Beckett's coffee shop in Scarborough

Having visited a few years ago we ventured back to enjoy this dog friendly venue not aware that it has changed hands since we last went. The atmosphere was completely different and didn’t appear to be as dog friendly. (Used have jars of dog treats throughout) Saying that water was available on request for pooches. We had drinks and soup and a roll from the lunch specials. Today being ‘Homemade Tomato Soup’ (exact wording from the menu). Unfortunately this soup wasn’t simply a tomato soup, it was extremely spicy and left lips tingling and a sweat on my face!! Now some would love this, but I do not enjoy spicy food and would therefore not have orders this had I known. We mentioned this to the owner who offered some cream which would cool it down a little, if necessary. We advised her to change her menu to say spicy soup! The drinks were delicious and other food did look nice.

Being a severe coeliac and lactose intolerant I'm hard to cater for. After googling and finding the gluten free restaurant we wanted to go to closed we went into beckett of whitby. They were amazing and really helped me find something on the menu I could eat, which was delicious. The staff were really friendly and went over and above to help me which I really appreciated. Highly recommend.

Excellent independent cafe with quirky varied menu had the breakfast special of smashed avocado on toast which was great. Staff very friendly and reasonably priced so would recommend if you are in the vicinity!

Had breakfast there. Great place to start your day in Whitby. Very cosy and warm. Staff extremely friendly and helpful . Do recommend.

Had a lovely breakfast here staff were very nice and attentive. Buddha bowl with yoghurt fruit and granola with some brown toast and a tasty breakfast. Very good

Very friendly, tasty food and great coffee. The scrambled egg was a particular highlight! The sausages were lower quality than my preference, but didn't spoil an otherwise delightful breakfast

Great service, nice lady that served us, lovely and well made food!

So so. Fry up was average at best, for the price £13 with a can of Max Pepsi, I was expecting better quality gear, especially the bacon and sausages.. Service was excellent and very clean place.

Amazing food and service. Highly recommend. It’s worth going on the back streets to find these amazing independent cafes.

This was our first visit and it was lovely. Nice atmosphere and attentive, friendly service. A couple of us are vegan and they were very accommodating. I got an oat milk latte and their vegan breakfast. The breakfast was really nice - cooked lightly with no greasiness at all. The sausages were yummy and unlike many other places they weren’t one of the big recognisable brands which was refreshing. The tofu scramble had greens through it (spring onions and spinach I think). Only minor niggle was the extra charge for plant milk which is a pet hate but at least was clearly stated on the menu. Lovely visit and we’ll be back soon.

Our 1st time in Witby and we were out walking our dog. Whilst looking at google maps my wife spoke with some ladies for directions ro where we would find coffee shop and if they had any recomendstions that would take dogs. So off we set for Beckett's. Staff friendly snd cusotmer focussed with a friendly welcome. Great food

Sandwiches all absolutely lovely. Very chilled out, relaxing spot to get some breakfast. Definitely recommend!

Excellent quality unique products. Friendly staff very efficient with nothing being a problem. Prime and price was great

Had breakfast here with my family (and dog). Best service we’ve had in years. Food was hot and cooked to perfection. Will be visiting again

Beckett’s is a small lovely cafe, the people are lovely and they have a very versatile menu. And the food is freshly prepared and delicious.

Lovely little cafe, super helpful and polite, even made me a smaller portion of food for my little boy! Would deffo reccomend 🥰

Very Disappointing... this place used to be amazing...food always very the best..a great assortment of imaginative panini's, the best variety of homemade soups and cakes to die for. Looks like it's been taken over...such a shame. Won't be going back.

Weather's is cold and very wet, so the warm welcome and stunning full English breakfast have cheered me up. Never seen such a generous plate of food. Roast potatoes instead of hash browns, and poached rather than fried egg. Excellent! Will visit again next time I'm in Whitby.

Warm and very good! A perfect place to escape the cold winds of Whitby.

Lovely lady and lovely food. We were made most welcome give extra drink because we had to wait. She made our Cocker Spaniels welcome and got them a drink too.

Staff freindly and acommodating. Only had coffee and cake, as had already had breakfast. Really good coffee and tried a piece of homemade guinness cake, was amazing! My husband not bothered for cake, but tried it, and ended up eating half, it was so delicious.

