Whitby Deli in Scarborough

We've just had a 2 day stay in Whitby and earmarked around £60 worth of products from this lovely little place. Rather than have to carry them around for the day, our intent was to purchase on the way back to the guest house. Unfortunately, they appear to close at 4.00pm, which in this climate of businesses needing to maximise post-Covid revenue, I find absolutely staggering. Maybe they don't need the sales. Frustrating and disappointing in equal measure. Would have been 5 stars otherwise.

The food we had from the deli counter was delicious and the shop stocked some very tasty looking supplies! The staff were very friendly and helpful also.

Called in to look at some of the interesting food available and noticed on the deli counter that they do sharing platters. My wife and I ordered one to be picked up later in the day, we were asked if there was anything we particularly liked or disliked and arranged to pick up at a convenient time. On the face of it the cost may seem a little high but those thoughts disappeared when we saw what was in the box and completely left our heads when we started eating the food. A card was included detailing the contents which listed the 20 different items the box contained and after us each having three visits to the platter we were full and decided to carry on the following evening..The quality of the food was magnificent and superbly presented.We have now reached the second evening and will shortly be starting on the platter again.

We stopped by to pick up some meats and cheeses - there was a really good range to choose from, the staff were helpful in giving us some options and then having to cut a few bits of the ones we wanted - there were quite a few! All of them got eaten at home quickly!

We stumbled upon this great deli whilst out walking and decided that having a pizza was safer than eating in some of Whitbys other establishments!!This was one of the best pizzas we have had, made as we had ordered one meat and one vegetarian.... the frittata was also excellent... so we have a great meal in the comfort of our self catering accommodation with great food!! Thank you and I would encourage you to advertise this great option for others

Visited on the 23rd of September. No longer a cafe. Take away only. Please update. The home made food looked good

Visited recently to pickup a grazing box (called ahead to order) owner was happy to accommodate and the food was delicious. Amazing selection of treats to be found here. Will be back next time.

Waitedages to be served while person serving was walkiong around with phone pressed to her ear - saying I'm on hol. Such poor customer service. 3 tables satwaiting tobe served. Eventually took order for coffees but brownie never arrived at all!had to remind them not to charge for it. Could not recommend such a disorganised place when there are so many more to choose form - sorry

Called in for a quick take out coffee. 10/10. Best coffee in Whitby and lovely service. Wish I didn't live 250 miles away.

We were in whitby the day storm Ciara hit. Wet and cold we dived for shelter into the whitby deli. The loose leaf pot if tea was just what we'd needed while we waited fir or eggs on toast. Lovely. Dog friendly. Take a look ast the local gins and the lovely jams and curds.

We had been meaning to visit here for a while as we are local and like to help local businesses. Unfortunately it wasn't a good experience. The waitress brought us two menus which one was disgustingly dirty smeared with food so I gave her it back. I ordered from the specials board a mozzarella, salami and sundried tomato melt and my husband had avocado with bacon and poached egg. We had to wait ages and they weren't particularly busy either (would hate to see how long a wait when they are busy!). When the food eventually came mine came with a side salad and so I asked for some mayonnaise or dressing to which the waitress said "We just have red or brown sauce". So my salad was dry and boring, my melt wasn't melted and was just thrown together. My husband said his was absolutely tasteless and the poached egg was the palest yellow you'd every seen - definately not free range. The only positive thing to say was that the coffee was nice. There are certainly nicer places to eat in Whitby which is a shame. We wont be going again.

Great quality food in a friendly atmosphere. Generous portions, do the sausages there’re very tasty. Dog friendly as well.

Called in here for some drinks at lunchtime and was slightly disappointed.Had wanted to come here for quite some time and found that it lacked atmosphere.Slightly awkward in having to listen to a shouted protracted conversation between a customer and a member of staff working in the kitchen.Drank up and left.

