Battery Parade Cafe in Scarborough

Finding somewhere to eat in Whitby without being attacked by gulls is difficult. We spotted this cafe and were very impressed. Good choice of meals and drinks, good prices and quick friendly service. We sat inside which is spacious and clean but could still see the pier and sea. Will definitely be returning there in our next visit.

Sadly this was one of the worst breakfasts I have ever had served to me The sausages were cheap, synthetic tasting, the bacon extremely salty & the hash brown tasted like it had been deep fried in old oil. The toast and marmalade was very nice as was the coffee and the view, sadly the rest was not

We have visited this little cafe on the front at Whitby many times over at least 36 years and it never lets us down There is plenty of seating inside and out The food is lovely and good value for money Would definitely recommend

Autistic unfriendly experience There was zero understanding, patience and tolerance when my autistic son became overwhelmed due to a loud funfair ride outside, and tried to close the doors to reduce the noise. He was wearing an autistic badge highlighting his autism and asking people to be patient, to help people around us be aware if he became overwhelmed. The food was very good. I hope the staff can have some training to improve the experience for other autistic people/other people who may struggle who visit. It is relatively common for autistic people to become overwhelmed in noisy/busy environments.

Proper English breakfast, fantastic menu, nice friendly team, been for lunch a few times as well and will be back again

Food is good, service a little slow when busy, but worth the wait, seating inside and out. Staff are friendly. Prices are good value too. Only down side is toilets are very limited

Stayed in Whitby for 4 nights and called in here 3 mornings on the bounce. We found the breakfast to be just right nice and fresh with a good size pot of tea and coffee and toast a plenty, The place is spotless with nice friendly Staff and fantastic sea view.

Let’s be honest, you are paying over the odds for the great location and the view. Otherwise it really isn’t worth it. Filter coffee was quite nice but at £2 a cup it’s expensive, the breakfast took almost 30 minutes to be prepared when the cafe was less than half full. It wasn’t worth the wait. Cheap ingredients and an expensive price tag. Do yourself a favour, have a coffee and admire the view, then get breakfast elsewhere.

Poor service, was not busy when we arrived. There was 3 of us so we ordered 3 breakfasts, half hour later I asked the young land who was fetching the food out how much longer they were going to be and he said "we are busy, it's not there fault and it will be another half an hour, when the food eventually arrived he just slammed the food on the table and walked off, I complained to the woman behind the counter but she was not interested,

Visited a number of times whilst on holiday in Whitby. Great choice of food and drinks. Able to enjoy a coffee whilst watching the waves crash onto the beach. Fabulous position. Friendly staff.

Good old fashioned breakfast and sweet waffle breakfast which was delicious with choice of fruit, ice creams and sauces. Decent strong white coffee and huge mug of tea whilst looking out over the bay and harbour. Good covid procedures and tables wiped down prior to use.

My partner and I came here for breakfast, we had a sausage bap with coffee and a breakfast stottie with apple juice. We couldn't fault it, the stottie was awesome, very filling and tasty ingredients. We later came back for cake to take home which was just as good! A lovely little cafe with loads of seating and great views, really friendly service with a smile, we will visit again when we come back to whitby.

During Covid so queues at most cafes but just strolled round the harbour and glad we did - went for breakfast - great choice, lovely friendly staff, good prices and the food was lovely - glad we walked past the others - would definitely recommend and return on a future trip.

Nice and friendly service nice food. Not much choice of children's drinks when they don't like fizzy drinks.

Party of 7 called in just for a quick break, everything we ordered was brought to the table. Nice touch.

Not a good experience at this cafe on our 3rd day in Whitby, I didn’t rate the food found it very basic and found the older woman rude and very abrupt. Nice views of the sea and pier but that’s about it. Lots of better cafes we found over the course of our visit.

Best cafe in whitby for a a massive tea cake and gorgeous cakes. The food is always well presented and the menu covers all the favourites. The tea is Yorkshire tea and you can get a big mug too. Lots of outside seating too. Staff always friendly and helpful.

Stopped off in here before taking the open top bus tour, and found this little gem. We had the absolute best toasted tea cake ever!

Me and my husband go to Whitby every year for our anniversary. The place where we would normally go for breakfast had closed down. It was a very windy morning walking along the pier so we just decided to try this place as we pasted it.We didn’t have much conversation with the gentleman serving us while he took our order but was pleasant enough. He asked if we wanted filter coffee or Nescafé, great idea because both my husband and myself cannot Stand filter coffee!! Four slices of toast arrived with a pot of marmalade and butter, not long after our breakfasts arrived. Booth cooked breakfasts were lovely, can’t complain about anything. Yes it’s a basic breakfast but it was perfectly edible.

