Welcome to Sha-Ka Coffee House & Eatery

“ Lovely and kind place to have a brunch. My wife and I had the Tacos and pokebowl with side of fries and coffee. Its a cozy spot with pleasant staff who are very friendly and welcoming. The chef was kind enough to explain the meal prep and offered to even make the fish not beer-battered. The tacos were filling and we enjoyed the pokebowl. The side of fries was quite delicious, plenty and we appreciate the side of sauces. A very good spot for brunch indeed with healthy items to indulge. Many thanks ”

“ Absolute gem of a place! Delicious, fresh food with great flavours and beautifully presented. We loved playing the games with the kids while we had our lunch in a super cosy, quirky and cool interior. Great service- couldn't be friendlier or more helpful and lovely. Menu for the kids and we loved the cakes and desserts. Wow. ”

“ Super cute little restaurant with a lovely Hawaiian vibe – incredibly friendly and attentive service, and absolutely delicious vegan as well as pescatarian dishes. The cakes and tarts are a real highlight, with a wide vegan selection! A peaceful retreat away from the crowded tourist promenade – a true hidden gem! Would happily come back any time! ”

“ What a find. The welcome and atmosphere from the outset was sincere and lovely. The food was absolutely amazing. They cook to order. The offerings and portions are plentiful. Scarborough you are very lucky to have this gem. ”

“ Love this place. It's really cute, the owners are friendly and the food is delicious. We've been twice in the space of just a few days and would be regulars if we lived in Scarborough. I've had tacos both times and my husband's had a Buddha bowl. The coffee is good, the cakes are good, there's plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and it's dog-friendly too. What more could you ask? ”

“ There are less than a handful of really good, that is consistently good, cafeteria restaurants hereabouts. Sha-Ka is one of 'em. I try to get along whenever I'm in town, which often doubles up with a beach walk, tide willing. There is a loosely hawaiian theme in this lovely little place. Ruth and Tim are always welcoming and are proud of their menu, and with very good reason. But don't tell too many folk, I for one would like to preserve Sha-Ka just the way it is... ”

“ This little independent coffee shop is an absolute gem. The coffee is excellent, and their flat white is one of the best I’ve had—smooth, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. The real highlight, though, is the homemade cake. Fresh, generous, and full of flavour, it’s the kind of baking that will keep you coming back A cosy spot with great quality and genuine passion behind everything they serve. Thank you for the lemon cake, it will be enjoyed back home in Leeds. ”

“ This is lovely little spot to get some lunch! The poke bowls were delicious and a really generous portion, the hot chocolate was incredible and the cakes too! There are various little games to play at the table. A really welcoming environment, would love to come back here! ”
