Cooplands Orchard Cafe in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited Orchard Cafe with my sister for lunch on Saturday 21st March and could no believe what we where served. We both asked for a Tuna Melt which we have had on several occasions at Cooplands and has always been good. When it came it was just HALF a sandwich just 1 slice of bread with salad and crisps. We could not believe it. We have never been served half a sandwich before at any cafe. No wonder the place was virtually empty with only a few tables taken. This was a Saturday at 1.30. and should have bee very busy.

First confusion was signs & menus stated pick a table & tell the order taker the number of your table - no numbers on the tables. We ordered Veggie breakfast and soup & roll. Definitely asked for veg soup, but carrot & coriander arrived. Food seemed to takeca long timevto arrive. Soup was microwaved to lava hot for some reason . The veggie breakfast had what looked like microwaved frozen Quorn sausages, they were hot, but looked very unappetising. Small plate with average portion. A little more care needed by kitchen staff with regard to wrong soup order & not great cooking techniques

Called in for some of their famous cheese straws. Served hot, 6 for £1.50p, so 25p per straw, well worth the money, ideal as a snack

Visited on a busy Saturday. The food was fantastic, better than ever. Great customer service and lovely atmosphere.

1st Day Open, was a disaster no organisation, not enough staff and unreliable rude and not fully understand the order from the customer!

You can’t fault this place for its food or drinks, but they defo haven’t got to grips with COVID-19 measures, yeah signs are up and sanitizer units, but cleaning of tables is far far behind. The public were using tables which hadn’t been cleared therefore not sanitised either. You need more staff to get on top of this and members of the public need to ask for tables to be sanitised before use then the issue might get highlighted. This situation is all new but there are cafes we have visited and they are welol in front of this one when it comes to feeling safe.

Excellent dinner Proper pastry on the pie Serving staff very pleasant and helpful Great view to people watch Two dinners and pot of tea £15 excellent value for money in my opinion

went for lunch meat tasted of cleaning products roast potatoes fried not roasted jacket potatoes over cooked salad was old and very expensive give this one a miss

Almost at the end of one of my walkabouts, so called in for a cuppa and a toasted teacake. Quick efficient service, pleasant staff. A good cuppa too!

Went into the cafe I ordered a large breakfast, was cooked to perfection, customer service was friendly welcoming made to feel welcome would visit again. Recommned to visit.

If you’ve read any of my previous reviews, you know what I do for a living. My biggest bug bear is cold or Luke warm food.We both had the large breakfast, we were served promptly with friendly staff. There was plenty to choose from and it all looked very good. The tables, floors, toilets and visible food areas were all spotlessly clean. So far a five star score.Sorry guys but you lose 2 stars for only just warm food. The only thing that was piping hot was the hash browns. Clearly your not hot holding food at or over 63 degrees, or if you are, you can’t leave it sat so long before the meals go out.Other than that, it’s not too bad. Would return but maybe for a salad!!

After a very long wait some insipid food arrived the standard is a very long way from how it was years ago the staff are all very young with no obvious management so on a food/service front this fails on all counts.

Don't cater for children as to bigger portions. No cappuccino just watery coffee that's undrinkable. Sunday dinner is small. Yorkshire pudding was cold. And very slow to get served. 2/10

Great little place to slow down from the bustle of the high street, sit down, and enjoy some food and a cuppa.

This is a no frills place, where you get your own cutlery and condiments, having said that if you sit in the window seats you have a good view of the town which is good for people watching. The staff were pleasant and the bacon sandwiches that we had were nice enough, the toilets were clean, handy to pop if you are in town.

Awful place, unfriendly staff, slow service, overpriced and not particularly clean. Food verging on poor to average, tbh rubbish. Wish I'd have saved my money,could have had a better meal at McDonald's.

We enjoyed a lovely breakfast,the vegetarian breakfast went down really well with my wife,the staff were also very nice I will be returning soon.

