Ravenscar Tearooms in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Found this little gem when walking the Cleveland Way - we were delighted by the vegan options and warm friendly staff ! Wonderful place.

Delightful dog-friendly tea room, an excellent stop off point for lunch with our sheepdog whilst walking the Cinder Track. Clean interior, very friendly staff & a good menu choice. Toasted sandwiches & millionaire’s shortbread were most enjoyable. Well recommended stop off point.

Amazing cakes! Loverly tea! A little bit of a walk from the main village but well worth it! Loverly pies and cakes to snack on!

When in the area we always visit the tearoom. It’s a hidden gem. On the coastal path and the cinder track it’s a perfect stop off for hikers and bikers.Good food and drink are available along with courteous staff. If you read my reviews you will know that it must be dog friendly, which it is but weather allowing there are plenty of tables outside. Give it a whirl you won’t be disappointed. A lot of history in this area.

Had a stroll along the cliff edge and stopped at the Tea Rooms for lunch. Service was friendly and professional and the food was brought to us as we sat outside in the sunshine. Food was tasty and well prepared. One small grumble …. Maybe you could add some balsamic vinegar or a few drops of dressing on the salad leaves without it they were dry and bland and left so we’re wasted. Would still return as we enjoyed the setting and the sandwiches and coffee..

Lovely bulky cafe meals, catered for a toddler without any fuss. Great views of the sea and plenty of fellow adventures and cyclists to create a delightful atmosphere

Great little tea room with home made cakes etc. Coffee they served was good (am caffiene freak) and its also on the Cleveland Way so a good place to refuel.

The recently renovated and refurbished tearoom on the North Yorkshire coastal path (the Cleveland Way) and the adjacent Cinder Track (ie. old railway line), this delightful tearoom is a must visit, popular with both walkers and cyclists. Only a few hundred metres from the Ravenscar headland and the National Trust visitor centre. A warm welcome awaits, as do the delicious homemade cakes, pastries and range of snacks, all very reasonably priced. Eat them inside or at tables outside with views of the North sea. Friendly and helpful staff and the spotlessly clean interior make this a most pleasurable visit. In the little square outside you can read about the history of the railway that passed through here and the plans (never fulfilled) to build a tourist resort to compete with Scarborough and Whitby.

Over 100 of us (mainly children age range between 10 - 15 called in for lunch today after a gruelling 20 kilometre charity walk! Myself and 2 more adults were the first 3 into the cafe and spent just short of £50, followed by the rest of the group, who must have spent an absolute fortune on food and drinks. 20 minutes later we were asked by the proprietors to move on as we were "making their tearoom look too busy, and alot of the kids were eating their own packed lunch"! What an absolute disgrace you are, if you hadn't wanted our custom you should have said before we had spent our hard earned money!!! Being in the hospitality trade I, for one know that its a very short season and one day you might be regret being very unwelcoming!!!

Another great visit, friendly staff, great scones, lovely coffee! We love to stop by and have a friendly chat with the lovely ladies. Dogs also always get a treat from the ladies which is lovely

We’ve been quite a few times, lunches and drinks and cakes, always great quality and the bonus for us is the gluten free options, we know we can always eat there, makes it a go to place when walking the dogs as they are allowed inside too. Great to sit outside on a nice day.

What an absolute shame that this cafe under new management apparently (?) cannot give a basic Yorkshire welcome even. It’s position and views are stunning but sadly we were not wanted . The cake was poor,, expensive and sickly ,, . The tea was fine. Ravenscar deserves so much better.

A great place for breakfast. Amazing fire ideal on a cold morning in November. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit very dog 🐕 Friendly too

A decent menu of light lunch items. We ordered pastries and they were reheated in a microwave so the pastry was soggy. Served with a small salad which was okay but uninspiring. There was some outside seating but plenty indoors too. A pleasant-enough space, located in old station building complex

Had a super lunch here then returned the day after for breakfast prior to heading home. This has to be one of the best full English breakfasts I’ve ever had. The pasties are also gorgeous.

Called in on a wet windy day Had toastie and baked potatoes huge portions lovely service let us stay till the bus came Great friendly little spot

You get what you order. Ham sandwich, salad and crisps on doorstop bread. Toastie is huge with classic fillings. The cakes are belting and they have the classics (Victoria sponge, Bakewell tart etc). Stunning views over the sea and incredibly peaceful! Pay it a visit, it’s a great place to go!

