Java in Scarborough

We come here every time we visit Whitby and it never disappoints. Amazing breakfasts to fill you up for the day and delicious fruity smoothies.

Delicious food. The coffee was amazing. Food was very well presented. 10/10. Definitely will be returning when back in Whitby. I had the Eggs Benedict with lashing of Hollandaise sauce with the most prefect poached eggs and my partner had Avocado smash which he said it just hit the spot - just what he wanted. Highly recommended.

Wow wow A great welcome Amazing coffee and delicious “ rascal “ Thank you wish I could have returned for a meal the food looked great Oh and fantastically clean loos

Ordered vegan option for breakfast and really nice but not as described on menu. Partner had full English beans cold. Coffee nice and friendly staff

Popped into this little cafe for a bit of brunch. The staff were really friendly and the food was good I have Eggs Benedict and the portion was huge and very tasty Good value for money and would highly recommend

We had the full English. Very tasty food, quality ingredients, well presented and good value for money. 10/10! We came back for another later in the week

Had the yummiest lunch here with the family. Got a chicken panini with side of skin on chips and they were incredible. Large portion size and delicious garlic sauce on the side.

i stumbled upon java online when searching for cafes in whitby that serve good vegan food. i am so glad that i decided to come here because it was so wonderful! i got there during the breakfast hours and ordered the vegan burrito with hash browns. containing tofu, veggie sausage, avocado, peppers, onions, vegan cheese, and much more, it was completely STUNNING. the dish was well thought out, authentic and packed with fresh flavour. i’m so impressed with this dish as well as the cafe itself and would recommend to everyone. the quality is top notch.

We went to Java Cafe whilst on holiday in Whitby. We have definitely found an absolute gem in this cafe!! We had a wonderful breakfast and coffees. Incredible value for money and the food was simply amazing. The quality of the ingredients, well presented and absolutely delicious. Not only this, the staff were brilliant and accommodating with our young children too. This is a lovely hidden away cafe that we will be returning to again and again!

Lovely breakfast, just what we needed after a long drive to Whitby. Chose here because the reviews said there were plenty of vegan and gluten free options, and they were right! We enjoyed the veggie breakfasts very much, well cooked with a great coffee to go with it. Dog friendly too and lovely serving staff. Would recommend and would come again!

Very impressed with our visit. Went for breakfast and loved the food, good menu (with decent vegetarian options) and reasonably priced. Great selection of coffees and smoothies too. Would definitely return!

Gorgeous breakfast. Ate here twice on our little stay in Whitby. Staff so welcoming and friendly. Beautiful decoration, loads of little touches like light up mirrors in her bathroom. Incredible food, really well presented and quality ingredients. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heard great things from some people regarding this place. Me and my partner (and the two dogs) Saturday here at it was beautiful. We had a satay wrap, hallumi wrap and a portion of pulled pork loaded fries. The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. ...I was meant to take a picture but it looked to good to wait to eat. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The cafe itself us very central in whitby and, very calm and chilled out inside. Hugely recommend this place !

Passed here going backwards and forwards a few times went in for early morning breakfast, my other half had pancakes top with strawberries cream maplesyrup and blue berries. I had a sausage and egg tea cake both good but I wished I had chosen the pancakes! Look and tasted great. Anyway nice atmosphere and not quite as rushed as the witherspoon round the corner good!

Lovely spot for breakfast! The eggs Benedict was great. Great coffee. Great full English breakfast too! Very relaxing experience.

Great little cafe. Dog friendly (downstairs only) Drinks were great and staff friendly. Perfect location just off the main seafront.

Once we found this place we went every single following day for the rest of our stay in Whitby. The staff made an effort to be incredibly friendly and welcoming, while clearly very busy, and the food arrived quickly, hot and freshly made. Fair pricing considering everything arrived with great presentation, great portion size (although we could never just order once thing each with such an amazing menu and always took home a takeaway box) and really great taste, so happy we found this cafe, we thoroughly enjoyed every meal and every visit. Perfect for keeping out of the rain/ people watching + dog friendly!!! Really amazing work being done here

Really nice cafe for breakfast and opens early. Food was lovely and good portions, decent size coffee Highly reccomend

We popped in on our way back to the car for a coffee and a slice of cake. The coffee was bitter and the cake was hard and dry, clearly chilled too much. The worst thing about the place is the smell of grease from the deep fat fryer. It’s a bit confused, I’m not sure if it’s a cafe, restaurant or bar.

