Lovely and kind place to have a brunch. My wife and I had the Tacos and pokebowl with side of fries and coffee. Its a cozy spot with pleasant staff who are very friendly and welcoming. The chef was kind enough to explain the meal prep and offered to even make the fish not beer-battered. The tacos were filling and we enjoyed the pokebowl. The side of fries was quite delicious, plenty and we appreciate the side of sauces. A very good spot for brunch indeed with healthy items to indulge. Many thanks
This little independent coffee shop is an absolute gem. The coffee is excellent, and their flat white is one of the best I’ve had—smooth, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. The real highlight, though, is the homemade cake. Fresh, generous, and full of flavour, it’s the kind of baking that will keep you coming back A cosy spot with great quality and genuine passion behind everything they serve. Thank you for the lemon cake, it will be enjoyed back home in Leeds.
Super cute little restaurant with a lovely Hawaiian vibe – incredibly friendly and attentive service, and absolutely delicious vegan as well as pescatarian dishes. The cakes and tarts are a real highlight, with a wide vegan selection! A peaceful retreat away from the crowded tourist promenade – a true hidden gem! Would happily come back any time! 💛
Absolute gem of a place! Delicious, fresh food with great flavours and beautifully presented. We loved playing the games with the kids while we had our lunch in a super cosy, quirky and cool interior. Great service- couldn't be friendlier or more helpful and lovely. Menu for the kids and we loved the cakes and desserts. Wow.
Love this place. It's really cute, the owners are friendly and the food is delicious. We've been twice in the space of just a few days and would be regulars if we lived in Scarborough. I've had tacos both times and my husband's had a Buddha bowl. The coffee is good, the cakes are good, there's plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and it's dog-friendly too. What more could you ask?
