We went to The Tiffin on a dreary wet January weekend, totally washed out, and were impressed with the service. The food is cooked to order so it was very hot, and the bacon was lightly done as I'd asked. I hope business picks up for the place as they seem a friendly bunch & the food was excellent. Reasonably priced too.

Good food, fresh and tasty. Very cheap. A bit chilly inside, keep your jacket on Nice personel, fast service. I do recommend it for breakfast and coffee.

My wife and I were in Whitby yesterday and paid a visit. I have to say that the service and food were excellent, but the real surprise was the price. Having declined to pay 5 for a portion of mushy peas, at a restaurant around the corner, we feared the worst, but needed something to eat / drink. Came across this place and would recommend to anyone. Great value for money and prices that haven't skyrocketed.

Excellent local cafe. Home cooked delicious food and good value portions. Good food for all the family. We’re a family of five and we love it here. Always try and find an excuse to grab a chip butty in here. Clean and well kept. Recommended spot. A rough diamond and well worth it. Hipster-free zone!

Good sized portions of fish and chips, was able to get a take out box for leftovers which was good. Didn't take too long for food to appear. Noticed they have some gluten free cake options which is good! Very enjoyable
