Eat Me Cafe in Scarborough

Great food just the thing before going to the theatre

Catered for me brilliantly as I'm a coeliac and lactose intolerant. Staff friendly, helpful and food was lovely.

Excellent vegan food. Definitely coming back. Prices reasonable too. Many thanks

This place is amazing. Coffee, food, service and atmosphere is just perfect. We ate most things off the menu during our holiday and it was all 5 stars

THE best meal I’ve eaten out since I have been gluten free. Baked Mac and cheese with chicken breast and garlic bread was simply divine. My partner had the cottage pie which he said was absolutely amazing. Definitely comping back, great service and stunning food

Good place to hang out with pal's n delicious food

Delicious lunch with such an amazingly extensive menu. Shame many of the specials were no longer available by the time we arrived. And my husband's ciabbata was missing one of the ingredients as they had run out so they substituted this for something else. Despite this, everyone enjoyed their dishes and the staff did their best to accommodate our weird or wonderful dietary requests!!! Shame there are no starters on offer but main courses were really yummy so it didn't matter too much. No desserts either so we had an ice cream on the seafront. Very happy to recommend and will definitely go back when we return to Scarborough.

Brought our mate with us from Lancashire. We hadn't booked a table but that did not matter. We where able to push two tables together with help of staff. We had amazing service, cannot high recommend the staff enough. The food and larger was absolutely amazing. The environment was very relaxed and so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Seems an absolute amazing play to work. This was my second visit and we will be back again.

Instead of our usual place we decided to try new and what a Find! Great people, great cocktails and the Thai food was especially good. Whole menu is extensive and just great food.

Excellent cafe with amazing food. Had Crispy chicken satay wrap with salad. Huge portions excellent value.

Friendly staff and delicious food. The interesting menu was what drew us to eat here and we weren't disappointed, it was hard to choose just one dish each! We enjoyed pork donburi (the pork was sooo crispy and good) and a flugelhorn burger. Good atmosphere and great drinks selection, we played a light board game whilst we waited for food and could have spent longer there if we didn't have an appointment to get to. Fun food, nice staff, good drinks.

Another fantastic meal. Staff were lovely and went above and beyond to serve myself and my nephew! Just which they were nearer to our house .. would go every week x

We came here for brunch on a Saturday and it was delicious! The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient! It’s a lovely venue too. We would definitely return if we were in Scarborough again.

I came here for a pre- gig snack. From the start, Angie was so friendly, helpful and professional and continued to be throughout my meal, answering any/every question or request. She's always so positive and goes the extra mile! She's a great Manager. The waiting staff were also very helpful and pleasant, especially Abby, who took my order& gave me my take away box! She explained the menu well &catered, (pardon the pun!), to my veggie needs ! My Garden Mushrooms, recommended by Abby, were yummy, the tomato and goats cheese bruschetta delicious, as was the Flat White coffee I took, to finish off my repast!! Thanks all for a super meal and excellent service in a very nice venue with a great vibe! Cheers! from Maggie, a very happy and satisfied customer! x

Absolutely delicious food we couldn’t fault anything! Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Definitely our favourite meal of the holiday.

Called in at 1pm on Wednesday for a couple of coffees, The staff were lovely however it took over 25mins for coffee to arrive, no food so not sure why it took so long. I would go back again so hope service is quicker next time

Love food , pay a little more but quality shows

Food is amazing and the retro atmosphere from the 1920s art deco theatre gives it a great buzz

Fabulous food, cute decor, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Brilliant highly recommend.

Really excellent gluten free options including crispy chicken, gf soy sauce and an actual wide selection of different gf beers (as opposed to the usual option of one bland beer!). The food is delicious and the staff are always really lovely. Does get quite busy so can be a good idea to book in advance. It might just be my favourite place to eat in the town. The long grain rice in the bento box was a particular highlight.

Absolutt herlig lunsj på en cafe vi fant via TripAdvisor. God mat, rolig cafe og hyggelige priser. Anbefales sterkt om du ikke må sitte på gateplan.

