Conservatory Coffee Shop

While wandering around Scarborough today, I spotted a board outside this coffee shop (it’s far more than that actually) detailing its “special breakfast“. I found it hard to believe that you could get what most places would call a large breakfast for just £4.90. The only caveat is that you also purchase a drink, which is no big deal. So I went in to try it. The place was quite busy and I noticed that almost everyone had ordered this “special breakfast“. I placed my order and paid (being surprised to find that they only take cash, so be warned!). Just 10 minutes later I was being presented with my meal and it was indeed exactly as described (see the photo). Everything was very tasty and hot – you can’t ask much more than that. Unusually for me, I ended up leaving quite a bit. I guess I find that a small breakfast suits me better these days. Note from my photos that there are two signs out front for this “special breakfast“ and they are slightly different. The one painted (somewhat permanently) on the window shows it including fries whereas the chalkboard has that changed to hash browns. They told me that this is a recent permanent change to the meal. As I mentioned, I’d consider this more than just a coffee shop as they do several main meals as well as the breakfasts. I checked out the loos and they are spotless, though they are on the lower floor with more seating and this is reached via a spiral staircase – which could be a problem for some people. Overall, I can’t recommend this place enough!

Absolutely amazing! 5* doesn't do it justice. The food was piping hot, service friendly and prices just brilliant. Was very clean also. Be aware it is cash only which we didn't mind as the prices were so reasonable! Will return on our next visit to scarborough.

Visited this coffee shop after reading a few reviews, not disappointed, Had a roast pork baguette, special breakfast, good quality breakfast with correct portions, friendly staff, will recommend it for visitors who are looking for good English breakfast, tried their mulled wine tea which was good too

I stopped by this coffee shop for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The place had a cozy vibe, with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. I ordered a cappuccino and an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich — both were delicious. The coffee was smooth and strong, just how I like it. The sandwich was fresh and filling. They had a good variety of breakfast options, including pastries and some healthier choices too. Prices were fair, and service was quick. Definitely a great spot to start the day. I’ll be back!

MENU SHOWN with prices. Our first visit. We are delighted to have found this little gem! Delicious full English breakfast. Tuna toastie, cake & coffee. PRICE was so reasonable and cheap Thank you I hope the pictures of our food show how excellent it was, tons of tuna mayo and thick bread, the best lemon cake I've tasted in ages xxx