Popped in for food from shopping and it is the last time we come here the food is horrible the fish just taste like water the women that brought our food over slammed it on the table I'm really disappointed the only thing they got right was the bread and butter, 2 hot chocolates and a pot of tea we won't be coming here to eat again

Went for a snack whilst shopping , good selection of cakes . I asked for a cheese melt , but was told that plain cheese melts are not included in the offer with a hot drink £5.95, only cheese melts with ; tuna , mushroom or peperoni , which didnt seem to make much sense , as I was asking for a cheaper plain version. Instead I had to get a toasted sandwhich and separate drink . Not great customer service, maybe a training issue ? I had to take the coffee back too as it was really weak .

Visited today for a quick lunch. staff were so cheerful and really helpful. lovely ladies that helped me and friends decide to have the chips cheese and gravy plus the odd pie. will come again next time I am in Scarborough.

Found this lovely restaurant situated above a bakers in the shopping precinct and visited a few times during our stay for breakfast. Friendly staff and good choice of breakfast dishes make for a lovely experience and set us up for the day.

We came here last September it was beaut came today for a large breakfast & what a waste of money the beans were dried up the egg was hard they also butter your toast before they bring it out so as I have health issues I could not eat it . The I carnt be bothered attitude of the staff reflected in the food & service so after driving 1.45 hrs for a great brekky I’ll not bother again

I was looking for somewhere to have breakfast before 9 am and I noticed Cooplands Cafe was open and I was not disappointed. The server was pleasant and friendly and I decided to have the full English with a free tea/coffee. I got 2 sausages, 2 rashers of bacon. beans, a fried egg and wholemeal toast with a pot of tea. It was tasty and freshly cooked and served within 10 minutes of ordering. The restaurant is clean and bright and window views over the Brunswick centre. It also has toilets. The only negative comment would be it is accessible by stairs which might not suit the less mobile.

Good home cooked basics. Excellent value for money. Pleasant staff and good helpings. No disabled access but otherwise spot on.

Went for lunch whilst sales shopping in Scarborough. The cafe is up a flight of stairs. The tables are very close together and we felt squashed in at our table. The cafe does not serve decaffinated tea. I ordered a mushroom omelette, when it arrived it was a preprepared omelette folded in half with some mushrooms tucked inside. It should really have been described as an omelette with some mushrooms rather than a mushroom omelette. Disappointing lunch. There are much nicer eating establishments in Scarborough than this old fashioned cafeteria.

Ordered a beef diner at 1245 to be told 5 minutes later they had no Yorkshire puddings and offered no replacement yet wanted to charge price for something that was not complete. Will logging a complaint to cooplands

Called for a quick bite to eat, the place was just about empty so thought we would get our food quickly. 20 mins for a v cuppa and a sandwich is not quick. Service is friendly and the choice of food good. Worth a visit

Very clean and pleasant looking cafe, alday breakfasts and drinks plus various meals throughout the day, good prices and friendly staff, highly recomend and we,ll be making this our meal stop each visit

Me and my partner called in here for our breakfast last weekend whilst walking around, good location in the town centre, food and staff very nice and the price of two breakfasts was also very good, a great place to eat

A nice clean cafe which offers a wide range of foods/snacks. Ideally located in the centre of Scarborough, great for a bite to eat. I work there so I am biased!!

All the other good reviews are truthful. That's really all I can add to the positive comments! As an ex cafe owner I'm picky sometimes, this place isn't perfect but it's pretty good !

Very nice food all fresh do a varied menu, breakfasts,sandwiches,cakes quiche and varied different meals also kids meals

Called in the Orchard Cafe for the first time while on holiday in Scarborough. Cafe was very clean and staff friendly and helpful.

Was passing and noticed the cafe. Popped in for lunch on the Saturday and the beef and onion sandwich was lovely, and a pot of tea. Whilst my friend enjoyed her bacon sandwich. Staff were friendly. Came back the next day for breakfast and had the traditional breakfast. Couldn’t fault the food.

