Rising Cafe

Lovely find whilst visiting Lincoln for a concert. Offered a range of food for all tastes. Food I ordered was great, fresh and well presented. Plus vegan and gluten free which can be difficult to find. Wait for food was a little too long but worth it in the end. Lovely staff, polite and helpful. Great cause with the profits supporting people in some very challenging times. Well worth a visit and seems a popular place.

Found this cafe on Google Maps searching for gluten free options and I was so glad we did. My gluten free bread with smashed avocado was lush. Coffee was so good. Sweet potato fries 💯and my husband enjoyed his hot dog too. Staff were lovely, couldn’t do enough for us. Reasonable price too, and great vibe. Will be back. 💖

Food is not gluten free! Even though we ordered gluten free menu items, and stressed when ordering that one of the party has Coeliac Disease (severe gluten allergy), the Korean fried chicken was prepared with normal soy sauce which clearly stated that it contained gluten (as shown to us by the apologetic server). This was apparently a mistake by the chef and although the server was very apologetic and comped our meal, this is not acceptable. We understand there is always a risk of cross-contamination in any restaurant, however using an ingredient that is clearly marked as containing gluten in dishes that are marked as gluten free on their menu is negligent.
