Beach Cafe in Scarborough

Fantastic location, fantastic views and great food.

Traditional type Cafe overlooking the sea. The staff are always really kind.

Great cafe with friendly staff and sea views

What a lovely spot on a sunny morning. Food was hot and tasty and good value. We would recommend. Great for dog walkers.

We've lived in Scarborough many years now, but last week we discovered this lovely little cafe at Hunmanby Gap. It offers a range of nice food served by friendly staff and has outside seating at various levels, offering magnificent views over the sea and towards Bempton cliffs.

Great grub and really reasonably priced.

Fantastic cafe perched on the cliff ended at hunmandy gap .great food , large portions and a view down the beach and out to sea .*****

Great value full English with a view! The cafe was busy but still managed to cook our breakfasts in a short time. So good to be offered fried bread (I know I shouldn't eat it but it barely once a year).

Closed when we arrived just before 5pm on a Thursday. Was hoping for a hot chocolate and a snack. Disappointing but understandable given the time of year (mid October)

Great stop off point at the end of our family walk along Filey beach. Sitting outside with a stunning view over the bay whilst enjoying a cheese toastie and a hot cup of sea - unbeatable!

Fantastic views & fab food we loved it x

Views are amazing. Great for a bacon butty, but u have to sit outside which fine as long as u know. One of our regular places.

Arrived at car park, attendant very nice, had to pay to park car, went down to beach with our dog which was very steep. Had a lovely walk along the beach and decided to have a coffee in the cafe. Big mistake! Found a seat as my husband had just had an operation and had a stick and settled the dog. Waited at the side window and staff walked in and out and about 4 staff were inside and not 1 of them said a word that I was waiting to be served in the wrong place and no sign to say no service. I then went to the front window and was last in the queue that had formed, eventually I was served. Asked for 2 coffees with not much milk. Our order was shouted that it was ready from the side window, very milky and if there was any coffee in it you couldn't tell tasted like milky water! Won't be going back.

Lovely little cafe with outside seating. Halfway from car park to the beach at Hunmanby Gap

Have been before but only for tea. Had full English yesterday and thoughly enjoyed it all after a good walk on the beach with the dogs who really enjoyed the sausages. It was very busy but the staff were very friendly and efficient, the food delicious and served fresh and hot,. Definitely be back

Excellent breakfast with a view. Due to no signal we couldn't pay by card but we were a large group of 11 and the very helpful and friendly staff allowed us to transfer the money so we could eat! The food and drinks were amazing and very good value for money!! Thank you will be back

We went on a brisk September day. Car park attendant had issues with my campervan cos it might sink into a soggy grass car park. Very helpful and looked for solutions. We did get parked. The cafe was quite busy but service prompt enough. Would go back but would avoid in popular summer periods as access must be a nightmare. Smashing sandy beach. Just a bit of a steep hill down (and back up) but well paved till the beach.

Have been visiting the beach cafe for some years ,and we are from Lancashire and know good food and very friendly staff when we see it ,to all the ones that have left low feedback ,you should get a life ,this is a beach cafe that has been there some time so it most be good ,all home-made fresh food so yes you have to wait for it to be cooked, and yes you have to line up to order, but that just shows how good it is ,good food is worth waiting for ,if you go to the magpie chip shop at whitby you line up on the street for a long time just to get in to eat average fish and chips that you pay lots for ,just because it is a famous owner , but the beach cafe has more to offer and top class food ,it is a beach cafe that has won awards from a Lancashire food academy, and the don't give them to every one ,I myself think it is the perfect place to go for breakfast on the beach, so thank-you to all the staff for good food and friendly service

Will be back, when less windy to enjoy a lunch, shame they did not have toilet facilities, but the car park did, up the steep hill.

I had my afternoon latte coffee here everyday whilst on holiday xx lovely

Classic, unpretentious seaside caff with really friendly staff and fantastic views along the coast. Don't bother asking for a salted caramel skinny soy milk frappuccino, but if a mug of tea or coffee with a butty, a sausage roll or a slice of cake after a blowy walk along the beach is your thing, then this is just the place for you.

