  “Lovely little cafe for during the week. Quite easy to park in nearby streets. Had all day breakfast which was very filling, tomato could have done with a little longer in pan but otherwise all good. Tea was in lovely big pot and good sized glass of fruit juice. Price very competitive and attentive and polite students. Lovely walk in Arboretum after. Recommended 👍🏼”

  “This was by far the highlight of my trip to Lincoln. As a solo traveller with a dog it has been super hard to find a nice place to eat that's not junk food and go to the loo. By the time I got there, I was really stressed after walking miles & struggling to find somewhere that was appropriate for the little fella but the server was patient and friendly. Not only were they dog friendly (I opted to sit outside), the food was super affordable AND actually nice. No weird ingredients to hike the price up, no complicated menu... just lovely, homemade, proper food and relatively healthy too. Having paid £5 for a coffee multiple times in Lincoln, I was chuffed to get a lush dinner, a bottle of coke and a sausage for the dog for £8. And even better, a lovely couple sitting outside too offered to hold the dog while I went to the toilet. By far the least stressful part of my travels. Thankyou. 😀”

  “An absolutely lovely environment to enjoy any indulgence. Very friendly staff, observant and respectful. Nothing is too much trouble, food is very reasonably priced, with good portions. As it's a learning environment the staff turnover is very regular with new faces nearly everytime I visit. Everyone is friendly and well presented. It's always a pleasure to eat here.”

  “Great welcome & service by all those learning the trade, from taking food & drink orders, payment preparation & cooking of food, serving on this occasion a HUGE jacket potato, full to the brim of vegetarian chilli 'n cheese, salad & coleslaw! When asked by a friendly waiter "If everything was OK"? Full to brim & grinning, i said "the proof is on the plate, i've literally cleaned up thank you, it was d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s" 😋 & off I went for a brisk walk around Lincoln's fabulous Arboretum”

  “Yes the food here is great. Kelsey served me she was lovely. As in really nice. It’s a training cafe but don’t be afraid, they are really good and looked after myself and my guest really well. I am proud to support that place and will definitely return and very soon. I have also heard the afternoon teas are exceptional. I wasn’t sure about ordering poached eggs because they are tricky but Kelsey assured me they can do them and they were great. The tea was in a non leaking teapot and the coffee was brilliant. Very happy. Thank you everyone”

  “After hearing good things about the arboretum cafe we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did. It was a surprise on just how good it was. The food is fantastic and the prices are very good too. Full breakfast and coffee for under a fiver. Everything is made fresh and you can customise to your liking. Poached eggs, fried bread no problem. The quality of the food is very high and I wouldn't be disappointed if I had paid double. I would like to say thank you to Tony for the service, very happy and helpful. This cafe would be great for 121 business meetings or meeting new clients.”