Our second visit this holiday, although we did also visit last year. Consistent good quality food, with friendly staff. Lovely setting too

We were already familiar with this place under previous owners and loved it then. We have just bought a static caravan in the area and revisited for the first time after a lovely walk along the cinder track and coastal path. We tried the full...

Visited as a family of 5. Lovely fresh sandwiches and cakes, can highly recommend. Sandwiches had choice of bread and came with salad and crips. Cream tea was lovely with a great scone. Everything homemade.

Keep on up the road past the National Trust outpost! A delightful small cafe in the old station buildings on the 'ghost town square'. Pleasant outdoor space, small tea room area, great coffee and cake, and friendly staff.

A nice place to stop for lunch or a snack Good quality food at very reasonable prices Lovely benches outside for a sunny day

Recently renovated tearoom updated to a modern fresh style but with train station styling including old photos of the former Ravenscar Train Station. Lots of seating inside and outside. We sat outside and enjoyed excellent cappuccinos, hot chocolate, toasted sandwiches, tea cakes and sweet treats...

Fab breakfast and veggie breakfast. Great food, great coffee. Friendly staff. Nice location, especially when the sun shines :-)

A warm welcome! Big scones, Jam and clotted cream with a decent brew of Tea! Sat outside - picnic area adjacent to Ravenscar old station track.

Daytime visit after a walk to Ravenscar. Great food and a great service. Very good English Breakfast avaliable until 1pm. Worth every penny.

We walked across to Ravenscar from Robin Hoods Bay. I had seen the tearooms recent posts on Facebook and we walked the extra few hundred yards up the road from the hotel at the top of the cliff to find it. The young ladies who...

Visited the tearoom today lovely latte and great bakewell slice. Service spot on and friendly staff. Great menu at sensible price.

We had a wonderful lunch at ravenscar tearoom and the most delicious cake. Local pork, chill jam and ham pie, and my husband had the Yorkshire pasty. Absolutely delicious local food. Moist light clementine cake, washed down with a pot of tea. Lynne and her...

Called in for lunch after a fairly strenuous and longer than expected walk along the Cleveland Way from Robin Hoods Bay. A delightful walk though. Had a delicious lunch. Great quality and value and a wonderful choice of sandwiches and pies. Lovely soup also. Friendly...

In a great location at Ravenscar Station, just off the Scarborough to Whitby Cinder Track (A Bridleway) Ravenscar Tearooms is a honest to goodness cafe with indoor and outdoor dining, offering a perfect selection of refreshments and great food. This place has everything I needed...

Pretty Ordinary. Queued for ages for a mediocre cup of coffee and a very average lemonade. Not up to much.

I'd told the family about the great views of the beach from Ravenscar. Ironically, it was a foggy day and the beach couldn't be seen. We'd seen the tearooms on Facebook and called in for lunch. Great seating outside and friendly staff. We ordered cheese...

lovely food much appreciated after our walk! Staff worked really hard and calmly as they were busy but deservedly so. Cake portions were massive!

On the Cleveland Way and Cinder Track, a lovely cafe with a great range of homemade cakes and friendly staff. We got a warm welcome and had an excellent flat white, gluten free chocolate cheesecake and cherry bakewell. Parking nearby but most visitors will probably...

Good selection of cakes (including gluten free) to go with decent coffee. Great to sit in sun after walk to see the seals. Loads of seating on patio tables. Certainly worth a visit for a brew after a walk.

Stopped en route cycling along the Cinder Path. A warm welcome, a cup of tea and the best Yorkshire pasties ever! Ten out of ten! We’ll be back.

If it is fast food you are after, go to MacDonald's! This is good food, well cooked and well served. The service is always good here and so friendly. Lots of choice but leave room for cake!

We were on holiday from Scotland and visited this quaint and historic tea room for coffee and a scone. Obviously very popular with locals and tourists. The cakes look fab and they also do sausage rolls/pork pies etc which would be good for a picnic...

Lovely cafe with lots of outside seating, good food that arrived quickly and was well cooked and presented. 10 out of 10

Recently cycling past this cafe on the cinder path when we got a puncture. Staff at the cafe went out of their way to help us to fix the bike whilst we enjoyed a quality coffee and a delicious cake. Thank you very much for...

We had takeaway drinks/cakes and sat outside on the picnic benches. Lovely selection of homemade cakes. Great service. Have visited twice and will visit again!

Very generous with the sandwich filling, and generous tea bags in the tea pot with a pot of water. Lovely cakes, friendly staff efficient service. Tables outside and I side.

