Just what I needed this morning. Hearty breakfast, well cooked and served with a smile. A proper café run by a friendly team.

Food was perfectly cooked to order meaning it can take a little more time to be served because but there is a sign advising customers of this and it is well worth the wait. I treated myself to fried bread with my brunch and it was the best I've ever had with the perfect egg to dip it in. There was a vegetarian option too. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The interior is simple cafe furniture but was clean and not cramped. Prices are extremely reasonable so great value for money. I also spotted a fresh baked cake which looked very tempting. I'd definitely visit again if I have the chance next time I'm in Scarborough.

Some pretty harsh review on here about the owner and the food. Spent 2 weeks in Scarborough early August and went in for our breakfast virtually every day and never had a single issue with either the owner or the food. Will be back in town in October and Rendezvous cafe will be our first port of call every morning once again.

My partner and I were very disappointed when we visited. We had been going to the place every day during our visits to Scarborough over the last 20 years but never again. Yes it has been redecorated which needed doing but the menu has been changed too, it's all fry or salad meals, not one meat and veg meal. We thought we noticed Scampi on the menu but when I ordered it the proprietor said in a unfriendly way that Scampi is not on the menu. We ordered a cup of tea then left.

We called here for a coffee,no fancy coffee here but you do get a choice of size of mug. Husband had a teacake. The breakfasts and daily specials looked a good and plentiful as well as being cheap.Located next to the train station and the theatre. The owner was friendly especially to locals.

We sadly walked in to this dirty cafe, simply looking for a breakfast and had not seen any prior options on the day.This place is a filthy place and one I wished we had avoided, the place had not been cleaned properly for ages and certainly from the service the day before, the old food was still on the fryers, cookers etc.The chap running the place appears to be deaf, as he did not listen to a word I said to him.The only member of staff who appears to have any gumption was a young girl working at the place.The breakfast we ordered was given to another couple even though their order number was after ours.After a rush new breakfasts were brought but were for the table that had been given our order.They had to be taken back and created for our order.The breakfast was tolerable and actually good value for the price paid, but what a dump, the place needs a complete renovation and change of ownership and a change of clientele to get it up and running and will not be a place I will visit again.Scarborough residents and visitors should avoid this place like the plague.

You can't go wrong when you ask for tea and it's available in mugs (not little china cups). Tiny tea cups in Historic Yorkshire is one thing but tea needs to be served in mugs. Food was good quality and was served quickly. Prices were very good and the cafe was clean and smart. Highly recommended.

Called in for a breakfast quick service very cheap basic cafe nothing wrong with it at allStaff helpful and cheerfulBreakfast excellent value for money and liked the choice of small medium and largeWould have liked to have seen a meatless breakfast on the menu but that's just my preferenceDefinitely Will go again as it's close to the station so easy to fuel up for a journey home without having to pay the outrageous prices the station charges

Went into the cafe this morning 19/03/2019 with my family to get some breakfast before our journey home. My 23 year old daughter who was with my grandson was about to order her breakfast and got a drink out of the fridge.The lady behind the til rushed over and snatched the drink out of her hand and said "you can't take one of those they aren't to just be taken out of the fridge " very rudely and there was no need for this. Hence after this we left without ordering our food. Absolutely disgusting behaviour and wasn't called for. Will not visit here again.

Central and easy to find. Organised a business meeting because of this. Had a lovely cup of tea and was amazed how good the fruit scones were fantastic. Homemade. Good value.

Been to this place a few times now and it's not been the best but always been edible but this morning me and my mum went as a second resort as the normal one was closed for the holidays and I ordered 2 bacon and sausage sandwiches. When the food got brought out I received 2 bacon and egg sandwiches so I mentioned this to them and they took it back and 1 minuet later returned with 2 bacon and sausage sandwiches with 1 sausage on each. As I picked the sandwich up to eat it, the sandwich was dripping in grease and I noticed there were SET fat on the plates. After eating one sandwich I felt that sick from all the grease I decided to leave the other and left the cafe, got to say I will never be going back ever again, absolutely horrible

The café is really down to earth, its a family run place and the staff are very friendly. The meals are excellent, the food is all fresh and cooked when you place your order. My partner and I have been going for about 13 years when we visit Scarborough.

This place is great value. It's definitely no frills but that is part of the charm. I go every time I visit Scarborough.

We've had breakfast here and numerous cuppas. This restaurant serves all the staple meals and drinks, its handy for the rail station and is cheaper than the station's coffee bar, the staff are friendly and the loos are basic but clean.

Terrible experience. Horrible atmosphere as soon as we walked in. The guy working there had an attitude problem, shouting at the young female waitress and telling the whole cafe that it was her second day. Had an argument with two other customers as they'd been waiting a while for two cups of tea. Even the customer said that he is stressed and he didn't like that and began arguing. Getting all the orders wrong and blaming the young waitress. Stated he is not taking anymore orders even though I'd been sat on the table and my mum ordered just before me. I had to tell him we were together. Such an uncomfortable atmosphere. How he works in hospitality/customer service is beyond me. Clearly the wrong industry. The poor staff, clearly not a very good trainer, but not his fault. AVOID as you'll only be left disappointed and leaving with a headache.

We called and booked afternoon tea for 4 people last night to have today at 2pm. I asked for a quiet area to sit as my mother is part way through chemo. We also asked for no fishy sandwiches. We arrived slightly early but I advised reception that we were here for afternoon tea, they didn’t seem to know anything about it but we were told to wait in the lounge which was no problem, we could not buy a drink as the bar wasn’t open, so we sat and waited, the manager came and said they were just preparing it and would come and fetch us when it was ready. We waited and waited and at 2.20 my father chased it up it was then brought to us in the lounge area around 2.30 and served on a coffee table with no room for it and with salmon sandwiches. I then advised that we didn’t like the salmon sandwiches so the waiter took away the whole afternoon tea and we had to wait another 15 or so minutes to come back. It’s was absolutely disgusting, apparently the scones were freshly baked and warm when in actual fact they were rock hard and stone cold and stale and looked straight out of a packet, there was barely enough cream to spread a very thin layer on some was that hard they were inedible. The white sandwiches were stale, they egg mayonnaise sandwiches were slimy and the small cakes were still frozen. I’m quite sure they forgot we were coming and threw whatever they could together. I don’t mean to be rude or nasty but the gentleman that served us was very unkept and had an awful odour. I informed reception when I paid the bill and can 100% confirm I will not be recommending or returning. This was a very disappointing as this was the first break and outing since my mother’s diagnosis, and was definitely the worse experience of afternoon tea I’ve ever encountered.

Really disappointed with our meal, I ordered a soup and was shocked, to say the least, about the portion size , literally half a bowl and when I asked the waiter if it was a mistake he replied that it was head office that control the portion size!!!! Shocking , considering I was charged £6.50 for literally 5 spoonfuls. Prices have risen so much in the last year, ridiculous! Unfortunately the pub lacks atmosphere and we won’t be back! Such a shame as we The Bay but there is a need for a decent pub whose sole purpose is not to rip you off!

This has got to be the worst room I have ever stayed in. Dirty floors, dead spider behind bathroom door, wallpaper peeling off, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, mould in the shower. This place is not just basic it's filthy. Don't waste your money.
