Cafe & Bistro On The Corner in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Have 2 grandchildren with autism and they were getting a bit excited waiting for food owner came out and told us to shut them up not even in a nice way we apologised and let it go next minute she came back screaming shut up or get out there we’re 11 of us in total preparing to spend over £100 I said is our custom not good enough she said no unless you shut them up one was 2 and the other 3 years old it’s say on the door dogs welcome which is great but no good if you have kids 2 young lads serving were verbally abusive certainly would not recommend if you have children

Lovely little cafe, had tea n toast as a little mid morning snack in between shopping. Very reasonable prices, nice n clean inside . Great service

We discovered this homely little cafe some years ago. We've been a few times since on my birthday, the prices are quite good, the food is delicious, generous portions and plenty of tea. The lady serving is always friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you are at Scarborough.

This establishment didn't have a functioning toolet when I visited. I ordered a bacon and egg sandwich and a coffee. When the sandwich arrived, the bread was piping hot as if it has been stale and had been absolutely nuked in the microwave. The place was staffed by two perfect pleasant young lads who because they only looked about 15 or 16 years old I felt it would be useless to complain. I certainly won't be rushing back

Fantastic Breakfast, very good value for money and the Elvis tribute was superb. Staff were lovely and friendly. Well worth a visit!

Having called in this ""cafe"" today for ""breakfast"" to be met by a very aged struggling lady on the till who took our order her attitude not nice or friendly we gave our order for a large breakfast and a small breakfast which when they cum out did not look nice sausage cheap and nasty cold plum tomatoes frazzled chewy bacon crispy cremated black pudding eggs looked like they had been flattened by a steam roller and the fried bread so greasy its a heart attack waiting to happen on a plate it looked like had been fried several times and left sitting in the fat even the pot of tea wasnt great cups were dirty. In fact its two years since i was last in that cafe the food and service still as bad as last time the cafe feels like its stuck in the 1970's and needs complete revamp to bring it in to the 21st century including repainting inside new tables chairs and a new younger front counter staff who has the energy enthusiasm politness to deal with a busy cafe not an elderly lady who didnt seem able to cope as cafe got busy long waits for food drinks to come out which resulted in either food or drink cold and when mentioned to lady on counter her reply was none existent. It seems like they are serving the cheapest produce yet charging dear prices for cheap food.The only reason we stopped here as i was in pain with my knee but I am sorry i did not persevere thru the pain and find a cafe that served edible food and served drinks in clean cups I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS CAFE.

It's a proper greasy spoon cafe. No frills, plenty of swirling fat on the breakfast! Service was OK, Price was OK but it's not an arty farty kind of Brunch Bistro and don't expect granary toast, smoked salmon or eggs Benedict! It's kinda like what you what of got in the 1970's and it's not changed since. Dog Friendly though!!!!!

We thought we'd give this one a try as my dicky knee was playing up and we were a fair walk from our usual and favourite cafe... I wish I'd have walked thru the pain. The service, food and attitude was shocking. If there was an option for zero stars they would barely be getting that. We almost demanded a refund... lesson learned

Absolutely shocking service 🙄 food cold and cheap tasting. The woman serving needs a lesson in customer service as i asked her where my toast was and got the answer....well i didn't know you ordered it (it actually came with the veggie breakfast) just a bad attitude......avoid....im off to get some decent food jow as left most of it.

Food was excellent, will definitely use again when I'm in Scarborough.

Had large breakfast enjoyed the meal nice cafe

Lovely experience this morning. Kids both had a small breakfast and a Fruit Shoot each. The breakfasts both looked really nice and had been cooked perfectly. Both adults had the large breakfast, this had black pudding and a hash brown included. We also had a pot of tea for 2, all this was well under £30. The lady taking the order was very friendly and service was excellent. I would recommend to anyone and we will definitely return on our next trip to Scarborough.

