The Clock Cafe

Great place to enjoy a fantastic view of Scarborough and it's beach and harbour. Outside seating in an elevated position makes for a special experience especially when the weather is favourable. Snacks are reasonably priced and attractively presented. The path leading north from the cafe passes through pretty gardens and there is a lovely play area for children. Well worth a visit. Kid-friendliness: All welcome

Been going there for years. I grew up on South Cliff. I like the way it hasn’t changed since I was a boy. Went today after giving a miss for a year as it was getting hard to get a table outside because of its increasing popularity. I’m sorry to say I won’t be rushing back. It’s just too unkept now, it’s not like me to complain about the toilets but they really were awful. The cafes gone downhill since last year.

So old fashioned. Looks quaint and old. Doesn't take card payments. Has lovely cake and scones. The views across the bay to the harbour and the castle are great on a clear day. The walks along the cliff paths behind the cafe are very pleasant too.

Bit of a walk to get to, but well worth it for the stunning views.