The best nachos in the world. plenty of cheese in mac n cheese.😋would write 10,000 stars if i could.

Great place for breakfast - lots of different and unusual options including specials such as breakfast burrito. Can highly recommend the smashed avocado!

We went here as it was chucking it down in Whitby and we needed somewhere dry. Very plesantly surprised that this small establishment packs such a foodie punch. The best ever Caesar salad I have had, so fresh, succulent chicken, crunchy croutons. Rest of the family were very happy - the wrap my wife had looked superb. Coffees were also goood to finish. I'd go here again.

Great coffee, what more is there to say! Generous breakfasts (one full English enough for 2), fast friendly service, central Whitby. And, choose your own music via Alexa upstairs! Recommend.

What a place! Great staff, food, atmosphere, prices, toilets, AND dog friendly. Fully loaded delicious bacon butty and PROPER smoothies. Absolutely fantastic! Coffee amazing too :)

The coffee was beautiful, large pot of tea, full english was large and very tasty came with four halves toast with jam, eggs benedict was very tasty and plenty of nice thick bacon. Great price for a trendy cafe.

Nice coffee shop - I had a Biscoff mocha which was really good. My wife had a Pina colada smoothie which was also very good. We shared a rolo brownie which was delicious. Would highly recommend and would visit again.

The Eggs Benedict was excellent and very tasty. The portion was just right and even though they were very busy it came pretty quickly. Definitely come here again in the future.

Thankfully for us another couple told us to try the breakfast here rather than at the weather spoons nearby. For an extra couple of quid, it was well worth it and the difference in quality was plain to see. Thick back bacon, butchers sausages, amazing...

Came here for breakfast and left having had the best breakfast roll. Highly recommend this little cafe to all who visit Whitby. Great service and even better quality of food. It’s a must for breakfast.

Save yourself from scrolling or wandering and come straight here. We’ve been to Whitby lots of times but I think Java served us the best breakfast we’ve ever had here. Freshly cooked, beautifully presented, quality ingredients and lovely staff. Thank you, we will be back.

This is a great place for coffee and food in whitby. Brilliant location and great home cooked food. This is well worth a visit

Was delivered an incorrect drink and when rectified, it was promptly ‘slammed’ down on the table in front of us with no apology. After notifying the owner there had been a heavy box underneath our feet under the table, it was quickly dismissed. Not the service expected and sadly we will not return.

I stumbled across the Java and popped in for lunch, I had the chicken and pesto panini, latte…the panini was served with a lovley coleslaw and fresh salad ! Top notch. Don’t walk past the place , I’m here for a week or so and will certainly return

Did not expect the burgers to be gourmet: Proper chicken and beef patties, complete with a brioche bun. The dirty fries were amazing and come in large portions. Loved the milkshakes, served by friendly staff. We will be returning.

We ordered two full English breakfasts it took around 40 minutes. No one apologised or let us know it was going to take a while. We had to ask for the toast multiple times and it came 10 minutes after the breakfast. The young brunette waitress was very rude and didn’t say a word when she put the toast down. By the time the breakfast came the cafe was half full so I’m not sure what the hold up with the toast was. Terrible service but the food was nice.

Unfortunately we weren't hungry enough to try the vegan cake but the espresso and the Americano went down well and we liked the crockery. Service was good, the décor is nice and the staff were polite and friendly.

Delicious fresh orange straight out the orange press machine. Both ordered the full English which was faultless. Would definitely return

Came here for breakfast was busy but sat upstairs, breakfast was of a good standard and good size,sets you up for the day,staff friendly even when extremely busy,good clean nice place

We had a week holiday in Whitby and came here 6 mornings for our breakfasts (couldn’t do 1 morning as it was closed 😂); such a lovely and reasonable place ❤️

We found this little gem whilst debating where to get a bit of breakfast and a coffee.We had two tasty lattes served in mugs and not those awful tall glass cups that so many places use!We had a breakfast bacon & tomato bap plus a breakfast sausage bap. The quality of the ingredients was excellent with the right amount to fill the baps. All was cooked fresh to order. Which gave us time to witness the great teamwork and customer service, all while complying with covid rules and with a smile.If we are ever in the area again we will call again, meantime we highly recommend a visit.

We went to Java this morning and had an amazing English breakfast. The standard of all items were excellent and the breakfast was very reasonably priced. Java is a place where you should go to more than once because of the standard of food. Wouldn't recommend anywhere else in Whitby for breakfast having visited Java.

