Witsend Cafe in Scarborough

Nos encanta venir aquí, ya que está tan cerca de la playa y en un día frío queman un verdadero fuego, así que realmente se puede calentar. Comida y bebidas siempre de buena calidad servidas en un entorno agradable.

Gran pequeño café al lado del aparcamiento, con un gran servicio amable y un buen desayuno en un buen bollo, los sándwiches son geniales, recién hechos en las instalaciones, así que tienes un poco de espera para tu rollo de desayuno, pero está lleno para que obtengas un gran desayuno, no goteando en grasa, sino en un bonito bollo blanco claro, elección de marrón o blanco. Servido en una caja para llevar (nos sentamos en la escollera) con una selección de salsa roja y salsa marrón incluida en la caja con un cuchillo y un tenedor para aquellos que no sienten que pueden manejarlo. Para mí como persona libre de lácteos (no por elección) tenía el café con leche de avena que por un pequeño lugar nos complacen que nos acomodan que no puede beber leche.

Está bien, excelente ubicación y servicio rápido. Sin embargo, una vez más, la comida mediocre y el personal no muy amigable con el cliente, sin interacción, sin sonrisas, uno se pregunta si les gusta su trabajo.

Bonito lugar ordenado con una gran ubicación justo al lado de la playa, bonita zona exterior y admite perros (si se mantiene bajo control). Los inconvenientes son, el personal de pinikity (el lugar está cubierto de carteles que te dan instrucciones o te advierten sobre cosas que no les gustan) , comida mediocre, y una cocina que no puede manejar grupos mayores de 2 . Tanto nuestra mesa como la de al lado tenían las comidas traídas más de 15 minutos. No debería ser difícil con sándwiches básicos tenerlos todos listos al mismo tiempo, no es buena comida. Solo tiene el aire de algún lugar que los propietarios se han agravado tanto con los clientes a lo largo de los años, que ya no se molestan con demasiado esfuerzo.

Living not far from Sandsend, I must have passed the cafe hundreds of times but today decided to pay our first visit to the cafe following a shopping trip to Whitby. A wonderful, extremely clean establishment and the staff are very friendly, serving with a warm welcome. Now I realise what I've been missing for years!!! Will definitely be back soon.

Not surprisingly perhaps, Whitby needed another visit very quickly, now I'm not saying Witsend was the only thing driving the decision but it played its part. So this time no need to sample the rest, every morning breakfast at Witsend, consistently as tasty as we remembered and Bob the dog was grateful for his plate of sausage too! When they say 'Dogs Welcome' they really are welcomed and treated as well as any customer. The cakes DON'T disappoint either., a different array of calorie filled gorgeousness every day. The garden is lovely, a calm, peaceful area filled with planters full, and I mean FULL, of flowers; a cake baker and a gardener, what a combination. The recipe for success in my eyes.

I popped into this cafe for a post-run hot chocolate and a slice of cake. I usually go to one of the other cafes in Sandsend. I won't be rushing back. I ordered a hot chocolate and a slice of chocolate cake and paid. I was asked where I was going to sit and told the assistant. Then a lady seemed to take over the order and asked again where I was sitting. A hot chocolate was put into a paper cup (as I was to sit outside) and she started to put a Victoria sponge in a paper carton. I asked, "excuse me, is that for me?" She snapped, "well, yes" I said, "I ordered a chocolate cake." She tutted at me and said, "well it says Victoria sponge on there". I said, "it maybe does but I ordered a chocolate cake". The lad who took my order said, "yeah, it's a chocolate cake". Again, she said, "well it says Victoria sponge there", as if somehow I'd reached over the counter and written 'Victoria sponge' on their ordering system. The chocolate cake was dry and the hot chocolate was watery.