Love this place - generous portions, breakfast is a must and sets you up for the day, friendly and attentive service - menu has a lot of options with everything from burgers to Asian inspired dishes (get the chicken satay, unreal ! ) five stars and a MUST if you are in Scarborough. Pictured is the ‘Scotsman’ breakfast, already had munched the hash browns, and it’s massive ! Lovely stuff.

Have eaten here several times - breakfast and lunch. Generous portions, I think great value for money, nice coffee, quality cocktails later on too ! Staff are always friendly and helpful, people might complain it’s busy at times, especially before a show but surely that’s a sign of a good business. breakfast in the morning will keep you going (here’s the Scotsman breakfast - had already scoffed the hash browns and it’s a task even for a growing a lad!!) and set you up for the day ! Burgers are also top notch, and all the Asian inspired dishes, especially the chicken satay which is to die for. Excellent !!!!

Great service. Great atmosphere. Great Vegan options.

Great atmosphere in this cafe located within theatre building. We had a mixture of dishes from the Asian .menu, dumplings, rotis and donburi bowls. All were fresh, very tasty and good value. The service was friendly and welcoming. Really pleased we found this on our stay in Scarborough.

Good Service, very cool atmosphere and friendly service. A very nice place to eat in Scarborough

Fabulous find whilst we were exploring Scarborough. They were really friendly to our rather large dog and the number of vegan options was just amazing. Really delicious food. Such a shame we aren't locals as we'd be there all the time

A variety of exciting dishes, catering for coeliac diets too!

Fantastic cafe!! The staff are the loveliest. The food is fresh, amazing and everything on the menu is so tasty and wonderfully presented. The milkshakes are THE BEST!! Try the Choc & Hazelnut with Peanut butter...WOW!!! I 1000% recommend this place for food, atmosphere, service and the overall experience. This is my favourite in Scarborough

Lovely atmosphere. Had the chicken domburi with spicy sauce which was excellent.

A great place to take the family. Fantastic food and a relaxed atmosphere. The range and quality is good, and it's very reasonable. The staff are lovely and, according to my eldest, have a 'really good vibe'!

On recommendation, we opted for breakfast/brunch here. Friendly service, extensive menu for all diets. I had lovely poached eggs on smashed avocado and toast with siracha sauce. My partner had a breakfast sandwich. Both had juice and drinks. All very nice and friendly service. Definitely go back.

Great food,we had the rice bowl and i had spicy Asian sauce and they were right,it was hot and spicy. But loved it. The coffee was great too.

Great food and fantastic staff. All of the team are friendly and helpful. The food is very tasty and there is a great range of food on the menu. Being inside the SJT is a good way to eat and then go to the theatre.

We were recommended this place and it didn't disappoint. The staff were super friendly and helpful and there is a wide range of different foods in offer. The building itself is amazing. Thanks you and keep in doing what you do. Awesome 👍

My wife and me were at the theatre to see Daniel Kitson so were so pleased to be able to eat here before the show. First time and it is a lovely building. A great meal with very friendly and attentive staff. I had the chicken burger with fries and coleslaw. The fries were fantastic and burger very good. My wife has the vegan bento box. She really enjoyed the broth in particular. The gouzo and tempura were a little overcooked and dry so a slight mark down on full five star. Overall a very good meal and we will be back when we can. Highly recommended.

We were recommended this place and it didn't disappoint. The building itself is awesome (art deco cinema) and there is lots of food choices for all appetites.

Sorry to say that this restaurant gets worse every time I visit. Have given it benefit of the doubt and returned 3 times over the last year but have been left disappointed each time. I don’t even bother complaining any more as the feedback clearly isn’t used for improvement. I’ve had stale bread, brown and mushy salad leaves, black avocado and most recently reheated rubbery chicken breast which I couldn’t even chew. Want to love it here as I think the menu is great and staff are always lovely but the food quality and prep is getting worse.

Lovely Thai food nice and tasty, good value!! Would definately come back!! Hopefully more choice of cakes next time, they were popular so not too many left!!

Superb as ever x tasty twist of a Greek burger with the best fries ever and a chicken satay to die for amazing !! Always eat here when we in scar

Absolutely fabulous. Outstanding service by friendly staff. Delicious food, proper portions, clearly cooked with passion. Fair prices too. Highly recommend. Eating out in Scarborough? Avoid those nasty bland Italian chains and reheated ‘pub grub’ and come here instead. You be glad you did

Excellent meal. Had the greek burger followed by the best tiramisu I've ever eaten 👌. Staff are really welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back!.

