Boyes Scarborough in Scarborough

Great store for the D.I.Y person with lots of bits and pieces hard to locate so cheap anywhere. Haberdashery and wool superb choice,toys for the kids, stationery.. Gents ,ladies and childrens clothing at good value. A good store harder to find thsn Boyes

We visit Boyes every time we are in Scarborough. Left with two massive bags of stuff we just couldn't live without.

We found Boyes and went in ,they sell a lot of things that you do not see anywhere else anymore , and when you see them they bring back memories of when you last bought them and how old you were

You can get just about everything you need in this shop and I love it. It's a big shop and everything is laid out fine and staff are friendly.

Has everything, gardening, home, craft. small but has a great choice. Always call here when I'm Scarborough.

We wanted something quick, simple and not expensive and this fitted the bill perfectly. I had steak pie, roast potatoes and peas, very nice

I was born and live in Scarborough-the home of Boyes store.Nowhere beats Boyes for value and choice.Decided to visit the cafe(first time in years) approx 1 30 in the afternoon.One young woman at the counter serving and taking the money.I ordered a cheese and onion toastie and pot of tea for one.thought it would be quicker as the chip tureen was empty and knew I would have to wait for fresh to be cooked,otherwise I would have had their steak pie etc(which in the Brid dept is brilliant)The toastie took absolutely ages to come and when it did I was appalled! luke warm,and underdone,no crispiness,and must have used half of a whole red onion!bit of salad on the side.Scraped most of the onion out of the sandwich,and ate nearly half--left the rest!How can anyone get a toasted sarnie wrong?Waste of money and left with revolting taste /onion breath rest of day.will never go again!Oh and the brilliant toilets were ruined by the one and only drier being out of order!(no paper towels supplied)

Very good sausage rolls and nice latte although it is worth paying the extra for a mug of coffee pity they have no comfy chairs like Bridlington but the toilets are superb.

Boyes cafe situated on the second floor of Boyes shop serves good ,wholesome food at cheap prices.The steak pie is packed full of delicious tender pieces of steak and is just like mother used to make.Also served is delicious home cooked ham.I like mine with salad but it is also available with chips .For less than a fiver this cafe provides excellent value for money.

OMG your steak pie is to die for...definitely not Mrs Lovett making them! Friendly staff, great customer service, just wonderful! Thank you!

Whenever we stay in Scarborough we always visit Boyes cafe for coffee and scone or tea cake.it is cheap and enjoyable, the staff are always pleasant and helpful

This is a shop I use a lot. Seem to find what I need. Great colour choices of felt and other craft supplies.

good old fashioned store family orientated and staff very helpful always does a xmas window display and father xmas grotto

Up on the top floor the cafe provides good food at a reasonable price. The staff are pleasant and for those with mobility problems there is a lift to take you to the top.

We had a lovely meal in the local Boyes restaurant in their retail store. It was hot, very tasty and plenty of it. Brought to our table. Children’s meals were large and home made. We will be there again very soon.

Always visit this cafe when in the area as their cheese scones are so good. Their food and drinks are really underpriced and the staff are very friendly and efficient.

Away from the hustle and bustle. Pop upstairs in Boyes and have a straightforward meal. Good basic fodder. Full plates. Children welcome there. Fed the family really reasonably. Great fireplace.

We went to Boyes in Scarborough to look for gifts and clothes very disappointed in the quality of both use to be the place to go for everything but not any more clothing outdated store looks tied

Visited today simply to try the well talked about steak pie, had this with chips peas & lots of gravy & can honestly say it’s one of the best steak pies I’ve tried in a very long time, excellent value for money too at just £5.95, highly recommended

Been in here many times and always come out with some bargains. Never been to the cafe before. Been in the one in Bridlington and this one is just as good. Always busy and the food is cooked fresh. Good choices on the menu. Also a kids menu. Only had tea and tea cake which was great . Very reasonable prices. Glad I went.

