Lamb& kumara pie ...great flavour Pastry needs to be more buttery..8.2/10 Flooring inside is terrible ruins any atmosphere
Very warm and welcoming place. It is what one would imagine as a place to eat while thinking about a village or a small town like Lincoln. The food is good. I had so many good memories about this place. On a cold and windy day getting a coffee for myself and hot chocolate for my kids. On Friday after long and exhausting week lunch coffee with a pie. And today with all the rain we get at the moment delicious spicy pumpkin soup was the most appreciated thing for me and my wife.
I had breakfast here, and it was pretty plain. The takeaway options were better. The place itself didn’t feel very clean. Sadly I must say I had a better experience at other coffee shops in the city.
Food was delicious, I got the Bacon and egg Benedict which comes with a free coffee which was awesome. Value for money, if you love bacon then get this Benedict. Overall service was friendly and nice, atmosphere was quiet and relaxing overall my favourite little cafe so far in NZ.
Pretty cold, the floor is very creaky in some places, but the people working here are very nice. Little to no variety in seating and furniture, just a mixture between 2-4 seats at tables. A pretty rough blue paint job throughout the ex-home. Nice music playing in the background though. Large menu which is good if you're picky, and yes, they do pancakes. Speaking of which, were served with warm, firm, and ripe blueberries (which is really nice on a cold day in a cold room). As well as pretty sweet whipped cream. Don't forget the maple syrup, the highlight of it all! Nice and sticky, with the classic sweetness of the typical maple syrup, and there's lots of it. Now for the cutlery, the fork is a fork and it does that part well. The knife is good and sharp, I love it. The pancakes themselves are cooked to perfection, and they taste loaded with sugar which is great for a sweet tooth like myself. Came pretty quick, the temperature was just right. Great meal overall.
Such a cute cafe! Super warm and cosy environment on a cold winters morning. The service is outstanding! So lovely and accomodating. Good food and coffee too :) will be back!!!
The pies were really quite nice. Very flakey crusts. And nice and warm. I'd have liked a little more spice in my butter chicken one, but it was still lovely.
If you are in Lincoln be sure to check out the Cottage Cafe. Sue and her team deliver an awesome service. Their coffee is top notch and I should know as my team orders 12 coffees every week for our sales meeting. The pies are top notch too and they even have a coffee and pie loyalty card. Brunch meals are good value and the eggs bene is one of my favourites.
Nice setting, liked the old building. Sat out the front seeing we had a dog with us. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was good. I got the breakfast for $20. I think it was worth it for the money. $20 is cheap food these days unfortunately. My partners coffee was just ok for taste, my drink was fine. Would go back again and try more sometime.
