The People’s Kitchen is our amazing food froject at Flowergate Hall Community Arts Centre – and we have had a bit of a chat with our regulars and our brilliant Culture Council and they have suggested a new name for us to use fror our Cafe space.
Welcome to Café Joy – a space full of warmth, colour, and community.
Everyone feels better after a cup of joy.
Tucked inside the heart of Flowergate Hall, Café Joy is a vibrant, welcoming café where people come to eat, connect, and feel good. Whether you’re here for a strong cup of coffee, a homemade lunch, or just a quiet moment in a leafy corner, you’re always welcome at the table.
We believe in food that’s made with care, served with kindness, and shared in good company.
Local. Original. Vegetarian. Everything.

🌿 Our Values
Café Joy is more than just a café — it’s a celebration of the small, good things. Shared meals. Friendly chats. Sunlight through the windows. A playlist you forgot you loved. We’re proud to be part of Whitby’s creative, caring community, and to offer a space that’s open to all.
We also run a Pay It Forward scheme — if you’re able to buy an extra drink or meal for someone else, just let us know. And if you’re having a tough week, take what you need. No questions. No fuss.
