The entire place is decked out with (you guessed it) Sherlock Holmes memorabilia, which makes for a very fun theme. The chairs are cozy and the hot chocolate is scrumptious.

Looks a bit overwhelming to start with as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. We found a table in a corner and far inside on what seemed like an end of a hallway with tables on either side. We choose our drinks and cakes went to the counter to order. Our order came pretty quick. I ordered a coffee, latte, scone and fruit meringue. They were delicious. The price was average too, just under £10 for 2 drinks, scone and meringue

Humble pie n mash is one of the most memorable food experiences we had on our trip to England. We…read morevisited this cute little place with family that came from Australia (we came from the US). We were all starving and had to wait maybe only 15 minutes for a table, and the wait was certainly worth it. The menu is limited, as they only serve meat pies (with two veggie pie options- one vegan and one vegetarian). Your pie comes with mashed potato and either peas or mashed peas. The pies are quite large and they're so delectable. Best meat pies we had on the trip. The portions of potatoes and peas are generous, too. What really brings the experience to the next level, though, are the dishes the pies are served in and the music playing in the background. It creates an "old timey" experience that is the perfect touch. I will be dreaming of those pies, and would highly recommend that anyone in the area go here. It's a MUST.

It was a must for me as a tourist to Whitby to see this establishment and to try a Whitby Lemon Bun and eat mine just like Tony Robinson did on TV when he showed viewers how the locals ate theirs.

Free wifi and good brews too.

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.