We called for lunch whilst shopping, on a sunny but cold day. The window seats were nice and warm, where you can 'people watch'. I chose quiche with salad, this was cheese + onion and came with coleslaw. Hubby had a hot beef + onion bap, this also had salad with it. Both meals were tasty and just enough for a light lunch, Lattes were the drinks of choice today. The loos are small but sufficient, The chairs at the top of the stairs are handy waiting for the loo or just for a breather after tackling the steps.

The Orchard cafe in Scarborough is an excellent cafe with very friendly staff. The cafe is very clean, the food is always hot and fresh the bakery is also spotless and a great display and choice of bread and cakes. Just wish they would open one in manchester city centre. Can and will recommend this cafe to anyone and everyone

We arrived at this busy cafe on a bitterly cold December day, and enjoyed good hearty food, which was very tasty and well presented.

Wonderful service from all of the staff, polite but very professional. The food was delicious as ever, a nice large breakfast with a strawberry milkshake is my favourite dish!! Will definitely be returning (again!).

Me and my wife visited here for lunch on Wednesday 15th November, and ordered the all day breakfast, and steak pie and chips. Service was slow, and every item on the breakfast (except hash browns) was cold. The sausage was like rubber, and the toast must have been made ages before we ordered. Worst tomatoes ever - like a red mush. The chips were not very nice and they were coated in an awful thick dark gravy.

Had some great sandwiches they were very nice and a lovely toasted teacakes after, the staff were very nice

We had lunch in here one Sunday whilst visiting Scarborough. Sadly, although they were serving Sunday lunches there wasn't anything suitable for vegetarians so I opted for the cheese and onion quiche which was very nice. My husband enjoyed his meal and said his meat was very tender. The staff were very friendly, the cafe was clean and it had good views of the street below.

One of the many Secret Gardens in this neck of the woods, and it is just what you would expect! A fairly wide, if somewhat standard, range of food and drink, that doesn't require a mortgage to buy! The staff are always friendly and helpful, there seems to be a special breed of 'Secret Garden' ladies! The secret of the 'Secret Garden' is you know just what to expect, no matter the location, and that's not to be sneezed at!

Found this on our last morning but would definitely have returned. Nice fresh food, good portions and very reasonably priced. Staff were happy and very friendly.

Had a lovely brunch here with my partner. The tables near the windows are always a great thing -if you manage to get one- but unfortunately, with being so high demand, we didn't make one this time. Never the less it didn't ruin our appetite! The large breakfast was marvellous and I would definitely recommend the milkshakes! I will definitely come visit this cafe again.

Called here for a late lunch, we each had a differently filled omelette, they were delicious, filling and presented in an attractive manner, served with a good side salad

My wife and doing some shopping whilst in Scarborough Town Centre. We just fancied a sandwich and drink and were not disappointed. The service was a little slow but the place was very busy and when it came the food and drink were very good.John Hardy

a very busy cafe lovely food and coffee great cakes. had the offer with a sandwich and a drink for very little extra.

been to this cafe loooaaaads of times since I'm based in the Scarborough area, just felt like writing some reviews for TripAdvisor! either way let's get on with it.the overall look of the cafe could do with a touch up bit it's not dirty or anything it's quite simple cheap food at a decent enough price, certain items on the menu are very good but most is just just cheap slop which is sound enough as far as I'm concerned but then again I've never been a fussy eater, if ur not looking for a quick pick me up then I'd suggest going elsewherestaff are sound enough, never had any issues, friendly etc, cakes are nice, tea and coffee is pretty straight forward, it's tea and it's coffee! nowt special, think tht somes up the place as far as I'm concerned, nowt specialoh yeh and very quick, I've put solo on the type of visit but I've been with family and with friends and on my own, like I say been to this place loads of times

Popped in for a snack, kids peckish. Lovely selection of items. Family Apple pie was delicious which we had after supper! Kids had cornflakes cakes which went down well. Staff friendly.

We normally come to Scarborough on a Thursday but after a lifetime of working weekends and having just both retired thought lets go today a Sunday. Our usual haunt was closed and hubby didn't fancy going back down to seafront. Saw this place and thought will give it a try. Sorry we won't be coming back. Had the fish and chips, well what else do you eat at the seaside ? Anaemic batter and frozen thin chips. Only plus was the price 2 meals for 8.50. The other meals on display ie pies etc looked dried up. Wished I had gone with hubby,s suggestion of calling in at The Wetherby Whaler at York.

