Cafes Independent Tea Room

Located just a stone's throw away from the castle in uphill Lincoln, our Lawn Cafe is housed within what was once the cookhouse of the former 'Lincoln Lunatic Asylum'. Originally built in 1819, the former hospital now house the fully refurbished and carefully designed Lawn café which incorporates carefully restored, original artefacts like the old theatre spotlights and some amazing décor such as a life-size killer whale. Yes, life size! Lulu as she is known, is made from old car bumpers and coffee machine parts and suspended from the rafters.  

For coffee lovers, we also created a fantastic viewing area so that you can see right into our roastery. Watch our master roasters at work, smell the delicious coffee roasting away and enjoy a cup of the finished product while you do!

On the menu, you'll find a selection of delicious dishes and treats made with the finest, locally sourced, produce. From a full English breakfast to elegant light bites and our famous fine teas and fresh roasted coffees - we’ve got you covered.