We called in here as it advertised it was did friendly and we were not disappointed. The greeting we received was very friendly and the service really prompt too. The food we ordered was simply delicious and it was the little touches that enhanced already good food. For example the side salad accompanying my tuna mayo jacket potato was fresh and delicious as well as nicely presented and complimented the jacket really well . My son went for Pumpkin soup with optional chorizo which he devoured and heartily approved of as did his girlfriend with her macaroni cheese. My wife had a cheese and tomato panini which she too loved along with her latte. The view outside of the crashing waves added to the overall experience and we will definitely visit again if we are in the area. The bill too was a pleasant surprise at little over £40 for four lots of food and drinks. We entered hungry and left very replete.

We call in here most Sundays for breakfast and are never ever disappointed by the service or the food quality. Even when we ask for items that are a little different from the normal menu we have found the staff to be really accommodating. Wits End is very dog friendly (there’s always a tasty sausage ready and waiting for our pooches!). We have always found Debra, the owner, and her staff to be welcoming, friendly and generous…..which is why we keep returning. I have no hesitation in giving this lovely little cafe 5 stars and would highly recommend you put it onto your list of places to visit when in Whitby.

We found the female assistant very unwelcoming . We arrived at 15.10 and the sign outside said open until 16.30. We were told very abruptly that it’s only drinks and cakes. However she asked in the kitchen and we’re told we could have baked potatoes with no garnish and only cheese and beans. We reluctantly agreed to this as we were hungry. What a disaster!! Melted cheap, tasteless bright orange cheese and cheap over heated beans slapped on what looked like a microwaved potato with 2 portions of butter served separately though you couldn’t access the potato to put it in through the pulp of the greasy, smelly filling. Shockingly overpriced at £9 each. Too greasy and unpleasant to eat much of it. The assistant was growling at the other poor people wanting food or ice cream and being told there was no vanilla. A group arrived at 15.50 and were growled at and told we close at 4 and it’s 10 to now so you’ll have to eat outside. People were walking away in droves!! We foolishly went on to order 2 flat white coffees to take away the taste but they bore no resemblance to coffee never mind flat whits and were completely tasteless and milky with frothed milk on top at £3.20 each. The best part was an imported pack of 3 custard creams at 75 pence. WE ADVISE ANYONE TO STEER WELL CLEAR OF THIS PLACE AND WALK FURTHER ALONG THE SEA FRONT TO TIDES OR SANDSIDE CAFE WHERE YOU WILL BE WELCOMED AND SUPPLIED WITH GOOD FOOD AND COFFEE.

Went for brunch today to be managed by the most hostile and rude female member of staff. We were spoke down to like servants from someone who is clearly in the wrong job which spoiled our afternoon. Such a shame as enjoyed our previous visit served by someone else. Asked who the owner was so we could make a complaint. She should not be allowed front of house as she has no people skills. If it were my business she would be gone. Needs to go. Nice place let down by one individual.

Stopped off while walking the Cleveland Way. We were invited to take a seat and the garden was pointed out to us. The garden was a surprise space full of large pots of begonias in an assortment of of colours. We both ordered the full English breakfast, to set us up for a full days walking on the coastal path. The Full English cost £12, and included tea and toast. We both thought for what we got it was good value. The breakfast was served hot and tasty. Service was by friendly staff. I would recommend if walking by.

What a delightful little cafe. You are greeted by a welcoming young man and there is covered outside seating or a cosy little inside area. All around the cafe is a fantastic display of flowers which are lovely to see. The menu is typical cafe offerings but all are prepared as required and very satisfying. It is also able to take disabled chairs and has a disabled toilet, which was vital to us.

It's very poor customer service from the lady in charge she was very rude. She put dog friendly but it's not dog friendly even to the customers I have never had customer service as bad as that

Excellent quality breakfast! Way too much in the plate for me, but ideal for the hungry breakfaster! Friendly and helpful staff.

