| - Set just out of the centre of Whitby is Beckett's Coffee Shop, our favourite place in Whitby. On a rain soaked December day we visited twice in one day, once for coffee and then again for lunch. Beckett's has a very relaxed feel, bookcases adorn the walls, containing books you can borrow or buy to wile away the hours, you can even borrow a range of reading spectacles! Becketts is not a big place, it fills up quickly, it clearly has its regulars, its a pity we live so far away, else we would be too. Food dishes are chalked on a board adjacent to the serving counter, that has a myriad of types of tea above it and the most wonderful cakes below it, the lemon cake is unbelievable in both size and taste! The coffee is superb, strong and flavoursome, but I went for something a little more left field to accompany my lunch, a candy floss milkshake! Could have been a disaster, but it wasn't, fantastically refreshing, a bit of a triumph. My wife and I shared a trademark 'Beckanini' for lunch, we went for vegetarian one with pesto, full of flavour. Becketts champions local produce, and the staff are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. All in all, my kind of coffee shop.
