffee shops..

Perfect place to meet friends for a delicious lunch. Cheese on toast, a scone or something more - home made and tasty every time. Evening meals also available

Just been out for an evening meal at the Wild Heart Cafe in the Angel Hotel passageway in Bourne, as we heard they'd starting opening Tues, Weds & Thurs 6.30pm to 9pm. Delicious, photos below. Sorry there's not one of the King prawns cooked in garlic butter, etc - it looked so good we just fell on it, forgetting the camera until later. The mains we both chose were the Crab linguine, all the stuff is on their online menu until they change it for something different next week We particularly liked Simon's laid back choice of background music during the meal.

I came across this cafe by accident and was pleased to have found it. There was a friendly welcome, good vegetarian choice, good service, and a clean and tidy environment. The music theme (both in the cafe and toielt!) reflects the adjoining music shop and the background music being played was both pleasant and unobtrusive. I was pleased to see they use bread from an independent baker for their sandwiches, and their Turkish flatbread panini is the best panini I've ever had. I'm sure I'll make a return visit when visiting Bourne again.

Visiting Bourne, I discovered that the vegetarian friendly cafe we'd hoped to visit was closed for a holiday. We decided to search for another cafe and discovered this lovely one in the Angel Centre, so we decided to try it. We were made to feel welcome and it was explained it was counter service. We had the Mozarella, tomato and pesto mayonnaise pannini with decaf tea, which was of good quality. I will certainly return to to try the other vegetarian selections. The style of the cafe is lovely too, with a music theme, up to and including the decor of the toilet!

We popped in for lunch today having checked reviews on trip advisor- we weren’t disappointed!

Visited the Wild Heart Cafe for the first time on Saturday and wasn’t disappointed. Great food, friendly staff and quick service. Will definitely be revisiting soon!

Definitely the best cafe in Bourne! Simon is a very talented chef who creates delicious recipes and makes the best buttery pastry ever. Seasonal vegetables are featured and all the ingredients are wholesome and of great quality. Sally is the friendly face of the cafe providing excellent service, always with a smile and good humour. Last but not least, the most delicious coffee.

Popped in for lunch with a couple of friends, we had macaroni cheese with garlic bread. It was absolutely delicious! A small friendly cafe with really good quality food, can highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back for another meal.

Good coffee excellent quick service, was very busy but still good and fast service. Would highly recommend.

Scrumptious lunch , how to take a jacket potato to the next level ! Simon makes all the food himself and his attention to detail for taste is superb .

The Wild Heart Cafe is a firm favourite of mine whenever I visit family and friends in Bourne. For both breakfast and lunch, the quality, price, and service of the food on offer is very hard to beat. It is telling that even since a large high-street branded coffee shop moved into Bourne, this place continues to go from strength to strength.

This is our ‘go to’ Cafe in Bourne. Keep meaning to try the others but why take the risk when this is always good. The Paninis are delish, my only complaint is they they don’t leave room for a cake as well, which are also delish. Must go more often is the only solution. Always had friendly service and never had to wait long.

I made a decision to try out this "cafe"..

Our Saturday treat is always to come here for the most wonderful cheese scones and coffee. Good choice of lunches, cakes etc. and very accommodating for special diets.

Looked at the website so was surprised that the pictures of food on there bore no resemblance to foods on the menu or specials board. Having said that the food was very tasty and good quality ingredients were used.

My favourite is cheese on toast,go on and try it You can buy Hambleton bread here as well. Don't forget to try some home made 🍰

This cafe seems to be always busy. We managed to grab a table and so glad we did. For a little family run cafe the food is outstanding. Homemade fresh cakes everyday and today I experienced the homemade Tostada. I think the picture explains how my tastebuds exploded. If you are ever in the area of Bourne, Lincs I cannot recommend this to cafe enough

Today I visited Wild Heart cafe and had a Christmas panini and strawberry milkshake, it was the best panini I...

3 0f us booked for Xmas Menu last Mondy. Pleasant interior and very friendly welcome. We had pre ordered 3...

