Absolutely fantastic place to go to eat. I had a Jacket potato with cheese bean's and Salad. Absolutely delicious . It's also Dog friendly which is really lovely because my little Dog Absolutely loves it. He had a sausage to eat .

Nice, varied menu and quite reasonably priced for an attraction cafe. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place is clean and welcoming. I had a warm scone with butter and jam (never knew warm scones were a thing, but they're lovely!) and a pot of tea.

Drawn in by the positive reviews, we were delighted with the (vegan) options. Service was brisk, by very professional and friendly staff and the food was nicely presented. The vegan spinach and falafel burger was generous and tasty; the soup thick and hearty. A great experience of a well-run cafe and we’ll certainly be back. Hopefully some of the vegan options make it into the year-round menu!

Tried it for the first time, absolutely lovely! Had the french toast with bacon, scrambled eggs & maple syrup - super good. Dad loved his full english and said the black pudding was fantastic. Coffee is on the weaker side but still perfectly enjoyable. Very lovely ambience with outdoor seating, right outside of the majestic cathedral. You can also order & pay from your phone at the table which is very convenient (regular ordering and payment available). Prices in line with any other breakfast place in the area

Beautiful setting by the cathedral. The wraps were fresh, the chips hot and crispy, and the service was excellent—friendly and attentive throughout. Good value for money. Overall a great experience. Highly recommended.

Came here this morning for a wonderful coffee and full English breakfast. We'd normally go somewhere else, but the lovely airy cafe has amazing scenery, great service and the coffee and food was so good, that we'll be now making this our normal place to go in future. Certainly worth a visit if you're taking a trip to Lincoln, or if like us you're local it is well worth a regular visit, you won't be disappointed!

Ordered coconut milk latte and gingerbread loaf but the loaf was very hard so I returned it. The staff member responded really well and said you have three options. Not something you usually hear when things go wrong. I chose an alternative, lemon drizzle cake and it was soft and delicious. My latter was excellent. Just what I needed for an afternoon treat. The atmosphere inside and outside is lovely. I ate at the front of the cafe outside. There is also a courtyard space that you can eat in and lots of seating indoors. Really beautiful grounds with lots of plants.