Excellent coffee. Breakfast rolls and avocado toast were great. We even popped in for lunch the next day and tried the Halloumi Mango wrap. Highly recommend if you want something a little healthy, has good vegetarian selection.

As per usual Java cafe provided in my opinion the best take aways in Whitby. The deal included two burgers, chips, a large pot of coleslaw, 2 milkshakes and a large cheesecake. And all aspect were perfect. Will not be the last time I go!

Came to Whitby for a fleeting visit with my boyfriend and I am so glad we came here for brunch! It was actually recommended to us by The Whitby Deli just up the road. I had the 'Texan pancakes' (who knew fried eggs on pancakes would be so good?!) and my boyfriend had the smashed avo on toast with tomatoes and feta. Cannot fault either breakfast - both freshly prepared and arrived really quickly. The small touch of serving our tap waters with lemon and ice was also appreciated (my sister saw the photo and asked if we were having G&Ts with our breakfast - haha). Will definitely be back next time we're in Whitby - thank you!

I am never normally one to complain, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever complained or written a review, but I am shocked & appalled by the experience & customer service I have just had. My friend & me went into Java this afternoon, I ordered a butter beer shake, the woman behind the till looked around and said ‘oh I’ve never done one of those’ then proceeded to try to make it, we weren’t asked if we were sitting in or taking away, she presumed we were taking away as she started to make it before taking payment and left me standing there the whole time. Eventually she asked for £3.95, I gave her a £20 note, she gave me £3.25 back, which at the time I didn’t count properly and thought was just change for a fiver. I said ‘oh sorry I gave you £20’ so she then gave me a further £15 back, which means she only charged me £1.75. I then ordered on behalf of my friend that had gone to sit down to maybe hint we weren’t taking away, I ordered her a baileys iced coffee. She then started to make the drink again so i said I’d wait for it over at the table, as she had given me my drink and I didn’t want to wait another 5 minutes at the counter with people behind me. I took a drink of my ‘butter beer shake’ and realised it was a plain milkshake that tasted like it just had cinnamon in it, with chocolate sprinkles on top. (Nothing like a butter beer shake).My friends drink was then ready and the lady then asked a different customer for the payment (£4.95). A lady then told her it was for us and we were sitting down waiting for it, which the woman behind the till replied ‘no they’re taking away’. Anyway, my friend went over and got her drink and brought it to the table. It was half full, warm and tasted like a weak watery coffee. I waited until she had no orders to make, and took my friends drink to her and said it was warm and not what we asked for. She then told me ‘it’s warm because the ice has melted’ (she put no ice in it). I told her she didn’t put ice in it, but said I didn’t want another making and asked if we could just have our money back, which she then rooted around in the tip jar for and handed me back the cost of my friends drink, without a single word, no apology or anything. Safe to say we left immediately. I understand completely that working in a cafe can be stressful, as I have done it myself for 12+ years, but there was only one other couple in there at the time, so it wasn’t exactly busy. Also am I wrong in thinking that someone should know how to make the drinks they have on offer? Or if she didn’t know she should have perhaps apologised and said they weren’t available today. It seemed as though it was her first day but she was the only one serving & I’d imagine there would have been another member of staff guiding her if that was the case.I really hope that she gets the training she needs, in making drinks, using the till & customer service, or hopefully we just caught her on a very bad day, it’s a shame as we have always liked Java and it’s always been great upto now. It has definitely put me off returning though.

Came here for breakfast before tackling The Cleveland Way. The staff were friendly and efficient,very good with the Covid rules.We had the Full English and the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Both were perfect! Amazing tasty sausages and crispy hash browns on the Full English, and lashings of maple syrup on the pancakes. Our favourite breakfast of our stay in Whitby.

We arrived at 5:15pm for some takeaway food. They were very helpful and accommodating and the food was delicious! We had the linguine, Swiss burger and chips and loved it! Thank you 😊

Whitby was very busy, we struggled to get into most restaurants with our dog - opted for a couple of take outs at Java - burgers really nice, even had a salad, again very good. Chips, plenty of them (1 box easy does 2 people) - they even delivered for us, great service... prices not too bad either

The café itself is pleasant and the food is good. Situated on the way down to the harbour. Social distancing within café also good. Staff happy enough - just feel the girl on the till was slightly grumpy and the cleaning down of tables, after guests, in the current situation was not up to scratch. I didn't see her wash, or gel, her hands once and she was taking money, serving and clearing up. Wiping just the surface of a table, with a spray and a dirty dish cloth, and then leaving the dish cloth scrunched up on the table by the door is not a good advert. Why aren't the tables, seats, high chair seats being sprayed and wiped with a disposable cloth? There is also a hand rail on the stairs up to the upper café and toilet, which I didn't notice being wiped down, and no paper towels in the toilet. Just little things that make you think if this is now, what is it like normally.

