Quick info
About Classic Coffee Shop
Classic Coffee Shop sits at the top of Sea Lane in Skegness, a cafe and breakfast spot among a Tesco, a butchers and a greengrocer. Cooked breakfasts anchor the day, with a full English and a smaller option, while jacket potatoes arrive with fillings such as tuna crunch alongside salad. Fruit runs through the plates, so home-made cakes come with a side portion of fresh fruit and salads are garnished with grapes, orange and watermelon. Food is prepared on the premises to order and brought out hot on a hot plate. The coffee list covers flat whites and flavoured lattes including caramel and gingerbread, with instant Nescafé also served. Tables outside suit anyone who wants to eat in the open air, and dogs are welcome. A step-free entrance helps visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs make room for families with young children. The kitchen opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than bookings.

“We struggled to find somewhere to eat whilst on a long walk (27.4.26). Looked at the reviews for this coffee shop and stopped - so pleased we did. Gent served us was lovely and friendly. We sat outside and had a small breakfast and it was cooked beautifully. Food was very hot and served on a hot plate (perfect). Coffee was also good. We really enjoyed our breakfast and wouldn't hesitate to return. Thanku to the owners.”

“Excellent flat white coffee, followed by a top notch English breakfast, cooked by a lovely British-Ukrainian lady owner who puts her heart and soul into the food and guests.”
- Margaret Bannister (Maggie)
“Just popped in for a late lunch and coffee. I had the Jacket potato with tuna crunch and a milky Nescafé. The meal was absolutely lovely, the salad that came with the jacket potato and filling was fabulously presented with fruit ( grapes, sliced orange and a slice of water melon) as well as the normal salad. I only wished I'd taken a photo..but never thought at the time. I Would definitely return ☺️”
