Old School Coffee Shop in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely hone baked cake, coffee and atmosphere. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. There is now a larger outdoor seating area with quite a few tables having shelter from the wind and weather. We'll be back!

Popped in here while waiting for our train, we just happened to be working to the engine sheds when we spotted the cafe and stopped there instead. This is a converted school and it is quite quirky inside. There is plenty of seats outside giving a great view of the trains, but we chose to sit inside. We ordered a fruit scone with jam and cream and a cheese scone with butter, you could have chilli jam but I did not want it, we also ordered a coke and cappuccino all for £11. No where is cheap to eat these days but I have to say the scones were the best I have tasted, they were really deep, I was able to cut my cheese scone into 3 slices and butter each one. Both of agreed they were really nice. The cafe did food but I did not really take much notice of what they did, I saw customers getting bacon sandwiches, sausage sandwiches and a breakfast. The three members of staff were all friendly and brought our food to our table, It was not particularly busy but I can imagine it can get busy, The path to the cafe is neatly kept and there is a small seating area near to the station that is nice to seat in and people or train watch. Would recommend this place and would definitely recommend the scones.

To be fair this is a lovely building in a great setting that serves decent food and drink at reasonable prices. That said, the welcome is questionable. On reflection the number of instruction based signs should have been a warning. I visited with my 2 year old grandson who was initially expected to choose his ice cream from the freezer with glass covered over by a blanket to protect the contents from the sun, it was a cloudy day with no sun! The most bizarre behaviour was when we came back from the toilet to find our table cleared away and somebody else sat at it with my rucksack and our coats still on one of the chairs, we had finished but not the point.

Super Coffee and scones to die for!!! The cheese scones are home made with a hint of chilli. The chilli jam on offer goes well with them. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Surprised or what, brilliant food, great location and lovely people. Had a cheese scone like no other. You must try this place, by rail or road don’t miss out.

Really rude member of staff who needs to work on communication skills. We’d been happily waiting, in the queue, for about ten minutes on bank holiday Sunday with family and small child. Male member of staff came out and said it would be a 30 minute wait - we were happy to wait. Got to the front of the queue to be told we are not taking orders till 2pm - another 25 minutes! Totally get when places are busy but he needs to be much clearer. A 30 minute wait is different to not taking any orders for another 30 minutes. The two ladies serving were pleasant and said ‘he confuses us as well’. We left as other members of the party were not happy with the service (two of whom both work in the same industry in Whitby).

Never felt so unwelcome in anywhere before! Got told to "sit over there" when I said a table for 2 please, menus were virtually thrown at us and waitress not friendly and then had to listen to who I think was the owner, telling someone rudely to "shut the door" Awful coffee (although cake and shortbread we nice) After being recommended to this place by the ticket man on train I wish id read the reviews first and saved myself £12! We spent 3 days in the area and this is the only bad review, everywhere else was really welcoming.

We love Grosmont and have visited the Old School Coffee Shop on several different occasions over the last few years. The setting and the food are beautiful. Regrettably the service was very mixed on our recent visit. We were welcomed warmly with a friendly smile by one member of staff when we arrived which was lovely. We were sitting outside and went in to order lunch. I was asked what my table number was, but I had forgotten to make a note of it. Bearing in mind we were the only people outside at this point and there was one gentleman behind me who had just come to order. I asked my son to get our table number; a 10 second job if that. However I was asked to leave the one deep queue to go and get my table number by a different straight faced lady who was serving. and then rejoin the queue. I actually felt like I was at school. Appropriate really, bearing in mind the coffee shop is based in an old school. Really guys? I returned to the queue to be met by the friendly server who said she knew where I was sat. The fact that this lady was pleasant meant I ordered coffee and cake. I took my money elsewhere for lunch. Such a shame and very disappointed. Customer service can make or break a business regardless of how good the food or coffee are.

Lovely quirky coffee shop. Lovely food. Great coffee. But not very nice when there’s you, the owners, and another customer who they’re friendly with, and they’re having a loud conversation across the room. Which has happened to us the last two or three visits; better therefore when it’s busier with a general hubbub. Would have been back for lunch today were it not for this.

What a lovely building! Outside a bucket full of soapy water and soft bristled brush for cleaning muddy boots a nice touch. Neat, clearly written signs, friendly welcome, lovely spacious indoors with a log burning stove warming the room. The freshly made Hummingbird Cake was delightfully moist and had wonderful flavour, strongly recommended!! Owners were so helpful when we asked about walks to take with our dog to see local waterfalls. Gave us tips to avoid congested areas and told us the best places to park too. Cant beat local knowledge! We loved our visit to the Old School Coffee Shop. Very welcoming,great quality food and drinks available, clean, spacious but cosy premises. Thank you for your welcome and advice for the walk to the Falling Foss.

