"This cafe was without doubt fully worth 5 stars. Dog friendly, very clean and nice atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and food (we had tea, and scones with jam and cream) is very nice and good prices too. Was popular when we were in and only a small place approx for 12 people. Toilets very clean."

"Absolutely brilliant! Stopped for a coffee and scones but would love to try all the other options on the menu, and there were a lot of options! The coffee was delicious, scones freshly baked and we had a lovely chat with the owner. Service was welcoming and friendly. I'm so happy we discovered this Whitby gem."

"WOW ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL!! I went here with my sister's for a nice sit down brew and scones nicest scones I've ever eaten in my living existence. Came out warm with a little pot of jam and a little pot of butter- cream was also an option I just don't like cream. Poured over the scones bit into them just wow from the very first bite warm, crumbly just the right amount of butter and the jam just the right amount of sweet absoulute perfection. The pot of tea actually stayed hot it made 4 little cups of tea enough for me and my 2 sister's after they both had their own drinks! all in all we had a lovely time would highly recommend . The staff were so friendly and helpful it was just so cosy and nice sitting here for a while watching the world go by. Need to add everything homemade this was amazing they had a large selection of everything hm soup,hm cakes,hm scones and more."
