Sandside Cafe in Scarborough

Great spot for food and drinks after a walk on the beach. It's a must.

Beautiful beach side cafe, eat in or eat out. Great friendly, attentive service, fantastic food.. I had the prawn sandwich lunch with coffee, about £15. Good plate full, nice coffee.. Well worth every penny. Can get busy in season time. But there is plenty of seats.

Nice place very busy when we went

Lovely café overlooking the beach. Friendly, helpful staff

Superb food, great location right on the shore line and friendly staff. Crab sandwiches are fantastic. Went a couple of times during our holiday in North Yorkshire.

Had an amazing time enjoyed the lovely food very good value for money and the best hot chocolate. Thank you from the Baker family.

I love going here, usually after walking a little white dog. Staff are so helpful and friendly. Atmosphere and views second to none. Well done. Kate

Expensive. £6.50 for take out very small bap with sausage and egg.Full breakfast £7.00 just round the corner.

Our go to cafe when in this area

Lovely little cafe, with great views.

Great cafe serving good coffee, breakfast and lunch. The perfect destination especially if walking from Whitby to Sandsend (a very popular walk). Lots of outdoor seating for dog walkers, some of it covered.

We didn't eat here but did have their delicious drinks, hot chocolate & a choca mocka.

Coffee and cake. Super place, very friendly staff, great coffee.

Lovely little cafe! Its becoming an annual pilgrimage for us, the staff are fantastic and the food is superb 👌 the vegetarian full English breakfast is one of the best I've ever had, highly recommend! The selection of cakes and bakes are all genuinely homemade and look delicious, we had cherry bakewell slices and they were exceptional. If you're in the area, this place is an absolute must visit if you can get a table!

Popped in today 22nd September 2024, at 10.00. the Cafe is in the best location, right on the edge of the beach overlooking the sea. There is plenty of seating both indoors and out. The Cafe was busy, but we managed to grab the best seats in the cafe, looking out into the sea. I ordered a slice of lemon drizzle cake, a cheese scone and a flat white coffee. It took around ten minutes in the queue and for the food to be plated up. The cheese scone was still warm, from being baked that morning, the best cheese scone I've ever had. The lemon drizzle cake was soft, light and moist, and the coffee rich and tasty. I managed to speak to the owners husband who was lovely and took time to explain a bit of history about the cafe. I thoroughly recommend visiting this Cafe. 10/10.

We have come to love this cafe in a very short space of time, about 3 months and 3 visits so far after years of parking and walking to Whitby for expensive Fish and chips. The food here at Sandsend Cafe is not just very good. It is above superb. Very good value for money. Lots of main protein and lots of extra salad and Coleslaw etc. There are a lot of ppl who take ages deciding only when they get to the counter staff so slow moving queues sometimes, but this is WELL WORTH A WAIT. Well worth it!! There's comfy seating indoors, semi indoors, sheltered spaces and fully outside. Nearly all have a sea view and a beach view probably over 40 miles out to sea. It is just above the beach. Nice toilet as well. It's smart. The staff are lovely. The food is to die for. I can't help myself ordering the Smoked salmon but I have to order a sandwich as the salmon salad lunch is served with salmon in a bagel and I don't like bagels. They are fine about it and I get this amazing meal with wholemal brown bread and with cream cheese and other goodies. My husband had a cheese and ham toastie with similar extra trappings. Cappuccino and tea and cold drinks are excellent. Cakes are also really homemade and above delicious. I don't even like cakes or sweet things but the date flapjack was made with a lot of butter in the biscuity bits and lovely spreading mushed dates sandwiched inside. It's irresistible. So much that we had to walk to Whitby and back to justify all the wonderful tasty calories. If you have never been here you are missing out. This is a Jenn Twenty out of Ten!!! Thankyou very much Sandsend Cafe!! 😃😃😃😋😋 See you again very soon. 😊 Here we are again about 2.30pm Sat 14th Sept 2024 a lovely sunny warm day again, 19 degrees and I just had to have the salmon again. Yum yum yum yum yum. Lovely food, lovely drinks, amazing cakes. I'm such a piggy. I made it to Whitby along the beach but I cudnt make it back as my knees are just too painful so my lovely husband went and got the car. It was as always a very very good experience in every way. Tues 17th Sep 24. Here's me again just sneaking down here from Pickering. If you visit Whitby area, or even just Yorkshire Or England or the U. K. Or Europe, the globe? Your have to come here. Can't stay away. Just meet a chap who bought a house here he likes Sandsend and this cafe so much. I'm working on my husband. 😂😁😍 👍👍

Excellent place. Great quality food and great service, especially considering how busy it can get. Plenty of choice and some of the best views you could hope for. This is a regular stop for us every time we're in the area 😁

Dogs can be in the outside seating area

Very friendly and attentive also clean I had crab sandwich and my wife had a fruit scone both very delicious

Great place to sit and watch the world go by very good food and great views of the sea ect

Eat almost on the beach, delicious breakfasts, extremely friendly staff well worth a visit 😋

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Very good pizza.