It's a shame about the service because the food itself isn't bad. Lady serving completely set a bad mood, she just looked like she didn't care or want to be there. Bit pricey but that's OK for the food quality. Food was great, but you would want to feel welcomed and relaxed when entering a cafe with your family

Worst place ever,sure I've already reviewed this so not going to go into detail again other then it ain't even worth the 1 star absolutely vile place and vile rude staff.. ( lady who works out front was just rude & looked asif she didn't want to be there) avoid at all cost I'd rather go hungry then ever step foot back in there

unfortunately we stumbled upon this place on a Saturday afternoon when looking for a place the kids could have some lunch. First impressions were that it needed a lot of TLC. table was dirty and someone had a serious obsession with Elvis. We sat down and proceeded to look through the menu to find everything a little pricey. we ordered 3 sandwiches, fried eggs on toast, 2 children's meals and a portion of chips. Firstly the cheese and pickle sandwich tasted funky and the unfortunate person who ate this had a bad stomach for the rest of the evening. The Tuna sandwich contained tuna that had not been drained at all so was very salty and watery. the sausage and bacon sandwich was cheap produce, the sausage tasteless and the bacon like rubber, Eggs on toast came with fibres on the plate, when we requested this to be rectified the horrible lady working front of house proceeded to blame someone else, slumped it on another plate and added a dog hair to the toast for good measure. the chicken nugget kids meal was inedible. the chicken smelt awful and I would honestly have been held on child neglect charges if I allowed my daughter to eat them. The chips for £3.50? they were the cheap frozen Iceland ones that I could've got for a quid down the road and cooked them 10x better myself. They serve ketchup and brown sauce are passed off as Heinz and HP but you would probably find better quality condiments at Crows Funfair. overall the staff were rude and very obnoxious and the food was made with no care or attention at all. Trading Standards and Food Standards would have a field day with this place. the only upside were the cold cans of coke that they had no power over ruining. Genuinely £30 down the drain.

Literally the worst cafe I've ever been too... staff were awkward like the vibe was off.. food was dreadful and service was horrendous.. found fibres in my food so she swaps my food onto another plate... for her to give it back and say it was just a fibre and blamed another staff member to then find what looked like dog fur attached to my toast.. felt like I couldn't complain and staff didn't seem nice so left the food and left wasn't happy about spending £30 on food that was vile frozen cheap chips the lot.. will never ever attend and highly recommend no one else does

If I could give them 0 stars I would. From the moment my family and I walked in the vibe was awful. Old lady at the front of cafe was rude, didn't look happy at all and was severely ignorant, wouldn't harm her to put a smile on her face and serve customers without the attitude. Place was filthy. Food was disgusting, £10 I spent on a coffee and tuna sandwich, coffee was lukewarm and tuna sandwich wasn't nice at all, they didn't even drain the tuna properly. Sister had a hair on her plate and when we told the woman she proceeded to say it was just a fibre and blamed someone else for it, took the food back to put food on clean plate to bring it back with yet another actual black hair that looked like it came from a dog. Food was way overpriced for the quality, the place needs shutting down. Wouldn't recommend going here at all. I'd avoid it no matter how hungry I was.

Popped in for lunch family run I think . Good food .

Nice little cafe. Great choice of foods , friendly staff, always a good place when in scarborough to grab a coffee and a bite to eat

Friendly staff with great food will definitely be back when next in Scarborough

Good cafe, great price on breakfast. Pot of tea was very ample. Lady did us a amazing gesture and gave our olde tyme English Bulldoge a free breakfast and drink ant no extra charge. Throughly enjoyed.

Excellent value, good quality , family run, dogs also welcome, would recommend

Basic old fashioned cafe...pot of tea great the breakfast was edible. Staff didn't seem like they wanted to be there 😕 cheap but not cheerful. Wouldn't go back or recommend.

Cheap and nasty. Owner a real misery guts.

The food was prepared quickly and was lovely. The coffee was good too. My wife has been here a number of times, but it was my first visit and I enjoyed popping in for a hot sandwich! I also bumped into an old friend who I hadn't seen in over 5 years. Well worth a visit.

Brilliant would recommend 👌. Red sauce amazing xx

Rude staff who won’t let paying customers use their toilet!!!! Having brought drinks and cakes in the cafe and finishing them I asked if I could use the toilet. The old rude lady said I wasn’t a customer to which I replied I was and what we had had and where we were sitting. She then said we all weren't customers to which we replied our 2 teens had just come in from walking round the shops and had joined us. However 4 of us and 4 items meant I didn’t qualify to use the toilet! We were going to have more drinks and get the teens food and drinks too but we left having felt embarrassed that I dare need a wee after eating and drinking at a cafe!!!!!

