Whistlestop Cafe in Scarborough

We never go anywhere else when we vist whitby, Always good food at reasonable price, Down to earth staff, can't fault it.

Four of us had traditional English breakfast. The quantity and quality was fabulous. A cup of tea was even included in the price. The staff were very pleasant and the place very clean and tidy. Great location.

At less than a tenner the Full English breakfast here is excellent value for money. Ample portions of good quality ingredients. Cooked and presented perfectly by the friendly owner/chef. The breakfast here is indeed a belly buster comprising 2 sausages, 2 rashers of bacon, 2 fried eggs on fried bread, 2 hash browns, plum tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms, black pudding, toast and tea or coffee. All served in a nicely appointed and decorated cosy cafe which is part of the railway station. Highly recommended. 10/10.

We waited nearly an hour for 2 cooked breakfasts, they served regular customers before us that came in after us. When we finally got our breakfast it was awful, full of grease, the grease ran off the bacon and the fried bread was literally saturated in grease , neither my husband or I could eat it, we tried a bite of the fried bread and it made us both feel sick, the black pudding was rock hard and bacon was tough , the sausages were just full of grease and the egg was swimming in it , we had the toast with some of the beans the toast was hardly buttered , no nice presentation, both my husband and I felt sick and bloated all day just with the bite of fried bread we had, won't be returning, the cost was £16.50

Fantastic food at affordable prices. Huge portions, fresh ingredients. Will definitely be going back when next in whitby. Friendly husband & wife team running it. All cooked fresh to order. Photo of my fish & chips only £9.95.

We visit this place for breakfast every time we come to Whitby. Friend staff, plenty of choice and great value for money. The breakfast is good quality local sourced food. I highly recommend

Had a day in Whitby and fancied something to eat other than fish & chips but couldn't find anywhere. Asked a lady from one of the arcades and she pointed us to this hidden gem of a cafe adjoined to the railway station. What a surprise!!! Perfect in every way (even a roast dinner on the menu). We both went for the roast beef dinner although there was pork & chicken. Big slices of thick beef served with Yorkshire pudding and FRESH vegetables. A very fair price and the cafe was 5 points on the hygiene score. A very enjoyable meal followed by apple 🍎 pie and custard. So glad we found this place and it will be our go to place to eat whenever we are in Whitby. Can highly recommend.

This spot has been there for years have been going for past 20yrs food rely goid and we'll worth the prices, staff and management are really helpful and friendly

I understand the motorbike ban was not down by the cafe it was network rail and the cafe had no say in this they where fight for ban to be lifted just as much as we were

Common sense prevails after outrage from the motorcycle community. We will be back and enjoying the wonderful food and warm welcome.

Unfortunately I travelled here for breakfast on my motorbike to find out I couldn't park there for some reason. Took my business else where and will not return based on this ever again. Plenty more cafes that will accommodate.

I often go to this cafe. So when I was out on my motorcycle I thought it would be a nice stop for breakfast. But couldn't park my motorcycle as a sign said I would be fined £50 if I did . Won't be going back there any time soon. Shame on you . Found another cafe locally with motorcycle parking.

Called in for breakfast today! Great breakfast and fabulous value for money. Highly recommended and would definitely return!

On my most recent visit to Whitby, I found it surprisingly hard to get a good cup of tea, or to find a decent cafe, with good food, at reasonable prices. This well-run family cafe, situated at the front of Whitby train station, was the answer to my prayers. It is clean, friendly, with a great British cafe menu, large mugs of proper tea, and it is very good value. I'll be back for the breakfast next time!