This was a great find to come across by accident. We just wanted something to warm us up on a cold and windy day and they had an excellent lunch deal for £5. I had the soup (tomato and bais) and a huge cuppa tea made from leaves, and my husband had a freshly hand made sausage roll with spicy tomato and onion chutney and a coffee...all for just £10. The food was plentiful, great flavour and great value. My husband loved the chutney so much he bought a jar.

Called with friends after mean recommend by a owner of a B & B in Whitby we enjoyed a lunch time with four friend's deal of homemade soup chunky bread and a tea all for £5 which was wonderful and extremely good value.The staff were very helpful and friendly the deli offers a great deal of deals both lunch time and evening.well worth a visit

This place is well worth a visit if you want really well presented food that is high on taste and provides local quality. I had the eggs with Oak roast Salmon; on my gosh the eggs were delicious, grainy, runny and superb....the Salmon was so full of flavour that it still makes my mouth water thinking about it now! All our food and drinks were to be fair delicious; and the decor is right on message for us so made a really relaxing brunch option for us.

Although the portion sizes are ample, the quality of the breakfast is moderate. It seems to be size over substance with this place

Popped in for a snack on Sunday afternoon - good menu, great food and service. Will definitely return next time we're in Whitby!

We came across this after visiting the Fuzzy Dog Bakery next door. We had dog and baby in stroller plus 4 adults so luckily it wasn't too full as it was quite late . We all enjoyed our lunch here. I had sandwiches but the sharing platters looked quite delicious. It was a pleasant place to sit as we took quite a time with baby feeding etc. The deli was also pretty good and we came away with a few things too.

We stopped in for breakfast. The food was excellent (a veggie breakfast) and the staff friendly. I recommend a visit.

I've never stopped to eat in the restaurant, only bought to go, but Whitby Deli is a wonderful establishment with some lovely bits and pieces that you can't find elsewhere. Definitely worth a visit!

I popped in with my husband for lunch from just passing and liking the menu. We had the sharing platter which was like a Ploughmans and OMG it was delicious. A good price and the service was great. The Deli also have a lovely, relaxed feel to it.

Lovely evening, food was wonderful with excellent service and wine. Would definitely return. Hidden gem.

Well cooked full breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage and black pudfing. High quality ingredients well cooked. Not the fastest as food is cooked to order.

Went two days in a row for breakfast. I had the full monty (Full English) on day one, which was a mission to finish - great portion and good quality meat.

Came here for lunch, good choice on the menu. Lovely produce, crab sandwich and Greek salad were good as was the baked Camembert. Coffee was good too.

Not being very familiar in Whitby and fancying pizza for dinner we checked TripAdvisor for Italian restaurants. Their reviews seemed a bit mixed... Then we realised that the Whitby Deli had a pizza evening that very day!

We have had the 'full' breakfast here on a couple of occasions and I can honestly say that the quality and taste of the food is excellent. The breakfast is a protein lovers paradise, with 2 sausages, 2 bacon and 2 hearty pieces of black pudding, all of which is delicious.

A minute away from what I’d call the main bit of Whitby walking up a tiny steep bit from the harbour so slightly quieter.Totally worth checking out.

We arrived in Whitby on the Park and Ride bus and passed this deli on the way in. We managed to retrace the journey back up the hill to find this little gem and it was just perfect. The staff were attentive and polite and the service was top notch with a good, varied menu. I ordered the vegetarian platter and it was delicious with olives, home made hummus, warm flat breads, veggie pate and a salad. I would definitely recommend if, like us, you want something other than fish and chips!

Catherine cooked us food from the deli at private dining evening and it was absolutely gorgeous, Catherine catered for vegans and gluten free with no problem at all.

We’d found the Whitby Deli online and we’re looking for someone to do private dining for us for my 40th. We visited the deli and Catherine and the team were amazing.

