The Secret Garden Restaurant, in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We visited twice during 1 week because it was so nice. 1st visit was lunch - mushroom cheese melt and a bacon sandwich and tea & coffee. The food was gorgeous and not a long wait. 2nd visit was full breakfast (veggie for one) and tea and coffee. Both times the food & drinks were very nice and piping hot. Lots of content in the breakfast and quality ingredients. Set above cooplands, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Nice enough little cafe lovely interior. All social distancing and Covid measures in place to a very high standard, except one thing which made a mockery of everything else. Everyone was asked to sign in (Track n Trace), using the same pen.Made all other measures a farce and felt unhygienic as once youd used the pen there was no was of sanitising again. Madness

A great place to visit when in s/bro found this cafe a long time ago and never fails to come up to standard always a warm welcome and the food is not bad either.We always enjoy the tuna or mushroom melts and a grand pot of tea not bad value for about a tenner.Looking around it seems many locals use it.The only word of warning is there are steep stairs to climb at the end of the shop.It is one of our favourite places to go when at the coast.

Lo suficientemente agradable. Escaleras empinadas. Mesa de limpiado de inmediato para nosotros. La comida es barata. No comer pan, pero parecía suave y fresca en personas sándwiches. Bebidas queridos para lo que te dan. Tiene aseos pero no genial. Estamos limpio, y el personal comprobado correctamente mientras yo estaba allí, a diferencia de algunos lugares en donde el sábanas firmado pero no un partido vistazo. Muy concurrida.

Queríamos escapar de los problemas de las calles y tomar una bebida y pastel. Aquí fue el sitio! Qué selección de pasteles, así como platos salados. El personal era servicial y amable, muy buenos precios, y encontramos un lugar tranquilo para relajarse y beber nuestro té. A menudo una "olla" de té apenas te da un cupful, pero aquí teníamos casi tres tazas de cada olla. Los tamaños de porción de tarta también están bien. Sólo ten en cuenta (comprensiblemente) corte veces para atender el desayuno o el almuerzo, pero la comida de un tipo u otro está disponible todo el día.

Called in to shelter from British weather. Pleasantly surprised by the decor. Good friendly staff and nice coffee. Well worth a visit

What a disappointed customer asked for breakfast but told don't do fried egg after 11?????? Ordered anyway by a grumpy member of staff, when arrived mushrooms looked like they were straight out of ground the bacon was rubbery won't be coming again very poor

went here to shelter for the British weather had afternoon tea and a cream cake really enjoyed it staff really nice as well

Did not have a meal here only stopped for coffee morning break but all food looked very tasty and very attractive with pastries (good choice) etc. Must be good as lot of customers in and people coming in all the time. One big asset is the decor,a must to see with pastel colours being easy on the eye and Italian themed to relax and chat in also have toilets. would go back. one negative,with being upstairs not for disabled patrons.

The restaurant is upstairs above a very yummy cake shop. Prices were excellent and the cakes even more so, large portions, counter service, pleasant helpful staff. Nice surroundings we had carrot cake and custard cake both were wonderful. Worth a visit when in Scarborough, they also serve hot food which also looked delicious and well priced!

Part of the new Cooplands, unfortunately not available back home - if only! We ate here every day for breakfast, because the quality and service, at the price is absolutely unbeatable. We also ate here twice for an early (pre theatre) evening meal, and were not disappointed. Recommend them? of course we do but beware that the secret may mean queues in future!

I called in with my aunt for morning coffee. Everything is freshly baked and prepared on a daily basis and is quite reasonable. There is a loyalty card scheme for hot drinks and free tea/coffee with a cooked breakfast. It is attractively decorated like an Italian garden and there are toilet facilities. It is a popular meeting place for older people, but unfortunately the cafe is upstairs (quite steep) and there is no lift so it is out of bounds for the less mobile or disabled.

I have visited this upstairs cafe from time to time over a period of approx 25 years.It has a couple of no-no's for me (hence minus a star), which are, the tables and chairs are rather cramped and the first few tables are rather close to the counter where some people in the queue sometimes look across which can be a little off-putting when you are eating and/or drinking.Also there are rather a lot of stairs.But those things aside, on the whole this is a good little all-rounder cafe.The cooked meals/snacks are always nice and hot and fresh and they always serve a good quality pot of tea also the coffee and lattes are equally as good.Here, you generally get good value for money.The staff are pleasant and business-like and the service is good.This is a nice little italian garden style themed cafe with a pergola and the four tables by the window that look out down onto the precinct are always very popular with the locals and tourists alike.I continue to visit this this cafe.

Brilliant surroundings upstairs great service and a lovely choice of different meals fancy cakes etc...

Hard work if you have a pram/wheelchair as its up a lot of steps. Staff are quite slow (although friendly and helpful) and the tables and chairs are very cramped. Toilets were clean.

This little gem is hidden upstairs opposite the main shopping mall in scarborough above a bakers shop. This cold have been just any other high street featureless cafe' but some one with a well developed sense of style turned a very ordinary room into a classical italian garden themed room complete with pergola, columns and statues in a very well lit airy space. The food was freshly prepared and the waitress service very helpful, describing the various Cafe' style dishes. Best of all the Tea was not the usual catering bland tasteless brew but a very refreshing taste of refreshing tea.
