One of the best meals we've had in the UK. Everything is fresh and creative. Decent wine…read moreselection and an unbelievable gin selection (101 varieties to be exact). The sandwiches are perfect. From the roast beef to the egg mayonnaise to my favorite, the crab. World class cappuccinos and desserts, as well. You're welcome to dine on the patio, which permits dogs, or in the lovely dining room.

This place made my week in Whitby! Ate here twice for lunch…read more Great food, all homemade, great value and wonderful staff Only downside was a silly woman who allowed here dog to sit on her knee and kept feeding it from the table! Did'nt mind that they allow dogs, have them myself, but they should stay firmly on the floor. Will be back tho' later in the year.
Fantastic little place. Nice coffee, friendly welcoming atmosphere, absolutely delicious (and huge)…read morehome made cakes. Service has always been warm, friendly and with a smile. They are also very welcoming to dogs. The thing me and my wife particulary like is that the cafe is lined with second hand books, and we rarely go in without coming away with some new reading matter. What more could you want? Highly reccommended

The menu had a lot of options from salads and sandwiches to hot mains, so there's plenty to choose from.

Whitby isn't short of tea rooms, they are every few paces it seems, yet we keep going back to the…read moresame one, Whitby Tea Rooms is on Church street and you can't miss its red interior. You go in and there are tables in the window and the rest in front of you leading to a counter where you place your order. There is a menu on the table and specials up on the board. We've tried pretty much everything in there and go back time and again, as the food is good and prices are reasonable. As well as sandwiches, all day breakfasts and soup, they do special hot meals such as lasagne, and a wide selection of cakes, and yummy treacle tart. After you place your order the food will be cooked fresh and brought to you and then you pay at the counter afterwards. My tip is to get a window seat so you can watch the world go past as you wait.
Their cakes are great- but almost a little more style than substance- there always used to be an…read moreopinion that some of the staff had a bit of an attitude- which I did experience, but so many good reviews and time passed, time for another go- and it was a bit of the same again. I will try again, because I do think it's worth it, and I had caught them on a very rainy day!!

Oh WOW - that's the ultimate thing anyone says about this chocolate shop because it really is one…read moreof the most amazing sights to behold any chocolate lovers eyes. Seriously, the first time I saw it, I wanted to dive right in! This shop is located on the same side of the river as the abbey and the 199 steps are. It's on the main street that leads up to the 199 steps but bare in mind it can be hard to miss, the first time I visited it, I walked right past it! Inside is kind of a cafe set up with gorgeous leather chairs for anyone who wants to sit down and eat - trust me with these products, sitting down is the best option. They serve either skewers which come on a paper plate or boxes. Theres strawberries, fudge, marshmallows and grapes all arranged in a vareity of ways but I've visited enough times now (self confessed chocoholic) to recommend the strawberries if you're a bit stuck with that to choose. Anyway you pay your money - warning here it's extremely pricy, £4 for a skewer with 5 strawberries on - and then they take a spoon and coat whatever you've chosen in a mound of chocolate. Then you're free to go your way and live in heaven for a few minutes then try to resist the temptation of going back. The skewers are heavy so if you're planning to walk, I would say get a box if you can.

Dinner was an ambient, gastronomical delight(my partner states the Surf&Turf is his new "death-row" meal). Not enough good can be said about the coach house, the food, and incredible staff. We will be back here.
