"The barista was charming and amusing, made a superb hot chocolate with the works my husband said it 's good enough to come back for, even with the hill! The sandwiches were delicious, just perfect for lunch, and reasonably priced. The book selection is eclectic (and I was amused to find a German copy of the Geisha) and the sofas super comfy. I found a fun novel to enjoy, I loved the idea of the book return discount and the pecan toffee cookies were very tasty indeed. Heads up, because it 's such an old and protected building, there isn 't anywhere for bathroom facilities, but there 's public toilets up to the left of the castle, a couple of minutes walk up the road one set is 20p, or inside the castle walls is free. Charge me rent, I 'd be happy to stay! "

Lovely welcoming cafe. Stopped for a cuppa and cake and a rest after walking up, but definitely worth it. Attentive and friendly staff. Beautiful coffee.

Lovely atmosphere, great coffee, great hospitality. Very welcoming and a really calm place. Due to covid only pre prepared sandwiches available so get there early

We found this place purely by chance on Steep Hill. There are tables outside. The sandwiches are lovely and fresh and the coffee was great. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Found this cracking hideaway on my journey up the hill. The chap that served me (I didn’t catch his name) couldn’t have been more helpful. Great coffee and a superb ethos with the book element. Long live the independent coffee shop!

Today I visited again with my brother for a take away coffee. It is the best tasting coffee in Lincoln. Please during current times keep small local businesses open by using them and not buying from the large chains. Great polite service with a smile.

Loved the layout of the cafe, meant that wherever we sat we wouldn't be sitting right next to anyone which was convenient for social distancing. The food was lovely and the customer service was beyond friendly! A nice break after walking up the steep hill on the way to the cathedral. Definitely recommend.

Looking round Lincoln we wanted a coffee. Most around the main street were full, so heading back towards the cathedral we saw this cafe. It was ideal. Seating inside for about 12 separated by shelves of books, and seating outside too. Food choice was limited as we were there on a Monday, and all the cakes are homemade so he was awaiting a fresh supply. We had a couple of sandwiches which were tasty. Coffee was good and you can read any of the books if you want.

Stopped here while waiting to check in to our hotel. The chap behind the counter was very friendly, warm and patient with our dithering. He also explained the story of the building, which is a really different and cosy environment. They have a massive variety of teas/coffees as it's partnered with the tea-shop above. There are (obviously) lots of books around the place, with plenty of amusing titles that catch your eye. There is no toilet, but the chap kindly gave us change and directions to the public toilet up the road. Definitely recommend.
