  “Well, where do I start, popped in for a lunch, went with the specials! Partner had a sausage Yorkshire with chips & gravy which was actually lovely, we both had some tea, which was nice too. Also was extremely fast service. However.... My personal opinion is that the prices are more reflective of convenience than of quality. Reason being, I went for the "special" fish pie and it really was special in it's own way, being that it had zero containment and I mean not even a spec of fish, ended up with glorified mash potatoe with the salad and garlic bread being more prominent. Wasnt labelled as a veggie option or anything like that, literally just said Fish pie, without any further description. Would've been nice to know this before choosing. Disappointed and felt stupid, double & triple checked for any menu description or silly ,(v), veggie icon but to no prevail. Just felt ripped off for £10.99.”

  “If there were a travel brochure titled *“Saga Holidays: Lincoln – The Deluxe Cake Edition”*, this place would be on the front cover. The Grand Coffee Shop is perfectly positioned right next to the bus stop, which means easy access for pensioners, prams, tired shoppers, and anyone whose knees click when they stand up. Absolute prime real estate. Step inside and it’s immediately obvious someone has put real thought (and love) into the place. The café looks fantastic — comfy furniture, loads of different tables and chairs so you never feel like you’re sitting in a copy-and-paste IKEA showroom, and an impressive collection of light fittings that somehow all work together. Old coffee shop signs line the walls, twinkly lights glow in the windows, and the whole place has that cosy “stay for another hour” vibe. Now… the cake. Sweet mercy, the cake. If you like cake, *really* like cake, or just want to stare at cake in disbelief, this is your spiritual home. I chose the Dubai choc and pistachio cookie pie — a bold decision, a brave decision, and possibly a life-shortening decision. Good job I haven’t got diabetes because this thing was absolutely a contender for giving it to me on the spot. I don’t know how I finished it, but I did, and I regret nothing. I’d already hit my maximum coffee intake for the day, so while my wife sensibly enjoyed a pot of tea, I went full rebel and had a bottle of Bulmers cider. Total yin and yang — could not have been further apart on the spectrum if we tried. Staff were genuinely polite and friendly, adding to the warm, welcoming feel. Best coffee and cake shop in Lincoln? Honestly… I’d say yes. Well worth a visit — just maybe wear stretchy trousers. Oh and I didn't mention they do food too!!”

  “Located at the bus station and really close to the train station, we popped in for breakfast. Lovely selection of cakes and pastries. We opted for a full English but there was lots of choice on the lunch menu too. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Thumbs up - thankyou.”

  “Very pleasant place to pop for a coffee and a bite to eat. Been here a couple of times, fast service and tasty food. Good vibes and you even get a little pair of scissors to open the sauce sachets... helpful if you lack a bit of dexterity like me!”

  “Came here on the recommendation of the wife, really wish I hadnt! From the outside it does look really inviting, but the breakfast was something else. Ordered poached eggon toast with bacon, eggs came out hard boiled, never seen poached bacon was nice and crispy but the toast was anemic! And smothered in margarine. Cappuccino was like dish water, won't return in a hurry.”

  “Only just walked in, was greeted very warmly by the barista. Ordered an Irish coffee for £5.50 and it was bought to me in less than two minutes. Very friendly staff, warm and cosy environment. Will definitely visit again!”

  “Independent cosy coffee and lunchroom next to the Lincoln Bus Station and the train station. With a nice coffee and a friendly, almost home like atmosphere. With your friendly neighbour family staff, comfortable chairs and lounge sofa. Good sandwiches and the best place to take some time off, waiting for your train or bus.”

  “Was going to send my friend home at the bus station, when I thought of this cafe. The decoration looked lovely with the falling fairy lights (definitely good for photos!) We ordered smoothies, nice but definitely could do with improvement on the consistency and it was quite sour, but I personally like sour taste. The cakes were good too. They have a large variety on their menu! :)”
