The Pines Coffee Lounge and Diner in Scarborough

Second time having breakfast at The Pines for me, third for my mum and brother with whom I come on holiday to lovely Filey. I can see how the local older folk love this little cafe but you don't have to be old to appreciate its charm or indeed a good, reasonably priced English breakfast. Malcolm is a great host with his cheeky banter!

Pines is such a great place, fabulous real home cooked food by Margaret and such great service and humour with Malcolm. A bit of a hidden gem and highly recommended.

In Filey for the day, called for lunch, friendly greeting on arrival, lovely steak pie meal and coffee. Will make a point of visiting again. Wish I was allowed a sweet pudding they looked delicious but diabetic so had to resist.

This is a great Coffee Lounge & Diner with a really lovely and welcoming host Malcolm. The food is freshly cooked and is great quality at very reasonable prices. The atmosphere is very relaxed and not rushed with Malcolm making everyone feeling at ease. They have a nice menu of options with daily specials on a board. We have been here a couple of times now and whenever we are in the locality we will be sure to go again and again. You will not be disappointed. From The Barnsley Bunch.

Great little cafe , Fantastic service .really nice couple running the cafe. I go there every time I visit Filey. You always get a very friendly welcome . And the food is great.

Lovely small friendly cafe with excellent service and food, we were made to feel very welcome! We’d come here again soon.

Whilst in Filey on a wet morning and looking for a decent venue we came across The Pines. Straight away we were welcomed warmly and after studying the menu found everything to be very reasonably priced. We found that Malcolm and Margret were very engaging and found the conversation with us and everyone else in the place to be very warm and genuine. Great with the kids also! Unfortunately in my experience most places don’t engage in conversation but I found myself speaking to Malcolm about Football, Golf and local recommendations. A great couple running a great diner with lots of choice and great value, really enjoyed our breakfast there.

Such a lovely welcome and great customer service. Food lovely and reasonably priced too. Kids loved it even more when they were offered a lolly before we left. Would definitely return if we are back in the area.

What a fabulous find "The Pines" truly is. The food is absolutely delicious both the mains and the desserts catering for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Always friendly and Malcolm (front of house) really is a star. If you tease him he will always get you back - the two tubes of sugar on the edge of my plate with my cornish pasty had me giggling for hours afterwards. You could not wish to find a more friendly place - it does fill up quickly and for good reason.

Best pie around. We had steak, proper homemade pie. Super friendly service from the owners and very reasonable in price.

Visited here with my wife many times, lovely food at a reasonable price. The host, Malcolm is very welcoming and such a nice fella. The only place in Filey we head to for either breakfast or lunch. If the host Malcolm doesn’t make you laugh, then you ain’t got a sense of humour.

For the past couple of years, we have been loyal customers to this lovely little restaurant. Malcolm is always so welcoming and so is his wife (sorry, I do not know her name). You can expect a well cooked traditional meal here i.e. pies, pasties, fish goujons, quiche, sandwiches, burgers, breakfasts etc. The food is always tasty and reasonably priced too. We will definitely be back when we visit Filey again.

Came in yesterday with my daughter (10) mother and aunt. On arrival, we were greeted warmly and the gentleman was fantastic. After ordering food we thoroughly enjoyed (three bacon sandwiches one extra crispy and one lasagna) the gentleman had my daughter grinning as he joked about her ice cream by the end! We will be returning next time in the area.

We found this little gem of a place by chance as we usually eat in another cafe in Filey when we are here on holiday but the other place has gone dramatically downhill since it changed owners again so we needed to find somewhere else. As this lovely little cafe is up one of the side streets we hadn't seen it before but are so glad that we have now. The owners are lovely people, always a smile and a friendly welcome and the food is delicious and very reasonably priced, with good sized portions. I would recommend The Pines to anyone. It is only small but it leaves a very big impression (in a good way) and we will definitely be making this our regular eating place during all of our future holidays in the area. See you again next summer :-)

Lovely little cafe slightly off the beaten track in Filey. Very friendly hosts that provide simple fare but is of good quality and very reasonably priced. It is almost a step back in time and none the worse for that. Recommended.

