Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The standout here is undoubtedly the friendly service from the owners, often highlighted in reviews. Customers appreciate how welcoming the environment feels and how the staff engages in genuine conversations.
Visitors rave about the Full English breakfast, which hits just the right spot. Its combination of perfectly cooked items makes it a must-try during mornings.
The desserts also earn high marks, especially the classic Victoria sponge that pairs perfectly with their coffee. The cafe's tea selection is a delightful surprise as well, catering to tea lovers with precision and care.
Most Disliked
While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few customers mentioned the occasional wait time during peak hours, especially on weekends. The popularity of the cafe sometimes leads to a bustling atmosphere that may require a little patience, though many consider it worth the wait.
Some diners noted that menu choices might come across as limited, especially for those seeking unique or adventurous items. However, the focus on quality over quantity clearly resonates with regulars. It's not uncommon for newer visitors to suggest more variety after their visits, which speaks to the cafe's growing reputation.

Me and my husband came in this morning for a mini breakfast date, and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The owners are a lovely couple and are down to earth and you can have a good chat with them. WIll definitely be coming back again and making it our little spot for coffees and food. Would 100000000% recommend coming here if your in the area. They are also really good for price as well. My husband said thier omelettes are to die for and really tasty.

I was 55 miles into a 100 mile cycle ride and in desperate need of cake and caffeine and a ride Marshall pointed me in the direction of this cafe. The young man serving me was lovely and took me through the cake selection. I settled on the Victoria sponge and an americano. The Victoria sponge was just the ticket and was genuinely perfect. The coffee was cracking too, I meant to ask what beans they use but forgot, certainly a stroke of luck to find this place on the route.

Stopped for breakfast with the family and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and interesting to chat to, the food was lovely and reasonably priced, and the cafe was clean and comfortable. Our young children loved it and felt comfortable there, as did we. Lovely setting too, we had a stroll around Heckington afterwards which was nice. Looking forward to coming back.
