Greensmith Thackwray - Scarborough

Tonnes of options for coffee in Scarborough but don’t even bother going anywhere else. These guys are where it’s at. Great vibe. Really warm and friendly staff. Dog friendly. Locally produced coffee. Not much you can ask for to be honest. We didn’t eat but i had food envy for my whole visit looking at other tables. Shout out to the friendly fella didn’t get his name but has wicked sleeve tattoo) who worked there that took the time to ask where we were from and give our dog a few treats. Such a small simple touch but not being from the local area made us feel right at home and welcome. Other cafes/bars could definitely learn a thing or two from this place. Their coffee was top class too. Even Grabbed a bag to take home with us. 1000% would recommend

Amazing coffee made expertly using local roasted beans. Super friendly service with delicious cakes. Really clean coffee shop …. Which the “chains” could learn from

I have been regularly coming to Greensmith coffee shop since I came home to Scarborough four years ago. I return here time and time again because the coffee is consistently of a high quality, always served promptly even when busy, the cakes and scones are incredible and the cafe itself is just beautiful and always bustling. I would direct anyone here -it is certain that the coffee is always fantastic. A little gem of a coffee shop that needs to be visited.

Lovely cup of coffee.... Dreadful porridge, not cooked, just partly cooked oats in the bottom of a bowl of hot milk. Limp lack lustre salad garnish...the usual bag of mixed, slightly over their best, leaves with cherry tomato halves and cucumber. Great for brownie and coffee but I wouldn't go again for food

I first discovered Greensmith's, not long after they opened, on a bitterly cold early Spring day. Their attractive frontage caught my eye, but the interior is just as pleasant. The service is always friendly, the Northwoods coffee good, and they do some excellent cakes, some of which are vegan. The food menu is fairly short, but I have had some nice soups here. However, I was unimpressed with the mushroom on toast I had on my most recent visit. There was no mention of rocket being part of this dish, and while I am in no way averse to rocket, the dish arrived, completely covered in the stuff. I took a bite, but couldn't taste the mushrooms, so I decided to remove some of the rocket. As I began to do so, I couldn't find any mushrooms, so I kept on until all the rocket was on the side of the plate. You can see what this revealed from my photo, 2 dry-tasting pieces of sourdough, with barely any mushrooms. They are just common or garden mushrooms, not truffles, couldn't I have a few more for £6.50 please?