A great little cafe, tucked away the the quieter end of Sandsend with both indoor and sheltered outdoor seating - don’t be fooled by the small looking cafe - it’s a tardis when you come through with more seating than you think. Service was friendly and efficient, the flatbread panini sandwiches are well worth trying. I love this little place and will be sure to visit again

Worst breakfast sandwich ever ! One bacon sandwich and one sausage sandwich to takeaway , £5 each. Served on dry ciabatta, bacon was raw , ruined my morning. Give it a miss

Sadly I was greeted by a very rude, abrupt, and unhelpful female member of staff. The food is definitely good quality, but is well overpriced! Putting a couple of crisps on a plate with a cheese pannini, doesn't justify the £8.00 charged. The member of staff needs to either change her attitude, or look for another job. Preferably not in the hospitality industry

This is a lovely little find. After a rainy walk across the beach and climbing through the rock pools we came here for coffee and ice cream and I’m glad we did. A very cosy cafe with a log burner and the sounds of relaxing classical music. Coffee lovely. Lovely ice cream and lovely scones (so my husband tells me!) highly recommended.

What a find! We could see from the car park next to it that this place was open Only needing coffee and cake we found it outstanding Coffee was very good indeed, and good value for large flat whites Cakes also spot on Staff very...

Called in to the Witsend cafe today and to be fare was a little bit shocked at the pricing...£6 for a sausage sandwich £6 for a bacon sandwich £5 for an egg sandwich!!! I mean come on £5 for an egg sandwich....but ey ho we...

Perfect destination for lunch after a walk from Whitby. We sat in the really cosy ‘annexe’ - still inside but beyond the heart of the cafe. Excellent for gluten free choices. My GF bacon and Brie sandwich was simply scrummy. Always cheerful and efficient service.

Two days after Christmas it was a delight to find a friendly, cosy, dog welcoming, café open and serving lunch immediately next to the beach carpark at Sandsend. Wits End café had friendly owners and staff, was toasty warm, and had a range of good...

I called by and got myself a takeaway coffee on Sunday and it was the nicest coffee I’ve had in a very long time. Cinnamon flat white with oat milk.

Wouldn't go back. Staff very friendly but not backed up by their products. Disappointed as had been recommended this cafe

Having spent a week of cafe breakfasts on holiday; trying a variety of establishment with imperfections such as overly greasy/fatty fry ups and tepid drinks. Rather typically for us we find the best of the bunch on our last morning; the welcoming, dog friendly, Wits...

Visited today, with my partner and our little dog for dinner. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and good value for money. Enjoyed it so much we called back later in the day for another drink. I would highly recommend this café...

the beautiful location goes without saying but the cafe itself is a gem. V clean inside and out. staff were lovely and they have a nice menu. cakes were gorgeous.

Had lunch here over the weekend. This cozy little tearoom right by the sea is definitely worth trying Meals were quick to arrive and very tasty especially the home cooked chips, staff really friendly polite and efficient Highly recommended

I popped in toady when passing and had a Lovely fresh, locally caught crab sandwich, all the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Definitely will return.

Went here with our two dogs, very welcoming, lovely piping hot coffee and whilst we didn't eat on this visit, the food others were enjoying looked lovely.

I cant understand some of the reviews. We found the customer service fantastic and the food very good and reasonably priced. Ok maybe the menu is limited to some people but we found it adequate. When we parked in the car park we found that...

What a cracking service today at the wits end. Our party of 11 were looked after from the moment we walked in the door. We had a brilliant selection of lovely sarnies, soup, cakes, coffee and chips (which are to die for). They made our...

I'm afraid I cannot comment on the food or drink as we walked out after being spoken to so rudely !! After a long coastal walk we wanted a cuppa and a sit down. We observed 2 people sitting inside and a take away hatch...

Had a fantastic bap breakfast here, delicious and great value. Cosy cafe beside the car park with beach nearby. Very welcoming and dog friendly.

The always friendly staff serving up good food in a unique building and garden with a heated cabin with real fire in the winter to keep people warm.

Really disappointed, wish we had chosen another cafe on the seafront. The staff were lovely & facilities great, dog friendly & good choice of food. However, really expensive & not value for money at all. £9 for a jacket potato with cheese & beans &...

Friendly service and very dog friendly (dog bowls and water near the toilets) Lovely big scone and jam! Sweet sheltered courtyard facing the sun

Visited on a gloriously warm October day and enjoyed lunch in the Walled Garden. The staff were very accommodating as there were four of us and they moved some chairs around so we could all sit together. Two of us had the carrot, butterbean and...

