Loved our afternoon break from shopping at Margarets tea room. After being told at another well known coffee shop they had no room we chanced going to see Des at his tea room .
As soon as I walked in I felt comfortable the choice of tea was amazing and cakes divine had sandwiches aswell which were fantastic .
A definite must forget everywhere else Margaret's Tea room is a must if you are visiting Lincoln .
Thank you !
Such a great find! This a beautiful tea room and a hidden gem. So many teas to choose from but I can honestly say that Scotch Mist is the nicest tea I’ve ever had. Such a fantastic blend of lavender and bergamot among other delights. This is more than a tea room it’s a tea sampling experience and you are made so welcome. Delicious cakes too!!
Absolutely stunning experience at Margaret’s Tea Rooms yesterday. We were all made to feel really welcome and the red velvet cake was delicious. The tea selection is exceptional. Lovely place to meet with friends! We’ll be back x
We had really quality time here. The owner is so passionate and humorous to make our stay memorable and relaxing. They offer a variety of great tea served with delicious cakes, not to mention the lovely atmosphere and the cosy furnishing. We rank Orange cake and brownie top on our list! Overall, it's excellent and definitely worth a visit!
The place location is very great and the decoration is captivating.
👍👍👍 The food was very very tasty and great. I was going to order afternoon tea at 15.30 but I was told that this should be booked in advance. So I got (Cheddar sandwiches + salads + crisps, Tuna sandwiches, Fruit scones + jam + cream+ strawberry, Carrot cake and normal tea) nearly afternoon tea but without the afternoon tea stand 😅.
The thing that I would like to be concerned is that at my specific experience I found some difficulty in communication (Visitor - English not my mother tongue) with some staff which if concerned will be very appreciated, though I'm not ruling out that I also have to learn/adjust to different speed and pitches.
My order was larger than the table space which made me and my partner uncomfortable though there were some free large tables.
Me, my partner and two friends visited this little gem yesterday and absolutely loved it! Really friendly staff and amazing choice of flavoured and herbal tea. The sandwiches were soft and delicious! Also a nice selection of scones and cakes, lovely interior and we will be returning on our next visit to Lincoln!
Everything you could hope for in a tiny package. An excellent host who interacted with all customers. A wide range of tea flavours (we tried 3 different ones and were so impressed we even bought some to take home) and you get a proper tea pot full, no daft one cup offering here! We had afternoon tea which should appeal to any sweet toothed person it came with a generous selection of cakes and some finger sandwiches and salad, just enough so you can pretend it was a healthy meal.
The decor is very unique, nothing chain store in sight.
If you like small and boutique I'd highly recommend a visit. We went for a hen-do but will go back as a couple.

Absolutely sublime, amazing attention to detail, wonderful relaxed atmosphere, welcoming and beautiful. The staff are friendly, service was brilliant, nothing too much trouble. Children are welcomed, try the Kinder cake! The afternoon tea is five star and the tea selection is fab, though you don't have to have tea, they have coffee and soft drinks as well. Margaret's has a great back story as well and is down to the hard work of the owner. Highly recommend and will be back soon.
Delightful tea room opposite small park area. Friendly service. However I have just removed 1 star as I've seen the amount charged for 2 latte (hot but not the best) and 1 piece of cake which was expensive. Sadly we will not be returning for that reason.
Just wow. Wonderful place with fabulous customer service and delicious food and coffee. I’ve never a better experience of afternoon tea. Would definitely return.
We had a lovely afternoon tea here, which consisted of cute little sandwich fingers, scones, a variety of mini cakes (chocolate orange cake, carrot cake, maccaroons etc), pork pies.
We also had the funky flavoured tea called 'Birthday cake', would highly recommend! A nice treat indeed.
Des was a great host and owner!
Once again Margaret's Tea Room excellent.
Gorgeous cakes and afternoon tea a delight.
I live in North West and a trip here is always on my to do list.
Des and the tea room will be missed when he closes in June.