Came today with our disabled service user who is autistic and also has CP.Our guy was attracted to the cafe as they had shiny tables and chairs. We were going to get our main meal but they didn't have what he wanted. so not to disappoint him we got fish & chips from a near by take away with a view to getting our desserts from the cafe. We had started to eat when a chap from the cafe came and told us we can't eat fish & chips on their tables and we had to move. Our guy who is clearly disabled was very upset at not being able to eat at the "shiny" tables and ended up putting his dinner in the bin!Now I understand we hadn't bought this food there but it wasn't as if there wasn't enough chairs and tables. (There was probably a hundred empty chairs) and we were planning on buying our desserts there. In fact the place was practically empty and we had placed our selves right out of the way.It really wouldn't have hurt them to allow us to sit there.Very unfriendly place.

We stopped here for a snack the place was ok they do Hot and cold meal's and snacks as well as hot and cold drinks plus cakes. you can sit in or outside. Service was good as was the staff.

Self-service - drinks OK, carrot cake OK, seats designed to ensure you don’t stay long, but great view of the harbour.

Called here for a quick bite. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Only had tea and a toasted sandwich, which was served very quickly straight to our table and was very tasty. Tea portion was good as well. Two and a half cups each. Plenty of seating especially outside if the weather is fine and dog friendly which was a bonus.

Nice spot in the sun looking out over the beach and harbour. Very limited gluten free options but at least soup was gluten free though no GF bread

I went with my husband and teenage son. We were spoilt for choice what to have for a quick snack. The staff were friendly, food fresh, hot and tasty and the cakes were lovely!!

I had a scone which was lovely but my partner said his panini wasn’t that great and the cheese was processed. Was ok for a quick stop but wouldn’t go back. Toilet was smelly too

From the title you can see we got fed up of asking for decaf coffee and being looked at like we had two heads so you can see why I've given it 5. Coffee was pleasant good location overlooking beach

My fav cafe in Whitby. Been coming here for many years. Excellent view of the pier and sea. Able to sit inside or outside. Service always with a smile. Lots of choice on the menu and a great selection of fresh cream cakes too. The tea cakes are ginormous and covered with lashings of butter. The cups of tea are great sizes and include a huge mug if you want. Always Yorkshire tea and piping hot. Cant go wrong and the ice creams and sundaes are gorgeous.

We always visit the Battery Parade Café when in Whitby because we get wholesome food and drinks at very reasonable prices. We visited last week and our experience was no different.

we called in here for a cuppa and the cakes and food looked so nice, so we had cakes with our drinks and I'm glad we did they were fantastic the staff were really nice. We ended up by apple pie to take away as well, this was also great much better than the place next door

this is your typical seaside café but that is nothing to complain about. The scones here are amazing, I think they can them from Bothams and then fill them with jam and cream themselves. However this will receive no complaints from me as it was one of the best cream scones I have ever eaten. My husband had a Bothams cornflake cake which was lovely as well. The drinks were lovely and hot and not that expensive. We were so taken with the quality of the cakes we had we ordered two pieces of their apple pie to take out for pudding after our evening meal and were weren't disappointed it was lovely. Great views as well

Very very below average food at this cafe would rather eat a pot noodle on the beach ordered food very late in coming and the old blonde lady was very rude I think she must of been having a bad day but you shouldn't take it out on the customer will not return as the food quality didn't match the price at all

Expensive £1.20 for a fruit shoot and £1.50 for a can of pop! £4.80 for a toastie. Expensive for a cafe nothing special or fancy

He visitado este café durante años y siempre proporciona alimentos de calidad. El té está siempre caliente y bolsas de té de Yorkshire y puedes conseguir una jarra grande. Las tartas son preciosas y siempre fresca y muchas están llenas de un montón de crema fresca. Te puedes sentar dentro o fuera con vistas al mar y el muelle. Te dan una bienvenida amistosa que no vayas a ningún otro sitio.

We stopped here for a quick snack: two coffees, a sausage roll and a pork pie. Decent food at a decent price, but rather abrupt staff.

Metimos en aquí justo antes de la hora de cierre 2 cafés y 2 rebanadas de pastel. Mi marido y yo decidimos tener el caramel Apple Betty y oh dios! Estaba delicioso! !

Nice Toasted sandwich. Reasonably priced. Nice outdoor seating area with a view of the sands. Nice seaside cafe

Comida, buenas bebidas y fabuloso bollos. Bueno asientos al aire libre, pero al lado de la zona de niños que pueden ser ruidosas. Vistas al agua y al lado de un cannon, normalmente adornadas en espera de las gaviotas. Asientos interior está disponible.

Very clean, food was excellent, service was a bit lacking that would be our only little grumble, had to eat separately as order was incorrect

This is not a posh or pretentious spot, more like a good transport cafe, just without lorises! Sitting on the terrace can be noisy when the fairground rides get going but if you need refreshments and are near the beach, it is no better or worse than neighbouring establishments and they served a decent mug of tea! Could be worth fixing their one multi use (M/F and Disabled) toilet door lock though as the lack of 'privacy' on an outward opening door could prove embarrassing!