Was made to feel very uncomfortable by rude staff as we didn't have the the exact amount of money, shame as it used to be a lovely place to visit.

My partner and I visited the café 2 days ago, we ordered a tuna and cheese panini each, the quality was awful. The panini was small and the content of the panini was minimal, the tuna and cheese were a really cheap quality, with a...

The menu is slimmed down very much from a few years ago,,The egg mayo is a cheap supermarket product not made at the cafe, other items no longer served..I aid last time in 2018 it would be sometime before I visited again..certainly not any time...

After so many months of drinking out of plastic cups and eating off paper plates , to walk in and have china cups and saucers was a real treat. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The poor young man who showed us to our table,...

You don't need to read a lot of reviews to spot the theme for this place. I only wish I had read these before visiting for a bite to eat and a brew. The sandwich was awful, either the ingredients were the cheapest of the...

This used to be a great place. Now it is overpriced and really poor. The panini I chose was more like ciabatta with horrible bacon and very little brie. A small attempt to garnish failed. It fails me why restaurants do this... times are tough,...

Popped in for coffee, plenty of space inside & out, friendly staff. Convenient for the car park, can get busy!

Dog friendly cafe, plenty of water bowls available. The rear courtyard is a lovely sun trap. The menu is perfect for the location, offering mains, snacks and cakes.

This cafe has a beautiful and secluded walled garden right next to the car park and Sandsend. Nice selection of tea, coffee and cakes. Covid friendly, orders are placed at the window so no need to enter.

Ordered 2 panini with bacon and brie. They were not panini at all, a small dry ciabata, with one rasher of cheap fatty bacon and 2 small bits of brie. It had been no where near a panini press. And to add insult to injury...

What a welcome from the staff and the service was excellent. The food was top quality and the drinks were hot.

What a lovely sunny spot to sit and drink a nice relaxing coffee after a walk. The ladies are very friendly and welcoming. There is a garden to sit in which is very nice. We chose to have a gorgeous Bakewell tart with our coffee. Got to be worth a stop if you are up at Sandsend.

Stopped for a coffee, enticed by a good review of the place and the prospect of the walled garden. The ‘walled garden’ turned out to be a dank, cheerless, scruffy-looking yard adorned with many admonitory signs. Many, but not all, of these related to Covid 19, and I gather from some previous reviews that bossy signage is a feature of the place. The most depressing sign of all announced that the toilets are closed due to Covid 19. Other establishments keep their toilets open, so why can’t this one?There is no service. You knock on a small hatch door and a person appears behind it to take your order. When the order is ready the hatch briefly reopens to disgorge food and drink. And that’s it. No hospitality. We ordered two flat whites which turned out to be intimidatingly large disposable beakers filled with a brownish liquid. It tasted of very little and certainly not of coffee. I left most of mine and we turned our backs on this place, never to return.

Accepting times of COVID, staff pointed us to take a seat in the garden room (Not shown through) we waited 20 mins and no-one came to serve us. We left and I mentioned my disappointment to the 3 staff behind counter. Their response was “we are busy”. I said that wasn’t really good enough to leave customers that long (a customer after me ordered 8 takeaway coffees!). Again I said they should really prioritise customers to which her reply was “what do you want me to do, can you get out the way I need to serve this customer”. I have a holiday home near and was a regular customer before lockdown. I won’t go again, I will not recommend this cafe, such rudeness doesn’t deserve business.

Second visit, last time it was sunny and warm, today it was a pea soup fog. Nice pot of tea and nibbles

Overpriced...£5 for a bacon roll and £10 for a cooked breakfast. Customer service was non existent and waitress was rude when we queried our order. Definitely won’t be back.

Called for lunch on way to Whitby. Cosy cafe with great view. Good choice on menu. Range of cakes and specials available too. Decided on a soup and sandwich on ciabatta. Good portion size, not as tasty as could have been and somewhat overpriced.