Cafe is a short distance off the high street - between the level crossing and the engine sheds. Inside and outside seating and the interior design is a bit quirky but in a good way. Had two wonderful bacon butties and a good pot of tea. Let down by a very burnt Latte and perception was that the coffee was of a lower quality than say Botham's or Mr Coopers Coffee house in Whiby. No staff issues.

After walking here from nearby Egton Bridge, we stopped here for a well earned rest and drink. Having been here in the summer, and just having a drink, we opted for drinks and cakes. Lovely location, great views of the railway and passing steam trains, we sat outside in the autumn sunshine and enjoyed a slice of coffee and walnut cake and carrot cake, with coffee for husband and pink lemonade for me. Friendly staff, great food and drinks and good views. 

Having just got off the train we'd just arrived at the doorway of the Old School House when my friends,my wife and myself were rudely told to get out of the doorway you won't get served any quicker by male waiter. Maybe change your attitude and you wouldn't have lost four meals!!! You're doorway certainly won't be used by us again. Rude and ignorant male waiter suggest you learn how to talk to people with respect. Especially if you're the owner

This place is great entertainment if you want to watch the proprietor abusing his customers. Don't queue where the board is saying wait here to be seated, you'll get a right earful. Don't spend too long eating or drinking, you'll be evicted, don't ask how much something costs, you'll get a tirade on what margins are made.... I enjoyed the banter, eat people like him for breakfast, but if you're of a nervous disposition try any other cafe or fasting. 😅

We stopped here for a drink while out walking from Egton Bridge. We took shelter under the vine covered gazebo and watched as a couple of classic trains pass us by and drunk our tea and coffees. Lovely location in the old school by the side of the train tracks, with a viewing platform for enthusiasts to see the trains. Friendly staff, great prices and food looked lovely (we didn't have anything, but wished we did!) 

Nice food but very unpleasant staff and not child friendly at all which is a shame as why shouldn’t children experience the beauty of the area and the railway. The rude man made a comment about ‘the mess this child had left!’. There was little mess as I had got down on my hands and knees to clean up the few crumbs my toddler had made. Also my little boy has dietary needs so I bring a packed lunch for him and yes we had brought food from the establishment so not like we hadn’t bought anything from there. My little boy had a couple of little snack custard pots which he had eaten and I left the couple of small empty pots on my plate when we had finished so hardly a mess at but clearly was an issue. Definitely avoid if you have children! Not child friendly at all and not that pleasant to the adults either!

My friend and I ordered food, she asked if she could have some tap water with her food and was told only if she made a donation (I thought it was illegal to change for tap water...). The attitude of the staff was over all very rude and almost aggressive. It's in such a lovely spot so could be a fab cafe but definitely won't be going back due to staff attitude. Don't go if you like to be spoken to nicely and to eat in a nice atmosphere.

Stayed in Goathland and enjoyed a walk to Grosmont, where we stumbled across this cafe. It's a converted school and retains its character. I enjoyed a delicious slice of Hummingbird Cake and pot of tea, husband had a beer. All the food which came out of the kitchen looked lovely and the couple that ran the cafe are so friendly, I believe the gentleman makes all the cakes and all looked scrumptious. Definitely call if you're in Grosmont, we'll certainly visit again

Lovely clean, welcoming cafe, delicious food. Cheese scones with chilli jam -to die for! And a lovely cappuccino too! But the owner (who was lovely) was wrong…. Cherries are fabulous and his cherry and passion fruit tart was a mouthwatering delight!

Lovely little spot to drop in whilst on a walk, cracking cup of coffee, nice ice cream Yorvale available too! Dog friendly, really lovely staff.

Friendly cafe with delicious ciabatta sandwiches and cake, very welcome after a long walk. It was lovely sitting outside keeping an eye on the railtrack for a passing steam train. We will definitely return when next in the area. (Actually, it's worth a detour!) Oh, I nearly forgot, the side salad served with the ciabatta was the best I've ever tasted!!

A great little cafe serving food that wouldn’t be out of place in a decent restaurant. Spotlessly clean and really friendly.

Our favourite place for a coffee when walking in this area. Good selection of cakes and nice coffee.Nice outside seating area looking directly onto NYMR tracks. Great if you have a four legged friend with you. Only complaint is it not open enough days of the week at the moment. We walked down on Wednesday from Goathland hoping for refreshments but disappointed to find it closed. We return today (Saturday) this time walking from Egton to finally have our nice coffee and cake. Staff are always very friendly and helpful. Thank you hope to return soon.