Used to self fine food crisps biscuits cheese crackers nice foods good presents I spent over £200.00 a month on little bits I will never step Foot in again if you want a good breakfast u go to the kettle trying to be something it's not no longer selling nice bits at extreme prices welcome smell dogs and changing a arm and leg for breakfast save your money go to the singing kette they welcome muts and it's a good breakfast £4.90 with tea or coffee

We both had the eggs, avocado and rocket on granary toast. Arrived without the rocket. Bread was soggy from the poached eggs, which were very runny (too much for my taste). Boyfriend’s earl grey tea had mint leaves in. ‍♀️ Paid circa £24 for both of us which seemed overpriced for the quality of food. Saying that did not find anything better in the area.

Called in whilst passing. Shop full of local produce which was nice.

This was an amazing slate full of fish in generous proportions: crab pate, hot and cold smoked salmon, crab claws, little prawns big crevettes, a sort of mustardy mayo, a dish of caperberries, capers and cornichons and all supported by large chunks of bread and a carafe of house white wine.

We found this gem of a place by complete accident, wow, we were delighted at the quality of the service and food, all delivered in a delightful ambience. We had the pizza deal + red wine + olives + leaf/tomato garlic salad. It was perfection on a plate AFAIC 10/10. Thank You

Great little deli / cafe serving up fantastic breakfast / brunch , sandwiches and pizzas at night. Scrambled, fried and poached eggs were all amazing. Very friendly service and nice coffee. Chocolate cookies and cakes great too. I’d recommend in a flash.

Very helpful and pleasant staff - managed to accommodate us when we had to book a table after the cooker broke in our holiday cottage leaving us looking for somewhere to eat at short notice on a Bank Holiday weekend!

Our visit was prompted by our favourite breakfast cafe being closed so this was going to be second best, however, we were not disappointed. The full English was well presented, well cooked, and delicious. The sausage was particularly good, meaty and filling.

Small and very friendly. Food was some of the best I've tasted in the area. Definitely recommend for eating in or grabbing some fantastic Deli items to take away. Dog welcome

We visited here for lunch. Great place in terms of design, friendly staff, great music and chilled atmosphere. We had salads which were fresh and tasty, gin, coffee and scrummy cake. I wish we lived closer so we could visit more often!

We stopped in for a quick bite to eat and from the start, the owner was on it. With her small baby in one hand she made us a table for six and was attentive. When we ordered the staff were great and truly professional. The food came and did not let them down. It was great from the scotch egg to the cheese. Ignore the dog comments, folk love to moan.

Whitby Deli is now a go to for us when we are staying in Whitby. We stay just round the corner on Skinner Street so it is conveniently located.

How can you allow dogs into an eating establishment when there is uncovered food at Airedale shoulder height which they have to pass close by to get in? People patting their dogs then handing salt and pepper cellars for others to handle later....

...had I noticed the sign on the door of this deli on the way in (obscured by a group of people leaving) I would not have gone in to what looked like my kind of place. I had avocado with poached eggs on toast and a very nice pot of tea. However, a party arrived just after I’d ordered, including a dog; shortly afterwards another one arrived. On checking the law, I see that dogs are not forbidden in restaurants but they are not to be in food preparation areas. To access the cafe, you have to walk through the deli - where food is prepared and even openly displayed on a fairly low table in the centre of the shop - but I suppose it depends on how you define “food preparation area.” The people with the dog handled the dog then handled the condiment containers. None of them washed their hands before eating. Given I cannot be certain that particular hygiene controls are in place, I won’t be back.

Popped in to stock up with nice cheese and, as I was ready for a coffee break the look of the cake selection tempted me to stay. I wish I had just paid for my cheese and visited one of the other cafe's with tempting selections in their windows, my almond tart was overbaked and quite hard. The coffee was good enough but then I visited the toilet and it had very obviously not been cleaned recently

We ate lunch here, just wandering on off the street. It's such a relaxed place to spend and afternoon; the decor is lovely, the food is fantastic and the service was great. The prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of the food! We loved it!

Excellent coffee, not bitter like some places, mocha was just divine, just the right amount of chocolate.. carrot cake to die for!! All served in a very relaxed comfy environment, staff very friendly.. dog friendly too! Will definitely be back!