Menu promised a lot but didn’t deliver. Meat was fatty and the texture was really off putting. Kids meal wasn’t cooked enough. Will not be back. Overpriced. Positives - Staff were really friendly though and the environment itself was nice.

I was really disappointed today Iv been coming here for years since it first opened And I moved away from Scarborough but I make sure I always come when I’m here Ordered the sloppy Joe which Iv had before and I loved it but this time. Like a chilli type of paprika dish It came and it was like eating dried unseasoned mincemeat to be totally honest with bland tomato sauce (but not Bolognese)it had a sauce but it just tasted of dried mincemeat. I don’t know if they have new staff or a new chef but never dissatisfied and disappointed Might come one more time to see if it was a bad day but will never order the sloppy Joe again. Been out off for life! 🤢😬

This restaurant is inside the theatre, which was unexpected. The staff are very friendly, and the food was delicious. The menu is really interesting

Very nice food and service but needed to take out a second mortgage to pay the bill 😅

Really lovely very nice staff made to feel welcome x

Great night out with friends. Food amazing, cocktails strong and sweet, staff friendly and attentive. PBJ Chicken Burger to kill for.

Had a great meal with friends this Friday last. Superb food, strong cocktails, friendly staff

Call before you go, or you might not be able to get any food...

Brilliant choice after tasty food.

Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere in a lovely setting the staff and owner's couldn't do enough to help was there with my 6 year old daughter they made plenty of her which really means a lot if your in Scarborough it's a must you go have an extensive menu something for everyone really is first class thank you 😊

We have been visiting Eat Me Cafe for a fair few years now since moving to Scarborough. It's the perfect place to meet friends for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or even for just a quick coffee and cake. I'm so impressed by the varied menu and the huge range of beers, wines and cocktails on offer. So far I have sampled breakfasts , lunches and dinners and each visit has always been excellent. The staff are always very friendly and informative. Me and my partner are vegetarian but there has always been a great choice of meals and snacks on offer. In fact most meat based dishes offer a vegetarian or vegan alternative. There are always some daily specials on offer too which are displayed on a retro large blackboard. The venue is inside the Stephen Joseph Theatre so it's right in the centre of Scarborough. The service is pretty quick and the staff always check in with you to make sure everything is OK. The portion sizes are generous and value for money. From bento boxes to hearty burgers there is something new to try each time you visit. The Eat Me Cafe is one of my favourite places to visit.... And our friends who have accompanied us have all agreed that it's a great place to wine and dine. Don't leave Scarborough without a visit to Eat Me Cafe... You won't be disappointed.

Had seen it was dog friendly and I was not disappointed staff were great and welling to me and my dog and the food was great just I had a small dish of chicken satay and fries which were both excellent. A suspect a little hidden gem

I make sure I come here every time I visit Scarborough. It was very busy last night, but the staff were attentive and friendly. The food, as ever, was amazing. I've never had a bad experience here.

Popped in for the first time tonight after nearly missing out as tried booking online and it didn't work at first. I'm glad I managed to call through to someone they managed to get me in last minute and had us seated 15 mins earlier than our booking time as we got there early. The staff could not be more helpful such friendly people and great service from everyone that served us throughout the night. The food was amazing for someone so fussy like me..(I had to ask for certain items removed from the dish and they did without question) Can honestly say not many places like this around here anymore we had such a good night and to top it off it was our 12th anniversary.. Cannot recommend this place enough and I'll be sure to add it to the monthly agenda. Thanks again to everyone there you made it a great night for us both. Reece.

Absolutely brilliant food in a lovely setting friendly staff top class a must to go for food when in Scarborough

Amazing food, decent beer selection. Best menu I've seen in a long time in the UK ! Bonus being close to Craft too! Well worth it and will be back! Thanks

Amazing lunchtime meal. I had an Asian curry and rice type meal and my son had Macaroni cheese with bacon. Large portions and lots of meat. Staff friendly and welcoming and a nice atmosphere. Food very reasonably priced. Will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent food and really great service.

i farted in here last time i was here

Great. Always fab food and service never disappoints

The best!! Went with partner and toddler , as we do every few weeks, and it never disappoints no matter how busy. Always made to feel welcome, they go above and beyond- plus the food is gorgeous. An absolute treat!

