A lovely little takeaway in a stunning position in Whitby, not far from Whitby Pavilion. I had a lovely takeaway tea and some flap jack. Although it was January, it was busy and there is outdoor seating aplenty. Nicely priced too!
Clara’s Ice Cream and Coffee place in Whitby is an absolute gem! It’s a cute little spot—clean, well-kept, and very reasonably priced. The ice cream and coffee are both top-notch, and the friendly atmosphere makes it even better. A perfect stop if you’re in the area!
I happened upon this place when the tide was coming. No expectations but thought I’d give it a try rather than wait to get a coffee in the main part of town. I checked that they had a proper coffee machine and ordered a latte. And it was fantastic. You know when you just taste a great coffee and how you usually put up with just ok coffee? This place is one of those. Great friendly and fast staff too. Go here.
My favourite place on West Cliff. Too many seaside places cost the earth but this pace is great value, generous portions, with friendly service. Sit outside and take in the great view.
This place was an amazing little cafe for our holiday in Whitby! The staff were lovely and made us want to come back multiple times (which we did). They are very generous with the ice cream scoops and all seem like they really enjoy working there. An overall great place to go for a coffee with an amazing view of the sea.
