This place is totally gorgeous!!! Love the coffee/food and cake. All fresh and delicious. But then all the items for sale and beautiful, tasteful and very very reasonably price. The setting atmosphere and staff make it my favourite place to be. Very rarely leave empty handed, especially around Christmas time when you 'just have to have it'!!! Will be there again later today. Love love love it!!
Best afternoon tea in Lincoln, anyone visiting should definitely head for this place.
Always best to book as they only have a small number of tables, but can cater for 14 I think is the maximum. Today 12 of us had afternoon tea all I can say is WOW the amount of sandwiches, smoked salmon and cream cheese, ham, and cheese and pickle, warm quiches, cheese and also fruit scones served with jam and clotted cream, then came a platter of fantastic homemade cakes. We all took doggie bags home with us. The ladies that serve are lovely and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend this tearoom for quality and definitely value for money.
Well this place is great. Firstly the tea. It was perfect. It’s shocking how often places can get a cup of tea wrong. This was a pot for one and it was perfect!
The lil garden out the back is great, there is cover if necessary and the shop is cram bang full of all sorts of interesting pretty little things to look at. I had the salad and it was huge as you can see and very very enjoyable. I really recommend this place. Thank you x
Had a treat afternoon tea from my friend today.
It was absolutely fabulous.
Probably the best cream tea I have ever had.
We had one of the huts in the back which was just perfect.
The sandwiches and cakes was absolutely gorgeous.
Everything homemade.
I can’t recommend The Sanctuary enough.
Well done for all your hardwork , you deserve all the success that comes your way.
A very happy customer 🥂
Clean and inviting atmosphere with plenty of interesting decorative pieces to see. Not the shortest wait for food in the world.. but certainly worth it every time!! Italian ham, tomato, and mozzarella ciabatta is a must-have.
I thought this fab cafe was a shop! But it's both, we walked in and it smelled so good, they sell Maison Berger room fragrance lamps and that is what we could smell, the lady that served us was so friendly and knowledgeable about the products that I bought one. The iced coffee was great and the cake to die for!
Nice place for a real cup of tea and substantial doorstep sandwich with coleslaw and lettuce trimmings. Service with a smile from the young waitress. Very good.
A nice place to eat and relax in a quiet atmosphere. A little slow on clearing the tables and wiping the table down properly. When the food arrived it was enjoyable. 4 stars.
Excellent food, but the cakes are a bit expensive at £3.60 per slice.
We stopped here for hot chocolates and tea cakes on our way up to the cathedral. Beautiful cafe with friendly staff. They also sold lots of home items, with some amazing Christmas decorations! Definitely recommend!
Cosy little place, only stopped for coffee but was very enjoyable, staff attentive and friendly.