Called in here for a coffee and cake on the Saturday and then collected an afternoon tea on the Sunday dinner. The prices were more than reasonable and the quality & portions were excellent. Really friendly staff and safely covid organised. Wonderful place. Top marks.

They sell beacon farm ice cream in tubs, so we grabbed some to have on the grass in the square outside (where they also have some seating). Seems a nice little spot.

Hadn't visited for a while and had forgotten just how good this little tea room was. We were there for opening time and already queue but didn't have to wait long before our delicious breakfasts arrived. Would have given them 5 stars but tinned tomato...

Nice selection of cakes and good to sit outside on benches and enjoy the seaview. Service was a bit slow but maybe they are just getting used to being open again.

Arrived at 10, opening time. Already a queue! Ordered 2 Ravenscar risers at £4.50. When it arrived it didn't look big. I was worried as I was hungry. I shouldn't have been concerned, when you broke it down you basically had a breakfast inside a muffin. It was very well cooked and good quality. Great cafe in great location.

Huge slices of cake and lovely cream teas. The owner of the cafe even fixed my sons bike puncture (twice!) so that we could continue our bike ride. Can’t rate this place highly enough.

We walked from Robin Hoods Bay to Ravenscar , I was a little exhausted 😴 It was lovely to sit outside with the most delicious cake and coffee. Much appreciated, the staff were so friendly. 100% recommend if you are in the area.

5* all round. Absolutely fantastic tearoom. Great customer service, delicious food and dog friendly. Highly recommend the cheese scone and the humongous piece of millionaires shortbread! Wish we lived closer so we could visit more regularly! Well worth a visit.

Visited quite a few times since re opening and can’t recommend this place enough. Perfect spot to stop after a long walk. The food is amazing(best cakes/tray bakes ever!) ...always seem to have a gluten / dairy free option, my little boy loves the lemon cake. Friendly service and nothing is ever too much for them. Highly recommended, lovely family run business!

Friends recommended that we visit here for genuine home baked food.I am not usually a quiche eater, but when I saw it I couldn't resist. It tasted even better than it looked. Following up with a very rich chocolate brownie and this really was a treat.Well done to the new owners.

We visited after a walk along The Cleveland way, ordered two coffees and two bacon & sausage sandwiches. The coffee was lovely and the sandwiches nice and hot. Served with a smile and super quick service. The cakes looked amazing but we were too full after our sandwiches!

Visited today for a family members birthday, top notch service, we were very impressed by the gluten free options, we had soup which was very tasty and had the option for gluten free bread. We then had some wonderful cakes, thought it was fantastic that the chocolate cake with fresh whipped cream also had a gluten free option as well as the brownie. The new owners and staff were very helpful. We will certainly be returning and recommending to all our friends and family. The location is fantastic with great views all around.

After the long lockdown we are once again aloud to be out and about, with social distance and restrictions.We actually stumbled across this tea room, whilst walking alone the Cleveland way to the WW2 radar station.The young lady served me was absolutely lovely. She told me her mother and yourself bought the tea room in lockdown and their open day was good Friday. The service and the absolutely amazing scones, freshly made on the premises by mother, was friendly and outstanding under difficult circumstances. I wish them well in their new adventure

First try of this traditional curd tart. Wonderful homemade, moist perfect with a cup of Yorkshire tea, especially after the steep climb up from the seals. All cakes homemade and all looked amazing, lovely café and staff in these crazy times

Perfect stop off on coastal walks. Lovely cakes and scones. Friendly service and great value. Good COVID precautions. Felt very safe. Good to see the business adapting to keep everyone safe. Would definitely return.

Been going here for years each time we visit the area. Can't beat it after a walk.Whether it's an afternoon tea, slice of cake or lunch this place and team always deliver something lovely. Due to the current situation, it's a bit of a different experience - outside only seating, disposable crockery and cutlery. The food is still great, staff are wonderful and it's reasonably priced. This is nice, fresh and good quality. The menu isn't vast, they concentrate on doing what they do well.

My partner and I had the ploughmans with ham and cheese here. Along with some very nice coffee. Poor weather didnt detract from the quality of the food. Would happily visit again!

We arrived just as it was closing but the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating allowing us to order and then not rushing us to finish. Cakes were very good. Additional tables on the grass area in front of the tea rooms so lots of space to social distance.

Would have been a lovely experience had it not been for the horribly unfriendly staff. Sadly won't be returning.

