LINCOLN COFFEE HOUSE REVIEWS

Came in as I finally was in town the same time as it was open and was excited to try it. I had the berry smoothie and hummus and avocado bagel and both were really nice. The place is tiny so next time I'd get everything to go and sit in forbury gardens but the staff were lovely and would go again. One note was that the bagel was very peppery so just a warning if you're not a fan!

A great little find out of the CBD. Bonus - carpark outside. Seems a favourite with local office workers and I can see why. Limited seating but enough for a quick bite. Had the bacon & egg bagel and my man had cream cheese with added jam. Great easy to eat bagels - very tasty. Coffee good - being from NZ that’s high praise. Staff really friendly.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING COFFEE SHOP AND THE BAGELS ARE TO DIE FOR!! Friendly staff and owner. Would recommend again and again.

YAYLO REVIEWS

Fabulously gluten freeWhat a find! It’s such a treat to go to an atmospheric, clean, friendly cafe with amazing food and feel ‘normal’ rather than the one who has to have the packaged brownie. We had cheese and bacon bagels and flat whites, all absolutely delicious. Wonderful staff, fabulous food and all gluten free…… YAY! We’ll be back often now we know where you are.

Best experience.Visited Yaylo while in Reading specifically because it’s a Gluten Free only Cafe which meant my daughter who is coeliac could fully relax and enjoy her lunch.The staff were friendly and the food really good, the best scones served warm and delicious cakes and sandwiches, non of which you’d have thought were GF, they were so good.Lovely cafe which we will definitely be going back to when next in Reading.

Yaylo's online ordering is a breeze for my daily caffeine boost. In-store, the charming atmosphere enhances the exceptional quality of their beverages and delectable cakes. A perfect blend of convenience and delight.

GAIL'S BAKERY READING REVIEWS

I prefer this place of all for an early morning coffee and a good croissant or one of their bun-sandwiches. It’s a very peaceful place to be for a 7am coffee-n-breakfast. Plenty of space inside to sit and enjoy, few seats available outside as well.

I enjoyed the Americano here & had a delicious Christmas Roll, which us an expanded version of their famous Cinnamon Role! The place is spacious & staff are friendly! Right towards the end of Broad Street in Reading Center, it has everything you are looking for in a cup of joe! Have fun & enjoy the festive season.

Another fantastic experience at Gail's today! As always, the quality of the products was exceptional, and the customer service was top-notch. A big thank you to Samyk (hope I got the spelling right) for his kindness and outstanding service. I'll definitely be coming back.
