Cafe Mellar in East Riding of Yorkshire

Lovely cafe, catering for our various diet requirements from meat eaters to vegans. They asked how we would like our bacon cooked and the delivered what we asked for. Service was spot on and the food was excellent. Highly recommended. Reasonable prices.

Popped in for coffee and ordered a cappuccino. What a disappointment got hot water and burnt coffee couldn’t drink it I think this is the worst cappuccino I have ever had. This is not what I expected - won’t bother returning

Called in for lunch today, staff were very accommodating brought some water for our pooch. 🐶 nice food and tea, good value for money .

We rode out on the motorbike to Hornsea and hunted around for somewhere that did a good breakfast and could cater for a gluten free diet. This place is spot on:good food, decent coffee and fab, friendly service. Nothing seemed too much trouble (checking food labels, etc). Such a happy experience we are going back again this week!

Popped in for a cupped with hubby ended up having a burger with home made chips hubby had chicken and leek pie with homemade chips. It was very tasty will definitely go again.

i went recently with my family. Placed our orders, when my chip butty arrived, it contained very little chips to cover the bread cake they were on, the chip portion sizes for the other meals were the same. They were tiny. Then one portion of chips came out as an after thought. These were not the fresh cooked chips we had gotten, but frozen chips swimmingnin grease. I did speak with a member of staff too address this matter, she was rude and abrupt, and possessed no decent customer service. Her excuse was that they were quiet the day before, yet busy the day we went in. So had strugg.ed to keep up with demand. They also did not want to be throwing away any un used pre prepared potatoes. So ok fair enough, i understand that. However, if they did notnhave adequate enough chips to fullfill our order, they couldnhave told us before we ordered. So we could have changed what we ordered, or even maybe peeled some spuds for the order. The bill was well over 50 quid, so not just a few quid. There was not even an offer to knock off something from our bill, or offer a free drink as they had prover iqlly ballsed up. This was not a goodnvisit, i really was not impressed at all.

Popped in for coffee whilst on a recent visit to Hornsea, excellent friendly table service, hot drinks, pleasant atmosphere. Covid precautions and social distancing spot on

Found this little gem while on an over night stay at Hornsea. Served immediately by a fresh young face who was very polite and clearly a good little working. Very eye catching on the outside and lovely and clean on the inside. We both had the breakfast which we really enjoyed, the bacon was a good thickness and they do a lovely cappuccino, very worth the money we paid. Free WiFi too 👍

Here for a few days, woke up early so had a walk around the park and found Cafe Millard, when foraging for breakfast. Fresh cooked local produce. Probably a local favourite, homemade cakes and great coffee. Worth a trip if you’re in Hornsea.

Husband's ham ,eggs and chips.was greasy lots of fat. My cottage pie was not freshly made , therefore hard potato and tasteless , veg as well. Used to be good here, not now. Very disappointed.

This cafe's a real blast from the past! The décor and ambience certainly isn't modern or minimalist, but the service and food were spot on! The young man who waited on us was very polite and efficient, food and drinks arrived promptly, and portions were hearty. My husband raved about his steak and ale pie, my daughter loved her roast turkey dinner, and I I really enjoyed a full English. The apple pie with custard also went down a treat!

This cafe looked nice, but the food was disappointing. The hot pork rolls weren’t hot at all and there was no stuffing, as advertised. When we pointed this out, the lady said she would microwave it. There was a hair in one of the sausage baps. One of the ladies serving was particularly grumpy. Not a great experience, unfortunately.

Over priced Food poor Service well what service Very little space Lots of people saying how rubbish the food was We spent £200 on crap Never again Burger king better

Had a lovely breakfast in this cafe with my daughter and son in law. All served piping hot and cooked very well, bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, egg, beans, tomatoes and toast! A large cup of tea to finish off! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Good menu choices too!

We had a trip over to Hornsea and decided to call in here for breakfast as we had our dog with us. The cafe is dog friendly, you are asked to stay on the laminate floor if you have a dog which makes sense to us. The full English breakfast was lovely, both my wife and I enjoyed it along with a grand cup of tea, the staff were very friendly and helpful. When we come back over here we will call again. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Had roast lunch and cottage pie recently. Vegetables were really hot and cooked just right. Meat portions were generous and potatoes, roast and mash were good. I also visit regularly with girlfriends and the meals are consistently good. The only problem for me as a hearing aid wearer is when the coffee machine is steaming/frothing it is too noisy. Also, if seats are only available near the music source my friends give me the one furthest away.