Great cream tea with excellent scones. We were also impressed by their COVID security measures. Beautiful stretch of coastline for a walk; having a good tea room makes it even better

Lovely little tea room, great selection of food from snacks to full meals. Outside seating only at present but very Covid safe. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Visited during Covid 19, there was no indoor seating but plenty outside and luckily the weather was good, also food and drink was served in disposable cups and plates but really not a problem. A latte, scone, jam and cream for £4.00 - you really can't complain and was very nice too!! Service was friendly and quick.

We used this cafe because there was;nt much else. unfortunatly they have chosen the minimalist service route , plastic cups etcIt could be so much better with proper cups and saucers and the odd smile

Lovely lunch here at the halfway point on our bike ride. Quick service, all COVID-19 safe. Cake selection is immense!

With a one way ordering route through cafe and seating on the grass square outside, social distancing is adhered too. We had breakfast, poached eggs on toast, that was brought out to us. The food was lovely and washed down with decaffeinated tea. Which is the only complaint I have, which was that the drinks were served in disposable mugs. I abhor disposable cups and the damage they do to the environment. Some cafes use them as a covid safety measure, which is nonsense, as soapy water kills covid, so washing up teacups will control the spread. Unfortunately, I didn't have my reusable mug with me. Whether they would have accepted this or not I don't know. Next visit I will find out. The lawned square where the tables are situated is lovely and it is good to people watch as ramblers pass by.

Visited with friends after completing a local walk on the 15th June. Tearoom had just reopened after lockdown and we received an excellent welcome and lovely food. Tearoom had been organised to provide a safe experience. Highly recommended if in the area. We will be back.

Called today after a walk along the cliff top, egg mayo sandwiches followed by Tiffin and Flapjack, all delicious, it gets no better.

Visited en route to Scarborough whilst cycling the Cinder Track. Only just reopened with new Covid safe working practices. Very friendly and clearly put a lot of thought into reopening strategy. Bread was tasty and bacon excellent. Would have called in on the way back to sample the lovely cakes on offer if hadn't had trouble with my bike. Well worth the steep climb from Robin Hood's Bay.Large open space to sit outside and great location.

Visited Joanne at the tea rooms today for the first time. What fabulous food, service and covid 19 safe ! Welcome back after being closed due to the pandemic and gosh you have provided u s with scrumptious food after our 7 mile hike. Hope you are able to keep trading with lots of support from walkers and cyclists alike . Thank you for providing us with a little normality after 12 weeks. We shall be back for more fab soup, tiffin, cheese scones to die for and a cracking cuppa too .

Have walked past a few times without stopping. This time called in for coffees and a snack. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Would definitely visit again.

This is a great little tearoom with a decent selection of food. Customer service is excellent, something my mum commented on more than once.It's also located in a beautiful spot with some tables outside the tearoom and on a grass patch just opposite. Also a very short walk from there to some beautiful elevated views of the coastline.This is the third time I've come here now and will definitely be back.

Have visited here many times on my cycling exploits and always been received with a smile, good service and excellent foodand drink.

A great cafe in a lovely location.We pop in several times a year, whether it be for just a hot drink and cake or a lunchtime meal.Lots of lovely walks near the tearoom and there are views of the sea.Welcoming staff, clean interior and good quality food.We'll be back next year.

Ravenscar on the Cleveland Way is well worth a visit. One reason being the amazing views across to Robin Hoods Bay and the other reason the tea rooms along the road from the hotel. Good parking, easy access and good homemade food. Dogs are welcome and prices reasonable, we deffinitely recommend.

Came across this cafe in Ravenscar last weekend. Can honestly say the breakfast was fabulous, huge portion of top quality ingredients. The cafe is very clean and has a friendly atmosphere. We would definitely recommend a visit.

My hubby and I regularly walk our dog at Ravenscar on a Sunday and the teashop is a MUST so we can buy cake to take home with us. All made by them, try coffee and walnut, my favourite, and rocky road. Hate it when they close for the winter!! Oh, and, I have never known the staff to be anything other than polite and friendly.

Have stopped here twice when passing through Ravenscar. Enjoyed a nice pot of tea and a bacon sandwich. Reasonably priced cafe. Cakes look delicious but I resisted temptation.

We recently stayed in the B&B and experienced the tea room for breakfast. Jo was an excellent host and was very accommodating. The breakfast was excellent with lots of tea provided. We were not rushed and as the weather was so good we were able to eat out on the Green

Stopped in here o a walk from Robin hood's bay, asked for a cream tea. The jam was squirted on from a tube, whipped cream was then added from a van, onto a stale scone. Tea was nice, service frosty. Wouldn't visit again!!

