The Laceby Teapot
About This Spot
Stepping into The Laceby Teapot feels like slipping into a gentle embrace of village charm and understated warmth. Nestled on High Street, this café carries the quiet rhythm of a close-knit community, where time slows just enough to savor the small, thoughtful moments. The atmosphere is inviting but unpretentious—a friendly spot where familiar faces and new visitors mingle over steaming cups and simple, honest fare.
As a tea house with the heart of a neighborhood café, The Laceby Teapot effortlessly balances a cozy intimacy with a lively buzz that gathers quickly throughout the day. Whether arriving early for a comforting English Breakfast or drifting in later for a slice of cheesecake paired with a carefully brewed coffee, there’s a soothing steadiness in the background hum of conversations and the clink of porcelain cups.
The experience here is richly tactile and quietly comforting. Plates arrive with a generous, homemade feeling, inviting you to settle in for a moment of calm amid life’s bustle. There’s a sense of care in every detail—from delicate afternoon teas in the holiday season to warm, fresh pastries and hearty toasties that warmly punctuate time spent at the window or the corner table.
Behind the counter, the friendly service feels genuine, reflecting the slow-paced ease of village life even as the café fills steadily. It’s the kind of place where a newcomer’s simple breakfast or a midday panini feels like a personal invitation to pause, reflect, and savour. The staff’s gentle attentiveness carries the pulse of a community spot, touched with the charm of discovering something quietly special.
In a world that often rushes, The Laceby Teapot invites you to reconnect with the pleasures found in good company, comforting food, and thoughtfully brewed tea—a humble haven where the everyday becomes a little more memorable.

Small breakfast, very nice - hot & tasty. Opens for breakfast at 9am. Also do fantastic cheesecakes and cakes - maybe not for breakfast, but you can take away for later!

Beautiful clean and friendly cafe. Food is very good and fresh. Amazing cakes and good selection on their menu satisfying every taste, even vegetarian options. Nice tasty tea and coffee. Wifi available for the customers also. Wide selection of the coffee syrups, etc. Cannot recommend enough. This is real must try place.

During my visit to England I was given the opportunity to dine in a proper English Tea Room, The Little Teapot. The service was on par with the quality of the offers, absolutely brilliant!

Lovely little cafe... gets busy quickly so booking advised.. the young girl who was serving was lovely.... got the impression she was new... we mainly ordered a large Cooked breakfast, one with poached and one with scrambled egg.... the young girl was still making the drinks and the food started piling up.... all while the tables started filling up.... the scrambled egg appeared to have been microwaved and the beans.. everything else tasted lovely.... I just felt that if the ladies cooking could have supported by helping to bring the food out or offering the girl doing coffees then it may have run a bit smoother.... the cheesecakes I'm told are lovely.... we took 2 to takeaway :) xx

So glad we discovered this spot on a very recent visit (this weekend) to Laceby. What a little gem. We were so happy to find this! The decor was perfect and created a homely feel... we absolutely loved that they were selling independent goods that looked homemade around the cafe... so lovely! The staff were so friendly and lovely and the food was great. Thank you Laceby Teapot!

Fantastic visit to a hidden gem in Lincolnshire. All food was made fresh on site and it was a pleasure to have found this place.

As I wanted to treat my sister for her birthday i decided upon the Laceby Teapot having scoured the internet and read their excellent reviews. From the moment we walked in there was a lovely bright, cosy amosphere and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The afternoon tea, soup and scone were delicious and all freshly presented on attractive tableware. The place soon filled up and I could see why. There was free parking nearby and we were allowed to enjoy our afternoon together without any time restrictions. I will be recommending this 'gem'. of a tearoom.