Beautiful find , at hunanby Gap

A fabulous place lovely staff great service and the view is amazing. Didn't have food but the tea and coffee are good . Worth going just for the view

Wonderful white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake worth a visit.

Excellent but only instant coffee. But the food and views make up for it

Definitely worth a visit if your walking along this coast, warm welcome, great coffee too!

It's an absolute gem of a place.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, nice crispy chips. Bacon / sausage sandwiches were great the first day we visited when it was just 2 of us but not as good the next day when we were there earlier on and buying for the whole gang (6) so that was a shame. Its very reasonably priced.

Lovely english breakfast in the most beautiful position over looking the beach and sea

Perfect bacon butties with a fantastic view over Filey Bay. Very reasonable prices too and friendly, efficient service. A 55 minute walk (each way) along the beach from Filey meant we enjoyed our food without feeling (too) guilty 😄

Lovely outdoor cafe, been a few times and always great service and good food, lovely friendly staff. Seen a review on here from a very sad lady giving zero stars yet has been more than once if your not happy love just don’t go back. It is a self service and is very clear before you even get to the cafe it is outdoors. Fantastic views of the sea perfect spot, keep doing what your doing lovely ladies we enjoy our visits each time X

Great place for breakfasts,  lovely views. One afternoon we got there at 16:14 with four staff having a natter in the back and one cleaning up and after watching us look at the menu waited until we wanted to order before they said they're only doing teacakes and tea now. Pretty sure if the five of them really wanted to one of them could've rustled us up some food, all day breakfast doesn't say until 4pm and nowhere on the menu does it say we only do two items after 4pm. As a hungry family who were looking forward to some tasty food, we were deeply disappointed and went for a pub tea instead. Clearly, they couldn't be bothered, shouldn't you be trying to accommodate every customer and be grateful for the custom. Anyway, no hard feelings as we went back the next day for breakfast and will probably visit again as the food can be quite nice and the outdoor seating can't be beat for views, maybe next time a sign at the top of the hill saying we're not serving the full menu now would be helpful as we paid for parking, walked down the steep hill only to have to walk back up again hungry.

Great place for a breakfast before beach walk to Filey and back nice staff and food

Great food, ok priced and absolutely beautiful views of the coast. The staff are lovely!

Fantastic views with great food, real value for money

Friendly staff very helpful fully recommend them

Had a beach day stopped here for lunch very nice even the dogs liked the doggy sausage

Lovely cafe next to the beach and the food is delicious there is seating outside the staff are friendly to there are toilets nearby you have to give 20p to get in

Staff not very welcoming. Breakfast was served cold. Plenty of seating on two levels overlooking the sea. Pity the breakfast was cold 😞

Sweet views ,friendly service nice food

Friendly staff in a great location. Fast service. Well worth a sit down with a cuppa.

Situated between the Primrose Rose holiday park, and reighton sands. Excellent small Beach Cafe. Outdoor seating and clean, fantastic views from all tables, looking out to Sea situated only 300 yards from the beach with lots of greenery between the cafe and the beach. Safe foot paths uphill to the cafe, but easily managed. Dogs are allowed at the cafe. One of the must haves is one of the delectable cheesecake,s. Various flavours and fruits, they are a do not miss!! All you would require for a cooked breakfast or hot and cold sandwiches. This cafe is a must not miss.

Lovely little beach cafe at a superb location. We enjoyed our lunch very much indeed. The sandy beach, which is dog friendly, is huge. Accessible private car park (£1 an hour) a few minutes' walk up a steep hill with an equally steep walk down to the beach. It's a really beautiful, unspoiled place.

good size of breakfast good price..