We went here with our cycle club and despite not warning them we were coming we were given a warm welcome. The food and service were excellent.

The pizza is not only delicious, it’s also beautifully presented, with unusual ingredients artistically arranged. The Oakey Smokey is wonderful, but the Roasted and Toasted might be even better. The outdoor space is lovely and the staff really friendly. It’s a delightful place to spend...

Fantastic lunch yesterday at the Old School cafe. The setting cannot be matched with the steam trains passing by. Recommend the goats cheese & red onion bruschetta and the brie and salami sandwich. We will definitely call again.

Lovely cafe in picturesque setting. Our sandwiches and coffee were delicious and we enjoyed watching a steam train pass in front of the cafe as we ate! Service was friendly and efficient

Popped in to the cafe just to grab a coffee before we set off to walk the “rail trail”. However, after we’d surveyed their cakes and pies, we left many minutes later with a variety of goodies. The gentleman who served us (the owner?) was...

After a lovely walk we visited for some lunch. I was waiting in the queue to ordering food. The owners standing behind a Perspex screen and wearing a clear visor. Double reflection of light made it difficult to see their faces. As I waited in...

Stopped off for a break after a lovely walk from Goathland. Great location, you can watch the steam trains go by. No table service so joined the short queue. What I assume was the owner asked my wife to unblock the doorway, more of an...

At the moment it is not possible to eat inside, but the garden is pretty and nicely laid out. I had coffee and a sandwich, but was made to feel very welcome. Quality of food was high, and the cakes and pastries on display looked...

A delightfully situated cafe with lots of good outdoor seating overlooking the railway. Extensive menu.

We stopped here on our way back from a local walk. Outside seating only at this time. Inside the decor is modern whilst being in keeping with the style of the building. The homemade cheese scones are made fresh each morning and are the best we have tasted. Served with homemade chilli jam this made the perfect lunch. We bought cakes which we ate later; all delicious. It is well worth taking the short walk from the station platform towards the engine sheds in order to enjoy the food and drink here.

We last tried Old School Coffee Shop over 3 years ago and today was a totally different experience. The owners were pleasant and welcoming, coffee was good, bacon baps just what was needed and the cakes and scones looked delicious. Overall a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.We look forward to making a return visit.

We visited in September when the weather was lovely so we were able to sit outside. lovely cakes would have loved to be able to try their lunches but we didn’t get chance. Nice choice of soft drinks or alcoholic if you fancy it. Not sure how they will fare now the weather is colder are the inside seating is closed

We had been on a long walk along the old train tracks from Goathland which was an excellent walk and to then find this place at the end of our walk.All h the items on the menu looked great but we had decided whilst walking a Bacon Roll would be the perfect match to our 7 mile round trip walk.The service was excellent and in the current climate all felt very safe and clean.The bacon roll was perfect and staff very friendly and welcoming.The coffee served at this coffee shop is excellent and the best I’ve had since being in Yorkshire. Most time you go to a small cafe either the food is good and coffee rubbish or the other way round but here both are EXCEPTIONAL.Definitely recommend and will be back again.

Friendly and tasty coffee and cakes. Also lovely view when the steam trains passes. Would recommend especially after a nice walk.

Dropped in for a late lunch. Food was delicious but the owners attitude took the edge of the occasion. Off hand and unwelcoming.

after a little run along old railway line, we stopped for a little bite to eat. A wonderful warm welcome awaited us, both from the owners & the coal fire. We had the belly pork on toast, oh my goodness, what a divine dish...blooming lovely!! A couple of coffees & a scone and we were full!! What a great place, great food, great people!!

We found this cafe as part of our walk from Goathland. We received a friendly welcome and the lovely warm log burner was cosy. We just had a scone and tea, although the bacon sandwiches looked and smelled delicious. We received a generous pot of tea giving plenty of 'top ups', the scones were fresh and tasty. A comfortable place to relax and the quirky old school desks added to the atmosphere. We will be back again! The coffee shop is only open certain days during the winter and the dates were displayed outside.

What a lovely coffee shop. We descended on the café as a family of adults and children and were made very welcome. The food was delicious. The coffee shop was warm and welcoming with a log fire. The owners took the time and effort to give a history of the coffee shop and surrounding places of interest. The facilities i.e. toilets were very clean. I would more than recommend this lovely coffee shop. We will certainly be visiting here again when in grosmont. .

One of our favorite places to eat. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The cakes are homemade and wonderful. A real treasure!

