Highly recommended. Lovely little cafe. Interesting people and food.

Popped in wanting a coffee, but the atmosphere was lovely so decided to sit in. Really friendly staff, welcoming and knowledgeable. Following a couple of questions, I was convinced to try a hot chocolate. Honestly, the nicest I've ever tasted.Wasn't feeling very adventurous so just had the all day brunch to eat, but it was delicious.If you just want a sweet treat, the Cookie Slice is my recommendation; so good!

My issues are not with the food whilst it has a very limited menu the food was very nice.However the place was small and cramped, the table cloths were dirty and stained and even torn in placesNothing matched with the cutlery and dishes, when they brought glasses out they were a mixture of plain glasses and old beer glasses.Dinning here could be a much better experience if they updated the decor painted and cleaned the place.It had the feel of a dirty backstreet cafe from the 60s or early 70s (for those that can remember that far back)As I have said the food was limited but very nice, if this was a slightly larger place with modern crisp clean decor it could be a gold mine

We ate here during our visit to Lincoln. Fantastic café, with tasty food, generous portions and delicious desserts.

Very disappointing experience. I went there with my girlfriend for a drink and something small to eat, there was just one table with 5 people occupied which had their food on the table already. We ordered two lattes and one of the soups which the waitress recommended, as they didn't have most of the menu on that day which is okay. It took them 20 minutes with a pretty empty venue to serve our coffee. We were waiting another 20 minutes for the soup to be served and at that point we didn't think it was worth waiting for so we paid for the coffees and left.

Good only for vegans who like to eat junk food. So if you like healthy meals this is a no go.Coffee is alright.Service could be improved.
Ambience - homely and welcoming Food - homemade and beautiful Value for money - out of this world My daughter and I visited during our weekend away in Lincoln. We were wonderfully welcomed and my lasting impression is how warm both Mel and Jo are. We will definitely return when we visit again.

The food is just so good here! I highly recommend the chick’n strips and Mac & cheeze balls. I wish I could share photos but I’ve eaten it!

Such a lovely welcoming space. My friend and I spent 4 relaxing hours there yesterday trying out a selection of teas, all delicious. Perhaps mist importantly, my wee pooch was made really welcome and was even given his own cushion to sit on. The shanties experience is definitely high on my agenda for a repeat visit. Now my favourite place to chill out ✌️

I remember when this place first opened in a different location. I went for a meal with friends and enjoyed it very much. The venue was very small but cosy and the food was absolutely delicious Therefore I decided to go back.As much as I enjoyed my first visit, this much I disliked the second one. It was freezing cold outside, me and my partner was looking for a warm place to sit and enjoy vegan food so I said " cafe shanti". The venue did not impress me at all, the design was very outdated. It doesn't look clean and inviting.We could choose to sit downstairs or on the first floor and we went upstairs, unfortunately. I was shocked, but the place did not have any hitting, what's more, it has single-glazed windows. It was freezing cold. For all that time we stayed, I was shaking and my hands were literally ice cold and we did not take off our coats even for a second. I ordered a hot tea to warm up, but it didn't help. The food was delicious. The burger with the addition of mac & cheese was smashing.The menu was so different from what I remembered though. I would expect more Nepalese cuisine rather than other. It is a mix of everything right now which is slightly disappointing. Although the portions and the taste were absolutely fantastic, but from the cold I forgot to take a picture of it though.Surprisingly the only hitting, which was btw portable, was downstairs.We surely won't be coming back soonParking: Lack of parking as it's in the city centre

I had a really lovely dinner here. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the interior decor was really nice and the food was amazing- I still can't believe it's all vegan!
