Stray Cafe - Redcar and Cleveland

When here today 28th January, placed an order for 3 drink (2 hot, 1 can) and also 3 food (toastie, bacon bun, tea cake) my tea cake came before any other food or drinks it was over cooked and my mouth was so dry I didn’t have a drink to wash it down with as I was still waiting for it to be made. The bacon looked as if it hadn’t even seen the pan, the toastie was lovely my son said but you can’t go wrong with that. The staff are miserable, and young so I’m guessing the owner only wants to pay minimum wage, the lady cooking to food was rude and I’m guessing a smile was out of the question for her, I saw a young girl has flip flop on which I’m sure isn’t right! The cafe itself could do with a deep clean the skirting boards were dirty the grout in the toilet filthy and the toilet seat doesn’t seen bleach in a while either. I’ve very disappointed as this use to be a lovely cafe and it’s just gone down hill over the last few years, I won’t be returning.

What a cold/terrible place this is !!! The service was appalling, slow, and the staff looked like they were ready to hang themselves NEVER again

Went today Sunday 14th August for an impromptu breakfast. I opted for the jumbo breakfast and a cup of tea. The food service was prompt and the presentation of the breakfast was excellent and the toast even came with 2 sachets of Lurpack butter. It's in a lovely location,situated right on the coast with a view out to sea gives you a relaxed eating experience. Would definitely go again and would recommend to anyone.

The customer service was beyond poor, I waited about five minutes to be asked for my order despite there being nobody in the queue. I wanted a tea and a latte. The guy asked if we were drinking inside or outside. I told him outside. He gave me a spoon with 11 on it and asked me to wait outside. I must have waited a good 20 minutes when a young lad came out with two cups, said No.11 by the time I answered he had gone around the side of the building. He came back with the two cups and walked past me. The man who served me said the customer is there and pointed at me. The lad gave me the cups. I told him his service was poor and asked if there was any sugar. His reply was, I didn't know you wanted any then he walked away. I left the coffee and Tea on the table with the Spoon. I am very disappointed with the level of service I received today.

No-frills cabin by the beach in Redcar, serving every possible combination of eggs, omelette, chips, quiche, beans, salad imaginable, plus a good selection of cakes. Friendly staff and good prices. A winner!
