Eclectic offerings … Discovered La Farmacia recently whilst driving to Scarborough Beach. In a little row of shops at the corner of St Brigids Terrace, one of the shops had a set of flags blowing in the wind which caught my eye. We decided to try the coffee.
The cafe is very brightly decorated, tiny but very cute with loads of gingerbread houses and cookies everywhere. A good array of take away food on display always cheers me up. We ordered a mango and chia pudding, an espresso and a chocolate smoothie, all of which appeared swiftly and looked and tasted delicious.
The coffee was stand out with an excellent, smooth taste and loads of crema. It came with a little gingerbread biscuit with a strong ginger taste, which was just right. The chia pudding was amazing and very filling with layers of fresh mango.
La Farmacia are going for healthy and they’re succeeding. Because they are offering a lot of gluten-free options and baking a lot of the products in house. There also appears to be no apparent skimping on quality. They’re a little expensive but worth it in my opinion. Kudos.
La Farmacia Doubleview closed in 2016.
Rise and Grind Espresso has opened in its place.