Waited at counter to be served and no acknowledgement from two staff making coffees, not even hello and I’ll be with you. Ordered two hot drinks and tea cake. Only after paying did we realise tea cake was £4! Ok got 5 pats of butter but still! Yes price is on the menu but... Quality of drinks and tea cake fine but not much could go wrong. Sorry but better value elsewhere.

Very over priced compared with the other cafes in the village. Better value at the "Tides" and "Sandsend Cafe".

Well - good location and does take-outs to the beach/car park. As anywhere in Whitby now - car parks are to pay for and are very expensive! The place is small and the menu is rather limited but the staff are friendly and efficient. Food reasonably priced.

Took our whippet for a run on the beach and checked if the cafe was dog friendly. Of course said the owner and we got a lovely welcome including our whippet ‘Peanut’The coffee was one of the nicest coffees I’ve had in a long time and all the staff were lovely. Great cheese scones too. The perfect stop with ample public parking. Seating inside is very cosy and wow it even has a lovely outdoor enclosed courtyard out back if you want to catch some sunshine away from the mad hustle and bustle of whitby. Will we be back....? for sure and we hope to make it our regular stop when we take a run along the beach.See you all soon xx

We'd often passed this cafe on our way to Whitby and I'd always fancied trying it. I wish we hadn't. It was so disappointing. £10.50p for 1 tea, 1 mocha coffee + a egg mayonnaise ciabatta sandwich seemed a tad expensive. Granted there was a small salad + a few crisps to accompany the sandwich but the ciabatta itself was very dry. Next time we'll try another cafe in Sandsend or just wait until we get to Whitby.

Nice enclosed garden at the rear, excellent food menu serving alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and offers free WiFi. Very friendly staff, dog friendly and definitely worth a visit.

Avery pleasant old cottage style building with lots of extra seating outside, very popular with dog walkers. I had a Yorkshire Rarebit which was good but very large - hence the price. Mum had a Ciabatta which again was very large but it was very dry and difficult to chew. The portions could be smaller and so cheaper. The cakes looked great but we were too full wish we had just gone for them.

Having completed a long walk we stopped for a light lunch. The waitresses were very attentive and the welsh rarebit excellent, the tea pot refilled, the cake and ice cream wonderful. We sat out at the front in a lovely sheltered corner but could have sat inside or in the courtyard at the back. I would have given 5 stars but dogs were allowed inside! My wife is allergic to dogs and we increasingly find it hard to find a place to eat.

If you're looking for friendly service, great food and value for money...…….this isn't the place to go. My wife and I wanted a light lunch, and as we didn't want to leave it any later, we called at this café when passing on our way to Staithes. We both ordered cheese and onion with chutney on ciabatta, with salad, a soft drink and a cup of tea.The salad was inedible, slimy, brown, rotting and possibly well past its retirement date. The ' ciabatta ' bore a remarkable resemblance to the cheapest bread bun imaginable.Being pressed for time, we ate the cheese and pickle bread roll, drank up, and spoke to the proprietor. Remarks about the salad were rebuffed with a comment about the lettuce having being splashed by the rain when it grew ( and there was I thinking that lettuce actually needed rain when it grew, in order to appear fresh and healthy ). No apology, no offer to knock a little off the bill, and " that'll be £16 ". So, if you're looking for friendly service, great food and value for money...……..go a few miles up the road towards Staithes, and call at the Barn Owl café, where you'll receive a warm welcome from the staff and the woodburning stove, comfy chairs, great food at very agreeable prices, newspapers and books...…..and an antiques shop on site to add further interest to an establishment that deserves to succeed.

Called here last Friday during an afternoon visit.I had a bacon roll and Jackie a fruit scone,which were both very nice but overpriced.The staff were very nice and friendly,but wouldn't call again due to prices...shame.

We stopped here after a coastal walk and really enjoyed the visit - my husband enjoyed his Chelsea Bun so much we returned the following day with friends so he could have another one! I enjoyed my Cappucino and flapjack too and the staff were lovely, so was surprised to read some of the negative reviews from other customers.