It is a good sign when all the tables inside where occupied!

We visited the Tearooms a few times, but today we weren't welcomed as usual. We ordered a few pots of tea and sat outside in rather cold and windy conditions, all tables were empty. We took out a few our snacks and were going to order some cakes afterwards. Already when ordering tea the staff was quite unpleasant but when we sat at the table we were told that only suppose to eat food from the cafe (no signs or anything on the tables stating this) And if gets busy we should leave the table. Not sure where to drink our tea, on the grass maybe. We weren't bothered with cakes and left as soon as our cups were empty. Won't be visiting again, will go to the other cafe.

We were walking the Scarborough - Whitby Cinder Trail - its about 22 miles long - and Ravenscar is pretty much bang in the middle! So - we planned to pop in for a loo break and a short rest. We arrived at around 09:45, a little earlier than opening time - but the lady was there and let us in and did us a lovely scrambled eggs on toast, a brew each and a lovely homemade cake for later on the walk. The food was fresh and lovely, and reasonably priced too - we were offered cool water to fill up our water bottles as well - very thoughtful! We'd highly recommend it!

Found this lovely little tea room by chance when we were parking for a bike ride on the cinder track. The rain drove us into the tea rooms and we liked it so much we went back later for lunch. The cakes are home made, the service is impeccable and the lunches are basic but delicious. No problem with one of us being gluten free either, he had a choice of 3 cakes and several lunches. There are two small rooms to eat in, both cosy, and if you're lucky with the weather you can eat outside.

Just what was needed having cycled from Whitby to Ravenscar on The Cinder Track. Toasted sandwiches, drinks and homemade cake was all that was required to refuel is and get us back to Whitby. Very welcoming cafe with great facilities.

We called in twice today - once at the start of our walk, for a hot drink, and then mid-afternoon for a well-deserved late lunch. The owner is a cheerful, friendly and helpful lady who had time for a chat at the start of the day as it was very quiet as the weather was not promising.

We cycled along the Cinder Track from Scalby near Scarborough to Ravenscar, where we stopped for a quick bite to eat. Perfect spot overlooking the coast. Decent range of snacks at a reasonable price. Service was was very good, we ate outside on the green at picnic benches, quite busy even though it was a quiet Monday lunchtime.

A lovely cafe. Cake was amazing. Such friendly people. Sat outside in the sunshine looking at the beautiful view.

We had breakfast here on Saturday, not for the first time. The food was excellent and the cafe a delight. Relaxed, friendly, chatty and helpful, backed by superb cakes which we bought to take away with us.

We called in on our way from Robin Hoods Bay to Scarborough a long the Cleveland way. We asked for our flask to be refilled with tea which was obliged without question. We then discussed whether we should take food for our journey and after finding out we would have to detour of the route to get any more food before Scarborough we decided to buy sandwiches to take away. This was excellent advice and we enjoyed them sat on a rock overlooking the sea and didn’t reach Scarborough until late afternoon. Thank you for the advice and the tasty sandwiches.

Lovely little cafe, really friendly staff. Food was great and very reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Had a puncture and my pump was broken! They lent me one and gave me a bowl of water to help fix it! Great coffee and food too!! Very cycle friendly and great service! Thank you!!!

We called in after a walk. We had tea & scones, they were very nice & tasty, staff were very friendly & helpful.Will call in again when we are in the area.

This tea room is exactly in the perfect location and the peak of the long gradual climb along the Cinder track from Scarborough to Whitby. Whether you are cycling or hiking along the route the Revenscar Tearooms offer a welcome respite, in fact it was so good we cycled all the way back up there a second time during our visit to Scarborough just to have lunch there again.

There isn't much to do in Ravenscar but this is one of the only locations other than the hotel to get food or drink. Staff were friendly, producing great food (breakfast and afternoon tea) with a good atmosphere and dog friendly.

Stopped here on the recommendation of a local. It is well worth the extra walk from the cinder path. The food was excellent - all home-made with a local focus. The owners are so friendly and helpful. Hopefully we’ll pass again!

A good spot to stop for a snack whilst walking or cycling on the Cinder Track/Cleveland Way. Very friendly staff. Closed on Tuesday when not school holidays/

Great little tea rooms- much bigger inside than you think. Really friendly staff who know all local info. Great food- sausage rolls were lovely and cakes etc are really nice too. Nice clean toilets also! Very friendly to our children and allow well behaved dogs inside.