We stopped for coffee and an ice cream. They had lots of options, prices were reasonable, the staff were friendly and the views were glorious.

Very generous salads and sandwich portions. The Whitby crab is definitely a highlight as is the seafood special.

Excellent location and great food

Excellent food & very friendly staff

Breakfast with a view, delicious food.

Good selection of food. Great location on the beach

Nice little cafe with great views. Had a good coffee and went for the crab Sandwich,really fresh and good value for money.

As a visitor to Sandsend, Sandsend cafe is a lively and lovely place to visit. Overlooking the beach and Seaview the food is very good and reasonably priced. The staff are lovely too and very helpful. They deserve their recent award.

Always a good place to stop for a snack while looking at the beach and sea at sandsend. Friendly staff, great service and good food.

Beautiful views while you drink your tea. Good quality food. Lots of veggie options, including a full veggie English breakfast (not written on the menu for some reason).

Lovely pit stop after a long beach walk from Whitby, pleasant cafe, would recommend.

Wow, take out Panini's with a smile. The staff were so happy to help with any questions. "Customer service done right!", if only other cafes and restaurants in the area could follow suit. The cakes looked awesome too.

Excellent food and plenty of it. Lovely atmosphere overlooking the beach. Friendly and helpful staff and excellent service.

Simple well made food. Lovely friendly service.

Walked down from Whitby along the beach and found this lovely cafe. A great selection of food from breakfast rolls to pastries and scones. Its also dog friendly.

Lovely cup of tea with ginger and chocolate flapjack

What an amazing setting, clinging to the sea wall with staggering views. There's ample seating both inside and out. The food is great and well presented with prices that are just right. I got the feeling that they were short staffed on a busier Tuesday than expected so the service seemed a bit harried. There's ample parking (pay and display) and access to the beach although I didn't see any disabled access down to the shore.

Fantastic place really good view of the sea . The café has some really lovely staff I definitely will be visiting again Definitely recommend this cafe

Delicious breakfast and freshly made coffee. All overlooking a beautiful beach. Great staff.

Excellent position, bacon rolls are superb with an americano overlooking the sea

A cute little cafe with an awesome view. We sat on the outer deck. Ordered at the bar and then relaxed in the sun. The food was good. £11 for a full English breakfast. Worth a visit.

As always, the best cafe - we always visit this one.

Service is exllent and is equally as good one of our favourite spots. Able to take in views which makes a brilliant place tp sit and relax as well.

Although it was busy service was quick and the food delicious 😋

Well worth a visit when visiting Sandsend

A wonderful sea front cafe, a welcome rest at the end of our walk. Delicious coffee and lemon drizzle cake. Highly recommend a visit 👍

Excellent quality and service 👏

Great location, cakes lovely, coffee could be stronger - get an extra shot. Sandwiches overpriced for what you get. Overall, used to be better.

Lovely cafe with a good atmosphere. Views overlooking the sea.

Lovely place. We had salad and it was really nice, ni e staff very helpful.

Lovely cafe in a great location with good food and great service

A very pleasant cafe at the side of the beach. I had a crab salad which was extremely fresh and very tasty. The regular coffee was more small than regular however overall reasonable value for money and dog friendly.

Always loved this place but had a sausage bap today and the sausage ( in my opinion ) was very poor quality , more like a Richmond cheap sausage no texture and not pleasant at all. Felt quite queasy after. Bit of a shame but 2 sausage baps and 2 coffees £16.80 was not value for money.

Such a lovely place,their food is amazing, staff are friendly.

Love going to sandside cafe excellent bakewell tart lovely tuna sandwiches the staff are all friendly an just a great place to go after a nice walk along the cliff top

Nice food,lovely views what's not to like.

HAD A CRAB SANDWICH 1 YEAR AGO AND ANOTHER TODAY..ABSOLUTLY SPANKING BEST MEAL AROUND...IF YOU LIKE CRAB SARNY MAKE SURE YOUR STARVING COZ YOU NEED TO BE TO GET IT DOWN ..2 ROUNDS OF BREAD CRAMMED WITH CRAB SIDE SALAD AND CRISPS ALL IN A TAKEAWAY TRAY SUPER YUMMY

Conveniently located cafe overlooking Sandsend beach with seating inside and out. Extensive menu, although on this occasion we only had hot drinks and a selection of cakes that were all delicious. An extra bonus were homemade cakes for our four-legged companion, which by its speedy consumption was as equally tasty. Staff friendly and welcoming, and parking close by.