If we are eating out in Filey this is where we go. My husband has the steak pie and I have either vegetarian lasagne or turkey and mushroom pie. The food is delicious and the owners are very welcoming. You leave feeling as if they are your friends.

good quality breakfast with excellent service at a reasonable price . The owners were friendly and chatty

We had a lunchtime meal during our recent family holiday to Filey. I had seen the reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to try it out and we were all glad we did. The venue is very welcoming and calm, just what we needed after walking around the town. Our sons had the Cumberland sausage, which was big enough to fill them up for the whole day, and my wife and I had the home made chicken and mushroom and meat and potato pies, which were delicious. The sweet toothed ones had treacle sponge and apple crumble for puddings, all washed down with tea and coffee. The boys were even treated to a complimentary lollipop before we left. The next time we’re back in the area, we’ll definitely be popping back for another meal, and I’d recommend visiting to anyone in Filey who is looking for a fantastic place to eat.

Gorgeous homemade food. The breakfast was lovely. Very clean and the owners were very friendly. We will definitely be back 😊

Had a lovely breakfast and it was freshly cooked and the owners was very very friendly. Was a big pot of tea , we will be back.

Friendy and welcoming. The Americano coffee amazing thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend and come again.

Great traditional food, pies were fantastic and desserts were terrific. Owners are very friendly. Highly recommend.

Came upon the pines coffee lounge on a day out..beautifull place to have a coffee and tea .Friendly quick service and place was spotless.returned later for treacle sponge and custard and more hot drinks., Would highly recommend a visit.

My wife stumbled across this place on our last day at Filey and what a great find. The cafe has a lovely homely feeling to it with lots of regulars visiting as the owner was greeting them during our visit. We were lucky to have a table as in no time the tables did fill up. I ordered a steak pie which was gone cooked and absolutely delicious. My wife and son had lasagne which again they said was very very good. My daughter had fish fingers. Unfortunately they had an amazing selection of desserts so we had treacle sponge and custard and sticky toffee pudding, they even offered a half portion for my daughter. When we visit Filey again we will certainly be visiting again, the whole experience was excellent and the owner couldn’t do enough for us and I would highly recommend anyone to visit during their stay in Filey!

We visited here on our way home from Scarborough. It’s a friendly place with a lot of locals visiting. The host Malcolm couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful. We chose soup and apple pie with ice cream, all served quickly and efficiently, and at a...

We often eat in The Pines and really like the place, always feel welcome and have a laugh with Malcolm which is nice. The food is good and everywhere is very clean would recommend a visit.

We were fortunate enough to get the last available table in this small cafe and diner and were warmly greeted by Malcolm (co-owner with his better half). The selection of food is just about perfect for the size of the establishment and service from Malcolm...

What a wonderful little cafe! Owners Malcolm and Margaret, Malcolm is a wonderfully funny greeter as you enter and then a fantastic host the whole time you're in! Great price, great atmosphere and just an all round lovely time. Thank you for a delicious breakfast!...

Slightly strange entry procedure. A chain over the door and you wait to be let in. Limited space inside so I guess it makes sense. Lovely welcome though. Three breakfasts and a veggie breakfast. Good value as well. It felt like I was in a...

Fantastic food, good hospitality, very clean. Great value too! Excellent, friendly staff. 10/10. Would recommend for families with young children.

First visit to this cafe tucked away from the main high street. Visited as most of the other cafes closed for redecoration. The Pines is only small but very cosy. A traditional menu with sandwiches, soup, pie and chips etc. I would probably stick with...

Nice warm welcome. 3 of us had breakfast 1 had tuna mayo sandwich all very nice. Will use again next time we are in Filey.............................................

Me and my 6 year old popped in on off chance. The guy was so helpful and friendly. He was always asking if everybody was OK. Value for money children's choice only £4 . Cottage pie less than £7 bargain

The owners Margret & Malcolm are very welcoming to their small but pleasant cafe. Great breakfast and lashings of tea. Great value and would recommend to one and all

What a fantastic find, covid safe and good service. Had breakfast twice and drinks with snacks. Very good breakfast only criticism is the coffee, Malcolm, should look at a better coffee system such as Tchibo. But don't miss this place.

Super place for a coffee and cake or something more - really friendly, good food and nice atmosphere Would wholeheartedly recommend

My wife and I poped in here for dinner good home cooked food excellent service served with a sense of humour on the side a very busy little restaurant that deserves the high amount of trade it gets I would strongly advise booking to ensure a place.

