Cafés · Lincoln
There's a lot going on in a small space here, but it works for families — buggy access, free parking right there, high chairs and a kids' menu, and staff who seem genuinely pleased to see people rather than tolerating them. The menu is big and varied with plenty of lighter portions, which helps when a child will only eat half of something. The full English is what people come back for, sausages especially, and the steak pie and homemade scones get the same treatment. It's dog friendly too, with water bowls and treats. Prices sit a little above average for a café, though most feel the quality earns it. It gets steadily busy at breakfast and weekends, so it can be noisy — the flip side is nobody minds a bit of chatter. There's outdoor seating when the weather allows.
