Quick info
About Dolci Bakehouse
Dolci Bakehouse is a coffee shop in Lincoln at 27 The Strait, at the bottom of Steep Hill. Gelato is scooped into a biscuit or chocolate cone, with flavours including rhubarb and custard and blackcurrant & liquorice, so a cone can be a sweet stop on its own. The cake counter includes a carrot cake made with maple, candied walnut and blueberry. Coffee sits alongside the bakes, and the menu extends to shakes, waffles, desserts and confectionery. Gourmet gifts are also sold in the shop.

Customer Review Summary
Gelato draws the most praise, with reviewers naming vanilla, blackcurrant and liquorice, rhubarb and custard, lemon and pistachio, and Ferrero Rocher ice cream. One calls it the best gelato they have had in the UK and mentions the chocolate cone. Cakes come close behind. The strawberry and cream, a maple, candied walnut and blueberry carrot cake, and a plain carrot cake each earn praise, alongside brownies described as melt in your mouth, a brookie, a Twix blondie and a Cinnabon latte. One reviewer also singles out the cappuccino. Several describe friendly, welcoming staff and a pretty, cozy, quiet room. The one cooler note comes from a reviewer who found the gelato ok but not among the best and called the shop cramped for takeout orders. Several mention stopping in at the bottom of Steep Hill, including after the walk up it.

“Hands down the best cakes I've ever had! I had taken away the strawberry and cream last year during our casual visit to Lincoln and was blown away. However couldn't remember the name of the place. This year when I went back I walked the same path I took to finally come across the cafe again! Oh I was so relieved. Bought a couple more this time 😁 if you are a lover of cakes this place is a must!”

“This is a very pretty shop which is quite cramped for space when it comes to take out orders. The prices are ok and so is the gelato but not up there with the best ones.”
- Dave Silber
“Amazing little place at the bottom of Steep Hill. The cappuccino is quite possibly the best ever and don't pass up on the maple, candied walnut, and blueberry carrot cake. Believe the reviews....I would definitely stop here again.”
- Anika Benesch
“Highly recommended! Come and have a piece of cake. Had the carrot cake. Amazing 😋 A great place after walking up the steep hill ☺️”
- Paula Jones
“What a gem of a cafe this is. Stunning cakes and sweet cake treats. The Gelato is delicious, I had the rhubarb and custard, yummy. Also purchased some cakes and they were delicious. If you are ever in Lincoln and are heading up or down steep hill, this little slice of heaven should be a must.”