Popped into this cafe after a walk down from Goathland.The owners were very interested in our local links with the village and brought out lots of old archives and school photos. Very nice and engaging.The setting in the old school room is great.Oh, and a super choclate cake to go with the cup of tea.Recommended.

Our food was fine and average price so I'll skip that part. It was the facilities that were sadly lacking.Only one safely working highchair available and a unisex toilet which is fine in itself, however, no baby change space available. The toilet was mucky with a wet floor all over. No mat, table, chair or paper towels were provided so my baby had to lie on the dirty cold floor while I changed her (she can't fit on my knee anymore and I had to kneel on the dirty floor myself). The only bin said 'No nappies. Thanks' and had there been anywhere else to change my baby I would have but it was cold and I couldn't do it outside.I should not have to make excuses for needing to safely change my baby, it is pretty basic to expect somewhere you can change your baby while you're eating out. It is not always possible or fair to make your child wait in a dirty nappy while you finish up your food and go somewhere else, especially when everyone else in the family's toileting needs are catered for by a cafe.Had I known it would be like that I would not have gone in the cafe. I've rarely felt so unwelcome.

We were down for the Autumn steam gala at the end of September. We went in for a tea in the afternoon and after queing for 20 minutes we were at the cash desk and I had a pot of tea and a hot pastry. Staff were under pressure that afternoon and I did not envy their situation. When my tea came there was no milk so had to go and ask for some. It was brought to the table and kind of dumped down on the table. Sraffs attitude could have been better but it seems to be like this in quite a few other places in the area as other members of the public relayed this to us over the weekend. Bit pricey I would say

This is the second time in this tea room. Plenty places to sit outside and admire the steam trains. All home baked produce. Scones are enormous and lovely tasting, Especially the cheese scones. Plenty tea and coffee. Dogs accepted outside.

Went in for tea/coffee and cake. Gave lady the order and paid for it by card. Asked for a receipt to be told 'you don't get a receipt with contactless' . Said i wished I'd been told that prior to payment and this was the ony establishment I'd ever encountered unwilling to offer a receipt. Reply was 'I'll bring your order to your table'. Sat down and the order arrived ..... together with a receipt almost thrown onto the table. No other comment whatsoever. The cakes were delicious but would we go back .......... definately not. Other reviewers have also had problems with the owners/staff, shame really

18th September, Stopped for lunch on a hot and sunny day, this was a fantastic tea room, with a lovely character inside, and a great sitting area outside in the old school playground. We choose one of the breakfast bar type seats outside and could sit and eat lunch while watching both the steam trains pass, and people coming and going from the engine sheds, just great.Tea was good, and so was the goats cheese on bruschetta, with a nice fresh salad and giant couscous, Staff friendly and welcoming.Great little tea room, worth seeking out.

After a morning of team trains, and walks in the countryside I had a well earned rest here.

Excellent cheese scone (see if you can guess the herb), curd tart and tea. Earned it on the walk from Goathland. Lots of other tasty-looking food and friendly staff. Worth catching a train to visit too!

We visited this very inviting, looking tearoom after walking from Goathland on the disused railway track.

A well located cafe by the station and the rail line. Pleasant seating, both indoor and out - and a good menu for hot drinks and snacks. Pleasant staff.

A beautiful setting in what used to be the village school where my sons were taught. So good to have this friendly place to meet up with friends. Gorgeous cakes, lunches and a variety of beverages. The interior is beautifully decorated and has a wood burner for the cooler days. Outside seating in the old playground with close view of the North Yorks Railway. Be ready to wave to the train passengers.

Got off the train and needed some lunch. This was the ideal place. Sit in or out. Lovely sandwiches and a good range of hot and cold drinks served by pleasant staff. Other than the odd wasp interrupting my relaxed lunch, this place was ideal.

Dropped in today for lunch - wonderful food, goats cheese tart (pastry to die for) and pulled pork in a bun.The cakes looked so delicious that although we couldn't manage them at the time, we bought some to take home and they were sublime! Lovely friendly atmosphere, excellent staff - oh, and great coffee. Will definitely visit again.

Visited after nice walk along the Rail Trail from Beck Hole. Had morning tea Coffee which was excellent, served at the table by charming staff. However, the highlight was the large slice of Apricot and Ginger Polenta cake, all homemade. Spent a while chatting with the owner who made the cake herself she was happy to talk and discuss idea and tips when baking cakes.A great experience and we will re-visit again very soon.

We visited this coffee shop today and had a wonderful time. The food was so delicious and fresh tasting (cheese scones were huge). The menu was varied and it was a shame we weren't hungrier as I was very tempted by the twice baked cheese souffle.