I gave one star for the mediocre coffee but due to the customer service from the assumed owner I was unable to give more and would not use this cafe especially if you need the loo, I sat with my wife and had a coffee and a packet cake each while she fed the baby. Our teenage daughters had met us as we were leaving but first my wife needed the toilet so asked where the toilet was. The owner said she wasn’t a customer and was unable to use the toilet even though we had brought stuff, then she said our daughters were not customers so my wife couldn’t use the toilet due to that as well. upon myself stating we have brought food and told her where we were sat she continued to say we’re weren’t allowed to use the toilet, my wife walked back to our seat. When questioned by another customer what was said the owner then said she could use it very abruptly with no apology nothing .She was very rude and lacking customer service skills. We will not be returning to the cafe.

while at seaside i went for food with my mother & son it was decent food & ran by a lovely old women whom we had a nice chat with yes would go back again cheers

Cafe very dated and old fashioned. Prices cheap, food basic (but ok), but elderly lady serving is ignorant and needs to learn some customer service or retire. We will not be back in this cafe and definitely do NOT recommend. ☹️

Dirty hovel don’t waste your money, the food is rank , sauces are not real just disgusting cheap copies, staff disgusting and rude

Went with my girlfriend for some dinner the waiter was an under-aged child with a poor attitude towards his work aswell as the bar staff was rude ordered a coffee and took more than an hour for me to decide that I was getting my money back, fish and chips came and was over cooked and chips were undercooked, no manners used in this cafe and aswell as my girlfriend getting a toastie which might aswell have been a mouldy sandwich. Had to get up and walk out to find somewhere else wasting almost £20 as I only got money back for coffee

Disgusting , rude staff , 8 of us went in 6 bought food after long wait took one look and left defo keep away needs to shut down

The service was shocking they got orders wrong and was sending a child to do table service absolutely disgusting highly recommended don’t waste money here.. hygiene also appalling needs reporting to food standards

Not good...took ages to get served and the food is rubbish

Nice food, good prices but be aware the older lady in charge lacks customer service skills and we felt like an inconvenience by giving them custom. Which makes no sense but she was very cold towards us. Don’t have a business which relies on its customers and then treat them badly. I felt like it was personal until I saw the other reviews .

Food was lovely and with a price of £4.70 for 2 sausages 2 bacon 2 eggs black pudding hash brown beans and tomato you can go wrong 2 empty plates from us the elderly lady behind the counter was nice too ignore everyone saying she was horrible for the love of god. Couldn’t recommend more.

Lovely friendly cafe, dog friendly and very welcoming, I had 2 small breakfast and a big mug of tea with extra bread and butter, great value for money at £10 for 2 of us, would definitely recommend lovely quality food and if your an elvis fan, this is where you would come for home comfort food. Returned the following day to try their cottage pie and fresh vegetables, treacle sponge and custard, proper home cooked food, delicious, and great value for money.

Chips dripping in grease and tasted of old dirty oil. Staff ignorant

Very good meal at a very good price

Excellent staff excellent service excellent breakfast

Definitely wouldn't recommend visiting here. Staff are extremely rude and have no decent manners at all.

What a rude old woman no service manners at all , no people skills should definitely not run a cafe

Dont think we went at a goodtime but 12noon should be a good time, staff was unpleasent and looked like it was too much effort to order 3 x breakfast. 🤔🤔

Great food , very friendly would definatley go back

Fair that's about it. Staff are a happy lot lol and the portions were small. Had better by far. You shouldn't come out hungry after paying good money for cheap food...

Came here as a party of 8! Seemed very much an inconvenience from the moment we walked in. The miserable woman serving had no skills at all in customer services. I understand it was busy and can totally appreciate time taken with things but she snapped at myself and members of our family several times when we politely advised that there were missing items. We will not visit here again! Wouldn't recommend to anyone!

Great breakfast very good service value for money

Straught forward , clean no frills cafe. In a handy position. Reasonable range of meals. Good prices.

Wasn't my first choice of cafe's I would have gone in but glad we went in, lovely food, lovely staff!

Dog friendly cafe the food is nice

Amazing value and delicious too

Very nice cafe, and decent food with friendly staff

Brilliant!! The 2 ladies who run it are ace.... 🤣

Good hit food cheap brown sauce nor hp

I visited this establishment whilst on holiday with my family. We ordered our food, which came out wrong, the cook then preceeded to argue that we didn't order that even though it was written down. I found the service her worse than poor and I was disgusted that the staff then discussed us with other customers because we complained. Needless to say I won't be going back ever!

Nice breakfast and reasonably priced!

