Parked on the clifftop free for 3 hours, then rode the cliff lift with a return ticket. Short walk up to the Clock for a quick coffee and a choccy flapjack. Sat outside in the autumn sun 16c lovely view over the bay and beyond.Short walk back to the lift.Very nice!

It’s certainly a throwback, but a genuine treat because of it. The views are outstanding and the place is a real pleasant vibe.Feels like not much has changed here since the eighties; the brews are proper, the tray bakes and cakes are a perfect accompaniment.Worth the trip and close to the Italian gardens, which are a dead nice place for a stroll.Like plenty of others have mentioned, remember to bring cash.

Good cafe food (sandwiches, scones, jacket potatoes, panini's, a few hot dishes etc), friendly, accomodating staff and some of the best views in Scarborough on a sunny day. Perfect for lunch or an early tea after a day on the south beach.

A little gem. The place in Scarborough to relax for a while and enjoy the views over the beach and harbour whilst enjoying a pot of tea and their excellent homemade cakes and scones.They also do breakfasts and light lunches made when ordered. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Recommended.