Visited with a friend for a treat after a visit to hospital. Ordered Victoria sponge, a strawberry milk shake and...

A really nice little café/music shop. The owners are really friendly and the food is homemade. I really recommend the cheese scones which I've often had straight from the oven! Its a tiny bit pricey compared to other places in Bourne but definitely worth it for the nice atmosphere and great food

What a great evening of Master Chef food provided by Simon and music by "Underdrive Johnny" all for £17.50 - the place was jumping with sounds from the 70s to 90s. If you have not visited this gem hidden away in Bourne you are missing something in your life! Special mention to Sally and the girls who provided a superb front of house service to the fully booked tables! Looking forward to many more events like this - well done all!!

Lovely hambleton bread and nice homemade quiches, cakes and bakes. Very family friendly and accommodating. Tucked away gem in town.

Meet my friend here for lunch... she's been many times .

Called in for a coffee and snack mid morning

Un lugar fantástico para reuniones con un ambiente cálido y acogedor, que golpearon en la cafetería/lugares conocidos establecimientos de café de la marca. Este café complementa las otras 'marca 'establecimientos en la ciudad. La comida es muy buena y como no bebe café, estoy confiablemente informaron de que la cafetera justo en el clavo.

This little cafe and attached music shop is always evolving to meet the needs of it's customers. It it totally unique to the area and shows how a small family firm can do amazing things.The food is always freshly cooked/baked and frequently changing and the atmosphere is always really friendly.Be aware though, at peak times, you may have to wait for a seat (although the extended area in the shop should help there); but trust me it's worth the wait!If you need a reason to visit Bourne then this is it!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch all home made food,could definitely taste the difference! Will be back again very friendly staff!

I was able to call and reserve a table for myself and 3 friends for lunch. The welcome was warm and the food was yummy. My friends and I enjoyed paninis followed by coffee and cake. All food was yummy. Thank you!

Friends directed us to this cafe-cum-music shop, hidden behind The Angel on Bourne High Street. The two sides - cafe and shop - are entered by different doors, but unite further back. There's a good selection on the menu; we opted for paninis, which were made from really tasty bread. A future trip is required to sample the breakfasts (which are served til 11.30). Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, and it was quite busy on a wet Monday afternoon in March, which speaks volumes. AND there's a music shop attached :-)

Its not often you get to combine my two great loves, music and good food.Its quite exceptional to find this quality if food until you delve into the owners past. The quiche melts in your mouth and the ommlettes are incredible. The in house ( like homemade but better) coleslaw is light with a bite of dill and compliments most of the dishes served. The cakes will get you thrown out the slimmers world, and well worth the time spent in the gym.I left with my new didgeridoo, tenor ukelale, and and satisfied tummy. I can't recommend enough you visit here. Its friendly atmosphere makes each visit a pleasure. They also support the local comunity by selling local produce.

This is a small family run café offering all sorts on nice things to eat and drink. Not good for the waist line but it is well worth a visit.

A great family run business with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere along with delicious food . Best cafe in bourne !

The reception is smiling and neverfailingly friendly.The cakes are freshly made and possibly the best in town.

Was working in the vicinity and on the way back to Peterborough, nipped into Bourne and went to say Hi to Simon in the Wild Heart Music store, then nipped to the nearby computer store, then back to Wild Heart for a mid afternoon meal, the macaroni cheese and garlic bread was excellent! Fully recommended! Cheers! Nick

If you want a great full English for a great price look no further than wild heart cafe. I have nothing but good things to say about this musical cafe.

I so like this slightly quirky cafe. It's open to the music shop next door and so your lunch may be accompanied by someone trying out an instrument! The food is good quality with delicious homemade quiches, scones and so on. My only gripe is that they run out of jacket potatoes and other popular items sometimes before 1 pm! It is a shame that it is hidden away in The Angel Arcade but definitely worth a try.

Great food, great Breakfast. Nice staff.Interesting music shop within cafe, with helpful young lad, very friendly too.