We visited this cafe inside the Boyes store late in the afternoon of a very cold, snowy day. Even though the staff had started to clear away for the day, they went out of their way to find us some delicious scones and made us a lovely, warming pot of tea and hot chocolate. The scones were delicious. The lady who served us was really friendly and made us feel very welcome. A really nice place with lovely staff, when I'm next in Scarborough I will visit earlier to try some of the hot meals on offer there.

On a cold day in Scarborough it was lovely to find a cafe in this Boyes. Had a very nice pot of tea for two and hot chocolate with three delicious scones. The woman who served us was polite and friendly and i would recommend this cafe to anyone who is looking for snacks to meals.

After some 'retail therapy' in the store, we called upstairs for a light lunch, the cafe was fairly busy. We both chose a cheese + onion toasty, these came with a salad trim, and were packed with plenty of cheese and red onion. My pot of tea yielded 2 cups, hubby had a coke with his lunch.

As an ex resident of Scarborough I know this to be an old fashioned store where you can get many bargains in any department. The cafe on the top floor, with an ornate wooden fireplace, does home style meals and the best scones. It has a good haberdashery department with materials, buttons, cottons and knitting wools. The household department has a good selection of pots, pans and other kitchen wares.

Lunch is very nice. I’ve tried the Steak Pie, various Quiches and Sausages which all recommended. Only downside is that prices are creeping up.

OMG! I’ve lived in Scarborough now for a few years and have been in Boyes so many times and never once thought to visit the cafe until today. I will definitely be back. I ordered sausage chips peas and gravy and a pot of tea all for around £5. The gravy is advertised as being real beef gravy but nine times out of ten in places that state that it’s bisto out of a tub. This gravy actually had small pieces of beef in it and was gorgeous. Two massive succulent sausages and ample homemade chips with garden peas was delicious. They have a small but varied menu and I will be back probably in the next week to try their homemade steak pie. Well worth a visit. Oh and a mention to Janet/Janice? The staff member who was so friendly and helpful considering I was in my own. 10/10!

on my recent holiday found the cafe very nice layout and decoration with good choice of hot and cold food available home maid pies and lots of baking. old fashioned counter service with friendly expierienced staff. lift service available. Suggest well worth a visit next time in town i will be in boyes

After purchases on the Ground & First floors, We went up to the cafe for some lunch. Hubby had Steak pie, chips + beans, I had Chicken Pasta which was nice and rather unusual with peas + parsley in the sauce!. I had a pot of tea for one, hubby had his usual coke. Good down to earth meals with a lot of variety, the staff are friendly and efficient, the loos are just outside the cafe and are kept clean + tidy.

Called in Boyes while shopping in Scarborough. This shop is a real Alladin's cave with a wide variety of goods for sale over it's 2 floors.

Hemos comido en el Restaurante Boyes muchas veces antes y almuerzo es un particular regalo. Siempre vamos por la torta de carne que creo que hacen en la cocina, tiene el aspecto de estar "caseros". Yo tenía con patatas frescas y judías con salsa, el pastel de carne es lo que su madre habría llamado "pastel de placa" horneados en una gran placa de esmalte. El pastel es profunda y repleta de carne sabrosa salsa, nunca he tenido una sola pieza de grasa o cartílago en esta tarta, simplemente comida confort en su mejor - altamente recomendado. Por supuesto, hay muchas otras opciones en el menú, pero tiene que ser la torta de carne para mí cada vez.

Fantástica comida excelente personal no puede esperar hasta la próxima vez. Siempre comer aquí cuando en vacaciones el personal de magia :-)

En Boyes para una taza de té y tostadas con pastel. Normalmente hay una oferta especial, pero este no está disponible durante el almuerzo. No puedo criticar el té o té y pasteles, comidas principales parecía maravilloso. El personal era amable y el servicio era enérgico. Cafetería agradable.

He visitado el café sólo unas cuantas veces y siempre he notado que cada vez su esperando de pie para alguien que sepa su incluso allí esperando a ser servidos. Yo podía oír a la gente riendo y hablando im la parte trasera.

