Nestled next to the Rotunda Museum, this quirky café offers a vibrant culinary experience with a focus on gluten-free options and outdoor seating that captures the charm of Scarborough’s scenery. While many patrons praise the welcoming staff and delightful meals, consistent service issues have surfaced, notably related to inaccuracies in orders and inadequate attentiveness. Diners have expressed frustration over misunderstandings and improper handling of dietary requests. Despite these setbacks, the café’s inviting atmosphere, delicious homemade soups, and artistic touches make it a worthy stop for locals and tourists alike—provided they manage expectations regarding service consistency.

Good for a tea and a toastie when it's warm enough to sit outside. Friendly staff too.

Great for gluten free options, especially cakes.

I'm sorry, but they only accept cash. This means we weren't able to try the coffee.
