This is a nice hole in the wall place that offers a variety of cafe style menu items. It has a cute terrace styled outside seating as well as the inside which is filled with beautiful decorations. I only sat outside with my partner and we came here for an early breakfast on bank holiday weekend, we were lucky to be seated as it got quite busy. I ordered the spice chai latte and scrambled eggs and it was one of the most delicious and filling breakfasts I’ve ever had. I sound like a cliche but it really did set me up for the rest of the day! The spiced chai latte is really smooth and hits the spot. As for the scrambled eggs they must have made them 1000 times before getting them this perfect. I’ve never had eggs made that outstanding before. I highly recommend this place for a breakfast to tackle the other activities at Whitby!

I recently visited Rusty Shears in Whitby and was thoroughly impressed. The establishment offers cosy outdoor seating in a charming courtyard, as well as indoor tables spread across several rooms. The interior of the restaurant is striking with its vintage atmosphere. The building, crockery, and decor all contribute to a sense of stepping back in time. You can truly feel the history in the air, which adds a unique charm to the place. The service at Rusty Shears is excellent. The staff are polite, attentive, and work very efficiently, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Rusty Shears is a fantastic spot for those who appreciate a historic ambiance and top-notch service. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Whitby!

Quirky little cafe at the top of the hill off a side street with a lovely little courtyard that takes you through to a eclectic, homely cafe selling breakfasts and lunch time dishes. A couple of vegetarian items on the main menu plus a lovely Rustys veggie snack on the specials board, which is; a couple of potato cakes topped with wild mushrooms & poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, tomato and dried onion. All very nice but the service was slow and we had to ask for them to take our orders as I think they'd forgotten us and the dried onion was too hard for me, it felt like I was eating twigs. Apart from that, it's worth making the treck to find it.

Check out somewhere nice for breakfast.

This place came out on top, so many excellent reviews.

I'm adding mine to the many.

Fabulous breakfast of scrambled eggs (fresh as), smoked bacon (smoked in local smoke house), mushrooms (nicest I've ever tasted) and grilled halloumi (yummy). Altogether delicious with my pot of English tea in pretty china. Good portion sizes.

My husband had his favourite, eggs benedict. Cooked to perfection. He gave it 10 out of 10

The social distancing measures in place were excellent.

The staff were delightful. And service was spot on.

It caters for special diets. Glutton free, vegan etc. I eat very low carb and got very excited to see so much on the menu that would suit me. The meat platter sounded delicious but we will just have to make a return visit!

It has such a pretty courtyard. Unfortunately the weather wasn't warm enough for us to sit out. Inside there are 3 rooms and it feels spacious. Nice atmosphere too.

The cakes did look delicious. As did the selection of gins!

Highly...

Beautiful little cafe with a nice selection of food and drink, along with a wine and gin menu too! The decor is quirky and is nice to look at whilst enjoying your food and drink. Staff advised us on which table to sit at for the 6 of us. Our order was taken quickly and also came out to us quickly. The cheese scones were very nice and were even served warm. Unfortunately, my grandmother had a fall whilst we were visiting. There was a step down right as you come out of the cubicle in the toilets, which caused her to lose her balance. She fell and injured her knee and cut her head. Not the cafe’s fault of course, but the staff were very nice about it and apologised. They got my grandmother a chair and a first aid kit which was great. Perhaps another sign on the inside of the cubicle door to remind you of the step when you come out? Overall we really enjoyed our visit and all members of staff were lovely, especially after my Grandmother’s accident. We shall be visiting again when we’re...

I love Rusty Shears! It's a firm favourite whenever in whitby and never disappoints. We got married in whitby, not long ago and had our very informal reception at the Rusty Shears. We had the back room to ourselves, owner and staff were great. Really attentive and made the experience special. We had a range of sharing platters and they are excellent value. Really good quality produce and plenty to share. Rusty's home made raspberry gin is amazing. Tastes just like fresh raspberries. The decor and ambience makes this place delightful whether it's a special occasion or just popping in for a coffee and amazing slice of cake. It's quirky and relaxed and the outdoor courtyard is like sitting in the Mediterranean, on a sunny day! Extensive range of unusual gins, and staff are very knowledgeable about drinking gin and happy to offer advice. A must when...