My Husband and I had breakfast there this morning, very tasty and just right. Cafe clean and staff very friendly. Have been before but just for a cuppa. Will eat there again lovely.

We have been for breakfast here quite a few times in the past, and it's very pleasant but the only gripe i have is the music been too loud, it's off putting! We would probably come again if it was turned down.

We have visited Hornsea for the last 5 years and have always visited Café Mellar during our stay for our breakfasts each day. The food is fabulous and has always been that way but following our visit this year we will not be back. We found that we were ripped off when it came to paying our bill. We often had the same items to eat and drink daily but the prices varied each day and when we questioned the staff about the difference in charges compared to previous days we were told we had been charged the correct amount. The problem is we were not given receipts from Café Mellor to compare charges from previous days. We are so sorry that we will be unable to use the Café again due to their inconsistent prices which changed daily and will be looking for somewhere else to have our breakfasts when we visit again next year as the last day for us was the final straw!! We ordered a scrambled egg on toast, a small breakfast, one cup of tea and one cup of coffee and it came to £18.00 which was a large increase to what we had paid earlier that week for exactly the same breakfast. Our holiday was spoilt this year by being completely ripped off by this café and is the only reason that we will not be back.

We called in as we had seen the menu and it was not all chips and burgers. We Ordered a salad and a roast dinner. The pork was beautiful and the plentiful vegetables were hot fresh and firm . They had not stood stewing in water. I am diabetic and do not need a lot of carbs and was able to have no Yorkshire pudding and mashed potatoes (had the roast!!) and to have more vegetables instead. Lovely Excellent friendly service and clean toilet. Well recommended.

Visiting friends in Hornsea we booked to attend a themed evening and we were not disappointed. We paid £20 each and got to sample a fabulous selection of foods from around the med including arancini, stuffed onions, lamb with fennel and a whole host of other dishes . There were good vegetarian options for the vegetarians in our party and the desserts were fabulous. Being able to bring our own wine made for a very cheap evening. The staff were all really friendly and accommodating.

Dog friendly which was lovely. Great selecetion of various foods for everyone, from snacks to full meals. We all really enjoyed. The evening feature meal sounded amazing. Good price and lovely friendly prompt service

Lovely food and staff. We went twice on a long weekend away at new year. Took our little dog in and she was welcomed. We will be back

Called in on a Sunday morning for breakfast.

Just what we needed after a blustery walk along Hornsea Sea front. Nice sandwiches - reminds me of what your mum would make for you - good wholesome food. Love the memorabilia Would return.

The cautious eater is a day out with his sister,Sue. She lived leeds way and we've got a day spare to catch up on things. I'm wanting to see some new places so have ended up in Hornsea. One pub opens at 4, the other is missing a chef. Ho hum. Got to mellars' at half one and background music is Quo. Good start then some AC/DC. I had lasagne with garlic bread,Sue baked potato with cajun chicken, drink a very nice mocha. It was a very good pit stop and only at the end saw the cream cakes with lots of proper cream. £1.60 for a fruit scone with jam. Cautious eater heaven!

We come back many times because they have the best english breakfast in Hornsea. Staff are friendly and help us with any special particular requests. I felt spoiled. Thanks xxx

Cafe Mellar is a good place for a brew. They have a nice food menu and are dog friendly. They redecorated the inside since the last time I had a visit, it looks good.

Very inexpensive and a good variety to choose from all home made ample portions choose anything from a salad t o meat pie or roast dinner

Llamado en uno de domingo para un café, el olor de la comida maravillosa nos hizo estancia para el almuerzo. Excelente selección de comidas y la señora a cargo era precioso. Tenía una patata chaqueta preciosa como yo soy vegetariano y mi compañero tenía una hamburguesa y patatas fritas.

Caminar en una mañana agradable y cálido en yorkshire Hornsea. Visité un establecimiento agradable llamado Café Mellars. Yo y mi familia nos recibieron en un cálido y amigable bienvenida. Con una selección de excelentes comidas, tartas y té me decidí a probar a veces 'inconsistente'...

Día en familia en Hornsea y tropezamos con este café, y tengo que decir que como desayuno y personal este está en la cima de nuestra lista de recomendado y un placer bien gracias chicos A+.