Not the same anymore as what it use to be. Sandwiches are bland and flavourless. Hardly any dips or sauces served with lunch items - requested more and literally got a tea spoon. Understand there has been a change of owners since I was here in Whitby last time but it’s not really serving the nice sandwiches and cakes that it use too.

Top quality veggie/gulten free breakfast, as would be the original full English we're sure. Quick service with a smile.. we will be back!

What a fabulous dog friendly cafe that makes you and your pooch feel so very welcome. We visit every day when in Whitby and can honestly say that the coffee and homemade cakes are just awesome. The menu has something for everybody's taste and you certainly will not be disappointed. The owners and staff go out of their way to create an environment that you will want to return to again and again. Long live the small businesses. We wish you well and long may Becketts continue. X

Had 2 lovely pieces of cake, lemon drizzle was extra special and the coffee was nice and strong as we like it . Highly recommend this place

I had the best tomato soup of my life, so glad we popped in!

Fab little place for breakfast and more. Great local coffee served and the breakfast menu (til 1130) has great variety. Thanks to all at Beckett's

Personal service and accommodating. Cake fresh and delicious Dog friendly

Had a light lunch here last week. Have to say my Spiced Coconut chickpea and lentil "soup" was exceptional . Very reasonably priced food. Will return when we next visit Whitby

My first visit - had a delicious Buddha Bowl for lunch - all really tasty, fresh and healthy ingredients paired with a very tasty coffee. Lovely informal atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back - and not on my own next time.

What a find! The best vegan breakfast we have ever had, so went back the next day for lunch which was also stunning! Really tasty choices, large choice of teas and coffee, caters for all including furry friends. The owners Julie and Liam were lovely, really welcoming and clearly passionate about giving their customers the best experience. We so enjoyed chatting with them and obviously eating their food!! We will be coming back to Whitby especially to visit Becketts. Thank you for making our holiday extra special xx

I highly recommend Beckett's on Skinner Street. Great vegan options and very friendly service. Lovely homemade soups and vegan cake!

We loved it and so did our 2 dogs, Stanley and Cooper. Whilst other placed might be a tad cheaper you get what you pay both in terms of food and the customer service. Excellent in all departments, we will be back.

This was our first visit, great food and very friendly service…had the Tofu Scrambled Egg on Sourdough….excellent. Will definitely visit again !

A great cooked breakfast and flat white coffee. Lovely service and the place looks great. Some interesting cakes on display. The menu has changed quite a bit with the new owners. Will definitely go back. Thanks .

Terrible! The soup had no flavour. The gluten free toast was not toasted and smothered in margarine despite asking for butter.

Great coffee and the side salad with lunch was lovely. But such a shame the amazing paninis that Becketts was famous for seemed to have gone. The toastie I had was not great seemed to have lots of tomato purée in it. Wouldn’t order it again. Please bring back the old paninis!

1st time in with either new staff or new owners. Coffee so hot it burned my tongue and lips - no permanent damage will be okay again within a week! Was given some cold milk to cool it down (which I asked for). Scone was like a cheap shop bought scone. Think need to invest in a milk thermometer! £6 - photo below, staff had no idea what I was talking about so not seasoned baristas or coffee drinkers! No sandwiches (were going to have as machine had broken).

Excellent vegan breakfast and a lovely coffee with oat milk served here. Breakfast included: sausages, mushrooms, tomato, avocado, potatoes, beans, scrambled tofu and toast! Thank you so much, really enjoyed it!

Been visiting here for years but now appears to be under new ownership and we were not disappointed. Friendly staff, quick service, lovely hot coffee and good breakfast menu with food freshly made and cooked to order.

We went for breakfast on two mornings while attending the Levitation electronica music festival. The range of vegan and vegetarian food was substantial and my wife had the meat option on a cooked breakfast and sausage and egg sandwich over the two days. Really attentive staff, friendly and the food was top notch. I usually visit Whitby once a year and this is a must visit for a cooked breakfast option. Recommended but gets very busy due to the popularity of the place.