No frills cafe, visited while on holiday. Great place for coffee and cakes to take on the beach. cant comment on cooked food as didn't try but breakfasts coming out looked nice.

Great inexpensive £6 ish breakfast good views pleasant service and oK Coffee ! Dont expect posh Table cloths of this pricebut it is clean and tidy wheel chair accessible and only a few steps from the beach.

Stopped for quick lunch. Café in a great location right by the beach. If the weather is great then table and chairs outside to sit. Ordered a couple of sandwiches. All fillings made on site so better quality than bought in fillings. Also ordered local pork pie and scone (with jam and cream). Both really good.

I was served by 3 members of staff during my visit where I received a delicious bacon stottie and a full english. I even requested to find out the names of the staff which gave excellent service. Matthew - the young gent serving ice creams was very polite and served a delicious 99 cone which looked aesthetically pleasing. Amber - one of the waitresses looked very smart and was very tentative and polite, she delivered our delicious meal in a very quick time. Abbey - also very polite, helped deliver our meal which a friendly smile. Overall the staff were amazing, the owners even said goodbye as we left. Will defiantly return soon!! DELICIOUS

closest cafe to the beach.... loads of outdoor seating... to enjoy fresh air... great menu.... love bovil by the beachgreat large toliets for baby changing or disabled...does great fry up

Visit this little gem.on regular visits beautiful food hot drinks with seating outside great in summer warm friendly and inviting good honest food

Visited this cafe for a midday snack, great selection of cakes including Lemon Meringue, delicious chocolate cakes to name a few. In addition the toilets here are well maintained and very clean. Very enjoyable experience.

Lovely place to sit outside on a sunny day, good quality coffee and milk shakes for the kids. Beautiful views over the beach.

Lovely breakfast here - fresh food and great service - thank you and well worth a walk down the sea front

This is a great little cafe with seating outside that enables you to take in the view of Whitby beach and the sea and views across to sandsend. Ok it's not a la carte or fine dining , but what it does it does well. It's cafe food with fish and chips and snacks , but they are always so tasty! It helps having the great view of the sea and the beach close at hand. I've had many a happy time here and it's always great to come and unwind here and be replenished after a day on the beach with the kids. This is one of my happy places, oh and the staff are always helpful and nice too.

Average cafe on the pier in whitby, we ordered two sausage buns and a portion of chips which was quite expensive for what it was, but we didn't mind. When we sat down the view is amazing but when our food order did come we were greeted by a boy chewing over our food, which is just rudeness to me he slammed the food onto the table and off he went, i was going to inform someone of the rudeness of this young man but the cafe was extremely busy and i didn't want to disturb them any longer. But other than the service everything was fairly satisfactory

I had a mocha and a cream scone.Which were both very nice.The Cafe also looks out onto the pier so we decided to sit by the window and enjoy the view.There are also seats outside however it was very cold when we visited.

We stopped here for some hot drinks and toasted tea cakes. Both were enormous and good value. It it typical of a seaside front cafe and we would happily go there again.

Always go here staff are very helpful & will make things how u want them always make lovely strong tea sandwiches are made when you order them delicious & so is the apple pie

Great cafe food, tea cakes to die for. Lovely views over the beach and pier, lovely place to begin your day.

Great staff who are very caring and quick. I ordered a ham and cheese toastie and within two minutes I had it. The cafe is owned by Virginia and Clive two great people. And whoever made the review about the fish and chips is wrong because they do not serve fish and chips at the battery

Small café right at the end of Pier Road. It overlooked the pier and had seating outside sounds good well ... We placed our order 2 fish and chips, 2 sausage and chips order number 74. Fish and Chip take away and café. We sat and waited for our meals watching the seagulls swoop down as people left their tables their meals half eaten. Waited ... waited ... waited ... numbers called out non below our number may I add. After two gulls jumped on the table next to us we moved (Yes I know not the café owners fault) but still we moved. We noticed at least 3 lots of fish and chips come out by this time they were calling order numbers 88 to 92. When 96 was called I approached the ordering hatch window and asked if our order would be much longer. "Its coming" was the reply abruptly. I replied that I was only enquiring. Again I was spoken to like a teacher scolding a unruly child. "There was 4 others before you."I walked back to my seat ate my food while keeping a close eye on the gathering gulls. The chips weren't very warm. The fish batter was somehow crispy at the ends but soggy in the middle. The mushy peas were hard. My wife left half of hers as a lot of others had. The kids left their chips half eaten. All in all this was a very poor fish and chip and we will find another if we return to Whitby.

Popped in here for a quick round of cakes after eating next door. We had four cakes of which three were fine but the fourth had cream which was past its best. Disappointing visit. :(

This cafe is basic and value for money. Located on the sea front with ample outside seating area, and inside seating area. I had the best knicker bocker glory ever here. If anything lets this place down its the cleanliness of the customer toilets.