The trip to the top floor is always met be a pleasant welcome and good home cooked food at very appealing prices.

When I want to eat inexpensively, and want a break from quinoa, wholefoods and low carb, low fat diet the steak pie cant be beaten!

Once again back to Boyes for shopping then lunch in the cafe. The food is simple well cooked with ample portions. I had cheese and onion toastie with chips. My wife had home made steak pie and chips. The staff are always polite and helpful. Good access for wheelchair and scooters plus disabled toilets.

we called for a coffee before shopping downstairs, we got 2 milky coffees, these were in tall beakers. the cafe had just begun to get busy, there was plenty of meals choice; pies, chicken, omelettes, quiche e.t.c. as well as cakes & hot puddings. After our elevenses we made a few purchases in the store.

good shop with plenty of variety, pleasant staff. just looks a bit old fashioned will put off the young.

remember going in these places with my mother when i was a kid nothing apart from the prices have really changed & still always enjoy going in this store & any other boyes stores as you can always get what you want & at a decent price

Stumbled across this store on a wet august bank holiday. Been in many boyes stores over the years but noticed the sign in the window about the cafe. What a find, up some flights of stairs but lift is available. We had home made quiche and chips x 2 and a coffee and pot of tea all for 10.20. Lady should be praised that made the quiche, pastry to die for and fluffy egg filling.excellent customer service from the girls so friendly.

Very clean and friendly staff not expensive either the food looked very nice we had coffee and a hot sausage roll was nice will go again

A great family store, excellent variety of goods, keen prices, my last purchase a suede effect lamp shade for a lamp I made.

This cafe on the top floor has been going long before anyone reading this. Steak pie is still worth the lift journey. Great value and good service. No frills food with friendly staff.

boyes is one of they shops you can buy pick and mix shoes or a tv and are very competitive price wise a visit an absolute must while in scarborough

called in here bout 3.15pm. on the 2nd floor. very quiet and lacked atmosphere. hot food not served after 3.30pm. counter serving hot food was deserted. ended up having a £2.50 "special" of cup of coffee and sausage roll. coffee was lovely and hot. sausage roll was mediocre......lot of pastry.

Ha lunch there Pie chips and veg with a drink. Well cooked food a bit of a wait in the queue worth the wait, when I visited it was lunchtime so you could expect it to be busy. I found a table with ease and enjoyed the meal A good place for a meal out whilst shopping in Scarborough centre

The home made steak pie is particularly nice and so are the home made quiches, cheap and good in a comfortable environment with friendly staff.

A lovely store to wonder about you always find something that you never thought you needed. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Great staff always helpful. Nothing to much trouble. It is so old fashioned but that is its charm. This is our first port of call when we come on holiday. As we travel from Coventry. Just love it. Nice to see it is still open.

Definitely worth a look, always some bargains to be had if you're an avid bargain hunter.Staff are polite as well

After a couple of hours shopping I was in need of a sit down and a cup of tea.It's been a while since I visited Boyes Cafe so I thought give it a try It's great to visit a cafe where nothing changes. Good English no nonsense food.No fancy menus, and no fancy prices.A very pleasant hot sarnie and cup of tea without breaking the bank. Good old Boyes..

My friends both had cooked breakfast and they were happy with quality and price. I had tea and toast on this occasion but have eaten there on several occasions for lunch and been very satisfied.

Have to say boyes steak pie, chips and lovely gravy made with the meat juices is bloody gorgeous, always friendly service with a smile , a Scarborough gem .

Very good food served by very pleasant helpful staff. The food is fairly basic but we'll prepared and tasty. Just had a ham and egg pie with colsore and a cheese and onion toasty. Together with a lovely big pot of tea. A perfect place for a break from shopping.