Fab full English, great coffee, nice staff, brilliant music, pleasant scents. Definitely would come back again.

The staff at the Whitby Deli are so nice, very friendly and helpful.

Nice coffee, friendly staff and lots of treats in the deli. Lots of local goodies in here and a nice selection of cheese . And gin!

Went in to buy ‘takeaway’ food. The poor girl behind the counter was serving the cafe and looking after out sales too. She said she would be with me shortly and apologied when she finally came to serve me but the staffing was inadequate for a Saturday.

My visit to whitby deli would have been a positive one had it not been for the fact that I was overcharged on my lunch. I priced it up ahead of time and realised after I paid that I had been overcharged and raised it with them but they didn't really offer much of an explanation or break down of what I paid. Overlooked the menu displayed on the window after just to double check and I was charged £2 over and wished I didn't leave a tip.

Great little find away from the traditional fish and chips. Lovely menu for kida, beautiful sandwiches and lovely salads. Great coffee 😀

Up front, we did not sit down and had food in the deli itself, we went for takeaways. And those were great. We walked in by chance since it looked so nice from the outside and we wanted some take away sandwiches for our hike on the North York Moors. First of all the friendly staff, always ready for smiles, a little chat and hints on what to do. We came back fro takeaway sandwiches a couple of time, cake, cheese and antipasti and were never disappointed. Perfect for a day out - or the journey back home when the kitchen was already closed but they arranged for us to get our sandwiches anyway. Bliss.

We visited the Whitby Deli on 1.9.18 for lunch. We were impressed by the reviews and the fact that this place offered lots of veggie options. The place was quirky and clean but that’s about as good as this place gets.

my wife and I called in for a drink and was pleasantly surprised the staff were great and helpful with great knowledge of what they served and sold. they have a wide and varied list of drinks and food. I chose a tea called the deli blend which they have specially made for their shop and café. the drinks were great in fact I bought 100g to take out. although we didn't have any food it all looked great. I would go back

Found this place by accident and pleased we did. Great service. Lovely setting. Food was delicious. The open Whitby crab sandwich was so fresh and tasty. We will be back.

Good lunch option, don't miss the specials board. Also got a packed lunch for the train on the way home.

called in for coffee and was very impressed. My husband ordered one of their pots of tea and was so impressed with the blend he bought a bag of it. The staff was super helpful and very friendly

We made a beeline for this place having come here last year - really fresh food very tasty and very friendly staff. Something for everyone veggie, vegan or meat lover - also really nice food in the shop would highly recommend when in Whitby and fed up of fish and chips !

Lovely place, excellent food and very welcoming staff. Had breakfast twice and it was totally delicious. Try the sweet potato cakes with poached egg. Heavenly

A foodie approves. I'm always on the hunt for good food. I actually often look up food before I look at attractions when visiting a new place. I ate well in Whiby. I didn't have a bad meal. This place was particularly good and I was really impressed.

Never eaten here, but definitely a place to visit if you like your coffee. Second time we've visited and it's on a quieter street, about a five minute walk from the train station (so don't give up looking for it!). My daughter also enjoyed her fresh fruit smoothie - many thanks.

Always stop of here for coffee when in Whitby. It’s located in the quieter part of town. Great coffee, and lovely food items available to buy. They allow dogs inside to!

Looking for something different to ham sandwiches for a light lunch we stumbled across this deli. Friendly service and happy for us to share a beer and patter of olives hummus and flatbreads. Service was good and the food divine. We will def call again next time we in Whitby. Seating area is small so could get a bit crowded I imagine - fortunately as England were playing we had our pick of tables!

We visited on Saturday night for the pizza offer, 2 x pizzas, side salad and a bottle of wine for £30 excellent value, l opted for the Mega Meats and my wife Chorizo and Manchego. When it arrived l thought that’s got loads of cheese on, Wrong, when I cut into it, it was full of different meats, excellent. You could taste every component from the bread base to the cheesy topping.