Been here several times each year for the past three years. Great little outdoor cafe. Dogs welcome. Great views of the beach from several different platforms. Staff pleasant every visit! Simple ordering system, decent menu list, prices average. Only downside is that the toilet is in the nearby car park (take a 20p coin with you!). Never had a bad service here!

Lovely cafe just neat the beach, good prices and food.

Very convenient location and good outdoor seating (apart from the tables that seemed to be covered in a sticky substance with flys stuck all over it!) Good choice of food but it was only OK, could be better quality but then it was cheap so get what you pay for I guess. Collect your own food from the serving hatch but that's ok, just unusual.

Lovely cafe just neat the beach, good prices and food.

lovely food, but the service that goes with it unfortunately ruins the experience. was abruptly approached and made to feel like an inconvenience.

Lovely beach cafe with amazing views

Visited today for the 1st time and it was good stunning views really quick service

Staff rude , chaotic no system wrong orders and missed orders, no aplogies from surly staff. Been here several times always the same

Amazing little place and fantastic food just make sure you take cash! The amount of times I’ve driven from Scarborough to get some lunch and then told no card payments today is a bit silly. So yeah mint place with delicious toasties but take cash to avoid mega disappointment :)

Had a sausage sandwich and cuppa for breakfast. Views are incredible and worth the walk up.

Stopped for a brew and a piece of cake after a walk along the beach. Lovely cup of tea and a piece of Bakewell slice, absolutely cracking little place.

Excellent cafe for breakfast. Look at the view!

Lovely ladies in this wonderful little place. Breakfast brilliant. Just what you need after walking back from beach 🏖

Terrific little café with ample seating in a sort of terraced arrangement overlooking Filey beach. A great spot.

A lovely place to sit and admire the views whilst enjoying some nice food and a drink

The food isn't great here and most of the crockery is cracked and a little dirty But the location is great

Convenient from the beach but could do with some shade.

We stopped this morning at the cafe for breakfast, it was lovely and great value for money, friendly staff ,they even have sausages for the dog! Lovely location .

Brilliant breakfast in a box, extremely well done and presented, everything you would want. We had a take out breakfast we loved it

Outdoor tables only, lovely food well priced, good quality bacon, really enjoyed our breakfast, fried bread was an absolute treat

If you want a lovely view while you enjoy a cuppa, then this is the place for you! We didn't have anything to eat so can't comment on the quality of the food.

We are regulars here when in the area . Lovely setting . Great views of Filey Bay. Fast and efficient service . Friendly staff . No messing tasty food. Ideal for a cup of tea and a full English after a walk on the beach. The cakes are also delicious and change regularly. Outside seating only . Dog friendly. Dog sausage is a must for 50p- “our Milly” won’t let us go there without her dog sausage . Gets really busy but there’s loads of tables so even if full you’ll soon get a seat . Love it !

Good quality. Great value. And friendly service even though it was a Bovril and Hot Chocolate kind of day! The views are always stunning.

Friendly staff good service would recommend

Lovely place for tea and snacks after a walk along the beach

What a beautiful setting. We had just walked from Speeton to Humamby Gap and were ready for a coffee. The beach cafe was just the perfect spot for this. Great views, good and friendly service and very dog friendly with bowls of water provided. No toilet so you have to pay 20p to use the portaloo in the car park.

We often visit this cafe and have no complaints, such a beautiful place to eat with great views. We had two toasted sandwiches which were very nice and a mug of tea which was £1.50 which is great value.

Lovely tea and bacon butty on our walk from Filey.🙂

Sadly disappointed with the service and lack of customer service now. Used to be second to none with ordering inside, food brought to your table as some of the stairs are hard to navigate for some even without hands full and tables cleared. Sadly today waited 35mins in the queue to order a sandwich and chips took an hour and 20mins to get it when it wasn't that busy. Shouted like a greasy cafe to pick it up from the door and told to bring back dirty pots. No customer service anymore and average food won't be rushing back 😒

Bit busy ,but got a table lovely sausage bap and cake saw a breakfast come out looked nice.perfect little stop as your walking along the beach will be back

Basic beach cafe in great location overlooking the beach.

