Lots of vegan options, brilliantly dog friendly, lovely staff, and great views. Staff brought my dog a bowl of water and some dog treats :)
I don't think it is feasibly possible for me to give enough of a glowing review for this wonderful place. We were originally attracted to this place because it had a dog friendly sign and it was our furry companions 1st Gotcha day. Not only were the staff extremely friendly but also gave us a bowl of water for our pup. The prices were more than back home but I always expect as such when ordering at the seaside where the fish is fresher. Well, when the food arrived we were taken aback. The portions were stupendous. However, I am always about substance over sizes and I have to say, the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside, they were delicious. Then, there's the fish. It was humongous and it was practically glowing a wonderful golden colour. The batter was crispy but not hard and not oily, you cannot ask for better there. The actual fish itself was so perfectly soft and cloud like that I wouldn't have even needed teeth to eat it. The taste was just fantastic. Our pup thought so too! I, foolishly, with bigger eyes than my stomach, ordered a side order of onion rings. The onion rings were so fresh and crispy and juicy. I am ashamed to say I couldn't finish them, but they did come home with me! After that, we had dessert, they were out of ice cream but very kindly went to their sister shop and brought us some. I cannot think of anything else to ask for from an eating experience. The staff were warm and welcoming and apologetic for us having to wait for the ice cream. When it only took 5 minutes. We will absolutely be coming back! Tldr: Massive portions, delicious food, friendly staff and dog friendly.
The fish n chips were amazing and staff are fab even when its very busy....we called in again the following morning to have breakfast....full English quality and the pancakes amazing thank you !
Sunny morning on lovely outdoor terrace. Scrambled eggs on toast plentiful, perfect, fresh crisp side salad. Generous . Toasted currant teacake. All toasted perfectly. Staff always lovely. Been many times for beers when staying at sands. First time we ate here today and will definitely we eating brekkie here every day later in 2025 when we stay over a few days. Oh yes and the teapots are cute.
Thursday 6th March Really good food and service Pleasant & friendly staff, in an enjoyable atmosphere. Tried the Vegan Bangkok Badboy Burger, didnt expect anything special, and I was so wrong. I need a supply of those burgers at home, absolutely loved it, a very different burger. Make sure you try it.
Nice place, well organised, big teas!
I popped into Saltwater Cafe Bar in Scarborough a couple of times over the weekend and had a fantastic experience! The coffee was delicious, and they have a good selection of alcoholic drinks too. The quality of the food was good, and the portion sizes were generous. Even though they were incredibly busy, dashing around to serve multiple dining-in orders upstairs and in the outside areas, as well as handling takeaway orders, the staff were consistently warm and friendly. It's clear they work hard to provide excellent service. Highly recommend!
What a lovely establishment. Wonderful to sit in a lovely diner by the sea without feeling ripped off because you’re by the sea. Excellent vegan choices , very friendly and wonderful coffee. Forgot to take photos because we tucked in! Clean plates all round.
