Shelly's Tea Shop

Never been here before. I'm a bit limited with food choices at the moment and we had a dog with us. It was our wedding anniversary and I love to sit in a cafe, trying to find something that I could eat and we could take a dog in had proved hard. We saw this cafe and thought it was right down our street. My husband went and ordered our food, I had picked the only thing I could eat on the menu. My husband sat down and we had got settled, then I had one of the staff tell me I didn't have the filling for my jacket, as I mentioned I didn't really have an option so just said I'd have a plain jacket. It was frustrating but not the end of the world. My husbands order came and it wasn't what he had actually asked for. I had given him my crisps and coleslaw from my plate as I couldn't eat either of those but he had to sit and wait for his food and watch me eat. I know that this isn't the kind of this that would probably happen, it just happened to be when it was our anniversary and had kind of ruined the day. Other wise the staff were nice and the food that we had was lovely and the atmosphere was really cosy. Just an honest review of the time we were there for. We will be back and hopefully a better experience next time.

A bit of a tight fit in places but that adds to the Victorian town house feel. Lovely food, some of the best coffee in Whitby, incredibly friendly service. Went there 3 times in 1 week! Best for lunch. They also have lodgings and an escape room! Officially the best coffee and walnut cake in Whitby (a one person experiment).

I stumbled upon this little cafe and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the lemon meringue and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The cake was moist and had just the right amount of sweetness, and the frosting was heavenly. The atmosphere of the cafe was also really cute and cozy, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by this cafe for a sweet treat and a cozy ambiance.