Mi esposa y yo fuimos al Café Mellar. Sólo tenía un hermoso desayuno esta mañana. El personal es encantador y amable. Volveremos de nuevo

Went with my family for mega breakfast big plate full very tasty and served quickly . Lets keep it local . One problem no highchair

gloomy atmosphere, dire nursing home food (cottage pie & veg). One redeeming feature was pleasant waitress who went off duty while I was there leaving me to the "charms" of lady I took to be the owner/manager.Pointing out how bad the food was elicited no surprise, but if looks could kill.....

For the older residents of Pudsey ,a suburb of Leeds, they still claim independence from its Big Brother.The majority of shops today appear to be either hair dressers or fast food thereby losing most of their independent identity. One such independent was a family owned fresh food shop with its own bakery situated on the corner of Richardshaw Lane and Cemetery Road.The last and only owner, one David Ward,(a.k.a. to the local community as 'Dave The Bread') left in the early 90's when the business closed and he moved to the quiet East Yorkshire coastal resort of Hornsea.(Yes,you've guessed it,the bakery business is now a hairdressers!)After looking after the local Floral Hall David and his wife Molly now own 'The Cafe Mellar' on the towns main street.New Begin.The have.as they did in Pudsey,built a very good quality based business.The food is as you would expect ,honest ,home cooked ,offering excellent value and well wort a visit.David and Molly have enhanced the Hornsea dining choice on their way there from "THE ROAD TO PUDSEY"

Very accommodating homely atmosphere with 'good grub'! We visited with our granddaughters who thoroughly enjoyed their sausage sandwich and burger (one each!!!) and my husband and I also enjoyed beef burgers. Not the most smartest place in town but it offers everything one would want for a coffee break or lunch.

Came in with my family noticed it was a cafe were they serve you looked at menus decided what was going to be ordered ect and half hour passed my kids started to kick off as they was getin hungry and we had still not been served so i asked when can i order please was told 5 mins you think ok can do that then theres no one around there all in kitchen no one taking monies ect so by then afew other people had come in and had been served ordered and got food and drink so asked again got a very rude lady so told her its unacceptable and the rest and left and i wasn't the only ones thank god for Harpers down the street!

Really enjoyed our lunch very tasty and plenty of it. The staff were friendly and the price was good.

Called in for lunch. It had been busy and some of the tables had not been cleared. There were still quite a few tables being used. Service was a little slow but food was ok. This didn't put us off , we will go back maybe before it gets too busy.

We regularly dine here. The staff are wonderful. You get the old fashioned traditional service. Not like a busy modern establishment. This is rare in this day and age. It makes your visit a much better and pleasant visit.The chips and quiche are to die for. It is so tasty, well worth trying. The choice you have of various meals , snacks , sanwiches ect. Is really extensive. They will also tailor things to suit your taste, or dietry needs.Nothing is ever too much trouble.If you are looking for a wonderful eatery, that serves traditional home cooked food, then this is the place to go.

We were walking through the centre of Hornsea and saw the sign dogs welcome, so we felt we should support such a rareaty. We just had coffee and a bun but have since returned for lunch which we enjoyed. It is an old fashioned cafe, warm and comfortable, the staff are very friendly. the food appearing very quickly. Our dog was confined to the laminate area at the front which was fine as there was plenty of room, the back of the cafe has carpet to make it more comfortable.Whilst there, a lady in a wheelchair entered and was helped by the staff to find a place, so it is certainly wheelchair friendlyWe will certainly visit again.

Intended eating here but out off by the smell of dogsHad to walk round 3 before we could actually get to the counter and the smell was very off putting sadly so just Had coffees as didn't want to just walk out Not a dog hater at all but the smell wasn't good, nothing wrong with the coffee or staff

Lovely surroundings, great objects d'art and very friendly people serving.I had a bacon sandwich. The bread was very dried up and there were just two slices of nicely cooked bacon. I wouldn't select this again, but then maybe I fell unlucky with the bread cake.My partner had a fried egg and mushroom sandwich. Plenty of egg, loads of nice sliced mushrooms but it was a little greasy. She wanted a fried egg and butter, so it is, hardly therefore, a surprise.The coffee was very nice indeed, 'fresh bean to cup' although my cappuccino, owing to the milk froth, was disappointingly only a half cup of liquid.Yes we would go again and would recommend but; do please be aware of what it is you are ordering

Having a terrible cold this morning I wasn't able to go out for breakfast. My husband called at Cafe Mellar for two bacon butties. They were delicious and made up for having a revolting lemsip. My husband said the service was friendly and helpful and the decor quaint.

