What Clients Are Saying Lincoln Coffee House | Kings Road (GG)
5 /5 Ramya: Great coffee, calm and comfortable space. Lovely staff. The chicken bagel ( polo Italiana) is a must 10/10. Highly recommend.
5 /5 Harleen Gondara: This cafe truly deserves the praise. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming - exactly the cosy vibe you look for when going to a cafe. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. It is evident that they truly care about the experience theyre creating. The food I ordered was delicious! From the smoothie to the oreo waffle, everything was neatly presented and tasted amazing. The bagels were also one of the best! Even if youre not a coffee lover, there are so many other options for you to choose from so I will highly recommend this place! 10/10 experience!!!
5 /5 Nailah Mukhtar: Update July 2025: Still a great little coffee house. Solid selection of bagels, great coffee and friendly staff. The smaller store is the perfect spot for a grabbing a bite to eat and the larger new location further down kings road has a lot more seating and some lovely waffles if you want something sweet.
5 /5 Michael Borrelli: Fantastic little gem at Twyford Rail Station. Brilliant coffee, consistently smooth and well balanced, with genuinely friendly staff who brighten every commute. Service is fast without feeling rushed, pastries are fresh, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Easily the best reason to arrive early or linger after trains every single day.
1 /5 Liam W: Travelling to Reading and researched this place was so excited to visit a decent coffee shop that sold Bagels. I got my order to takeaway. I took one bite of the Bagel and instantly felt sick. Tasted horrible, bacon was so undercooked it was almost raw. I put it straight in the bin after only one bite. Coffee wasn’t great either.
I went to McDonalds after and had much better experience.
Sorry guys, didn’t live up to the expectations!
dean rushton Went for the first time on 17th for a friends 40th .Had an amazing time, staff couldnt do enough for us. Kelly was amazing keeping the drinks flowing.
Sandie-Roy Gastardo Me and a few co-workers decided to have lunch here together. Its always a good experience to cook some Korean bbq and this place didnt disappoint. The meat was seasoned well so it tasted great. There isnt much space in their restaurant, but their staff was quite helpful with making space for everything we ordered.
Laetitia Lemoine Very busy with place but it is by far the best café in Reading. Homemade food, lovely coffee. I had a Tuna Turner with a pot of tea (Photo) and a decaf latte and a cinnamon bun for pudding. This is going to be my go-to café. I have taken some friends today with me and they have loved it. They want to go back too!!
Kevin Wan Chinese owned restaurant. Happy to have found a hotpot place here while visiting from oxford for the day.
I think this place could make a lot of improvements if they wanted to, but overall its pretty good.
Here are some tips for the owner that I think could help them get more volume of customers:
Focus on just a few good dishes for the non-hotpot stuff.
focus mainly on hotpot but giving lower priced meats instead of the high quality stuff. People want good volume of meat for a low price these days. They dont care much for the chinese veggies and delicacies. Being meat focused will help you keep ur meat fresh which will keep customers coming back. Low priced, fresh meat and they will order more. Maybe have smaller plate sizings so they can order in smaller increments. This will help a lot. $20 per dish is too high. $4.99 per dish and they will instead order 5 dishes if they need it.
volume.
good luck
B Lau After our run, we enjoyed a fantastic meal here. The warmth and energy from the food felt just right. The authentic Nepalese cuisine was delightful — we especially loved the curry, which was refreshing, full of flavor, and not oily at all. A truly satisfying experience.
Gayathri Gopal I had a wonderful experience at Botanist Reading. The ambience was amazing and the food was really good – the lamb kebab, in particular, was excellent. A special mention to Vivianne, who was very attentive and explained everything in detail, making the experience even better. Great service overall!
5 stars for sure!