If there's something you want it's very possible they'll have it there Christmas window is always wonderful

called for a coffee break whilst clothes shopping. we got 2 milky coffees, its a clean little cafe that has a varied menu. the xmas dec's are very nice, and loo's are clean + tidy. prices are quite reasonable, staff are very pleasant.

Always visit this old fashioned cafe the staff are helpful and the decode is quant the food is basic menu but a nice choice the cakes are nice and the paradise slice is very good the only downside is its on the top floor but there is a lift well a visit

Canteen looking type of a place, very clean although situated on another floor there is a lift you can use instead of the stairs. simple menu with the usual type fayre scampi and chips, breakfast and lunch specials desserts cakes scones and a drinks, it was the Scarborough branch that i visited this year, the one in Bridlington is furnished differently to the Scarborough café. its very reasonably priced

I'm a great fan of Boyes, especially its haberdashery. However, I was surprised that the Scarborough branch had a cafe, and Boyes being, shall we say, better known for its value and range of sensible stock than for its elegance, went there expecting it to be rather basic. On the contrary it was quite elegant with interesting material on Boyes history. The coffee was great, as was the price, and there were newspapers to read. It looked as though it would be good for a traditional lunch, too. The only disappointment was that you had to stand up to see the beautiful view of the sea.

Love this place a nice place for a browse. On the top floor is the cafe with lots of old photos of a big fire in Scarborough in 1915. Traditional style cafe with a small menu.

Whilst the Boyes store is a little run down, it does sell practically everything. The 2nd floor cafe serves pots of proper tea and delicious home made scones, which we had to sample daily!

We entered & found it to be more of a women's institute atmosphere/décor/equipped than a café in a department store.We ordered coffee & scones, the scones were delicious, the coffee was awful.We will not be returning and certainly can not recommend this venue to anyone else

lots of choice at good prices, best grotto and display at christmas time, good cafe toilets and bus stops outside the shop, nothing to dislike,

This place really does have everything you could want. The price is not too keen is some areas but is a local business and the service is good

I grew up in Scarborough and always loved Boyes. As a regular visitor to Scarborough 40 years later, it is still my favourite shop. Wonderfully old-fashioned (in a good way), it offers a delightful variety of household items, clothing, electrical goods - more or less anything you might wish to buy - even an excellent angling section - all at very good value prices - a Yorkshire business at its best!

This quirky, popular little cafe on the top floor of the small, family-owned department store is a quaint throwback to the 1950s, with home-made cakes, scones and pies (meat pies at lunch time - and fruit pies with custard!) It sometimes even has suet puddings, such as treacle pudding with custard, on offer, as well as lovely home-made quiches, served warm, as well as excellent home-baked ham served in sandwiches or salads. It is a self-service cafe reminiscent of 1950s seaside resorts, staffed by lovely, chatty local ladies who can't do enough for you! What more do you want?

A good old-fashioned department store with up-to-date goods. Has pretty much everything you need from furniture to food.

I really liked the quiche and the best cup of tea I had in a week Old-fashioned counter service, nice ambience but no real coffee.

A busy little cafe popular with locals as well as holiday makers. The food is freshly cooked & smells / tastes delicious at very good prices. Staff very friendly & helpful.

well on going into boyes for my breakfast which i really enjoyed i went to use the toilets and was disgusted they were filthy my feet were sticking to the floor and when i shut the door it had dirt all over it so i decided not to use them and went in the disabled toilet and that had dirt all behind the toilet as well so all i can say is i wont be using there toilets again i may end up catching something so boyes get your toilets cleaned properly and you might get more customers

Find the lift or use the stairs to the top floor of this store and you will find the most cosy cafe in Scarborough. Whilst the menu may not be the widest you will find in the town I can guarantee the service and quality will make up for it.From a simple toasted teacake to the mouth watering homemade steak pie you are sure to leave here with a full stomach and not a empty wallet. Nothing is too much trouble and no matter how busy the staff are always happy and smiling, you may even see the store manager come in for his cup of tea.Give it a try the next time you visit Scarborough.