Came across this little cafe when looking for somewhere for a snack with my partner and daughter , so glad we did , the food was very nice and the owner was so friendly and welcoming , will definitely return when next in Filey

One of our reasons to visit Filey is to have lunch here. We love it. Food is lovely & owners are so friendly - they make you feel like family. Malcolm always cheers us up with his humour - watching him banter with the customers is part of our enjoyment. We look forward to our next visit.

Friendly and efficient service. Delicious food well presented. The proprietor has a great sense of humour.

With my wife we planned on breakfast in Filey on a Saturday morning. We tried 3 places with no luck, and had decided to head back home. Cutting through a side street we came across The Pines and thought one last place to try. So glad we did the owners are lovely and treated us as old friends. The breakfast was great fresh cooked and arrived hot and well presented. Coffee and Tea very nice. We were given a map of Filey with high tide times, useful if you plan to walk along the Brigg. I know next time it will be our 1st port of call. Customers who came in were all treated like friends and I noticed all were greated by name.

Absolutely amazing. Malcolm is a great guy with first class customer service. Also if you’re worried about Covid the safety measures are thorough.

lovely atmosphere excellent food many thanks malcolm look foward to a vist every time we are in filey

Clean, tidy and nicely set out. It is difficult to think of anything more to say about this cafe. The only real stand-out characteristic is the proprietor. Depending on your point of view, he is either a friendly and jovial host or an unwelcome pest. As a result, this is not the place to visit if you are looking for a little privacy with your coffee and slice of cake with your partner. On the other hand, if it is old fashioned if somewhat dated banter with a slight sexist slant you want with your beverage than look no further.

Breakfast was fantastic. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for looking after us so well Malcolm x

Very nice food, and proactive in enforcing coronavirus protocols, ensuring you sanitise on entry and check into the NHS track and tracing app. Malcolm was a genial, witty host and it was a pleasure to find this fine establishment.

What a fabulous little cafe. Unpretentious, fabulous food, excellent service and great value for money. The owner also has a great sense of humour - we were entertained throughout with his wonderful sense of humour.

Lovely old fashioned tea room. Thoroughly recommend their home made pies and treacle sponge! The owner is a very friendly chap too!

Just had breakfast at the Pines in Filey. Food was first class. Great friendly service. Very clean and well prepared with COVID requirements.

How nice to be made to feel so welcome in this comfortable cafe.Very clean and Covid regulations all being followed.Only had coffee and cake today but will definitely return for lunch one day.Family run establishments like this really deserve to do well.Thank you.

A fabulous little place well worth visiting.We were greeted with a warm welcome from Malcolm and served a delicious breakfast. Malcolm keeps his guests entertained and is most engaging. There’s nothing more I can say except that we can highly recommend this coffee lounge and if you’re looking for a great place to eat in Filey, this is it. Price wise, really reasonable and excellent value.

Popped into The Pines cafe for a snack lunch and were delighted with the atmosphere and friendliness of this little gem in Filey. I would highly recommend this cafe which is very reasonably priced and the food is delicious. Will certainly call again when next in Filey.

Great food to a high standard .covid rules followed .went for a breakfast 10.9.2020 staff also are the owners were so friendly it made want to go back there highly recommend this cafe to everyone ,k Jones Scunthorpe

We had a lovely breakfast, highly recommend this friendly cafe superb customer service. Great food at reasonable price

We visited the Pines today for breakfast and it was delicious! The owner, Malcolm was very attentive and the service was second to none. We would definitely recommend 🙂

Good food - we had the steak pie which was a good portion and delicious. Overall it was very good value for money. Very clean place, observing all the restrictions to keep customers as safe as possible. Great hosts too!

Excellent food . Homemade steak pie with veg and chips or new potatoes. The gravy is to die for 😊 perfect staff who made us so welcome and kept us smiling . We reconnect and we will defiantly return.

Fantastic. We were made welcome the moment we got to the door. Friendly, helpful staff and great food at a great price.

We went on a Sunday morning, looking for a full English breakfast. We weren't disappointed. Served with toast and a mug of tea, it was lovely. The owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back. Small venue but perfectly formed. Hidden on a side street in Filey but well worth looking out for. Varied menu which we've yet to try.

