Excellent coffee shop. Coffee properly made and tasted nice. Cakes also freshly baked locally. Someone has invested a good amount of time and money on refurbishment this nice old building. The leather arm chairs are good quality and comfortable . Music system also good. Best place in town to visit for coffee.

Perfect, perfect, perfect! I always love coming to Hopes & Beans - Whitby. The cakes are always so tasty and the coffees are great. The team who work here are always so friendly, efficient and proactive. The atmosphere is relaxed and calming. During the wet winter months it’s a lovely place enjoy a warming coffee whilst enjoying the views of the harbour through the window.

This coffee shop was so good, we visited it twice in one day and I would strongly recommend for a drinks stop if you are visiting Whitby. The coffee shop is in a great central location overlooking the harbour and bridge. It also does a small range of food. We had a friendly welcome and enjoyed some very nice coffee, drinks and a couple of fresh jam scones. This place has a lovely feel, with tasteful seaside contemporary decor, comfy chairs, and even really nice crockery; no trashy mugs here. The upstairs seating is roomy with some great views. Its a great place to chill and is good value.
