Franco's Italian Cakes

I’d heard some great reviews by family about the cakes in the shop so I went by to check for myself. I was NOT disappointed 🤤 I’ve never seen so many options, and the man himself (Franco) was bringing down a fresh batch of sticky toffee cookies as I was buying, so I had to grab one of these as well as a selection of others. To be honest, the pictures speak for themselves 🤷‍♂️🧡 Top work 👏 clearly made with passion and love. Keep it up 👍

Trust me, see all other review photos of the cakes on offer, that's what you get. Very appealing and affordable luxury. I only popped in out of the rain for two cups of coffee and was quite shocked at how low priced they were. That's why I did this review. Praise to those who seek to serve.

This bakery is genuinely amazing in every way possible 5* all the way. Beautiful food, the best service, and the atmosphere just lovely, friendly and welcoming.. oh.. Beautiful fresh ground coffee too. I had an espresso, cookies, rum babas and some POSH PEBBLES (Italian chocolates). So glad this place exists in our favourite place on Earth, Whitby. A MUST VISIT for anyone visiting Whitby.

These cakes are exceptional! All freshly baked, absolutely delicious and obviously made with passion. We are usually strict vegans but have been tempted by these delicious confections and great coffee on our visits to Whitby. The apple parcels and fruit tarts melt in the mouth and the chocolate almond boats have the most amazing flavour and texture. Very friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend! UPDATE: Franco’s now have indoor seating! They have moved into the market square and their new place is great! Try to get there early, they are more popular than ever in their new location and stocks are low later in the day.The coffee and cakes are still the best you will find for miles around! (Apparently Franco bakes everything fresh daily and starts his endeavours at midnight each day.) We also bought some focaccia to take away. Three minutes in the air fryer on bake and they were exceptionally delicious with the soup I made. UPDATE: We sampled soup and focaccia yesterday. It was absolutely delicious! Amazing value! A bowl of well-flavoured soup with a wide variety of vegetables, green beans, Borlotti beans, gluten-free pasta …… all perfectly cooked. Very health-giving, light but satisfying and served with the most delicious focaccia. We had the plain focaccia (which was anything but “plain”!) but a cheesy one was available. Needless to say, we couldn’t resist a strawberry tart and the best coffee in Whitby to follow, despite feeling well-satisfied by the soup and focaccia! This place really is a Whitby gem! We just hope it doesn’t get too popular and we won’t be able to secure a seat.

Lovely cake shop in Whitby selling Italian cakes, cheesecakes, cookies and lots more definitely recommend to visit you can eat in as well ❤️