The food and service here is brilliant. Access to the beach is perfect. The outside seating area is also dog friendly.

This used to be one of our favourites walking up the beach from filey for a cuppa. They have spent some money on fancy decking, more tables and ships rope barriers. We walked up recently in torrential rain and 50mph wind to find there was no covered area outside the cafe anymore? We were told we couldnt go in the cafe anymore and the nice seating down the side of the cafe had been removed? We were soaked but sat down on one of the wet benches and watched 2 women walk into the cafe through the entrance door!!! Bloody charming! A grand yorkshire welcome! The cafe still gets 3* for its location but wont be going again. A shame after visiting here for many many years. Its probably been taken over by some southerners! What a shame. Spend your money on some outside areas that are covered! Why spoil something that was so nice and welcoming?

Excellent location and amazing view. Food is excellent and generous portions, but be careful with timing of lunch as they may run out near closing time due to high demand on busy days. There's a minimum for card payments so make sure to have some cash in pocket if you just need an ice lolly :) Very nice and friendly staff, great menu and superb location.

A lovely place to stay and eat staff friendly and helpful.

Delicious food. Excellent Service. Stunning views over the Estuary. Reasonably priced. Just perfect!

Service was a little disjointed but polite staff & good food

Excellent meal! Fantastic service staff so friendly and helpful. Food unbelievably tasty- a great choice on the menu, in particular the specials. We’ll be back.

The location of the restaurant is wonderful, right on the beach at South Sands. The menu is interesting with a good and varied choice of food, some with an eastern twist. However all our dishes lacked flavour. The Sri Lankan monkfish curry was bland and uninteresting and the accompanying roti were undercooked. The chilli crab linguine needed salt, pepper and a good dash of chilli oil to make it even mildly flavoursome. In summary, the menu and basics are good but the chef needs to be bolder with flavour.

A most delicious lunch. A varied choice and delicious flavours. Pork belly was one choice which had beautifully tender meat - melted in the mouth! The Indian influence with the monkfish curry was outstanding so would definitely recommend this place to others.

Great food but really noisy restaurant, partially due to the flooring

Exuberante prices for decidedly average pub grub. Very disappointing. Location is fabulous and the staff are excellent.

Great position but was closed when I visited.

Have used this restaurant and hotel many times and we always look forward to our visits

Excellent Sunday lunch in a busy buzzing restaurant

Lovely location right on the beach. Even though the weather was bad there was plenty to keep us entertained. Food was very good and nicely presented. All in all we had a lovely time and found a new place to visit!

Have eaten here many times but unfortunately the main courses were disappointing The service was slow due to a large table being served which wasn’t the staffs fault Look forward to a better experience next time as it’s usually a great seaside restaurant

Another excellent visit to South Sands. Excellent service, gorgeous food and amazing views. We had mussels, club sandwich and BLT - generous portions and really tasty.

Friendly staff, simple food. Stunning views over the beach. Outside seating only so bit weather dependant

Really enjoyed the meal and especially the open fire, would definitely return

We had seafood starters and mains. It was all delicious, good sized portions, excellent choice on the menu, excellent service.

The food was very good as was the service Unfortunately we were sat next to a large group of young men who were very loudly talking and laughing/ shouting, We asked to be moved and there was no space The noise levels almost spoilt our evening out ,

I love this place and the view is incredible. However, when I booked it over the phone I asked how much the roast lunch was and I was told £22 but when we were handed the menus upon arrival we were told the roast was £28. I know everything has gone up but that’s gone up 50% since last time. Disappointed as we were looking forward to their lovely roast for my birthday. I chose a burger instead! Our server was very good.

Food and drink was exceptional. Half choose from the menu and half had the specials.

Great cafe for snack after beach walkies with our doggie frankie

A perfect beach Cafe. The food was served quickly and the staff were very friendly.
