Fantastic café. The food is amazing (quick arrival to the table) and the staff is super friendly. Can’t wait to go back for breakfast

The Bystanders cafe offers a cozy and clean atmosphere, with friendly staff and quick service. While some menu items may not meet expectations in terms of portion sizes or overall quality, the cafe's breakfast options are praised for their taste and presentation. Customers recommend this spot for a casual meal with friends before heading out for a long journey. There have been some minor inconsistencies with opening times, but overall, The Bystanders is considered a worthwhile stop for those looking for a welcoming environment close to transportation options.
