That's a wrap on Lincoln's fantastic 1940s Weekend! 🇬🇧☕✨
What an incredible weekend it's been. You've kept us busy from the moment we opened until we closed, and every single one of you has been so friendly, patient and supportive. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake, and to all those who made the weekend so special with your amazing 1940s outfits and brilliant atmosphere.
Now it's time for us to roll up our sleeves once again! This evening will be spent prepping, baking and getting everything ready so we can do it all again for the new week.
Thank you for your continued support of our little independent coffee shop. We can't wait to welcome you back soon!
Much love Tracy, Vikki and the CBTA Team xx❤️☕

☀️ Early Closing Today – Friday 10th July ☀️
Due to the extreme temperatures and how much our team struggled during yesterday afternoon's close-down, we've made the decision to close at 2:00pm today.
To help keep the café as cool as possible, our kitchen will stop serving food at 1:30pm, allowing us to switch the very hot oven off earlier.
We'll still be open from 8:00am, serving all your usual favourites, so pop in early for your coffee, breakfast or lunch.
We know this may disappoint some customers, but the welfare of our team has to come first. Thank you, as always, for your understanding and support. ❤️
Stay cool and take care, The Coffee by the Arch Team ☕

We still don’t truly know how much difference our little push and everyone’s support made, but what we do know is that the love shown for Lincoln was amazing. Every like, share and message helped put our city in the conversation.
A huge thank you to everyone who got behind it and helped show just how much this means to Lincoln. 💙

Can you help us get Lincoln on the map? 🚴☕
This photo shows last year's Tour of Britain route map. Imagine seeing Lincoln right there as the starting point of the opening stage on Wednesday 2nd September, with the finish line in the historic area of Newport in uphill Lincoln.
For our city, this would be a huge privilege, but there is a chance Lincolnshire County Council could block it despite the event raising £40 million for its venues last year.
This event would bring National TV coverage, professional cyclists, support teams, media crews and visitors from across the UK – and potentially around the world – all descending on Lincoln to see what we have to offer.
For independent businesses like ours, a major event on a midweek day in September could be transformational. Hotels filled, coffee shops buzzing, restaurants thriving and Lincoln showcased across national news channels. Maybe even Peter Levy - Look North would stop by for a coffee!
As a family run coffee shop in a beautiful area with many independent businesses that rely on visitors and tourism, it's difficult for us to understand the argument that an event of this scale wouldn't benefit the city. We see every day how important visitors are to local businesses, and opportunities to showcase Lincoln don't come around often.
We're not interested in political point-scoring. We simply want to see Lincoln given the chance to shine. Whatever your political views, surely we can all agree that bringing positive attention, visitors and investment to our city is a good thing.
If you'd like to see the Tour of Britain come to Lincoln, please make your views known to your local councillors and decision-makers.
Let's get Lincoln on the map. 🚴❤️