Excellent little coffee shop / diner in Filey. We visited on a Sunday in August and got a warm welcome. Had coffee and cake / ice cream. The owners have made great efforts to make it Covid secure and has screens, contact details recording, customer hand sanitising in place. Felt safe as well as being friendly and welcoming. Great piece of apple pie and ice cream, great tea and coffee. Highly recommended. Will be returning.

Visited during a day trip to Filey. Such a lovely small coffee shop. Malcolm was so welcoming and had a great sense of humour- made us feel really welcome. The food was amazing - my cottage pie was the best I had tasted. Only downside was that the vegetables were tinned. Reasonably price and would recommend to others

Drinks only, coffee ☕️ water and two Diet Cokes. Wait at the door to be seated, sanitise your hands, all tables have plastic screens on.

Went to Filey for breakfast, tried a couple of cafes but none serving full English breakfast, found The Pines. The menu said serving breakdowns until 11.30am the time was 11.50 so we thought we had missed it however Malcom greeted us at the door and asked if we wanted a table. I said we wanted breakfast but looks like we’ve missed it, he enquired with the chef if they would be willing to cook us 4 and they agreed. So we were seated with Covid-19 guidelines-2 to a table with screens and hand sanitizer plus signing in for track and trace. The breakfasts arrived and were cooked perfect. Very nice jovial and informative host-Malcolm I believe. Cannot recommend enough and will definitely be regulars. Compliments to Margaret and Malcolm

When in Filey my parents loved visiting here, sadly Mum passed away but we still visit with my Dad, who loves the place!Malcolm is such a kind welcoming gentleman, who goes out of his way to make you happy.The coffee was lovely, the children's hot chocolates too. The food coming from the kitchen looked tasty, especially the crumble and custard!!Everything is Covid-19 covered, from hand sanitizer to giving your name etc and PPE in place.I lovely clean and overall cute little cafe in the heart of Filey.

We only found this cafe on our last day in Filey :( the food was lovely and malcolm made us feel so welcome! We will be back for sure :)

We just wanted to have a small lunch and cuppa and really pleased we decided on The Pines. The owner was so welcoming and had a dry sense of humour. Felt like we'd known him years. Very welcoming and the food was lovely. Would highly recommend. Very nice ♥

Fantastic home made food and puddings. The Owner made us very welcome. A little gem worth knowing about, we may become regulars.

A very friendly cafe with attentive staff who like to make you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. Food was perfect for lunch and went out of their way to give you what they can

.Enjoyed a lunchtime snack. The menu is quite small but supplemented by "Daily Specials" Many regulars appear to dine here which is a good sign.

A lovely little eatery, clean and welcoming. The availability is good and Malcolm is a brilliant host..

First time visit today most certainly not the last Chicken n ham pie to die for ! My friend had Turkey and leek and she also loved it Very friendly ppl who served us highly recommend!

Very good lunch in this small and friendly cafe. Very reasonable price for a good lunch. Nice and clean. Good host.

My husband, myself and our daughter called in for lunch on a day out to Filey over the Christmas holidays. We were instantly welcomed and looked after. The food was great and the service second to none. Its not often these days that you find a little gem like this where good old customer service is in abundance. Great job The Pines, will see you again next time we are in the area. Thank you

Lovely place to stop for a coffee and a bite to eat. Very welcoming and chatty owner Malcolm. Excellent service and delicious food.

Called in for coffee and a snack during our recent holiday in this beautiful part of the UK. The welcome, service and banter with Malcolm was first class as was the coffee and snacks. A very enjoyable time spent in this quaint little cafe on a side street just off the high street In Filey.

Visited here on our last day here before a long drive home, the guy serving was lovely and made our experience great!!! Great coffee and great experience!!

This is a great little place , we just had a hot drink on this occasion The owner greeted us as if we where regulars . We've been to Filey many times over the years but we've just found the Pines, cant comment on the food but we'll go there for a meal on our next visit, there arnt many places like this left , loved it.

We both had a great meal at The Pines. We had the wonderful home made pie with new potatoes and veg. It was lovely. A great place to eat. A wonderful welcome and service excellent. Will be visiting again soon.