How does this coffee shop survive with such rude and unpleasant staff? We stopped for coffee and cake and what a mistake we made. The chap was aggressive and insulting, the woman deeply unpleasant. Not a nice place

We visited this charming cafe for lunch, seating outside and in. The sandwiches were terrific and can strongly recommend this place.

Glad someone on the station told us about the Old School as I don’t think we would have found it otherwise and what a disappointment that would have been. 2 bacon rolls, I ham sandwich and 1 huge bowl of Thai courgette, pea and coconut soup, all 5*. Head towards the tunnel and the sheds and you will find it on the left just before the tunnel. Don’t miss it if in Grosmont, you will not be disappointed.

Myself and my wife called in here during our walk from from Egton Bridge

Interesting room with lots to look at, boxes of Trivia Questions on the tables to keep you entertained. Not a wide range of food but what there was was very good. We had tea/coffee and cakes. Would certainly go back.

Great food, lovely environment, particularly good soup! Gluten free cake, really well done. Dog friendly and people friendly Definitely a regular visitor. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely little cafe. Really well looked after, good coffee and lovely cake. You can sit outside and watch the trains passing backwards and forwards. Pleasant helpful staff. Oh and the cakes are delicious

A great little find at the end of the Beck Hole to Grosmont walk. Kids loved the little quizzes on the table. Great food and friendly staff. Location was great for kids and adults to see the trains.

Popped in for bacon butties and chocolate brownies, really friendly staff, took time to have a natter. Really nice cup of coffee too! Hopefully we’ll be back soon.

It would have been nice after a long walk to be greeted at this establishment with warm smiles and quality drink and food. Unfortunately we were greeted with hostility, an irritable manager and average drinks. Hopefully others does not experience this Salty service.

We had lunch as a family, two adults and a two year old, and it was very good.

Visited on Easter Sunday at lunchtime for an on the spur of the moment family snack lunch.(5 adults)

We visited as we were staying in Grosmont walking the Coast2coast. The interior is well designed and decorated tastefully, with character. The owners, both former award winning restauranteur's know what they are about and the cooking and baking are both excellent. The seating area outside is ideal for train spotting whilst we took advantage of the wood burning stove inside as it was a cool day. Very happy to recommend and will visit again soon.

We have been coming up to the NYMR for several years, but for some reason never really noticed the coffee house before! So glad we did this time.

Very busy but we all got served - sausage rolls and the scones were wonderful. Loved sitting in the cinema seats by the wood burner. Staff all lovely and helpful.

Went today with my wife mother in law and father in law for mother’s day lunch. Had walked from Goathland and we were ready for lunch. My father in law ordered for him and mother in law paid no problem. We were ordering separately next in line when a blonde fiftyish woman barked from the back no more savoury food. My wife explained to the very pleasant waitress that half our party had ordered and this would split us up. But fifty something woman just barked go to the pub. Not for instance I’m so sorry but Just go to the pub. When I said this is disgraceful she answered I’m not a magician. I’m sure you had a bad day. I don’t know why you did what you did but you upset my wife who felt she had been unable to deliver a nice mothers day to her mum. So we had a nice lunch in the pub with our parents eating in your garden. I do this walk a lot. Would not spend any money in your establishment now. You didn’t explain that there was a problem just go to the pub. I Hope you’re proud.

Excellent service and friendly staff. Good selection of cakes. Clean. Dog friendly. Perfect place for refreshments after along walk.

We arrived here after a long walk and were warmly greeted. we ordered tea and Victoria sponge which was as light as a feather, very tasty and full of fresh fruit as well as jam and just enough butter icing to hold it together. It was a very generous portion and I enjoyed every mouthful. I am a big fan of Victoria sponge and have eaten a great deal of it in my 67 years but this was the best ever by a long chalk.

An amazing find after a long walk, the Old School Coffee shop offered beautiful coffee, a wonderful selection of homemade cakes and slices and savoury dishes to tempt any hungry soul! Its been a while since I visited this cafe but it appears to have undergone a complete transformation and is well worth a visit - so glad I found it once again!!

Fantastic little cafe, great looking food and a perfect setting. I had a black coffee which was lovely and my fiancée some tea. The carrot cake is absolutely unbelievable, I would go back purely for this!

Love this place. Location is great , decor fascinating and food has always been good. However made a special hour and a half journey last week having first checked website which stated it would be open and it wasn’t. This may have been an emergency, but a note outside stating this would have been good if that was the case. If a place has a website, surely it should be up to date. Contacted owner through the website, but have had no reply. It was a lovely day and a number of potential customers were lost. Marks given are on other visits.
