Outstanding! Loved it here at this convivial and quirky café, very much my sort of place. Colourful. Hippyish. BoHo and a great vibe with good music and singing kitchen staff thrown in for good measure! I had some very reasonably priced and delicious mushrooms on gorgeous, tasty toast (local suppliers). I had a hot chocolate and though my eyes were in danger of being bigger than my stomach, (so that's a stretch, ha ha) I HAD to succumb to a scone. You will too, I assure you. It was so huge that I wasn't even 100% sure it even was a scone at first. Massive, triangular slab. And....oh my..... I have to say... the last time I tasted a scone of such magnificent taste as this was when eating one of my mom's scones - and she was a great cook. This tasted just like one of hers. Melt in the mouth and juicy, they nailed the taste and, as they say in advertising, mouth-feel. Nommm flippin nommm! Cor, I'd go back here for a scone like that every time! Come on, bikers, you'd love it here!! Place is a bit on the bijou side and very, very popular so, unsurprisingly, folk don't always get a table. I got there purposefully earlier in the day. Sooooo highly recommended. Oh yummy!!! Ahh, and staff were just lovely too, win win,...
Read moreJust finished my second breakfast in this charming boho establishment - I wished I lived around the corner.
As advertised in the "Whitby foghorn" my doorstep fish finger sandwich went down very well with both me, but more importantly also the missus. I was only slightly disappointed that I couldn't have my first choice, the Yorkshire rarebit.
However, chalked on the bottom of the board this morning was rarebit (leaving out the Yorkshire) so we ventured in and ordered.
We were not disappointed! A truly delightful double cheese rarebit, masterly toasted under a hot grill to perfection , sneakily enhanced with enough brown sauce under the cheese to enhance, but not over dominate the simplicity of the meal.
All washed down with a pot of real coffee.
This is set with a background of an eclectic mixture of music, occasionally accompanied by the talented chef with his dulcet vocal tones emanating from the kitchen.
This humble establishment is second to none and even though it missed the Yorkshire on the blackboard outside there was triple Yorkshire hospitality inside, well worth a...
Read moreFab, quirky and very friendly little place to sit with a cup of tea and watch life in Robin Hood's bay.
The owner (I assume) was on her own so the menu was reduced from normal, but still enough to choose from and catering for vegetarians too.
My friend had a scone with cream and jam, and bacon sandwich which, he was jokingly warned, would be quite large (I think they were marketed as 'doorstop' outside), and he wasn't disappointed! This meant I was selflessly forced to eat half his scone to help him finish it all. We also had a pot of Yorkshire tea for two.
The welcome was warm, service very good, food lovely and an excellent view was had from the bench along the window. Would definitely return, esp for the full menu which, judging by the reduced menu, would be...