I so wanted to like cafe mellar ..but Both my wife and I were unhappy with our lunches..greasy undercooked breakfast and an under filled expensive sandwich. Decor in desperate need of a freshen up and clean.

Very hospitable cafe that let us take our dog in. Coffee and cake were served with a smile and friendly chatter

Lovely little café, very friendly and efficient staff and they serve a really great breakfast. Would definitely go back again.

We popped into this cafe last week and were impressed. We both had breakfasts which alongside everything else came with black pudding and really excellent sausages. Great value too and the service was quick and efficient.

We recently visited here when we were in Hornsea for the week. It has a very nice oldy worldly feel. Very varied menu with something for everyone on there. Food tasted very fresh and tasty. Service was with a smile. Would return if in the area again.

Me and my brother go in 2 to 3 times a week on our lunch for the crispy chicken wraps and iv got to say they are delicious even friends of mine have been in to try them after my recommendation n even they have got hooked really nice place to go lovely friendly staff 5*

Popped in on late Sunday morning food and service was ok but could of been better had to wait ages to pay the bill

These guys do one of the best breakfasts in Hornsea. The service is great and the sausages are superb. Well worth a visit.....

The prices are very reasonable here, and they sell lovely desserts, but we find that the mains are okay here but not outstanding. We had the Sunday roast, and the meat was lovely, but the vegetables overcooked, the mash a bit on the lumpy side, and it was not very hot. However, their Thai fishcakes are gorgeous!

I like this little café, it has a homily feel and very good value meals. They will give you want you want big or small and the food is very nicely done with plenty of it. Someone mentioned no cash machine nearby, there is one just across the road outside the bank. Music can be playing at times and if they have it they will play a tape for you that you like. In winter there is an open fireplace with a very convincing authentic fire unit that can get very warm. Shame about the rest room being shared but it would take away some space to make two. Yes, nice little café with a homily feel.

I ordered the hot roast pork with stuffing and apple sauce sandwich; just what I needed after a long walk in the surrounding countryside. The joint was good quality pork served on a generous sized bap with side salad. The café itself is quirky inside, though I personally appreciated the LPs displayed on the rails! Good value for money with my mug of tea and the aforesaid sandwich coming to just over £6. Though I didn't try one, the range of home made cakes and puddings looked very good indeed.

Chilled with a large Americano and the best "well done" bacon sandwich I've had in a while as the bacon was perfectly done and the bread was soft and fresh.

Popped in on a busy Saturday afternoon for a hot sandwich. Two bacon and sausage sandwiches ordered and a nice surprise when opening the box as there was plenty in them,the bread was very fresh, and the ingredients were of good quality. Very individual style to the cafe. Will return when in the area again.

been here many times mainly for take away sandwiches, had the occasional breakfast in the café area great value for money cooked brilliantly

Just the place for tea and slabs of cake. Hornsea is a lovely town with lots of great coffee shops and this is one of them. Near one of the entrances to the park.

Quite surprised to see the cafe refurbished, still traditional tea room but brighter and refreshed. The food was lovely and well priced and the service was quick and friendly. Wide selection available, we had lovely fresh crusty cheese salad rolls, followed by gorgeous homemade cakes, including incredible chocolate cake. A pot of tea gave 2 big cups and the latte was really good. All this and a very reasonable bill.

Went in for a quick meals and had a summer special - choice of three items. Warm mackerel salad with saute potato salad which had unfortunately been sold out of even though it was only 12 noon, Gammon chips and peas with either egg or pineapple which my husband had, and scampi with salad which I had. These were all £4.99. Tea with teapot which gave 3 cups full was £1.30 and coffee was £1.85. The café was relatively wheelchair accessible but not sure whether it had accessible toilet. Service was friendly and efficient.One thing to bear in mind is that they only take cash. Our bill came to £13.13 and we only had just over £14 between us so we just had enough. It would have been helpful if they had put a notice on the door or menu to say cards not accepted so people are prepared, especially as there is no cash machine nearby where you can get money out in a hurry!

While several other eateries near Hornsea's super museum close at 1600 or 1700, Cafe Mellar was still serving when we left the museum and went in search of a drink and a cake. The friendly staff served up just what was wanted, including a slice of "roadworks chocolate cake" - new to me but I'd certainly go for it again! Cafe Mellar deserves to be on TripAdvisor and I hope this first review will encourage others to try them.