Although the service was okay, the food was very basic and absurdly over-priced. I'm not the first to say that here. The cafe has lots of signs telling visitors how to behave, which I found condescending. Id' recommend a cafe further up the bay if you're looking to eat around here.

We stopped for coffee mid morning, planning to return for lunch. There was one dog there when we arrived, shortly after two more, soaking wet and smelling very 'doggy'. came in with their owners. We drank our coffee quickly and left.

Just as others have written, really. £4 for a toasted teacake is frankly insulting. Coffee is more expensive than everywhere else too. Cake was £3.50 for a distinctly average bit of coffee cake. Complete ripoff, basically.

We stopped here while out walking. Not welcoming Im afraid to say. Lots of off putting signs everwhere! Vastly overpriced for a tearooms. Expensive coffees and £4 for a rather ordinary teacake is tantamount to daylight robbery. The lovely beach cafe at Runswick bay sells a far superior teacake with jam for £1.70! We will definitely not be returning.

On a very windy day my wife and I and our dog entered the establishment only to be shouted at in a very loud and rude manner from the kitchen, to shut the door! Give us a chance to get in I replied. Even the lady behind the counter told her the same!

we called in on a very hot day and decided it was to hot for tea and coffee so decided on 2 single ice cream cones to take outside and eat - £6! I know this is a seaside area and you expect to pay a bit more but that is well overpriced

Called in as was passing doing an East Coast Drive about, what a little gem the staff were very welcoming and polite, the sandwiches were good sized portions and very good quality no skimping, I had a pocket full of change and offered it to be exchanged for notes, they were extremely greatful, apparently the nearest bank is Guisbrough, so if you plan on going have a pocket full of change!

We use to love the flat breads they use to do but sadly they don't do them anymore. The prices are unreal. There are to many signs all over the place I really don't know what's happend to this place. It's a lovely spot in the right location but sadly we won't be visiting again

After visiting this cafe today we are left wishing we had taken a picnic! £7 for a toastie ( made with cheap white bread) and salad which had seen better days is way overpriced as was the shop bought cheese scone! A shame because it could be really special with a bit more effort and less ‘let’s just get as much money as we can without providing quality’. This cafe has a prime spot and needs to give customers quality food worthy of its location. We will not return.

Called in for a Couple of teas and ice cream for the kids no signs up saying dogs allowed so presumed we had to takeout however other dogs in the building asked if we could bring the dog in and have a spot of lunch the two young girls behind the counter said of course so we took our drinks and ice creams to the rear garden. On reading the menu had to laugh at the severely over Inflated prices, believe me it's cheaper to eat in a three Michelin star restaurant but hey ho you only live once. The rear garden was quite busy with customers when out of the woodwork came the jobsworth elder waitress having no form of decency whatsoever shouting so everyone could hear you can't drink out of takeaway cups in this restaurant your kids can have their ice cream tho and it's a good job my boss isn't hear or he would sling you out, due the this the entire garden of customers were looking at us and was embarrassing for my family as the waitress was 20 foot away from us reciting the restaurant laws I refused to enter into an argument with her, we upped and left. All I can say is avoid this place at all cost.

We always park in the car park next to the cafe but hadn't been in. No reason other than we normally eat at Bridge Cottage Bistro so hadn't been in.

We have been visiting this café for about 15 years but do not understand what

Good selection of gluten free, I had the Yorkshire ham gluten free sandwich which was tasty and filling. It's not the cheapest place but everyone's food looked good and there was plenty of it. They were also happy for us to just have tap water with our lunch. Alfresco dining available with a nice courtyard garden at the back.

Never again ,£4 for a toasted tea cake, £4 for a chips ,a bowl of bland soup and not hot for just under a fiver. I don't mind at all paying for good quality food but this is far from that .

We recently stayed in Sandsend for a week and ate breakfast at this cafe several times. The staff were all friendly and service was quick and efficient. We had the full English each time and food was well cooked and presented nicely. Coffee was good and the orange juice lovely. We realise there are cheaper places to eat but thought the price reflected the standard of food. Also dog friendly which is a bonus. The cakes looked lovely although we didnt get a chance to try them. I am surprised by all the negatve reviews and thought it was a nice, clean, well run establishment.

