Cafe Gelato Lincoln — Restaurant in Lincoln

This was my1st visit,I was passing by on my way for a trip walking up steep hill & noticed a small queue outside this shop which is an indication something is worth waiting for with folk coming out with what appeared to be lovely ice-cream , some having double scoops stacked on their waffle cones.On my return back down the hill,I joined in line & noticed the window display shelving showing very tempting inventive cakes .Once inside there wasn't much room as the group of 3 infront being served were blocking the view of the different ice-cream flavours on offer .The lady behind the counter was busy providing very pleasant service on her own by serving the chosen delights ,then having to switch counters across to take payment which can only be made by card, You only find this out at this point,as there's a small label sign taped on the counter top next to the tap card machine. In the end I did quickly choose Raspberry Ripple in a tub & my wife went for Cherry Bakewell also in a tub,priced at £2.85p each .Once outside I felt it wasn't a great serving system for the lady going from one counter to another, when she could of done with some staff assistance especially with it being a red hot day on a busy Saturday afternoon. As for the ice cream ,it was nice but I couldn't taste any raspberry, my wife's opinion was its OK but wouldn't have another as she could taste almonds but no cherry flavour. Having finished I then couldn't see a litter bin outside the shop so I ended carrying the empty tub cartons with me until I found a wheelie bin down a side alley way.I asked myself would I return back again in the future? ...Maybe to try a cake but not for...

Easily the best selection of ice cream in Lincoln! You will always find something new inside their colourful tubs, from refreshing sorbets all the way over to wonderfully chunky and creamy milk ice creams peppered with fruit, cookie dough or cake. There truly is something there for everyone, and I rarely leave their beautifully decorated space with the same combination of flavours twice - it's impossible to choose when everything tastes so delicious.

Aside from the always friendly service and smiling faces, you'll find some of the most unique cakes of Lincoln's High Street here as well! Their cabinets are always filled with a selection of indulgent cake or cookie slabs and more traditional bakes that make it hard to go for just one, but if you'd like a recommendation, you can never, ever go wrong with their carrot cakes. They're so moist and flavourful you wouldn't believe it! Good thing I know I don't have to choose one, because missing out on their cookie pies would be a crime. ;)

What more is there to say? There's never been a time I haven't left this little café with a smile, and I'll never stop being curious about what other ideas their creative bakers might come up with next. Thank you so much for making my...

I wanted to check this place out for a while after seeing their Instagram page and reading about it in a blog - when I visited the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. At first, I was thinking the prices may have been slightly expensive, but once I tried my vegan Oreo brookie, I would say it's definitely worth the price. I've been to other places who charge a lot of some desserts and they are nothing special, but this place is totally worth it! I'd definitely be coming back in the future, but I'd love to see more vegan options potentially. I'm not sure if there are more available once the shop fully opens after restrictions are lifted, but I saw there were vegan ice cream options, but couldn't see anymore vegan cakes etc, so having a few more options would be the only criticism I...