We got a delivery of 4 different burgers inc a veggie one. Also onion rings (massive portion), coleslaw and skin on fries. All very good portions. The burgers were the best burgers I’ve had in ages. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for one. Ps. I don’t know if they do deliver normally but as we were only next door, we pre paid and the lovely staff delivered bang on time an hour and a half later. Fantastic service above and beyond.

Visited here twice during our stay. Once for the full English breakfast which was yum and second time had the Shakshuka (bit of a wait but well worth it). Would definitely recommend giving here a visit as the food is great, reasonably priced and the staff were super friendly

It was the last evening of our mini break in Whitby. We had visited Java for a coffee the day before and decided to eat out here.The food was tasty and very generous portion sizes. We had the classic burger and mac and cheese plus some sides.Well worth a visit and as it's off the main strip we didn't have to queue to get in.Would definitely recommend.

Me and my partner were after some dinner and due to Covid 19 we were struggling to find somewhere that was open. We saw Java was open for takeaway and had a look at the takeaway menu. We both had a classic burger which was delicious! Burger came with, gherkins, bbq, mustard mayo, Cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato. One of the best burgers we've ever eaten. Will visit when it's open to sit in.

Popped into here with our dog and loved it. Had the 'Honeycomb steamer' that was amazing. A great drink, a good layout and very friendly + helpful staff. Would highly recommend to others.

Currently my favourite cafe in Whitby, as consistently had good food here. There is just that that added touch that makes it better than most of the cafes here. Also manage to to a decent oat milk coffee

This a great place to have lunch in whitby, its off the main street but still a good place to relax and watch the world go by. Excellent paninis and wraps but also a wide selection of cakes and other sweet treats. The coffee is of a high quality and the staff are very friendly. We will definitely go again.

I've visited this café many times when visiting friends and, apart from the last visit, have always been very impressed. This time though was a real disappointment for me. It didn't get off to a good start with the coffee orders being wrong. More importantly, my full English breakfast was very poor. The sausages were cremated and the fried eggs overcooked such that they were rubbery in texture without a semblance of a runny yolk plus the toast was poor quality bread. In fairness, the rest of our party were more than happy with what they received and my friend who also had a full English was more than happy, but he admitted that he likes his sausage cooked like that and he had the scrambled eggs which looked very good.

Great friendly cafe. We went in for breakfast, the breakfast wraps were great! Friendly staff and a wide ranging menu. Dogs allowed downstairs

Called in Saturday morning after seeing a couple of free places at the window where we could eat and people watch . Ordered two full English breakfasts with two coffees . Serve was slow but place was busy and we were in no rush at all . The coffees went down a treat and two more were ordered while we waited for our breakfasts . OMG the two breakfasts arrived in due course and we have to say they were fantastic and I mean fantastic . Freshly cooked using fresh ingredients and absolutely as soooo tasty it was a shame to finish them . Superb doesn’t do you justice Java and we will be back for sure

We needed a coffee and a sit down and just happened upon this lovely coffee shop. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We ordered a coffee each and a slice of orange polenta cake. The coffee was just right, flavourful and hot. The cake was warm and so delicious. Even though we only ordered the one slice they brought us 2 forks so we could share, although I'm not sure my husband expected to share his cake! Will certainly visit again when in Whitby.

We had wandered round Whitby and felt like a coffee and cake stop. Couldn't find anything to tick the box until we stumbled on this gem of a place. The choice of cakes was good with gluten free options included and there was a great choice of drinks too. The cakes we chose were delicious and the peppermint mocha and salted caramel white hot chocolate were very indulgent and yummy. The staff were very friendly and would definitely go back again on a future visit to Whitby.

Rainy Tuesday in Whitby stumbled upon Java. The two ladies couldnt have been more helpful. Lunch was chorizo bean soup, pannini and loaded fries all off which were excellent. Will definitely return. Thank you

Whenever we come to Whitby we always try to come here for breakfast. The avocado on toast is my dish of choice, whereas the full breakfast is always a hit with the guys. I also love the wall coverings - picturing Whitby

I have never had a bagel with salmon and cream cheese like it before ! A very generous portion and worth the price . Excellent coffee too . Rather crowded but not surprising as the cafe's reputation is well-known . I'll sit on a chair rather than a bar stool next time .