Been here a few times over the years. Was always good value and good food, with some nice specials on the specials board. Last couple of times prices are notably higher and choices more restricted. Dogs now allowed though but make sure you adhere to all the bossy signs everywhere.

Hello Just to say that the toasted tea cake you offer is vastly over priced for what you get, I am aware that you state on your Menu that it's a large one, but when you can get two elsewhere for less than your prices then it's not value for money and having visited Sandsend end on many occasions we will not be visiting Witsend again sorry

We enjoyed a hot drink and toasted sandwiches. The café was warm and welcoming, the food was tasty and hot, great coffee. The dog was welcomed too.

Stopped here after walking on the beach in a biting wind. Cafe was warm, table in a cosy area and atmosphere friendly.

Arrived with the wife on a Saturday morning, quite early. There was a nice log burner in the corner which gave off a nice amount of heat and was a good focal point. Order was taken and we warmed ourselves while it was being cooked to order. When breakfast came, it was hot, nicely presented and well cooked with decent ingredients. The only thing I would say is it was a little overpriced at £9 each but this did include coffee.

Well situated near the sea, car park and the Cleveland Way. Dog friendly inside and in the garden. Friendly staff. Very nice cakes.

We've eaten here many times before and it is really good for good, old fashioned cafe food - good portions and tasty. This time, though, our 'fry up' tasted slightly odd and we identified it as the oil it had been cooked in. It was still very tasty and good value and it won't stop us visiting again.

A cosy warm place after time on the beach, food standard Ok but something in the order of a 30% price increase since my last visit in summer of 2017. Chips last year £3 now £4 a 33% increase, toasted teacake £4,,tea for two £4.30 It will be some time before I go here again.

What an absolute gem of a cafe. Right next to the beach and so warm and cosy on a cold winter's day. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we, along with our dog were made to feel very welcome. We ordered full English breakfasts and coffees and I can honestly say the breakfast was one of the best I have ever eaten. The coffee was very good too. We will definitely be back again.

Just passing and found this little eccentric cafe with a scout hut out the back(or so it seems) with real fires during cold weather.

I cannot believe that I was charged £8 for two toasted tea cakes today We had a distinctly average cheese...

My third review from a weekend in Whitby. Whitby is ace and always worth a visit. My reviews however have...

Four of us had lunch. A small cheese scone £3! Two baked potatoes with beans (£6) with no salad, coleslaw or any trimmings. Just plonked on an enamel dish. Service was curt and not welcoming. I don't like complaining but compared to lots of other lunch places we found this one was overpriced and food badly presented.

We had walked the 5 miles from Runswick Bay and Witsend was a lovely place to rest with a glass of wine and a very tasty soup for lunch at the end of our walk. All served with a cheery welcome and smile.

Three of us had delicious meals that were attractive and tasty. The older staff were a lot more friendly and welcoming.

Our hungry family of six called in here when we spent the day on lovely Sandsend beach. We had coffees and hot chocolates, and bacon and sausage rolls which were large, well filled and delicious. The service was nice and friendly, including helpful advice on the tides. I've given 4 rather than 5 stars because it was a bit expensive.

Called in after walking from Whitby. The outside seating is a fantastic sun trap.Service was excellent, very quickly seated and order taken.Our breakfast was great, plenty of it, well cooked and high quality.Will be back

We love this part of the world, the beaches and the people. We bagged an Airbnb overlooking the beach and remembered this lovely café. On a bend at the side of the road, you can watch the world go by whilst enjoying wonderful service, beautiful cakes and lovely freshly ground coffee. Lovely touches like knowing every ingredient in the cake and being clued up about Gluten Free. Real service like you don't get in city centre cafés and all with a lovely disposition that people in this part of the country specialise in. Perfect for a quiet coffee or a beachside lunch or snack. Wonderful. A must visit.
