Bay View Coffee House in Scarborough

Great coffee, always hot. (Not the case with many seafront cafes.) Friendly staff. Should have a loyalty reward scheme for the regular local customers.

Wow , the sun was shining, the sea was calm and glistening, what a lovely place to have a pot of tea and a bacon sandwich. A great spot to watch the world go by, it was as good as the promenade in Benidorm, and that is high praise indeed. Keep on shining Bay view. Steve and Jackie Pontefract.

Bayview is a nice little cafe on Scarborough's seafront. I often pop in there for a cappuccino and a toasted teacake. The staff are very friendly and helpful. 😋

Good spot for a coffee. Great staff, very accomodating.

A perfect tasting cup of YORKSHIRE TEA at a very reasonable price. This seems to be the only place along the seafront. (They just shut too early lol)

Very clean and tidy place and good service

Yorkshire Tea..as it Should Be !! The only decent cup of Yorkshire Tea I've found in Scarborough !! And very friendly staff too.

Lovely place to sit and have a cup of tea and peice of cake and watch the world go by ,great sea veiws

Fantastic place to eat, second time we have been and it didn't disappoint the second time, lovely staff and food is cooked to order so always hot , you also get a Seaview whilst you eat . Definitely worth a visit if your in Scarborough 10/10 .

Decent coffee, and not a bad price for the location.

Lovely little cafe even do gluten free nice staff as well

Called in this cafe for a Late Coffee, unfortunately l was very disappointed with the coffee , £3.50 for a cup of dishwater ie didn't taste any coffee and it was made with 95% water ,l told the server but she just blanked me so l left leaving a 3/4 cup of coffee still in my cup will l ever go back NO !!!! 01/07/24

I ordered 3 coffees the milk was off. They replaced the coffees but it still tasted funny. The toilets need a clean as I had to clean the seat due to fly's in the toilet on the seats. I would not recommend

Nice little sea front cafe. Food was really nice and fast friendly service as well. They do all day breakfast, really nice toasties and fresh smoothies all great!

We went here 3 times in the 3 days we were here .Best tea and coffee.

Best flat white coffee in area and not badly priced..will vist again when next there..

Popped in for some lunch over the bank holiday weekend. Staff were lovely and food was great! Would visit again if I was in the area!

Great location and lovely on a sunny day. Ordered an English breakfast but was disappointed that there was no sausage and only one small mushroom cut in half which for the price seemed a little sparse. I should have read the menu better but I don't think I have ever known an English breakfast not to include certain items. With a sausage and hash brown would have been a 5

Been to this fabulous cafe a number of times and cannot fault the coffee and warm welcome from the staff. Whenever we're in Scarborough, we'll always make time to visit, drink some coffee and watch the world go by.

Fantastic cafe, you'll struggle to find better, can be busy as a consequence.

Excellent food - great young chef - had breakfast here and could not fault it. Staff friendly and professional. Definitely would return - best place along the parade.

Visited the bay view coffee shop today for breakfast. The staff were really lovely and food was delicious. Went with friends, service was really quick and the scrambled egg was gorgeous. Well worth a visit.

Great service especially from Howard. Lovely clean seating area on the front. Good coffee and cakes and great value. Highly recommend.

We came here and had a coffee whilst a weekend away and when I ordered 2 coffees I paid by card and the guy told me that this hadn't gone through when checked my banking he had charged me twice. Also someone in our party had a scone and this was suppose to come with butter and jam and this only came with jam. What poor service we received. I will not be returning to this coffee house.

Lovely cafe, friendly staff, and the best coffee ever, I'll definitely be back soon 😋

My fave Scarborough coffee shop. Great location, friendly staff and fantastic coffee. The perfect place to sit by the sea

Right miserable old little man serving, rude and no manners, the food was cold, cutlery dirty and the toilets were disgusting

Popped in for the first time, fancied trying a milkshake as I had heard how nice they are, and they did not disappoint. All the staff were lovely, and made me feel very welcome, especially the young lass that served me, I believe her name was Isobel, absolute service with a smile, highly recommend

Great service, caring and friendly. All the staff provide a very happy atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.