We had our work Christmas lunch at Eat Me and as usual the food was delicious. The lunch was for 12 people and I must say the organisation of the meal was excellent. Everyone got exactly what they ordered with no mix ups. The staff were great, the food delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful. Thank you Eat Me. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Fantastic tasting food, creative flavours on small plates.. Great selection of dishes... Friendly, smiling, attentive staff.. All round winner...

Amazing little cafe, I've not visited since before COVID hit and they moved into the Stephen Joseph Theatre but I'm pleased to say after my latest visit they're still my favourite lunch spot in Scarborough. Vegan/vegetarian options are clearly labelled as are gluten free options or substitutions. Their fried tofu ramen is still my favourite thing on the menu and they have a great range of cake options - again dietary options clearly labelled. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

We now live in Derbyshire, but when we return to the Scarborough area, this is our first choice. It was great to see it so busy at a mid week lunchtime. Staff are always friendly and there's a good atmosphere. Food is always great. Varied, tasty, and well presented. We had Donburi with chicken breast with Thai green curry and meat balls with walnut pesto, salad and chips. All faultless. Our other choices would be to have the black pepper sauce with the meat balls and I particularly like Korean Fried Chicken. We'll done again. See you again soon.

This is a hidden gem! Inside the theatre so it’s easy to miss. We walked past following maps! We are both vegan and the meals are outstanding. Fabulous staff and lovely Christmas atmosphere. Amazing. Highly recommended.

Excellent selection of foods on menu, especially the ramen and donburi, we ordered a Sloppy Joe too

The menu was extensive but the quality of the fare was only average. Service was adequate but appeared somewhat disorganised. All the staff tried hard and said all the right things but it was an average lunch. A pity because there is pretty well nowhere else to go in Scarborough for a decent pre theatre lunch.

A hidden gem in Scarborough. So many vegan options to chose from! The staff was very friendly and was happy to provide suggestions and alternatives. Highly recomend.

Very cool spot with a full menu. You're guaranteed to find something you'll enjoy. Very welcoming, friendly staff who are knowledgeable on the dishes, and if you're struggling to decide, they'll help you choose... something invaluable to me as I'm crap at making decisions, especially when faced with such great choice! Ramen and donburi both packed full of flavour with soft moist chicken/belly pork and very generous portion sizes. Miles better than a well known high street restaurant... Well worth the drive from Ripon. We enjoyed it so much we're returning for breakfast 😋

I have been a patron on Eat Me since it first opened years ago. I have seen how hard the team work to make the Eat Me Experience so special. These guys travel the world to bring back new , exciting recipes on the ever changing specials board whilst the old staple dishes feel like coming home. The service is exceptional. This really is a gem of a find. If you come to Scarborough, don’t miss out. But book in advance - it’s a busy place for obvious reasons. 🔥

Excellent food as always, I went with my two daughters a toddler and teenager and the menu catered for both their needs. Food was 5*

Wow 10/10 met with friends for lunch and monthly catch up group of 6 we had booked before hand so seated right away. All chose different things and all very happy with food. If you don’t know what to pick I’d suggest the meatballs absolutely amazing we will be returning

Eat me is one of the best places to eat in Scarborough. The food is unusual, the helpings are enormous, it is great value for money and totally reliable. Thank you eat me for all you do.

The best place to eat in Scarborough. Hands-down. Everytime I'm in the area I book myself in, been going for years. Love the variety of cakes, the delicious burgers but especially the flavoursome Thai food. Packed with taste and deliciousness.

