Best scone I have had in a very long time. Highly recommended if you are in the area to try this place.

We have visited this cafe on a few occasions but sadly won't be coming back anytime soon. We had a tea and a coffee as we was hoping to grab something when we came back up. My husband asked to use the toilet and was refused and told to go down and use the free toilet. I have no idea why as on other visits we have been able to. The drinks used to be in China cups and as I have tea I used to get a teapot. All i got this time was a papercup. We decided not to spend any further money in this cafe due to the lack of facilities.

Lovely fresh and large scone with nice fruity jam and cream. Lovely views over the bay also right at the top of the cliff railway

Lovely cafe with amazing views. I have been on a gluten free diet all my life and this cafe had so much to offer. The gf steak pasty I had was delicious with fantastic pastry. I just wish I’d had room to try a gf scone as well!

Staff were so friendly and helpful even though they were clearly very busy. They took their time to talk to people about their food and service. Food was quickly prepared and delicious.

We were very disappointed with this cafe but the good first it has a great view thats it. Had tasteless scones, the service was extremely disorganised and unfriendly looks rather dirty. Lots of other lovely places to eat i would avoid this place on our next visit.

A small cafe , more outside seating than inside , but well worth stopping for light meals , snacks and drinks. The scones were superb, large , very fresh , delicious and associated with clotted cream and a pot of tea. Perfect, and all served by very friendly and helpful staff.

Visited on Sunday 19/02/23. Post our first seasonal ride up the Cliff Railway, we tried out the Cliff Top Cafe and their famous "Giant" scones. Note not so giant as well as quite dry and tasteless. Disappointing. Disposable crockery and cutlery are poor when all other sites are using crockery and metal cutlery again.

Dis not stop for food, although it did look OK- pleasant ride down the cliff face £3.50 pp each way, a return ticket was not an option thou ? - feel like that should be an option

The view is tremendous. That is why I insisted on this cafe. Everyone in the group , five people, had pasties. Mine was supposed to be cheese (and onion from memory) but they gave me a vegetable one instead, this I found out when I bit into it and thought it tasted off for a cheesy one . I swapped it with a family member. After we had ordered, we had to make numerous trips from the cafe to our seating areas, with the drinks and pasties. No tray was offered and I didn’t see any available. The staff saw us struggling but didn’t offer any assistance. It was a bit busy, I don’t know if that is why. I felt the quality of the food was okay but nothing special.
