Scarborough Evening News reports........
The Cockleshell Café is a true community café. It is situated on Seamer Road just before Falsgrave, by the side of St James' Church and Community Art Centre.
The entrance is round the back of the Art Centre past a pretty garden and boxes full of flowering plants. There is a yard with a couple of old-type “school” tables and chairs and again lovely flowers in trellis boxes on the walls. A short flight of steps lead inside. (but there is disabled access through the main Hall.)
The interior is not very large with six or seven round tables. Craft work was being done by two ladies at one of these; we were told that Wednesday is craft day where if you wish you can take along any art/craft/ knitting work. We agreed that it seems a nice way of breaking the ice and getting to know others if you are new to the area or live alone. Posters and pictures are on a community notice board along with brochures, one of which explains “Why the Cockleshell Café?”, telling how the name came from St James, who is the patron saint of pilgrims, and that they used to attach a scallop or cockleshell as a badge of their pilgrimage.
The cafe is counter service with a super selection of home-made cakes and sandwiches, soup and jacket potatoes.
The service was great and very friendly.
Quote from a satisfied diner....
"Aside from the lovely surroundings in doors and outdoors I was and have been delighted with the prices and generous servings I have received each visit.
The food each time I have gone has kept its delicious quality I am pleased to report and service has always been friendly!