Best coffee in Scarbados. If you're lucky you might get a rendition of Elton John's "Blue Eyes". ....we did and it stayed with us all day.

Fantastic food try the carrot cake very friendly service

Very friendly and good service. And the coffee is yum. And our Doggie likes it too.

Was lovely.gf free cake was gorgeous

Good coffee, lovely cake choice (the coffee cake I had was excellent) and very welcoming staff, young and old providing very prompt service. Superb position and the outside area at this time of year is fine if it is not raining, plus tables inside, it is sheltered by the adjacent building but still has views of the beach and sea. Best cafe on South Bay in my opinion.

Nice clean cafe, toastie was excellent,dog friendly, would recommend and return

We popped in here for a warm brew as it was cold and out of season. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Even let the two dogs in as well. There is a good gluten free choice also. Top marks

Nice cheese and onion toastie washed down with a lovely pot of tea. Service was faultless. Would definitely return

Friendly staff and brilliant cappuccino best in Scarborough

Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. Only ordered a milkshake and some bottled drinks so can’t really comment on the quality but the milkshake was nice. The gentleman singing was lovely and pleasant. The staff were polite

I was happy 😊 however didn't have any food so can't comment on that

Nice little cafe dog friendly 👌 great food and friendly staff

Opens early so great for those walking along the front. Great view. Very cosy, confortable and clean atmoisphere. We had a great breakfast!

Nice cafe, friendly staff and good food....

Lovely lovely lovely cafe on the sea front at Scarborough south bay. All food freshly prepared, absolutely delicious. Dog friendly cafe and a fantastic place to sit and watch the world go by. The breakfast was delicious

Drinks lovely. Four different drinks purchased

Nice cafe bar situated on the sea front, very pleasant staff, lovely coffee at a reasonable price, what's not to like

Lovely cafe just across from the beach on the south bay, with very kind and helpful staff. I had a nice toastie, chai latte and scone. We visited twice whilst on holiday and the owner made my little boy a sandwich to go even when they were closing up! Appreciated it very much. Toilets also nice and clean and baby/child friendly. Thank you!

It was quiet today in the café . Nice and clean place on the front of the South bay at Scarborough with seats outside for the good weather times . Most important thing here for me was that our lattes were hot on delivery by the waiting staff . I find most places serve a warm drink and by the time you have a first drink its nearly cold . Good view of the harbour / beach and lighthouse along with snacks to fill you up .

My family visited on Friday 31st of march. And well it took 25 minutes for drinks to arrive and it was cold when it came. There was one blonde boy who had his fingers in his mouth biting his nails the whole time and was jabdlong food and drinks and he never washed his hands once. There is also many reviews about the tall oldish man and they are infact very very true. He's rude, slow, and extremely sexist and he was talking about people have intercourse in the ear space of young children. How many chances does the man get. I will never be visiting again.

New to the area and our first time visiting the Bay View for coffee and hot choc, hubby had noticed it and wanted to test it out. Visited on Boxing Day following a walk along the beach. Very busy inside with overflow sitting outside. Hubby the coffee snob enjoyed his coffee and the hot choc was nice yet a bit too sweet for me (a pre-diabetic). Like to support the independent shops and cafes rather than the large chains. Following the busy period, tables were cleared and wiped down, prior to that the mess was just left, customers just pushed the crockery to one side which is a bit lazy of the staff. Pleasant atmosphere, staff friendly. The test is would we visit again - yes we would. See you again.

Popped in here this morning (18 Dec) for a quick hot chocolate. Lovely amaretto and baileys hot choc and complimentary mince pie. Sat outside with blankets and enjoyed the view. Far worth visiting small business with character and warm staff than chain coffee shops. Give it a try.