We dropped in for a quick breakfast stop. Amazing value and the staff were lovely. Coffee good and strong and the sausage and blackpudding on ciabatta was amazing. My partner had a simple croissant which she also enjoyed. This is a must visit in whitby! We will be back again definatly

A lovely cool looking cafe off the beaten track in Whitby. My kind of style and yes, the breakfast was fab. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was yearning for anything other than a fry up and quality food, I’d have gone elsewhere.

Visited with family for breakfast - we all had something different and were all served very well cooked, delicious food. Friendly service. Pleasant environment.

we have had breakfast here many times and this time I was not disappointed with the avocado on toast which was light and refreshing and very tasty. My husbands scrambled eggs with toast was a different matter. It was not seasoned and so much cream had been added he couldn't taste the eggs. It was very claggy to eat and he began to feel a little queasy after a few mouthfuls. This was an unusual let down for Java and we hope that next time we eat here the eggs improve

Dropped in here for a breakfast with the family. Brilliant start to the day, well cooked food and perfect coffee. Will be back again!

we've called in many times inc with our dog. It never fails it's now part of any day out in Whitby for us. They open late too which is great on cold winters evening.

Always pop in for lunch when we visit whitby. Always fantastic food,lovely coffee, friendly staff. Exceptional value meals and menus offer something different than other places. Never let's us down

Popped in here today for a coffee. There were 3 staff on, and not one person took any notice of us. There was a girl making coffee right in front of us but just completely ignored us. We then sat down as we wondered if it was table service. Nope. When that didn’t work my husband went back up to the counter only to be completely ignored again, so we left. All the staff look tired so not sure if that had all been on a night out, but that’s no way to treat people.

Popped in to grab a takeaway coffee & a stem ginger flapjack. Coffee was delicious but the flapjack was a disappointment there was no hint of stem ginger it tasted like an overly sweet flapjack. Staff seem lovely but very slow.

Stopped here for coffee. Nice atmosphere, staff really helpful, all requests catered for. Sat upstairs, nice view. A real find. Will definitely visit here again, probably try some food as well!

Lovely friendly reasonable priced cafe for breakfast and light meals. Food always fresh, good variety and number of interesting veggie options

My husband and I called in for coffee on our way back to our hotel on Saturday afternoon. It was a really good cup of coffee.

Ordered full English’s to take away. Everything was cooked well and no grease whatsoever. Good quality ingredients and large portions. Couldn’t finish mine, but then again I should have went for their smaller full English option. Reasonably priced for what you get. Would recommend and will visit again when next in Whitby.

Called in as we were passing. This place looks like a coffee bar so we were expecting a croissant at the most. However, they have a good menu with something for everyone. Good choices including vegetarian options which were not just an afterthought tacked on. The full English was enormous, well cooked and presented. Fresh mushrooms and tomatoes included. Great stuff and great coffee.

We come to whitby often and recently discovered java, the staff are lovley and the food for a cafe in whitby is unreal and to a really great standard

Amazing, best smoked salmon I have ever eaten. Hubby had the chorizo breakfast and it was Devine. Friends had the full English and looked truly scrumptious. Please try the orange juice but don’t skip the coffee. And we took some sweet treats home with us. Best end to a perfect weekend. We will be back every time we visit Whitby. Lovely staff too

We had a great breakfast this morning. Friendly service and great food in a good location. Highly recommended

Dog friendly but tepid, weak coffee and smoothies but didn’t have all the favours. Wouldn’t rush back. Was good in the past.

I’ve been to Java before and been very impressed with it.

Lovely stop off here for a late leisurely Sunday breakfast. Loads of choice and the scrambled egg with chorizo was a big hit. Looks like it’s a very popular destination

Great cafe, one of the few good cafes in Whitby opening early on a Sunday. For info they only take cash not cards but the food is great, reasonably priced and high quality . Recommend

Popped in a few times last week and really enjoyed the drinks and food. Really clean, and efficient. The staff worked well together as it is an open space and quite small behind the counter. Recommend the bacon bap with mushrooms. Very tasty, great coffee too

we had breakfast here a couple of mornings the food is great as are the drinks and really nice staff

Fantastic little place. Very good choice of food, all well cooked and well presented. Staff very cheerful. Prices extremely reasonable. Coffee excellent.