Lovely little eatery. Have taken out food before which was delicious. Decided to have coffee in the morning which was very nice. Lunch was just the right amount. Not too much. So often in places the portions are too generous. I had a sweet chilli chicken panini which was first class and a scrumptious slice of lemon poppy seed cake which I'd sampled before. All served with a smile. Lovely couple run the cafe. Will certainly be returning soon.

This place is by far the best coffee shop in the area. Sally and Simon are great. They are friendly, do great homemade food and do great coffee. They often do music evenings too with meals. The big advantage as well is that it's attached to a good local music shop also ran by Sally and Simon. It's a must visit if you're in the area.

After seeing the great selection of Vegetarian dishes shown on the cafe's Facebook page I'd been keen to pop in for a savoury bite to eat when next in Bourne. It was a little disappointing to find only a more limited menu available - maybe there are more cooked options available when visiting in the evening? However the Ploughmans was advised to be Vegetarian so we gave that a try. Although the date and walnut bread was very nice with the fresh butter and cheddar cheese, I thought the accompaniments were a little sparse for the price asked (with the chutney more of a salsa and salad consisting of 1 lettuce leaf and 2 small slices of tomato). The coffee was really good so maybe a cuppa and slice of cake would've been more satisfying. Sorry for the average mark as I would have liked to have scored higher for the friendly service. Not quite as advertised.

While we are having a break we thought we would check out the local good rated eating places Wild of heart is number two in Bourne, first of all we nearly walked pass it a from the outside it does not look like a eating place, glad we did not miss it as the food and atmosphere was very nice and relaxing, nice coffee and nice home made food.

We frequently visit Wildlheart for good coffee, good food and good company. After a very concerning week in national life, I felt sure my equilibrium could be restored by something that never changes - A good English Breakfast!!! Saying that, even that quintessential start to the day has also declined in many places.Not so at Wildheart in Bourne! The Full English here is alive and well, beautifully cooked, every part hot and tasty, freshly cooked and served on a HOT plate. So in these challenging days if you need your spirits lifting, come and enjoy what Sally and Simon have to offer and then leave with a spring in your step!!

My eldest son and I both play guitar and often pop in to buy supplies, the food is fantastic, all homemade, try the bakewell! You'll want more!!

We could not resist another return visit and was not surprised to see that it was as good if not better then the last visit, Got to watch the waist line though !!Could buy yourself a nice set of drums or other musical things while you are there....

fabulous food extremely pleasant and friendly staff, myself and my vegetarian daughter ate her for lunch, the food was absolutely lovely.

Great independent cafe with a big heart, linked to a most useful music shop. Food is just perfect, with everything home-cooked and served up by friendly husband and wife owners. Always a warm welcome, good coffee, cakes, lovely soups and irresistible scones cooked fresh every day. A real gem in a small market town!

This little cafe is charming it's a family run business and very good worth a try nothing is to much trouble

Oh wow! Had a great night last night (22/4/2016) with sublime food from Simon and Sally AND fabulous music from Pennyless! As an end to a working week it would be difficult to beat. A real family affair, such a warm and welcoming atmosphere; it really felt like a private dinner party with good friends! Only room for 26 but they could fill that dozens of times over! Thanks, from Mary + Terry x

Great fresh food, the cheese scones are best I have ever had.All food home made, home cooked.Real friendly folks and great prices, WiFi too!

Love lunch with a friend. I had a delicious bowl of homemade mushroom soup which came with the best cheese scone I'd ever tasted! My friend had a lovely oven baked jacket potato with cheesy beans which she thoroughly enjoyed too. Highly recommend this place. Staff very friendly and helpful. A real gem of a place 5*****

Lovely food for all the family; my son loved the milkshakes and my stilton bacon quiche with a generous helping of salad was filling and delicious. Popular but still friendly and welcoming.

Came for a nice catch up with my Nan who came from Liverpool to see me last week.Was nice to see that all the cakes were handmade. I'll be having a scone next time as they look amazing. Was a nice atmosphere, was busyish with nice music in the background. It was nice to see all the instruments as well displayed. We both had cheese on toast and we both commented it was the best we have ever had. The cappuccinos were lovely and I'll be coming back again. The only negative I would say is that you have to go to the till to order and pay.