Discovering this hidden gem while peering through a window on the platform, we stumbled upon a breakfast haven before embarking on our unforgettable journey aboard the magnificent North Yorkshire Moors Railway. As we entered, we were warmly welcomed by a gracious gentleman at the counter, eager to take our orders. Without hesitation, I chose the Full English Breakfast, priced at a mere £7.95, never anticipating the glorious feast that awaited me. To my astonishment, a mountainous platter arrived adorned with two delectable hash browns, a duo of succulent sausages, thick-cut, mouthwatering rashers of bacon, and, to my delight, two rounds of heavenly black pudding. The symphony of flavors continued with perfectly cooked, generous portions of mushrooms, crisply fried bread, and a delightful helping of beans. To top it off, they even offered a side of velvety butter and golden toast. Even though I couldn't conquer the entirety of this epic meal, the value it delivered was beyond compare. Meanwhile, my partner indulged in a perfectly crafted bacon cob, a masterpiece in its own right, while raving about the accompanying cup of exquisite coffee. The atmosphere around us was electric, filled with a vibrant energy that amplified our excitement for the day ahead. Truly, the breakfast experience left us awe-inspired, sated, and prepared for a day of unforgettable adventures. This place is nothing short of excellent!

Had a breakfast here Wednesday morning, really lovely staff, super friendly. Food was excellent, really good portion sizes. Massive mug of coffee included with the breakfast, excellent value for money.

Don’t waste your time or money! Rock hard jacket potato, it was cold with half of tub of cheap margarine on, with dark brown tuna. Wife’s shepherds pie had hardly any mash on the top and what was on the top was lumpy. It came with chips (frozen chips at that) wasn’t advertised with chips, she was expecting home made fresh veggies. And at nearly £10 per meal it wasn’t worth £5. The lady who served me was lovely, can’t say the same about the owner, had a right face on him. Far too many lovely cafes and restaurants in Whitby to put up with anything less than good food and service. Will absolutely not be returning.

as the guy put food on table wife said 3 words and l can't think of anything better to say "that look's amazing " and it was in 50 years we've been together she has never eaten the batter on fish today she ate everything

We had a bacon & sausage cob for breakfast and it was lovely, after looking at the menu that had some great choices we decided to nip back later for a snack, we had cheesy chips and gravey and it was amazing, nice relaxed atmosphere, nice staff, will definitely return.

X3 bikers on a rideout coffee and cake required. Nice cakes, curry and rice spotted for next time, decent filter coffee, good value for money. Would definitely use again especially with parking right outside the door 👍

I love this cafe! The staff are very efficient and friendly, the food is excellent.. I had a full English and it was gorgeous! I could see that there were regulars/locals revisiting, which is a recommendation in itself. Perfect little place at very good prices.

Went in for lunch as it was near our holiday accommodation. Great choice, really nice basic but good quality and well cooked food. Enjoyed it so much that we visited again for breakfast which was a substantial and good quality full English, which also included a choice of drink. We will definitely visit again when we next go to Whitby.

Called in here on a horrible rainy day for our first visit…. Will not be our last!!! Best Full English Breakfast I’ve ever had in Whitby.. including all the usual haunts 😜 Piping hot, nicely presented and a very warm welcoming atmosphere.. I couldn’t finish mine as I was full up.. but anyone with a good appetite.. you must try here!!! All other food coming out from extensive home made menu looked super too…..and gorgeous coffee!! Lovely place ❤️

Only had a cuppa as had eaten breakfast in hotel But the menu was great and the food that we saw coming out looked amazing Will definitely try the food next time in Whitby

Looked in by chance to find a wonderful Sunday lunch menu at very reasonable prices. Delicious food with fast and friendly service.

Really friendly staff. Lovely breakfast definitely worth a visit! Great value for money £7.25 for a full breakfast which came with toast & a drink ☕️

Visited as part of a bike night at Whitby. Ordered a couple of drinks and hot beef bun and sausage bun. Food was fine, fairly priced, and clean and tidy.

Eat here a few times recently, very good service and food at reasonable prices once for breakfast ,once for lunch, friendly staff prompt service good food, and plenty of it. Will return.

The Whistlestop Café is simply the best Whitby has to offer, a superb high-quality and honest establishment. The staff are always friendly, efficient and considerate regardless of how busy they are - always finding time for a chat which makes even the most anxious individual...

