Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We tried only the coffee, drank very little of it so unfair to give just one star therefore the other star is for the view which is what will carry this cafe through to another year.

We come to this part of the Yorkshire Coast on a regular basis, and almost always come here for something to eat. They have a great choice of food and loads of gorgeous cakes on offer. What we most like is being able to eat...outside under cover. My wife just had beans on toast today, but I had the seafood special which was excellent. Plus, they do a great Mocha.More

We needed coffee and a snack after a walk so stopped here. The first thing that hits you is the great views across the sea, particularly from the outdoor area, where dogs are allowed. The menu covers most snacky things, including some gluten free cakes....The coffee was decent and my orange and cranberry scone was delicious.More

Tryed the breakfast. The menu didn't say what was included. Bit odd. Nice breakfast but the worst sausages ever. Think they were cheap Richmond ones. Bacon and rest of food very nice. Let down by sausages

Breakfast was awful, snotty egg, warm beans, bacon can’t describe and sausage that neither our dog nor the dog on the next table would eat, so we ate the toast and enjoyed the only positive the view over the beach

We love a crab sandwich and these are definitely the best we have had. Even better than the ones we had in Staithes last week. Fresh bread, loads of crab and a lovely side salad and crisps. A great little cafe. We had an early...lunch as we know how busy it gets. Will certainly return..More

Absolute filth, the place need a deep deep clean. I've worked in hospitality for years and my husband is a chef, it always baffles me when the tables and chairs are dirty. What the kitchen must be like if the staff can't clean a chair....Food wasn't great. Spent £30 and I think I could have got better at a bacon buttie van in a lay-by. And 1 toilet for men and women, how is this ok?? I don't want take my daughter to toilet after a man has had his stinking **** in there. Cakes looked amazing if this helps, although we didn't buy one and won't returnMore