Up hill so a pit stop only looks like a transport cafe lovely ladies

It's a greasy spoon cafe. I normally don't mind these. But there was so much grease it was unreal. All the food must have been taken out of fryer and put straight on the plate. I wondered why so many people left half their breakfasts

Very reasonable and friendly service.

Very nice breakfast would definitely recommend this place

As title says its not modern and could do with some up to date improvements but apart from that food ok and decent prices,plenty on menu, staff friendly and prompt, we were served by older women maybe owner and two long haired lads as waiters,toilets upstairs,was hot inside and they opened windows but we sat near door as left it slightly open to get some breeze. Soon got busy in there,if you want cheap n cheerful with no spills this is the place to come,we ordered some snacks and drinks for four (2 tap water free) and it cost less than a tenner and for me thats a bargain especially in a seaside resort.would call again.

It was a lovely and fast service with friendly staff. Would go again

We always go here. Lesley is lovely. Friendly staff. The food is delicious. Good menu selection. Good prices. Best Milky coffee. You won't need anything till tea time with one of the cooked breakfasts. Toilet upstairs. Give it a whirl and see for yourself.

Great lovely tidy place good is spot on

First time I've ever been for a breakfast and tasted fish and chips

Great food and great service,and excellent staff 💯👍

Excellent food staff not very helpfull

Absolutely lovely find , lovely breakfast , service fantastic . Doggy friendly and food was Gorgeous . The lovely lady who runs this business is soo nice and welcoming . Credit were credit is due 10 out of 10 .

Food was nice but quiet a long wait

Called in for a cup of tea and a bun as part of my walk. Corona restrictions were being observed. Tea was lovely and served with a smilr

This lovey cozy cafe the owner is wonderful lady always makes you welcome great food that is why i give it 5 stars

Great breakfast. Went in for a large all day breakfast, was all lovely. With a nice cup of tea 🍵 ☺️

It’s a corner cafe with a simple menu, but for a quick bite it was good enough. My toastie was cheesy and good, and the scone I added was not exciting but certainly acceptable. Have realistic expectations, and this place is fine for a quick lunch.

Always come to cafe on the corner. Lovely lady who owns it. Very good value and best of all, dogs welcome. Highly recommend.

Proper Yorkshire grub yum yum 😋

When I placed my order, they got it Wrong which I understand, sometimes it happens but when I asked for my order to be rectified, I received a soggy, thrown together sandwich with salad that I can only assume had been prepared with an axe.. The prawns were warm and some still had their waste pipes intact. Feeling nauseous.

Firstly the food was ok and the value fair however the issue here was the downright rude staff, asked for something not on the menu (baguette with sausage) and the way we were spoken to by a grumpy older lady was as if we'd asked her for some elaborate unusual dish unsurprisingly our request was refused and we had something else but if ever a business deserves to fail it is this place. don't go here

Came here as a family and unfortunately had a lot of problems. The cafe itself is in a really nice location and is very clean and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are friendly enough, the issue was with the food. First of all, our coffee was forgotten about. Then, a portion of chips were also forgotten about. One member of our party ordered a Veggie Breakfast, and a Regular English Breakfast turned up instead. A black pudding was forgot on two of the other breakfasts, and the toast for another. It was all just a shambles. Aside from this, the staff were apologetic but it was just a huge hassle that sadly put us off returning.

Amazing food I totally recommend there for you and your family they have everything from A to Z

A Lovely little cafe, I enjoyed a shepherds pie and vegetables, my partner had an all day breakfast which were both delicious. The service was good, and the food hot.

dirty floor. exceptionally rude staff. Order didn't arrive then came wrong. cutlery dirty. undercooked bacon over priced for the quality of food served. avoid!

The vile staff Incorrect orders Bad food Everything was greasy Over priced Incredibly bad service Cold food Dirty knives and forks Avoid!

Worst cafe I have been to in ages Frozen cold food rude and illmannered staff would not recommend going here

Food is great prices are good cosy couch if you just need to chill

We were needing a place to eat as we were getting tired we wanted a cheaper place to eat and didn't want to have a takeaway meal from KFC or McDolands. We saw this place, it looked a bit run down not many staff at all, dogs welcome step to get in so not pram or wheelchair friendly but room inside of parm and wheelchair. 34 Seats can pay on your card or cash. Go to the desk to order, drinks brought over after 5 mins wait time for meal 15mins, looking outside shops loads of vehicles and people passing by. Food and cutlery brought to the table, Bacon Egg and Chips unsure if the bacon is unsmoked (£4.70) Lasagne and Chips (£5.25) place didn't look it does in the pictures inside very different and outside was blue not green

I walked in the afternoon and had a fantastic all-day breakfast which tasted like home-made. The environment is comfortable and quiet, it makes me feel really peaceful and clam!