I usually pop in here for breakfast on the morning I leave Whitby, as it's near the bus and railway station. The service is excellent, very quick and efficient, the breakfast is delicious with a nice mug of tea and at a very reasonable price....

Such a lovely place to eat and drink. The meals are all homemade and fantastic prices too (which is quite hard to find in Whitby) you won’t be disappointed. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. Lovely decor throughout and also seating outside.

Excellent food , fantastic staff really nice and clean environment. Amazing breakfast best breakfast I have had in a while

A great little cafe very friendly and good value. You can eat inside or outside and also they do take away. They do a very good breakfast and lunches, plus a great choice of sandwiches.

Great little cafe at the back of the railway station. We had a bacon sandwich in a bun each, which were a reasonable £2.85 each. There was 3 thick rashers in a flowery bap; very tasty. We washed them down with a nice large cup...

Amazing place. Breakfast before the NYMR journey. Quick, tasty, friendly. Amazing. Come here even if you're not getting a train.

Great little place, nice friendly staff and THE biggest English breakfast we have ever seen! Located just off the car park for the railway station. Make sure you're hungry!

Popped in before we caught the train to Pickering. Great ambience, friendly staff and delicious home made fruit scones - so good infact we went back again the next day!

It's not obvious when you walk out of the station, but the cafe is round to your right. Massive menu, superb food and very reasonable prices. Can't fault it. 10/10 from me!

Visited this cafe/Restaurant poor Covid 19 restrictions. Hand was near door Tables back to back to close for comfort . When approached the waiter /Owner , Was told they was working with what they had and could move to another back to back table .He...

We stopped here for a quick cup of coffee before departing from Whitby. It’s an average cafe with lots of seating and many bikers use the location to gather with their machines. Good place to go for a quick coffee and general sit down.

Five of us came in for lunch of toasted sandwiches. I had corned beef and onion which was generously filled and served with a side salad. It was delicious and very good value. I have been in here many times for full meals as well...

Lovely cafe spotlessly clean and a wide ranging menu. We chose scampi and chips and cod and chips. Generous portions cooked to perfection. Amazing value for money.

Great value. Food hot and tasty, as was the coffee. Kitchen looked very clean as you could see them preparing the food, and the toilets were spotless which is always a good sign that a cafe is well run

Whistle stop cafe , a great place to eat thanks to Paul and staff , being going for years fantastic bikers night great to see vintage , classic , & modern bikes and soak it all in . Very friendly bikers from near and far and you show me any cafe owner at the end of bikers night to come out with cones of free chips to us , now that is top notch of them, come enjoy you will love it food & all . The mex.

Great food and great prices. Food was really lovely and much better than the other food we had had locally. Lots of choice on the menu. Cash only but there is a cash point at the co op. Staff where lovely and friendly. Very clean cafe with hand gel available everywhere.

Meant to take a picture, but looked that good, we just got stuck on, but with a glass of fresh juice(apple or orange) came 2 chunky sausages, 2 lovely bacon, fried bread(full slice) fried dippy egg, mushrooms, baked beans, black pudding, 2 hash browns, slice of toast, choice of marmalade or jam. All lovely quality, lovely fresh and hot, at £5.85, it truly sets you ip for the day! Nice one, we just topped it off with a lovely Latte! Feeling spoilt and full! Will call again.

Lots of bikers in here when we went in. Very busy and a nice atmosphere. Good food and plenty of it,good prices.

Just called in for a quick drink and snack 7 of us, enjoyed the service. Drinks were fine Food ok Can recommend to all

Having arrived in Whitby ready for lunch we spotted this cafe right next to the railway station and decided to stop here. The menu had something for everyone and everything was reasonably priced. We chose toasted sandwiches and they were delicious washed down with lattes. Staff were very friendly and it was busy on a Sunday so it must be doing something right

Called in for an all day breakfast, it was plentiful and there was ample bike parking. It was busy with locals and the price is reflected in location etc. There seemed to be a fair choice and all the staff were pleasant.