Lovely fresh cooked food and very clean looks out over town as it is upstairs staff very friendly good location in town centre

Fantastic breakfast as normal. Queried what main meals were available for my wife who has a dairy allergy. The assistant very kindly got their allergy details for all their meals. Not only did she advise what was available, but offered to adjust meals should we want them. We always have fantastic service here and this was just another friendly and helpful offer. We will be back.

Nice British cuisine. Tasty food. Dishes the most famous there is English breakfast, roast beef and loads of variety of lunches with yorkshire puddings. Prices are not high and service is good. I recommend this restaurant for tourists and holiday visitors of Scarborough

The cafe was full but did not have to wait long for a seat.Service was good.We had a coffee and cake which was good value for money

We decided to try the roast beef roast as it appeared to be well priced. Big mistake. Food was delivered to our table on what I'd describe as kids party plastic plates. The beef was wafer thin, cold and chewy. The gravy was about as thick as oil and absolutely smothered everything. One roast potato, an ice cream scoop of smash and what looked like a ten week old yorkshire pudding. I left it all and ate elsewhere.....it looks like a very well kept cafe decoratively but the food is woeful..

Good quick service from a young team - plenty of smiles and warm service. Meat feast pasty wasn't a feast - great flaky pastry but hard to spot a meat feast filling. Yorkshire curd tarts are good with plenty of currents. Reasonable prices.

This is a simple straight forward British Cafe style although above greasy spoon standard. Nothing spectacular but nothing particularly wrong either.Has a variety of hot and cold meals on offer and seemed to be popular. Not somewhere we would go out of our way to revisit but if in need of simple food and drink it is there.There are a few steps up the the cafe itself and then the toilets are upstairs again so maybe not for those with walking issues.

ok breakfast as wasnt included in our hotel stay, drinks are pricey, especially cold drinks cans etc, breakfast was ok, but nothing to get carried away about!

My husband and I went to this cafe as there were two meals for £8.50. You could have other things but we liked the fish and chips which came with peas and a little bit of salad and bread and butter too, which I think was very good value for the money. It was very tasty and kept us going until we went back to our hotel for dinner.

West ordered the large breakfast and eggs,chips and beans. Both came after just a few ,inches wait and we're piping hot. The food was lovely and good sized portions, even asking if we wanted 1 or 2 eggs. Very busy and lots of locals used it so to us this showed it was a decent place with great food. Would definitely go to again.

this used to be a really good place to eat fantastic sausage- chips -beautiful gravy etc.It has sadly deteriorated over the years and now seems to serve cheap tasting everything!The chips in particular are revolting and leave a bad taste.The Steak pie which used to be good is now tasteless blosh!We just stick to the quiche and cakes-which are still good.big queues while waiting to collect your cups of tea do not help as your food is getting cold while waiting for the server to go between the till and drinks. It is cheap so I suppose you get what you pay for.Still no excuse for poor quality food.

Wanted a quick breakfast whilst on the go shopping. Was really nice, came quick and was pretty tasty. Not reinventing the wheel here, it was breakfast....would definitely come again, cakes looked good but we didn't get one, next time maybe

please walk past this place the breakfasts are tiny for the price. travel down the road to sunnys for a much nicer breakfast. or onto Aberdeen walk to bus stop! served and a very small plate. bacon and sausage was greasy egg looked off.

Visited in September 16. Came here as our usual café was not open for some reason. Food was great. Large breakfast, 2 rounds of toast and tea or coffee for £4.65 (see picture). Staff very helpful.

We ate at this cafe on 30th October and what a disappointment it was! We were charged for tea and coffee when the sign outside said this was free with breakfast if ordered before 11:00, which it was. The staff were polite and refunded us when we brought this to their attention. We ordered the full English breakfast which was lukewarm when it arrived and the bacon was so overcooked it no longer resembled bacon! This was the worst breakfast we have eaten (or not eaten) and we left feeling sick!