Well........ Back at one of my favourite places to eat we ended up at Eat Me Cafe & Social after a long walk along Marine Drive. Managed to bag a table for a late lunch so I was really happy. For my drink I ordered a Biscoff milkshake,absolutely delicious and definitely need the recipe 😋 Mum & Dad sampled the Red Stripe lager 🤣🤣 Ordered plenty including my all time favourite the EATZAA....Its not a pizza 😉 Mum & Dad ordered the 3 plates for £16.50 which consisted of the Japanese Gyoza Chicken Dumplings,Eat Me Chicken Satay,Korean Dakgangjeong and a couple of extras which was Hoisin Pork Bao bun and onions rings with a curried mayo. All dishes arrived hot,smelling good the chicken still really moist. Proper comfort food that makes you feel all warm inside especially in these grey,gloomy wet days. Pleased they have still kept the old school specials board 👏👏 Only thing I picked up on was some of the menus need reprinting as some of the ink is wearing off (see pictures) probably due to how busy they are 😊 Everything else just perfect 🥰 Get out there and support local ❤️ #eatmecafe #skillswithlils #supportlocal #restaurants #review

This is mine and my partner’s favourite restaurant, we’re from Huddersfield so we make trips to Scarborough just for this! We first came to eat me cafe on our first holiday together in 2020, and we try to come as often as we can (as students this isn’t as much as we’d like unfortunately!) There’s a great range of choices for all dietary preferences and I’ve never had a meal which isn’t amazing, I can’t wait for when we are able to return :)

Called in for a spur of the moment lunch with a friend. We were lucky enough to be given a window table. We both chose chicken with satay sauce and requested half fries/half rice. The food was delicious, the service spot on. We will be...

I've eaten here lots of times - it's my main reason for visiting Scarborough! The staff are lovely and always accommodating and the food is fantastic. I nearly always have the satay bowl as it's my favourite thing to eat out anywhere. If you're thinking of visiting, just do it. Oh, and the chips are some of the best you can get!

Me and a friend met for brunch. The establishment was nice, staff were pleasant, the menu is nothing special but unfortunately for us both the food was completely tasteless.

Celebrated our wedding anniversary with a meal at Eatme. It's one of the reasons we return to Scarborough as we love it so much. The food, drink and ambience are all unique. Had a delicious meal, really gorgeous and so happy that the monkey fingers...

Looking to try somewhere new during our recent trip to Scarborough we were impressed by the menu and sought it out for lunch. Not openly advertised from the outside (or inside for that matter) you feel the atmosphere of the theatre as soon as you...

Excellent food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere too. We visited twice whilst we were in Scarborough visiting friends. We shall definitely be back when we return to North Yorkshire in the future.

Always a delight! I find it hard to tear myself away from the ramen, but a supreme effort of will is always rewarded with something delicious. Fab people, good space to be

Go here all the time, fantastic vegan menu. Staff are very friendly and attentive,you can also take your dog in. Well worth a visit, would highly recommended.

Great food! I had the Donburi, and my husband opted for the Korean chicken, and both were delicious! Friendly staff, and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Best customer service ever so so lovely!

This place is a gem. They do the most divine vegan Mac n cheese, and the oatmilk dark hot chocolate is superb. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and a chance to people-watch from the first floor windows overlooking the street. A must visit café.

Excellent breakfast food hot and very nice cudnt fault thes staff friendly clean waitress friendly

We had tried to visit this restaurant at The Stephen Joseph Theatre three times without booking but each time we not able to get a table for two. On this occasion we booked in advance. We arrived at the same time as a single man...

Visited this cafe at the Stephen Joseph theatre. The staff were very helpful with reservations and very prompt with service. Very varied choice of international menu (if a little difficult to understand) plus several interesting specials. Very good value for money. Would highly recommend it...

Large, vegan-friendly, Asian-inspired menu. Something for everyone. Independent vibe with very friendly service.

Lovely food and service but the over enthusiastic greeter/server could tone it down a bit with her use of the word amazing!

Abz-solutely amazing service. Love you Stephen and Martyn, best in the biz. Their ramen is to die for!!

Excellent little find. Great food, lovely setting and friendly staff. We would definitely go again

What a lovely find thanks to Google reviews and trip advisor. The menu is really nice and different, with a great kids selection as well. The atmosphere and setting is lovely in the theatre/cinema. Well worth a visit

Bit of hype about the place. Was nice just not for me

I went in here with my service user therefore only ordered a vegan biscoff milkshake. The staff there were lovely and very accommodating for me to order a lactose free shake. I would recommend going to the bar it has a good environment.