I did not think a cafe like this still existed, and was delighted to find it. An extremely pleasant Yorkshire lass asked what we would like to eat or drink. My friend had a very nice tasty fried breakfast, and I had the best bacon roll I have ever had. I would recommend this place. The toilet is upstairs, but there is an alternative toilet over the road, which has downstairs access. All in all a pleasant time, a lovely cup of tea, and some good Yorkshire banter thrown in.

We were directed to this establishment by a local who recommended it. I had the Veggie Breakfast and my partner a bacon & sausage buttie. Both were cooked to perfection and thoroughly enjoyed. The price was very reasonable too. The only negative is the toilet facilities which could do with a revamp. We would visit there again without a doubt.

Great little cafe, shocked there's not many recent reviews! We had a BLT with chips and coleslaw and was very nice. They have cheap breakfasts and offers like 3 courses for £7.50! Will return again.

Worst cafe we have ever been in knives and forks filthy tables the same rude staff and frozen food didnt eat the food we watched a dog been brought through which was eating food from floor i certainly wouldnt recomend this place and it cost us 16.50p for nothing today as we walked out.

A traditional, good value seaside town cafe, try the 'All day breakfast'

Sadly after the closure of the Café in the Market Place over the road from this Café where me and my mother had gone for over 15 years , me and my girlfriend had to look for somewhere new and found this place.We both opted for the 3 course special for £7.50 including a coffee or tea - good value we thought, the vegetable soup tasted home made but was told it wasn't , but it was absolutely superb , I got the Roast Beef meal with veg , chips and Yorkshire Pudding and this is where memories started coming back to me - the Yorkshire Pudding after been cooked had been fried - this is a total taste sensation - your taste buds could not have tasted a better and unique taste than this , and was familiar to what I had tasted in the market café for many years when me and my mother made our annual December Visits.The sweet well I got the Treacle Sponge and custard as I hadn't had it for ages - once again superb - and once again the coffee - OMG - coffee to die for the best cup of coffee I had tasted in my life - forget Costa and Café Nero - this coffee was superb.When leaving I asked the woman if she had ever worked in the Market Place Café and to my amazement it was some of the people from the Market Café - EXCELLENT , hardworking staff and food at a very reasonable price - I don't know how they do it.I always wanted to send a Thank You Christmas Card from my mother and I when you had the Market Place Café and if you are reading this I would just like to thank you for all the happy days out and lovely meals at your little Café ( My Mother sadly is too ill and old to come to Scarborough now ) but I would just like to say THANKS THANKS THANKS - YOU ARE A LOT OF BRILLIANT HARDWORKING PEOPLE WHO PROVIDE LOVELY FOOD FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK........................

Visited this place as we were looking for a cafe which was dog friendly. We had breakfast here and did not enjoy at all. The breakfast was very greasy!

Whilst we appreciate that there is around 8 tables to serve, we couldn’t quite believe how pedestrian and slow a cafe could be! We ordered some food around 12.50 and we were still sat waiting at 13:40 so we called it a draw, got our money back and moved on. The food coming out looked OK but they were serving each table one person at a time and not per table or party!!!!!

Lovely cafe great food great service wold recomend this place

Great Cafe, great location and extremely reasonable, we will always pop in when in Scarborough.

Saw this cafe was dog friendly so went in. When I sat down I kind of wished I hadn’t. The condensation catchers on the window cills contained mould. I used the toilet whilst there, the carpet leading up to it needs replacing. The bathroom itself could do with a facelift.

Visited here with my partner and dog Stanley - only because our favourite cafe was closed. Had fish and chips - there was no bread and butter or peas with this meal - the older woman who served us reminded me of Mrs Overall from acorn antiques - a comedy from years ago played by Julie Walters - she made no eye contact - no smile - no thank you - NOTHING - the fish was ok - chips very dry - the tomato sauce was cheap sauce but in a Heinz tomato ketchup bottle - service was slow - maybe the lady was stressed being on her own - would have helped greatly if she could have smiled - it would have made it a nicer experience
