Sophellie's Café Review & Tour

I’ve visited Sophellie's café a good number of times now so I thought it was about time I shared my review of it. It’s part of an open area with other things like Kirkleatham museum, a bird sanctuary, a playground and so on which makes it a good place to take families. I visit with my parents, and we tend to have a walk about on the grounds, visit the art exhibitions and go for a coffee in the café.

The café is fairly spacious, with big glass windows, letting a lot of natural light in. The staff are keen to assist and the prices are reasonable. We all ordered a very scrummy, enormous toasted teacake with a hot drink, and I went for a decaffe cappuccino. The coffee is always very good here. They do a nice selection of cakes too if you are after something indulgent. They also serve a range of tempting meals.

Do you enjoy going to cafes too?

Does this look like somewhere you might like to try? :-) Xx

Camfields Espresso Bar Review & Tour

Welcome back; today I’m going to be sharing a café I’ve visited quite a few times now and I’ll be talking through the menu as well as my general experience. The café is located on Saltburn seafront, and they offer a range of beverages, snacks as well as light meals such as paninis etc. I’ve tried a few things on the menu, and overall have been really pleased.

I have had a meal there once, and I ordered a special panini which I really enjoyed. I only really have sweeter things at meal times now because of the sugar and my dental issues but their extensive ice-cream/smoothie range is great if you are after treating yourself. I would be inclined to order one of their smoothies again if I went for lunch one day.

The coffee is generally of a very high standard, and I mostly opt for a decaf latte. The croissants are really buttery and fresh, I think I’ll be having one of those again! I was a bit disappointed with the scones sadly, but they may have been having an off day. 

It’s lovely to sit outside in the summer when the sun is shining, it’s really blissful actually and one of the highlights of visiting the café. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but the staff are welcoming, and there is a lovely atmosphere. Overall I would recommend the café (and Saltburn) for a day out.

Sandside Café Runswick Bay Review & Tour

Welcome back and hope you are all well. Today I’m going to be doing a café review which we visited while on holiday in Runswick Bay last year. Sandside Café is on the sea front of Runswick Bay, and we went in for lunch. So let’s begin…

We went at the height of summer in 2018, and it was fairly busy but we got a table outside and had a lovely coffee. The sun was scorching so we headed inside the café for something to eat. The décor was very pretty and sea themed. We sat by the window and had a spectacular view of Runswick Bay.

Unintentionally we all picked the same thing to eat, we had the prawn salad sandwich on brown bread with side salad and crisps. It was very fresh (and filling!). I had a glass of apple juice which was nicely cooling with the warm weather. 

I would recommend you try Sandside if you are in the Whitby area. We went on the beach afterwards and I got some great photos as well as an ice-cream. We also visited The Runcible Spoon Café on the same holiday and the review is here.

Have you ever been to Runswick Bay?

The Sitting Room Café Review and Tour

Today I’m going to be sharing with you a café located in Saltburn which I visited with my parents at the end of last year. It was a bit of a spur of the moment thing as another café we tried was closed. The feel of The Sitting Room café is definitely trendy, while my parents weren’t sure it was there scene, I personally really enjoyed the visit.

I’ve been a couple of times now and the tea selection is extremely good. On the day I visited with my folks, I had an earl grey tea and shared some buttered toast with my Mum. Both were really tasty, and the presentation of the food and drink was lovely. They had some cakes available which looked promising but I’ve been avoiding any sugary things.

I think this café would appeal to bloggers because it’s a very photogenic place. The cakes tend to vary depending on when you go and their drinks list is impressive. They also open in the evenings if you ever fancy going for a cocktail. The menu is a little pricier but the service is friendly. I would recommend you give the place a try.

The Runcible Spoon Café Review and Tour

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Today I’m back with a review of a café we visited back in the summer when visiting the Runswick Bay area. My Mum did some research into the most popular local cafes to visit and The Runcible Spoon came up. It’s located in Hinderwell and I have a lot of positive things to say about it.

There was a lovely, welcoming atmosphere to the café and it also had a lot of character. If you are a bookworm, I recommend you visit as they have an extensive book selection where all proceeds go to charity. They have some fascinating vintage books too!

I had an unusual fruit smoothie, which was refreshing and lovely. My Mum treated herself to an ice-cream while I think my Dad had a scone. They had a pot of tea I think too. We sat by the window just by the bigger book case. The service was great and we enjoyed out visit, it was one of the things that made our holiday. I imagine it would be so cosy to visit in A/W too!

Does this café seem appealing to you too? 

Do you have any café recommendations? :-) Xx