Very, very good. Snug and cosy, dog friendly café. Friendly and welcoming service. Nota bene: hot food stops being served at 2pm. Incredible range of teas available. Very reasonably priced menu with good choices for vegetarians and vegans. I had the spiced coconut, chickpea and lentil soup which was also gluten free. It was a good portion and very thick and tasty. Lovely clean and nice smelling loo. Really liked it here at Beckett's and shall definitely revisit again. Recommended.

Went for lunch, arrived at 2.05pm and we were told they don't serve hot food after 2pm. We were famished. Just didn't feel the same welcome we used to enjoy and funnily enough it was the first time in 11 years our old dog didn't stand at the door waiting to get in. Disappointing that they wouldn't accommodate us, clearly trade must be good. won't go again where we're not welcome.

Hot chocolate and cake to die for, well worth the trek away from the main tourist area. In fact, I think the walk burns off the exact same amount of calories which you will intake, in cake and chocolate. Which makes everything zero calories. Win win in my book.

GORGEOUS gourmet tasting food, I had the coconut soup which is divine! The cakes are homemade and also beautiful! Coffee is exceptional! I am Gluten Free as a coeliac and had no problems here at all. Lovely staff who couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Under new management and a may take a little while to stabalise. Doggies made very welcome. Check website for opening days and times. The toilet is up 2 generous steps, watch out when coming out of the door. Also the washbasin hot water can be very HOT. Some on street parking.

It was a Wednesday and this cafe seemed to be one of the very few open. Three of us had their soups, coconut and lentil; and tomato and lentil. They were very substantial thick bowls of what was more like dhal than a soup, and very tasty.

Just had lunch here. Lovely panini and Buddha bowl. Cake was very moist and tasty. Friendly staff. Wish we had found it sooner as off home tomorrow

Best soup ever and great choice. Cakes unbelievably moist, and fab paninis. Plus a delightful atmosphere.

Salad was very tired and wilted and needed to be replaced with fresh crisp salad leaves Bread was not fresh and was breaking up as we tried to eat our panini The filling was not what we are used to as when the previous owners were there the beckaninis were bursting at the seams We would have liked to finish on a nice slice of cake but the selection was minimal and sparse to say the least Not a single table check to enquire whether the food was ok and we were happy with our selection The dragon sausage was quite tangy and not what we’re used to Veggie bowl options on the menu but no bowl option for meat eaters Also far too many dogs allowed in at the same time in a relatively small space Quite disappointed to say the least and definitely crossed off the list for the future

The menu is not extensive but all the options are top notch! We had vegan spiced coconut and lentil soup and every mouthful was a dream!!! It was dog friendly too and they provided towels for the dogs to dry their paws on but we used them to settle the dogs who are used to lying on blankets, the dogs felt comfortable and settled straight away and soon dozed off to sleep.

A superb choice of sticky baked cakes and lose leaf herbal teas. There's also a good selection of second hand books to read and buy while there. Would highly recommend going here.

Try the breakfast panini, my partner loved it!

Wonderful people and wonderful place

Yummy cake as always, good coffee and a sprinkling of local history what more could you ask for

Great choice of soup and cake all home made. A little gem of a place. 💎

Beautiful place wonderful cakes friendly service. Not just cakes, the Welsh dragon sausage becconini is amazing too.

Amazing cosy little cafe. All the staff very friendly and welcoming. Travelling on my own with dogs can be stressful so being able to just sit and eat cake with the dogs was amazing. The cake was beautiful! Just a massive thank you to the staff for all their help , it was my birthday when I visited and I really enjoyed just being able to sit eat cake and read my book for an hour with my dogs.

Needing a vegan diet we searched in Whitby for a suitable place to eat. We found this very friendly and welcoming cafe serving a beautiful spiced coconut, chickpea and lentil soup. It was absolutely delicious! We will certainly come here again the next time we're in Whitby. Thank you.

Just glorious - for us and for the dogs

Super local place to take your dog and for yourself. Excellent cake.

Was Recommended by a friend. Loved this Place.Quality Food and service. Enjoyed the soup and bread .Then the cake mmmm 🎂 👍

Excellent place to visit, found this little gem of a place from trip advisor, and definitely worth the visit, food and service excellently friendly, great choice of food, home made soups, panini's. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic cake and lovely people.