Had a nice coffee break. Good coffee's and a delicious toasted tuna sandwich and a homemade quiche. Nice cosy environment, very helpful and professional staff. What I'm impressed with the most was this place is a combo of a nice cafe and a music shop.

A regular place for us, where we enjoy a lovely warm welcome, scrumptious chocolate brownies and a good choice of other equally delicious homemade goodies (not all at once of course!). We haven't tried their breakfasts yet but being there whilst they are cooking them makes the old tastebuds work overtime! This cafe is a real gem and is well worth a visit. The proprietors are very friendly and we certainly enjoy popping in.

Lovely place for coffee and chat. owners are so helpful, nothing is too much trouble. try Cheese Scones.....Devine...

A small, cosy cafe. The most friendly of welcomes. Can be very popular midday so I pick mid to late afternoon for a visit. Excellent choice of background music. Right in the town centre but if you don't know Bourne worth asking a local for directions (easy to find)

All food freshly prepared and good value for money and the tea and coffee are good too, The owners are so friendly you would think you have known them for years.If you are musically minded they also have a lovely music shop incorporated in the premises

Where do I start!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groovie man!!!.Food is brill,service is brill,lovely people,good atmosphere.Coffee is excellent .Music brings back lovely memories.

Needing a coffee and something to eat while out shopping, well there is nowhere better than the Wild Heart Cafe in Bourne. Lovely friendly staff and good food all made in house by the husband and wife team. I ordered a coffee and had the soup of the day with a bread roll, again made in house and it was perfect. There is also a music shop run by Simon with an open wall between the two shops so the music drifts through the shop which is very nice. Go give them a visit if you are near. Very nice.

Good cakes and welcoming atmosphere. The musical theme makes it individual. The service is good but not rushed

The welcome is brilliant, you really feel that they are genuinely pleased to see you. Food and coffee are excellent, very unusual Turkish flat breads, but so tasty. Home made cakes too, and plenty of reading material. It's an extra bonus if there is someone trying out an instrument in the adjoining music shop - a real treat for the ears!

Lovely little cafe tucked away in the arcade. Tasty food that doesn't break the bank & friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Came into Bourne today to try out this little cafe for lunch after reading great reviews on here. We were not disappointed. The service was friendly and the food and drinks were lovely. The Victoria Sponge in particular was absolutely gorgeous. A lovely run cafe with a nice atmosphere, much better than your Costa or Starbucks.

My wife and I visited this cafe because we had seen the reviews on Tripadvisor, and we were not disappointed. The relaxed and friendly ambience made this small unassuming cafe feel very homely. The husband and wife team that run this cafe and adjoining music shop were very welcoming and the food and service was excellent. We had a full English breakfast and it was delicious, and very good value for money. The cafe was quite full, but it didn't feel crowded and had a nice buzz about it. We will be returning and I can thoroughly recommend it.

Lovely homemade food, and relaxed friendly atmosphere - great with kids, but clearly a favourite with lots of regulars and locals - and you can get some quality musical instruments in the adjoined shop. Try and independent coffee shop - try this one!

Always made to feel welcome and at ease. Very friendly staff and coffee is always good! Definitely our favourite place!

What a lovely place! Tucked away, sharing its space with a music shop. Very nearly missed it, but extremely glad we didn't!

Lovely coffee, best cheese scones in the world. What's not to like? My only criticism would be that sometimes it's impossible to get in as the place is full, having only a few tables. Sure it wohn't be long until they have to expand.

Fabulous cake , great coffee , and all those musical instruments .. Great friendly service , Ask for the Cake recipes , they are happy to share . Fabulous wholesome soups . All HomemadeThe date did not go so well

Lovely warm atmosphere, fresh cooked food. Well cooked and enjoyable. Would visit again without a doubt

My wife and I stopped at the wild heart cafe for a coffee and cake and we were not dissapointed. The cakes and scones for sale were very good and all homemade. The other food on the menu looked very appertizing and all seem very good value. Certainly seems like a great place for lunch or coffee and cake!