Went here on a Sunday afternoon (2pm) looking for a quick lunch. There was myself, my husband and our baby in a pushchair. After carting the pushchair up the stairs (no lift so no disability access) we got a table in the 3/4 empty restaurant. It was self serve and although I spotted 4 or 5 members of staff - not one served me for quite some time. All seemed to be bothered about clearing away and getting rid of the food. I heard one of the staff say "well that's what you get for it being Sunday afternoon!" Even though there was 2 hours to closing!!! We were unable to have our 1st/2nd/3rd choice so just went for what was available.... not much choice!! Food was ok. Nothing special. Whilst we were eating the staff moved some chairs to cordon off the area we were sat in - so we were trapped! Made it really awkward to move the chairs and get out with the pushchair. We felt very rushed/unwanted/annoyed! We soon ate up and left - will not be going back in a hurry.

good meals at an affordable price, very clean and tidy. toilets are up some stairs but clean, large eating area

We have used similar Cooplands cafes before and they are always good value.This one was no exception.A varied selection of hot or cold meals are available.Also there are various meal deals including drinks etc and a good kids menu.The same company have also got the Secret Garden 100 yards along the street.GOOD VALUE !!!

Not the usual place we visit but wanted a "fry up" English breakfast. We had tried a couple of other places but they stopped that particular dish at 11!Well it was cheap, my partner liked the tea the food was in all honesty OK but only because it was cheap. Would we go again probably not, sorry.The staff were polite, oh and the toast was excellent.

Situated in the town centre. Offers great value meals. I had steak pie and chips, my wife a quiche and salad. Both very good. Nice laid back atmosphere with pleasant staff. Window tables offer an interesting view of a town centre junction.

Ok, nothing special. Steak pie contained kidney which should have been stated as not everyone likes kidney, it was advertised as a steak pie.

I challenge anyone to try the four sausage rolls for a pound they are delicious but being a big lad like me the cheese straws are also irresistable

Always service with a smile, good prices and good simple food. Absolutely Spotless and the staff are really helpful

This is a cafe we visit on a regular basis. It is situated right in the middle of the main street, above Cooplands bakery and if you can get a window seat, has interesting views of the main street and great for people watching.Food is from the bakery below and always fresh. Today we had quiche with salad coffee and a vanilla slice. All very delicious. The cafe does not serve chips etc.

just spent a night in "the Royal" and they wouldnt let me have the breakfast I had payed for saved the day !!

A super upstairs cafe in the centre of Scarborough where you can while away the time watching the world go by on the busy streets below. Good value for money, lots of special offers, friendly staff and a clean environment.

A great choice of menu in clean surroundings. Friendly staff which go that extra mile. Small things like asking if we wanted black coffee as it came or with added hot water, I've never been asked this any where else and sometimes it's too strong. The forth Cooplands cafe we have visited and certainly wont be the last.

On our visit we found The Orchard had friendly staff, who were only too happy to help and advise us.We had a breakfast but I did look at the menu and there was a good choice for lunch or light snacks. There was also offers on the menu for a hot drink and cake. We had lovely, hot and tasty food.Excellent service

we popped in here for lunch as our usual cafe was closed for winter holiday. great choice of meals and extremely good value for money. cafeteria style service, with some meals cooked to order. i picked a ham salad from the fridge (which was beautifully put together) and my husband had pie and chips from the hot plate. pot of tea for 2 and total bill was £12 ish. very good value. as its owned and run by Cooplands bakery, the cakes and deserts were scrummy! we will be back!

My mum and I visit here nearly every week for breakfast while we are in town shopping. The food is lovely and the staff are welcoming and friendly.