Really friendly cafe. Lovely food, panini's and soup on the menu. Also very generous slices of cake. Great coffee serving decaf as well as regular coffee.

Amazing wee cafe. Lovely latte. Dog friendly. Dog towels. Spotless. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Good brilliant. Dog treats much appreciated !

Absolutely amazing food ..homemade gorgeous soups and cakes to die for ..selection of teas and vegan options too ..want to take the cook back to Bristol ..a must if you visit Whitby ..very friendly too

If you like coffee and books this is the place for you.

My favourite coffee and cake place in the whole world. The Beckinnies are superb.

Very nice cafe, lovely friendly staff. The food was tasty and really good value the ‘beckaninis’ make a nice lunch. It is small so get there early for lunch.

Great food and the owners and staff are brilliant we love coming over

Best tea & cake for miles around

Wonderful little coffee shop, and even better staff! Great experience, and having that little library section is amazing! Can't wait to go back!

Been coming for years and still love this little cafe in whitby weather just for cake or light bite worth a stop

Excellent coffee, beautiful cake, great staff. What more can you ask for?

Friendly staff and brilliant food!

Charming and welcoming little place. Homemade cakes which you get a big slab of! I had chocolate and butterscotch. Alot of pre loved books for sale here too.

Dragon sausage sandwich was mahoosive! Only loses a star for lack of vegan cake!

Lovely food, understood what veganism is, friendly staff, generous portion sizes, and good value too.

Super friendly, very helpful and dog's more than welcome. Food was delicious too.

What a great place, brilliant choice of soups. Nice coffee.

Nipped via Whitby on the way back from Redcar. Great find in our short time there, Doggy friendly and lovely food and drinks. Thanks ☺️

Great cafe, really friendly welcome, food was spot on and those home made cakes, just heavenly and dog friendly to boot

The staff are always friendly. The slices of cake are huge and delicious. The Beckaninies (like a panini but better) are excellent. There are second-hand books to buy and it's dog friendly. The only downside is, it is a small cafe, so you might not always get a table.

Visit each time we go to Whitby for coffee and a very large portion of cake. I chose Baileys Coffee cake which, unfortunately for me, tasted as though was made with a nut flavoured version of Baileys so wasn't as tasty as I hoped. Coffee was excellent though, gentleman serving went to great pains to understand my particular coffee likes/dislikes.

The staff here are wonderful! The food is delicious and they are very accommodating to people's different needs. Excellent experience!

Nice coffee and crumpets lovely place and staff

Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and dog-friendly. Wonderful cakes and good coffee. The opportunity to buy from a wide range of 2nd hand books is an added bonus.

Really nice cafe, with attentive staff and good food. Home made cakes are to die for with enormous slices. Clean toilet room.

Well worth a visit. Lots of choice of teas and coffee. Large slices of home made cake. Well priced

Lovely homemade cakes large portions

Delicious cakes. Great coffee. Not a huge amount of space.

What can I say, just lovely, cakes, coffee, a warm welcome and dog friendly with a free doggie treats jar. It's always a destination café when we are in Whitby.

Always come to becketts for lunch when I visit whitby! The toasties are amazing and the cakes are delicious too! It's a cosy little cafe with hearty food and lovely staff! What more could you ask for!

Delightfull little cafe with delicious Bekannis (extra nice paninis) & wonderful moist home made cakes. Walls lined with books to browse or buy. Off the main tourist part of town so not too crowded.

Great service, lovely food and great tasting coffee. We ran in landing at 230pm, little one urgent for the toilet, 5 of us and only tables for 4. The staff were friendly and helpful, let us straight in at first only thinking we wanted the toilet which was super kind. Then we ordered a belly filling order of pannis and soup, milkshakes and coffees - everything was delicious. The end bill was reasonable and as I mentioned the staff were friendly and accommodating. Nice place, next time we'll come without the kids to enjoy the atmosphere fully.

Amazing cakes! And lovely staff!

Awesome family run cafe. Dog friendly. Great choice of coffee's and homemade food. Will stop in again when in Whitby. Highly recommend 👌

Lovely place with great food and nice friendly staff.

Dropped by earlier today for cake and coffee. Both were wonderful and the staff friendly. This is a lovely little eatery with a good selection of homemade cakes, sandwiches and drinks. Recommended
