Bazil & Co, Scarborough

THIS café is a heaven for cake lovers, with over 30 sweet treats to tempt them on any given day.

Owner Tony Torto says his range would be among the largest on the Peninsula and word is spreading.

“We have built up a big following of cake eaters. Our cakes (also) cater for the gluten intolerant and vegans,” he says. A sweet treat would not taste as good without a great cup of coffee.

“Being of Italian origin, I am very fussy about my coffee and pride myself on serving high quality coffee to our customers,” he says.

There are 12 bagel options for lunch, and a breakfast menu including smoked salmon, halloumi and avocado.

Bazil & Co is open Tuesday to Sunday, with operating hours currently altered slightly. Find out more here.
