This small café was bustling with locals, creating a lively atmosphere. The interior was charming, and many people brought their dogs, adding to the friendly vibe. The coffee had a nice, slightly bitter taste, which I really enjoyed. I’ll definitely be back—thanks for the great experience!

Shout out to Hope's cafe, Verandah! Hope and her mum were very welcoming and made me a great coffe! The cafe has a really good outdoor area where doggos are welcomed and there is such a friendly environment. They are on Oaxley avenue, next to the Food Market where Whitakers seafood used to be.

Best coffee in Scarborough, hands down. The team here are always so bright, welcoming, and genuinely lovely—it’s the kind of place that makes you feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is both vibrant and peaceful, with beautiful plants and thoughtful little gifts scattered throughout the space. It’s more than just a café—it’s a community. Oh, and the cabinet treats? Absolutely delicious. Mhmm. Whether you’re popping in for a takeaway or settling in for a slow morning, Verandah never misses.

Lovely little coffee shop. Came because the owners came to my Open home and as a serious coffee drinker decided to give it a go. Delightful service, great atmosphere and such an amazing coffee, made my day! :) Keep up the good work!

Delightful local Cafe relatively new and beautifully renovated. It is family run and they are very kind and friendly. I happily ordered but when realised I didn't have any money on me, they were very gracious, patient, kind and gave me the coffee anyway. Thankfully I rechecked my bag after I had walked out, found a credit card I had tucked away and went back to pay. They were grateful but kept reassuring me that it would have been okay anyway.
