Witsend Cafe

Whilst walking Cleveland Way this café is just by the car park and easily missed as you come to down of the cliffs into the village of Sandsend The small frontage of this café is deceptive as we went in we were directed to the garden, initialling thinking they do not want us scruffs in the café, however when you see the lovely garden with beautiful flowers and large solid wooden tables ( not the wobbly ones). I see why everyone sent to garden. As early in day we opted for a cooked breakfast which for 12GBP thought it was reasonable as included tea and toast. Bacon sandwich’s were about 6 so bit pricier. The breakfast was pleasant The staff a young lad was very pleasant as well as couple of ladies, all very polite and pleasant. As alfresco it was nice no smoking in the garden and when someone was a member of staff politely reminded the person who seemed “exempt” and “entitled” about smoking, then we heard Tripadvisor as a vague threat. Thank you for you no smoking policy, it’s your café. We would recommend.

Dog friendly café with lots of different options catering for all dietary needs. Great coffee and lovely vegan scones amongst a very wide range of cakes and snacks. Didn't check out the meals as it was mid afternoon but if the cakes were anything to go buy, they should be great. Recommended, especially if you're then planning to walk up the hill to Lythe/continue along the Cleveland Way
