The best cafe with the best view in Scarborough. The tray bakes are all delicious as are the scones, cheese or fruit, and they even serve Rooibos/ Redbush tea !
First visit to the clock cafe, and it was a memorable moment, good food at a reasonable price, great cuppa tea...its dog friendly and to top it all a great view of Scarborough....will definitely be back there.
Jayne & I were home in Scarborough yesterday.
Wr went along to where the land has slipped again and, yes, it’s a real shame that Mother Nature has decided to steal the lovely chalets.
I’m certain nobody wanted this but she’s a ******* and will, I’m sure, try for more in later years.
Whoever’s in charge though needs to do all in their power to protect the Clock Cafe to the best of their ability. This place is an iconic landmark of Scarborough, fantastically run by dedicated Scarborians which we all must protect.
Love this place and the food is really nice every time we come to Scarborough (which is quite often!) we come here with our pooch lovely place
We really love the Clock Cafe the staff are friendly the food is good and reasonably priced ,and the view from the cafe is the best view of the South Bay
Always make a point of visiting here as the food is lovely and the view of Scarborough is amazing.
I adore this place the staff are lovely don't mind my two old pooches padding around and the food well just amazing with the arguably the worlds best view
Lovely place, stunning views, friendly staff and service, fabulous food and the scones are yummy.. I love taking my dog down for a walk and stopping at the clock cafe.. A***
Beautiful spot for a truly English scone and amazing view of the comings and goings of the Scarborough seaside! One of my favourite things on my recent holiday! Friendly staff and patrons who obviously love their Scarborough home. ❤️From a 🇨🇦Visitor. I'll be back !
Exceptional view of the south bay. We were lucky to be able to sit out in the sun in October without jackets. Very reasonably priced breakfast (veggie too) and away from rabble of the arcades, overlooking the spa.
Great coffee, Great view & Great cream scones!! Well worth a visit.
Beautiful views excellent location Scones butter and jam were beautiful and quite big lovely with a pot of tea 😀Went there on our last day Monday lovely walks on the beach we got some good pics 😊
This cafe has one of the best views in Scarborough to sit and look at the sea.
It's up a slight hill and steps but easy enough to get to.
Loads of seating outside over looking the beach. Food is simple but effective at a reasonable price. We stopped for bacon butties and coffee which were fine but the drinks could have been hotter.
The cakes and scones looked great though.
In June 2023 only accepting cash payments so be aware of this before visiting.
Fantastic food and unbelievable views. A beautiful out of the way Cafe/ restaurant with friendly staff. Recommended.
Nice little Cafe with beautiful view of Scarborough city beach ⛱️. I enjoyed the ham brie panini here 🤤
Lovely place to go to, to get out of the hustle and bustle. Sit and relax with a cuppa and take in the views. Plenty of options for what to eat. Give it a go.
Great location near the Italian Garden South Cliff Scarborough. Wide selection of food on the menu and great specials. Order at the counter, and the food is delivered to the table. We had a great table outside with a fantastic view of the bay, beach, and harbour. Helpful friendly staff, note it was Cash Only when we visited - a novelty these days.
It’s certainly a throwback, but a genuine treat because of it. The views are outstanding and the place is a real pleasant vibe.
Feels like not much has changed here since the eighties; the brews are proper, the tray bakes and cakes are a perfect accompaniment.
Worth the trip and close to the Italian gardens, which are a dead nice place for a stroll.
Like plenty of others have mentioned, remember to bring cash.
Perfect full English breakfast. Gorgeous hasbrowns, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, beans and black pudding. Washed down with a milky coffee, while watching the waves. Best place I've ever eaten breakfast In.
What a find.! Loved this place traditional coffee bar with reasonable prices and good hearty food. A GOOD! pot of tea in a pot with extra hot water the way tea should be served. Food was great with plenty of choices of sauces. I had A lamb burger chips served with side salad and mint sauce. Really enjoyed that. Staff were lovely attentive and quick. Lovely view over South bay and the old castle wall. The walk back past the spa has lots of interesting things to see
Stopped for lunch. Was able to do a balance transfer as I don’t carry cash any more. Very friendly staff. Service was fast. The food was very good.
Wonderfully old fashioned place to while away the time with a pot of tea and look at the fabulous sea view
Nice spot to stop for refreshments. Service was very friendly, but it was incredibly busy, so I queued for about 20 minutes for a couple of bottles of water and a slice of cake! The millionaires shortbread was excellent, though. I'd go back again. Had to pay by bank transfer as they don't take card payments. Easy enough to do, though
I have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed by the food. The service is friendly however there is always a big queue. The only menu is above the counter, which can be a bit awkward to read if you have trouble seeing. It would be nice to have individual menus on each table as well. The clock on top of the clock cafe needs a good clean as it is very dirty and you can barely tell the time from it.
Apart from these things the cafe is a great place to eat with beautiful views of Scarborough's south bay.
Location is stunning. I could sit outside for hours on end, admiring the view and feeling the sun / wind on my face. Super value and wonderfully straight forward food. There's often no food in the world that's as satisfying as a pot of tea, egg and chips and a big slice of coffee & walnut cake. It's a step back to 1977 and perfectly retained in every way - dandelion & burdock and breakaway biscuits still reign supreme, there's no need for Innocent smoothies and granola bars in here. A cafe to rival the best from Sydney to Stockholm. (Amazing value too).
Haven’t been here for 5 years but thought I would give it another go. Pleased I did as the menu has grown massively, the staff are really nice & helpful & the prices are fantastic! For £10.25 I had tuna salad sandwich with coleslaw & crisps, scone with jam & cream & a pot of tea. Great views over South Bay & the only thing I would say is the netting on the windows could do with taking down so you can make the most of the view when sitting inside. Highly recommended.
A little gem. The place in Scarborough to relax for a while and enjoy the views over the beach and harbour whilst enjoying a pot of tea and their excellent homemade cakes and scones.They also do breakfasts and light lunches made when ordered. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Recommended.
Perfect little cafe with friendly staff. Lots of choice for delicious drinks and food. Lovely view over Scarborough.
Please remember to bring cash.
Excellent cafe with very nice food ether full meals or light bites
Very large pot of tea with extra water and the views are excellent looking over the bay and harbour
The Clock Cafe has THE BEST view imaginable. Delightful afternoon teas and quaint china cups, but there is nothing quaint about the portions - they serve proper Yorkshire farmhouse portions! They give fantastic value for money - we shared one as we hadn't gone there purposefully for afternoon tea but couldn't resist. We still brought a scone home as couldn't finish it. The homemade cakes and treats are gorgeous.
I didn't have a lot of cash as it wasn't a planned visit, but you can arrange to pay by bank transfer, they don't have a card machine as it is such a patchy signal area, and even though it did look as though my bank payment had gone through, it has disappeared and I looked like I did a runner - the very understanding team requested contact numbers when paying by bank transfer and they messaged me to explain that the signal maybe affected my transaction. Oh well....we will just have to pop down to settle up....and sample the breakfasts next time, perfect excuse :)