Our order was taken by the most miserable woman ever with no customer service skills, hope she brightened up as the day went on. The waiter on the other hand was smashing.

Parked in the rain without looking around for other resturants. When in and ordered the chicken dinner. Was cheap and that was how it tasted, frozen chicken hearted usually does not taste the same as fresh cooked chicken. If you are on a tight budget may be ok for you. Just could not be bothered in the rain to look around.

Great breakfast menu, plenty of choice, and good portions. They are always busy so get in early for these guys, if you are catching the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

Have been here numerous times , always super friendly staff , fantastic food from a quick snack to a full breakfast at great prices x

Good food at sensible prices and served by cheerful friendly staff. Visited 6 times now and will be back.

Excellent English breakfast.was a struggle to eat it all but I managed😀.my son commented that the black pudding was the best he had ever tasted.bacon and sausage was good as well .excellent value too with orange juice included in the price.

Always nice to find coffee that's strong and tasty and doesn't cost the earth.nice cakes too,well worth the visit

Stepped into the Whistlestop Cafe at lunchtime after travelling from Pickering on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to sample the Fish n Chips. Found the staff to be wonderfully friendly and the Fish n Chips to be fantastic. Very tasty and plentiful. Just what the doctor ordered.

We stopped here for breakfast, great full English breakfast, great service, and a nice friendly atmosphere. Recommended.

just had a gorgous sunday lunch and only £6.25.was all fresh not frozen.and so lush.and lovely service xx

This cafe is part of the Whitby Railway Station. It is always busy as it offers excellent quality food at reasonable prices.

Just had a steak and kidney pie. Absolutely brilliant with propper suet and plenty of veg, meat, gravy. Couldn't eat it all. Lovely and hot. Great service.

Finding a suitable cafe in a place like Whitby can be a bit tricky because there is such a large selection of places to choose from .

Just had a great meal here Shepherds pie and veg and tea meal was hot and good quality and all staff very friendly next time I am here will be having my lunch here 10 out 10 keep up the good work

Best place to go for bikers especially on a Thursday night such a great place to visit give it a try ........

I called in here this weekend on a very wet and windy Saturday. After a very cold and wet ride in, it was lovely to take off the gear, dry out and relax in this cafe.

Very helpful staff very good for people who have coeliac like my son. The small roast dinners are very good value for money

The staff in this traditional type cafe are friendly and helpful. I called in for coffee, but they also serve a wide range of meals which are freshly prepared and the ones I saw were certainly generous portions. Also a number of vegetarian meals available. Customers were a mix of regulars, locals and tourists, a good sign. I felt comfortable here as a solo diner, which is not always the case. On the counter was a jar of small sweets which children could select from after their meal, a nice idea.

Called on a very wet weekend visit to Whitby. The service and cakes were excellent. Could not fault the place - papers to read and lovely and warm. We will certainly call again on our next visit to Whitby.

This cafe is on the side of the station and is excellent value for money. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The food for a small cafe is exceptional. Totally worth a visit.

Been a few times thought each time well worth a visit great tea an wow hot chocolate was fantastic, nice fresh sandwiches and hot food, will bbe going back.

Whitby is a busy town all year round but you can always rely on good food and a friendly service.

a great little café the food is good and cheap as are the drinks the staff are great and polite. This is very good to go in if you turn up on your motor bike

Small roast dinner £4.65, large £5.95.

The breakfasts are really good value and very tasty. All stations should have a cafe like this one, lovely

I've been here every week for a few years now. The high standards of food and service has not changed. They do an amazing breakfast that's value for money.

Decent mug of tea while waiting for a train, but despite having lots of sockets they are blanked and I was told in no uncertain terms that I could not charge my phone. This was frustrating considering the obvious use by the travelling public, part of the train station, and the fact that no sensible reason was given when queried.