Lovely place for a meal and drink. Nice place to sit and watch the sea

Very popular cafe serving in addition to the usual offering bistro type meals. There seems to be more space at the far end which also has views over the beach. Service was good with more servers which was good as reduced waiting time at the counter. Good location and selection of cakes and sandwiches and much more doing well with the C19 as they have outside space with views over the sea. No toilet access at the moment but Saltburn has good facilities at both ends of the village.

Lovely cafe - home made cakes and scones that always delight and a friendly vibe. The outdoor terrace is wonderful - views of the beach and the sea and sheltered from any fresh sea breeze. We'll worth a visit as z rewards after a lovely coastal walk.

Decent lovely ice creams staff were polite will go again when passing throu

We paid 20p for an hrs parking on a windy rainy morning at 10:30. We had a bacon sandwich and coffee. Lots of customers coming and going and the staff never stopped

What a stunning position for a cafe right on the beach. The food was very good, really enjoyed the visit

A delightful cafe. I love that the waitress warmed the latte cups before pouring our coffee in. It stayed hot for ages! just what we needed on a windy seaside day :)

Brilliant cafe, delicious scrambled eggs with toast.

Crab sandwiches. Our favourite 😍

Great little cafe above beach. Great staff even though busy. Good coffee and tea Great outside seating.

Great cafe with a great selection of cakes.

Lovely food in a beautiful location. Swift, efficient and excellent service. Highly recommended

Visited here twice in as many days! The breakfast was delicious: veggie sausages, masses of scrambled egg, toast and butter. Freshly cooked and set me up for the day. The staff were really friendly and efficient. Doggy friendly too!!

Spent nearly £100 over the last week having breakfast. They missed the toast when we ordered extra and the staff wasn't happy when we brought this to their attention 🙄 😕

Great cafe. Very friendly staff. Good selection of drinks and food. Overlooking the beach. Recommend.

Enjoyed deluxe hot chocolate drinks.

Always great food, can get a little busy round midday but worth a visit if you're down that way, exquisite views too!

Great place too walk dogs great views. Good serf for the brave.

Food is lovely and dog friendly and view of the sea is spectacular

Cafe is in a prominent spot, overlooking the sea and beach, and sheltered from the brisk NE wind. Lovely coffees and the cherry bakewell was delicious. 😋

Lovely place to stop for coffee and cake after a couple of mile walk along beach from whitby. Friendly staff and good price

Brilliant, open 365 days a year, u guys deserve medals

Lovely caff in lovely location..perfect for a jaunt out from Whitby

We used to come here every year until my grandma passed away. We finally braved coming back to have lunch before spreading her ashes and it’s as cosy as we remembered. The food was delicious and the pricing very good for where it is. The outdoor seating has a lovely view and the facilities are well maintained. The ONLY downside was the lady serving us was quite rude, it was a relatively busy day but service with a smile doesn’t go unnoticed. Every other member of staff we interacted with was pleasant though.

Great spot ..ideal for a coffee after walking on the beach with the hounds ... they are welcome also..

Excellent 👌 bacon sandwich (white bread cake / barm cake) extremely freshly baked, bacon done to perfection would definitely recommend several visits! Closed 4th December to 8th December for essential maintenance.

Stopped by here for a coffee off season, still pretty busy and the views are great. Recommend stopping in if you are passing.

Luvly food great staff 5 stars 🌟

Fantastic little place with amazing views

Lovely cafe. We always go there for breakfast whenever we are in Whitby. The food is fabulous and the serving staff are warm and friendly. Oh, and the views aren't bad either [the name is absolutely spot on - the cafe is right by the sand side]

A great place to eat and drink, simple.

Great little cafe for a nice cup of coffee. Didn't have any food only a coffee. Service was excellent.

What a view. Classie Snack menue Slick clean operation. Cheese Scone 🧀 to die for.

Great location overlooking the beach. Understandably very popular but still able to find a table outdoors.

Perfectly located above the beach. Had a brilliant sausage butty. Ideal located to watch the waves crashing on the beach.

This was my first visit and will not be my last beautiful place to sit and watch the seas roll in ...friendly staff nice seating areas clean ..definitely worth a visit if you have not been...

Super friendly venue with a great choice of refreshments. Warn, welcoming and a great view

Great beachside cafe, we keep going back....

What’s happened to this place? It’s always been such a friendly helpful place! Took my elderly parents for coffee and cake, my fathers 95. It was raining, the cafes only seating option was high stools (useless for elderly customers) The staff would not allow us to bring in a chair from outside so he had to sit outside in the rain!!! Terrible service😡 Has it changed owners?

Often walk from Whitby to Sandsend along the beach at low-tide. Highlight is a stop at this cafe for a takeaway coffee and bacon roll. Friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended.
