Cobbles — Restaurant in England

Beautiful village, let down by this cafe.

Staithes is a picturesque fishing village which obviously attracts a lot of tourists and not a lot of locals due to the size of the place.

What you tend to find with places like this is that they either have some well-renowned eating establishments that attract people from far and wide, or they have unremarkable ones that don’t try as they are just getting the passing trade.

Brilliant little cafe where we waited for our taxi after walking down to the harbour. Staff were friendly and the hot chocolate varieties fun. Downstairs and outside are street style tables but upstairs is a very welcoming lounge. Stairs are steep, but once you've tackled them the toilet has space if you're managing with crutches as one of us was. This is also a place you can pick up doggie snacks and assorted human...
