Café W
What used to be Ottaker’s in the High Street got taken over by Waterstone’s. It had a Costa, which has been replaced by Café W.
Ambience ok, nearly always empty apart from a few working on laptops or reading books scavenged from the book shelves.
Girl serving pleasant enough though not a clue on coffee. I have never ever seen anyone pour out of the side of a pouring jug. She did at least ask did I want chocolate.
My cappuccino undrinkable. Served piping hot and a very unpleasant bitter taste indicating rubbish coffee.
The coffee Mathew Algie catering supply. A skilled barista would be pushed to do anything with this rubbish.
Yes, excellent Waterstone’s have kicked out Costa, but if running your own coffee shop, at least buy in quality coffee, employ skilled baristas and buy a decent espresso machine and grinder. Otherwise why bother?
For excellent coffee in Lincoln try Coffee Aroma, Madame Waffle and Makushi.
