Beautiful little bistro esc dining space in the heart of Guisborough.The service was quick, polite and all round pleasant. A very laid back atmosphere and the desserts here I can say are magnificent as well as the milkshakes ? 100% worth a visit if you are in Guisborough and very student friendly as well unlike some establishments.

Needed a nice cafe to kill some time after taking my daughter to the dentist. A local recommended here. Perhaps the decor needs a little refresh, but it didn’t matter, the welcome was warm, the food lovely and we really enjoyed our quick stay. Thank you. We’ll return for sure - the warm, freshly baked scone was very delicious ?

Shocking is all can say!!! Only wanted drinks but the waiter said if you want quick food the tapas would be the option for us. Took our drinks order then walked off. 35min later with our drinks he took our order after we told him what we wanted. Then we sat there for another 45min for potatoe skins and a so called bruschetta that looked more like a pizza from a microwave meal. Understand if they where busy, but with only 4 other people in the cafe. They where more bothered about there phones been on charge!

Popped in for a Full Breakfast this morning. Excellent service from both Andrew and his staff. Good quality produce and great coffee. Happy to support local business in Guisborough.

After reading a one star review claiming the breakfast was abysmal I had to admit I was apprehensive as I took my seat by the window. But, as I took in the old timey atmosphere and perused the Cats Whiskers menu that anxiety quickly dissipated into eager excitement looking forward to the meal that awaited me. I ordered the Whiskers Full English Breakfast, accompanied by some tea (we're in Yorkshire so anything else would be blasphemy) and a bottle of coca-cola. The meal arrived quickly and with a smile. The plate of food consisted of 2 fresh farm eggs, 2 rashers of English bacon, 2 mashams sausages, half a tomato, a doreens black pudding, hash brown, beans and a slice of white toast. A hearty meal indeed. I tackled my eggs first, breaking my slice of toast in half with a satisfying crunch. With the toast I attacked the yolk, they were perfectly runny and golden. The taste was perfect. The tomato could have perhaps done with a little more grilling and the bacon wasn't as crispy as I would like but giving it was English bacon and not the thin streaky rashers I buy myself this can be excused. The standout part of the meal was the delicious sausages. I don't know what differentiates a marshams sausage from any other, but I know the taste was impeccable and they had a satisfying bite. Perfect to mop up the rest of my runny eggs. All in all the Cat's Whiskers offers an outstanding breakfast service that I can't help but recommend.

Lovely food. Very tasty. Fair prices. I have been twice. The first time we left as nobody came to serve us drinks after 10 minutes or so, the second time more recently was on a quiet time of the day. Lovely brunch. Had a bit of a laugh with the staff.Also pinched a lovely sweetie from the counter. (these are likely served to guests with the bill I typically suspect.)Clean toilets.A little limited for wheelchair access as entrance is up a step and a little tight inside but I'm sure it could be accommodated for if asked.Looking forward to next breakfast /lunch.The chicken salad was lovely - the dressing was very nice.

Terrible terrible breakfast. Meat tasted like it had been microwaved. Black pudding advertised as Doreen's which it wasn't. Cheapest white sliced bread. Service apathetic. Truly disappointed. We paid in advance unfortunately but left most of our breakfast. Not even worth half the price.