Highly recommended deli in a highly recommended town. Love both. Give whitby and this deli a go and can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. There’s even people in on quieter days

Stopped here for brunch prior to exploring Whitby. I opted for the cooked breakfast which was really good. Perfectly cooked poached eggs came as standard which was just great. The avocado on toast with additional bacon was equally good. All came with lovely chunky seeded toast. All washed down with lashings of Whitby tea.

Party of twelve fairly filled the restaurant good value 12 pizzas took 2 sittings but it was all good. Added bonus was member of staff’s ability to take group photos!

Great little cafe and deli. Food excellent and great staff and they've created a lovely atmosphere. Well worth finding

Although we didn't have time to sit and eat/drink (which was a shame), Whitby Deli had been recommended by our Guest House owners as a good place to purchase a sandwich for later in the day.

Near the top of fof the hill on Flowergate with a bright yellow exterior we decided to look at the shop and then decided to stay and have a coffee at the cafe. Friendly service lovely warm ambience and great coffee.

Lived in Whitby for nigh on 20 years and some great places to eat but Whitby Deli on Saturday night is a bit special and a bit different. Really is spot on, if you you can’t trust the locals who can. You trust! Ring and book!

Had coffee and home made lemon and earl grey cake which was delicious, the service was fantastic . There were lovely things to buy with a good range of sauces, jams pickles etc. Whitby deli have their own range of goodies, including wine which would...

This deli is a world away from the kiss me quick area next to the harbour, but only 2 minutes walk. We found this place and nipped in for a spot of lunch and a tea, and the menu was lovely and varied with the...

This is a lovely deli with a few tables, they serve brunch and lunch we had lunch, I had the lamb kofter which was very tasty. They are very accommodating if you wish to ask for off menu items, would recommend.

Great service and good coffee a little pricey but good and the deli itself has a great range of goods.

Lovely brunch! Fresh tasty ingredients and delivery has loads of nice stuff too! Will defo come again. Saturday Night pizza...

I am so pleased that we stumbled across this place late on Friday night. After chatting to the owner, we...

Living in whitby there isn't many nice little shops to buy them little treats. I like this shop I don't find it cheap it is a little pricey but it whitby and you pay more in Lewis copper for the same sort of stuff. I will try everything and love trying new foods but so fare the chutney is fantastic with some cheese and the biscuits are fantastic short bread are my favourite or the cheese chilly biscuits. Never had nothing to eat in here just love the little bits they sell. It's like going shopping for your Christmas bits every week. Staff seem nice door is hard to push open a little stiff.

Stopped here for breakfast. I had the scrambled egg, cheese & chilli on toast and my partner had breakfast sandwich. My scrambled egg was lovely, everything really fresh and tasty. Not too much chilli. Nice little deli attached to this shop also.

Had another great pizza night in the Deli. Beautifully made pizzas with some interesting toppings - last night's harissa, aubergine and pomegranate was a real winner. Washed down with too much good Pinot Noir, not to mention the indulgent brownies!

Stopped here for a quick coffee break. Best carrot cake I've had in years! Finished it off with a very tasty smoothie. Friendly service and very welcoming. Hard to resist all the amazing food they have for sale

I've been meaning to visit this little gem while staying in Whitby, and as it's my last day here I decided to call in for a coffee. Lovely americano, cheery staff, and I am a major fan of the decor and the coffee cups and saucers ! Also very tempted to try the brownies. Would definitely recommend ! Thanks guys ☺️

Delicious open crab sandwiches, crab cakes with aioli, tarts and pastries both savoury and sweet. Great place.

Stopped for lunch one day and had some pots of tea (which were lovely!) and ordered some food. The food was nice enough, nothing really wrong with it but a bit expensive for what it was. Also, quite a small portion for lunch. (Although the couple at the table next to me got crab sandwiches and they looked massive, so maybe the ordered the wrong thing?).

Great sausage rolls and chutney. Nice friendly atmosphere and good service. Little expensive but good quality food.

