Emmas Cafe is one of those places that time forgot! I used to go here every Saturday with my Nana…read morewho used it as a regular meeting spot for her and her friends. They offer tea coffee and soft drinks and a range of breakfast snacks, such as toast and butter, toasted tea cakes and bacon butties! They also have a selection of cakes and pastries and I always used to go for the chocolate eclair - still do! yum Emmas is located on Huntris Row, which is in the centre of Scarborough town centre - but is only a short walk from the seafront - If you can face the 100+ steps (or you can cheat and take the lift!)

Great food and pleasant atmosphere. Service was prompt and polite. Very close to the harbour and…read moreother sites.

Theres a small outdoor seating area, which is basically just a sectioned off area on the high street, but the inside is much bigger than you'd expect - its three levels, so theres usually plenty of room even in the busiest periods, and the seating varies from the standard chairs to the more comfortable leather sofas. Theres a wide range of food ion the menu or the daily specials board, from sandwiches and cakes to full meals. the food is unpretentious and very nice. Prices are reasonable and waitress service is attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Coffees are a step above the usual standard of seaside cafe coffee, and you never feel rushed when you're in there. Highly recommended and one of Scarboroughs better cafes.

The reasonably priced menu offers everything from porridge with maple syrup to several different kinds of welsh rarebit via cinnamon toast and tea takes - all of which tasted delicious.

Now this is a reference to a local newspaper whereby customers leave feedback on various eateries. To put a poster like this up tells me you have something to hide or have had a bad review and didn't like it. What struck me immediately is how clean and tastefully decorated the place was and there was no smell of grease or anything like that. There were only two other people in there and my friend and I ordered the big breakfast each at £6.50. This review is based upon that breakfast. I cannot comment on what is an extensive menu. The orange juice that came with the breakfast was served in the smallest glass I have ever seen in a cafe, probably only 15ml worth. Then the server brought us our tea with cups and saucers stacked and just plonked them down and said "sort yourselves out." Then the toast came, which, although nice, was cold by the time the breakfast came. The eggs were cooked just how I like them but I am sorry to say that was all I can say positive about it. The bacon was woefully underdone and very fatty. The sausage was a cheap, 10 for 50p type, which had been deep fried. Could not eat it. The beans and tomato also underdone. The hash brown cheap and nasty. The mushrooms had also been deep fried and consequently retained all their moisture so just turned to mush. The black pudding was also underdone and soaked in fat. The less said about the fried bread the better. So poor service, poor food but nice decor and eggs.

It changed hands more than once so didn't know what to expect. I was surprised at how posh it seemed. We went in the afternoon but it was immediately clear it is more than just a coffee shop. They open in the evenings with a far from ordinary menu.I think the way we were served is probably the same as the evening service even for toasted teacake and a pot of tea.My friend enjoyed scone and cream. My toasted tea cake was the best I have ever had _nicely soft on the outside and toasted just right in the middle. There were people in having a coffee and chatting an enjoying the decor . A nice place to meetup.