Ok so this isn't posh sausages or fine dining but if you want a good value old fashioned fry up it hits the spot! I personally loved the fried bread best and then the sausages, hubby not so keen as he is a said he snob lol. Everything else was very tasty although bacon and black pudding were very well done. You get massive portions and also orange juice included which is a nice touch especially for me as I have to take tablets and prefer a cold drink for that rather then my latte. Also another nice touch was the array of sauces, Jane and marmalade that arrived with the toast also all included in the same price of £5.50!! There is a ramp to the door, plenty of space inside and so very disabled friendly, however wheelchairs would maybe struggle with the toilets but I was on my stick and found it fine as also not too far to walk and no steps! The staff were lovely, chatty and happy and mentioning trip advisor also got me an offer of a foot massage!! Nice to see a place with a sense of humour! On the counter there was also an good selection of home made cakes so looks a great option for coffee breaks too!

Good quality food, very friendly service and reasonable prices. This is a great little station-side cafe.

Called in for lunch after locals recommended this cafe and was not disappointed. Steak and kidney pie and chips with 4 different veg. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal. You have to be hungry to eat here. Cooked to order and was red hot. Highly recommended. We will visit again.

Hadn’t had a breakfast here for 3 or 4 years and tried it again this morning. It is still a cheap breakfast for what you get but it was not what I remember. The fried bread was dripping in oil as were the hash browns. The black pudding was crispy throughout. No idea how that’s done unless everything is deep fried. Sausages were the usual low quality cheap breakfast fare but also looked deep fried. Bacon, egg, mushroom and beans were fine. Will try somewhere else on our annual visit next year.

Have come here for breakfast several times... the food isn’t bad but I think the drinks are better by far.

Basic but good. Staff are friendly, welcoming and location is really central. Good selection of meals and snacks, including some really good cakes. Worth a stop if you're in the area...

whils,t on holiday in whitby we really needed a drink .situated at the station with outdoor seating we decided to sit outside as we have a dog.not sure if dog friendly?.my husband went inside he said that the cakes looked nice and the menu looked varied.we had a coffee and a soft drink and it only came to under£3.if in whitby again we would go again and maybe try some food next time.wheelchair accessible.

I make this cafe a must stop as it is very well positioned on the edge of the North Yorks moors which I love also Whitby is a fabulous place to wander about in.

We called in at ten on a beautiful sunny morning and a handful of customers were scattered across the outdoor seating and the main cafe. We came with a breakfast "voucher" from Whistlestop's pub relation "The Granby", where we'd spent the night.

Although we know it as a biker cafe, it has a lovely atmosphere, we only stopped for coffee but everyone was friendly, there was a good mix of people here from me with my L plates on my little bike to a big burley Haley...

The sandwiches come with half a plate of salad, coleslaw and crisps, quite a meal. Puddings and cakes are good.

Called in today for a cuppa, lovely tea and carrot cake, nice and clean with friendly staff, good value for money, will definitely be back

A couple of weeks ago I had a “Toastie” (cheese) and cup of “coffee” plonked down in front of me. Quite the worst eating experience one could imagine. The white bread (no option to have brown bread) was hardly toasted, pale and unappetising and the...

This cafe has friendly staff, good value, lovely cooked food. Always a treat whenever we go. Never been let down once yet. I will continue supporting this cafe as much as I can, its easily gotta be the best 'ord caf' in whitby... If not...

Have been here three times now on different occasions, and never been disappointed. Food is what I call family type and filling, lovely choices. Staff very friendly and even when busy are quick with service.

Called in while waiting for a train, good value drinks. Friendly staff and very popular, when we visited twice in the same week. Well worth a visit if you are in Whitby.

this café is situated on the train station but please don't just use it when you are catching a train....

Aparecimos para un café mientras esperan amigos llegar en el tren. El café era lo suficientemente ocupados, pero el café era desgraciadamente una débil decepción así que no vamos a volver.