The service was good and the food tasted fresh and was well worth the money. I would recommend the ham and cheese toasties

Excellent coffee and gorgeous fresh cakes. The waiter was a bit rude and kept pretending he didn’t understand me. He was very surly and poorly dressed. Didn’t go inside so can’t comment on cleanliness. Brilliant outside to people watch

We popped in for a coffee last week and were appalled at how slow and useless the staff were. As other reviewers have said, lots of rubbish on the floor and dirty tables. The coffee was very average. Much better coffee shops on the seafront to visit.

For some time this has been our favourite cafe in Scarborough. The expresso martini was the best for miles around. Visited today to find a dirty cafe, inside and out. Tables not cleared after visitors had left, and lots of rubbish on the floor of the outside tables. Cafe run by teenagers who seemed to have no idea. Has this cafe changed hands? Very disappointed and we will not be rushing back.

In fairness it was a busy day, but the service in this place was shocking. It was taking up to 30 minutes for people to just get hot drinks, my other half watched as someone who came in 20 minutes after us got what we assume was her coffee within minutes of sitting down, having to actually go and ask for them to make her drink after having waited at least another 10 minutes with no sign. No apology for the wait, felt like our very presence was an inconvenience, and it is not like we were rude about it, we understand what it can be like having worked in hospitality ourselves. The cappuccino was good when it eventually arrived which was the only real saving grace at this point.

Ordered 2 coffees and 2 carrot cakes, then realised my husband wanted tea. They changed the order without a fuss and refunded the difference. Coffee was nice and strong and the cake was lovely. Well worth a stop. Thanks.

Great place. Indoor and outdoor seating. Eat in or takeaway. Staff great service great and the price is also good. We stopped in had pot of tea and a cake each. Loved it definitely will use again or recommend to people going to Scarborough for a nice place to sit and absorb in the views while grabbing a bite to eat. Thanks again.

Delicious breakfast and best views in Scarborough! Roz the proprietor is a gracious host! Thanks!

Just fancied a quick bite to eat two in a party Had to wait for the waitress to come back as she was serving There was 2 people standing prepping food but not looking or saying someone will be with you shortly Got two panini...

For a snack, the best cup of Yorkshire tea, view over the sea, great music accompanied by the owner's trilling baritone, you won't do better than the Bay View Coffee House.

Always friendly staff. And a good cup of coffee.

Always a warm welcome at the Bay View. Ros and her team work tirelessly to make everyone feel valued and serve the best coffee on the sea front. Food and cakes are also excellent and the prices are very reasonable for a prime position. The...

We have been here several times usually for breakfast and coffee. The menu is good and staff are very friendly. It’s very clean and conveniently situated on beach front.

My first visit. Great service, great coffee, great food, great view. Done!

This is a great café any time of year. Ros has created a coffee shop with character and there are always friendly, efficient staff on hand to bring you great coffee, teas and scones, cakes, fresh-cooked paninis and other savoury meals. Prices are reasonable and the south-facing seafront location is superb, offering views of the bay from the seating outside and, when it's rainy or windy, from the inside. One always feels welcome at the Bay View, which is why it's a favourite haunt of sea swimmers. The sea is just across the road and we know we'll soon get warmed up there! In case you don't know: bacon baps, paninis, cakes, flapjacks and tea or cappuccino are all recommended after a dip in the bracing South Bay waters!

Great little cafe Delicious food all freshly made and friendly staff Well worth a Visit

Good tea and very friendly cafe

Friendly owner. Excellent coffee. Perfect start to the day.

First visit today with two bichon frise in tow which were allowed in the cafe. Gorgeous moist ( listen out other cafes!); moist fresh cakes and coffee was lovely. Nice friendly staff and clean environment thank you :)

First time at this coffee shop but was impressed with the service and quality.

Clean friendly and freshly made.

Stopped here due to its outdoor seating area and ability to people watch. Only had coffee, not a good coffee. Had to add milk but it didn't help. Left it. Seems popular.

Our favourite spot for coffee one the seafront and probably the best in Scarborough. Coffee is always hot and strong. Toasted teacakes are delicious with a hint of spice and served with oudles of proper butter. Bacon butties very tasty with good quality bacon and...

