About Take 5 Tea room

Take 5 Tea room builds its daytime menu around breakfast, and this High Street cafe in Lincoln sizes it to the appetite, from a standard plate up to a large one and on to the breakfast challenge for anyone wanting an oversized version. Cakes, bakes and afternoon tea treats sit alongside the main menu, and coffee or tea works for a stop-in without a meal. Orders arrive hot at the table rather than over a counter. Reservations are recommended, and the team also takes bookings for group gatherings with sandwiches and cakes, along with event catering and private occasions such as baby showers. High chairs make it workable for families with young children, and dogs are welcome, which matters if you are walking one through the city. The cafe opens daily during the day, so visitors staying in Lincoln can plan a morning or afternoon visit around it.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what brings most reviewers through the door, described as delicious by one first timer who regretted not ordering the large size and singled out by others as a reason to return while visiting Lincoln. Close behind sits the group catering and event side, with one party booked for a baby shower praising the sandwiches and cakes and another organiser calling booking easy and the quantity and choice generous. Individual dishes draw specific praise too, including a jacket potato with tuna and cheese served with coleslaw, lettuce and tomatoes, the afternoon tea selection of cakes and treats, and the bakes. Several describe a warm, friendly welcome and food arriving piping hot. Against that, one reviewer reports receiving a delivered sausage, hash brown and egg bap with mould on the buns and being unable to reach the cafe by phone afterwards. One visitor who stopped in only for a coffee left planning to try the food next time.