Usually visit about once per week for lunch. Pie and chips with gravy and veg plus a pot of tea works out about £11. Food is generally good and not too expensive.

wholesome good value food , well worth a visit and so clean and friendly, could do with the food on a larger plate it was hard for gravy to stay on plate and no room for veg

Called in for breakfast. Only one person serving. After waiting for a while beside the hot food counter the staff member who was on duty providing drinks & taking payment shouted to us that we had to move along as we weren't standing where the sign was to order food. There was no sign & she shouted to another staff member to put the sign up. We gave up & left

Nice, British cafe. Very cheap. Very clean.All the usuals - teas, coffees, teacakes, bacon butties.Popular with OAPS - but don't let that put you off.

We called in for Sunday lunch, which was very good the roast beef was delicious, as was the rest of our meals, chicken and ham pie was also very good.The café is very pleasantly decorated and immaculately clean, with helpful and friendly staff.Portions are not overly generous, but sufficient, especially if you want to try one of their excellent deserts.You order your food and then it is brought to the table for you.

We visit Scarborough each year and always pop into orchard cafe for pie and chips which is always delicious. Staff are friendly and the place is always clean.

Good variety on menu, and best custard tarts. Toilets could be bigger and better. Stairs up to restaurant, not sure if they have a lift access. Didnt have a meal, just coffees and cakes.

We had our mandatory visit to Cooplands on Sunday before leaving Scarborough. It has been decorated since our last visit and looks great.I had the old faithful of a piece of Yorkshire Curd Tart and a milky coffee, great.The rest of the group opted for the Homemade Leek and Potato soup, everyone enjoyed and now realise why we enjoy visiting this place so much.Tables clean, service good and always friendly, it is also very good value.

Lovely fresh cooked food, shame about only having filter coffee and the only option, shame its tucked away out of sight but worth hunting down

We visited for lunch this Saturday as it is in a good location in the town centre. There was a good range on offer and we both decided for the fish and chips at £4.99 which included bread and butter, A tea was £1.40 and a regular soda 79p.The prices were good and there were plenty of seats available so we were quite happy with our choice, until it was delivered to our table.I suppose we've been spoilt in the past at the Seaside in that fish and chips has always been a staple on menus and is usually always well cooked and tasty.Unfortunately the fish was very small and most of it consisted of batter. The content was not much bigger than if they had cooked a goldfish and you literally had to wade through the batter to find a peice of fish, so neither of us were impressed with our choice.On the positive side the chips, peas and bread were nice, the Staff were pleasant and the meal was delivered to out table without a long wait. Other items on the menu looked ok and the sandwiches looked nice. I would suggest avoiding the fish but everything else looked okay

very nice food okay prices, served quick and staff are helpful, nice and cosy, warm enough just doesn't have a disabled access.

Awful meal covered in gel like substance purporting to be gravy. Tasteless rubbish not fit for the dustbin. Not cheap either.

You can't beat this simple but really lovely cafe. Excellent food and very good value. We only went for tea but wish we had been ready for a meal.

staying in scarborough for the weekend we wandered into the main shopping area and decided we needed a drink and a snack.we were staying in a wonderful guest house which had served a great english breakfast so certainly did not want or need a full lunch. As it was after 2pm you could have a coffee or pot of tea plus a fresh cream scone for £2 from the specials listed.We decided on tea for two and a cream scone each...did what we wanted and most enjoyable too.very pleasant staff and very clean and comfortable surroundings.We visited twice it was so good!! we will certainly go again when we next spend time in scarborough.

I love Cooplands - my favourite bakery! Their currant squares are exqusite! Good Yorkshire food in the cafe.

This upstairs café is very clean, spacious, well decorated and excellent for looking down on the busy town centre junction below from the many window tables. The menu is quite extensive and extremely well priced.My selection was the large all day breakfast (£4.95). Brought to the table in hardly any time at all, the meal consists of 2 sausages, 2 rashers of bacon, 2 hash browns, black pudding, fried bread, fried egg, tomato (not for me, so I was offered mushrooms instead), baked beans and 2 whole slices of buttered toast (1 white, 1 brown). The food is very tasty, well presented, hot and tremendous value for money. Well worth the short flight of steps.Oh, and if you go before 11:00 you get a free tea or coffee!How do they do that?