Visited this afternoon Ordered a scone only to find they had none left. So went for toasted teacake soaked in butter yummy. Me and my hubby both had coffee which he described as bloody gorgeous. Despite me being a tea drinker. I opted for a...

Honest prices for good food. Very nice people and toilets/ disabled/baby change

Really nice good, reasonably priced and friendly staff. We came twice in the same day. And a nice view. Thank you

It is such a shame to leave an unhappy review As the tea, coffee, cakes and milkshakes were delightful. Unfortunately the gentleman serving was anything but delightful. At first I thought he may be a little hard of hearing but I soon realised he only...

Greatest cafe on the sea front. The owner and her staff are all lovely polite people. We have always called in for a coffee tea and two scones. And we go all the time now we live in Scarborough. Look forward to seeing you all soon. Much love

We went here several times this week the staff are always friendly and can’t do enough for you the food and drinks are good and the view is fantastic but most of all the staff work so hard especially with all the COVID regulations I...

Good drinks, poor service. Knocked an open bottle of fanta over a member of my table with and bearly any apology from the waiter.

Great place on sea front lovely staff go there all the time

Honestly the best coffee in Scarborough! Super affordable everything is around £3 and beautiful views of the coast.

Staff are wonderful. Food and coffee is excellent quality! Everything is around £3 so super affordable and honestly the best in Scarborough.

Just got back from a weekend away in Scarborough,and visited bay view coffee shop on both Saturday and sunday.when we arrived Saturday the first thing to do was to find somewhere nice to get breakfast,our group was a party of 8,4 adults and 4 children.we...

We popped here to get some sandwiches for our kids to take away - the staff were friendly and helpful, and took the time to go the extra mile, giving the kids the crisps they would like rather than the standard. The food was delicious...

Very friendly staff.. Delicious coffee & cakes... Perfect stop after a long walk... Rosie the dog loves the biccies too 😊

Very good - pleasant efficient staff.

Best coffee on the seafront. Always served with a smile. Really well organised for takeaway at the moment. Bacon butties are lovely, nice crisp bacon and toasted bun and they have the nicest teacakes which have a hint of spice and served with lashing of proper butter. They even have free dog biscuits for your canine companion. Can't wait for it to reopen properly so we can have a full breakfast.

Nice coffee bit overpriced and slow service

Excellent and very pleasant service. We had coffee, tea, toasted tea cakes n bacon sandwich. All were well presented

Has to be the best bacon sandwiches in Scarborough. Coffee top notch too. Very friendly owner who goes out of her way to help. Definitely visiting again!!

Visited this cafe whilst visiting Scarborough and very glad we did as it is a very nice place. There was 4 of us and we ordered 4 coffees and they were very nice and at a very reasonable price. Sat outside as it was a...

Staff were lovely tea and coffee were lovely brill

Nice ace to relax and watch world go bye

We were staying in Scarborough overnight and decided to go for an early morning work along the foreshore before breakfast. We happened upon The Bayview Coffee House and enjoyed a superb breakfast, sat outside on the pavement. It was the 7th October and the weather was perfect, bright sunshine without a cloud in the sky. (Note the photo of The Grand Hotel with cloudless azure sky). Not bad for October.My vegetarian partner enjoyed a huge plate of beans on toast and my cooked breakfast was perfect. This was a great place to sit and watch the world go by whilst enjoying the hot sun over the bay.A fantastic hour and the price was really so reasonable.

Always good. Great view, good place to chill.

Food was absolutely beautiful, we came for breakfast and it was so so tasty and reasonably priced too! My friends partner loved the bacon,egg and mushroom sandwich so much he ordered another one! They were accommodating for different types of milk also i got a strawberry oat shake and it was amazing! Very pleasant experience, i definitely recommend!

Lovely food, really friendly accomodating staff and dog friendly! Will definately make this our coffee stop when in Scarborough!