A nice Deli that we stumbled across on a day trip ; it's well worth a visit if you don't fancy the mass produced fish and chips.A lovely menu with different choices, we had advocado on toast with different toppings. They have a children's menu and suitable seating. Free water available plus a good selection of drinks. Nice clean toliets with baby changing facilities. The deli shop was nice to look around and a good selection of deli things to buy. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend it.

Compact & bijou little deli tucked away on Flowergate, Whitby.Good quality food & drink to sit down and savour, not cheap but really nice. A good selection of deli items​ to take away too.A little gem of a place, worth dropping in!

I did wonder last week if Catherine Cook was related to Captain James Cook.He's from Marton-in-Cleveland, she similarly hails from Teesside. James was an intrepid explorer and, three years ago, Catherine left the security of barristers' chambers in London to head north and open a deli in Whitby.We pretty much loved every inch of this place, ate here a couple of times and shopped for freshly baked pork pies and specialist jellies, supplied by Ryan Tindall of Just Jelly. His mint infused number certainly lifted Mam's lamb casserole the other day.Book now for their delightful pizza night on Saturday. Ask nicely and Catherine might let you sit at our favourite table. It's well worth the hike up Flowergate, if you're down by the harbour.

My girlfriend and I visited here twice during our stay in Whitby, mostly for breakfast/brunch.Initially on my first visit I found the place to be just a cosy little cafe/shop with a delightful selection of biscuits, cakes and cheeses. Once we sat down I just ordered what I thought was an ordinary sausage sandwich. Looking at the price of the sarnie, coming in at £4.50 I thought to myself "that's pretty expensive for a simple sausage sandwich"...that was until I saw it.This sandwich was FREAKIN' HUGE! MASSIVE! The sausage looked the size of a motorcycle tyre! It's tasted absolutely great too and I didn't need to eat until the evening, which was just what I needed. For £4.50 you practically get a meal in a bun that kicks the backside of any burger, so any of you readers thinking "Oh, I could just murder a burger right now" in Whitby why don't you change your mind and visit the Whitby Deli instead.If I was in power I'd make it law for everyone in the UK to visit this place at least once every year.So why does it score four instead of five? Well, compared to a couple of the restaurants in the area it would be unfair to say this was better but as early morning/midday meals this is one of the greatest in the North of England so wherever you are, whatever you are doing, put it down and go there right now.

We were disappointed overall, just wanted a light lunch of soup and bread. No info what the soup actually was, it had bits in a bit like fine fish bones, and in the end really didn't like it very much. Bought some things in the deli shop, but found them very expensive.The apple juice drink I had was very nice.

This was our second visit to Whitby deli and the food and service is every bit as good as a year ago when we last visited. We had already had some lunch elsewhere nearby but wanted to round it off with some cheese and wine in a relaxing atmosphere and we knew this place would be perfect. A cheese board wasn't on the blackboard menu but the girl helpfully made one up for us from the deli counter based on our preferences. Nothing was too much trouble and we spent a very pleasant hour just watching the world go by, eating cheese and drinking very nice wine.

Visited once for hot drinks and once for lunch. Drinks were lovely and when eating we both had a ploughmans which was delicious and filling. Bought some goods to go when we left too. Careful that you dont leave it too late as they stop serving hot food from about 3pm i believe.

The deli has a friendly and casual atmosphere. Service was quick and food was delicious and tasty. We were looking for something fresh and vegan/vegetarian and the deli did not disappoint. I chose a meal with avocado and when the kitchen said they were out of avocados the waitress asked what type of thing I fancied and they made me a lovely greek style lunch with plenty of fresh green salad. OH had haloumi with mixed salad and Mum really enjoyed the fresh pea and mint ravioli. The coffee and tea were also excellent. Non veggie people are also well catered for, with all usual deli treats. So there is something healthy and filling for every one. Cost was under £10 each for lunch and a hot drink.

Came across the Whitby Deli whilst looking for a meal in Whitby that didn't involve seafood!The menu was basic, but the vibe and food were good. An extremely pleasant way to spend an hour or so.
