Stand By Me is a cozy cafe that, despite some ups and downs, offers a unique breakfast experience worth a try. The coffee is a standout, earning a big YES from fans. While some menu items may miss the mark, others like the French toast receive high praise. The cafe is not afraid to innovate with their dishes, sometimes with great success, and offers a good selection of slices and cakes. The friendly staff and dog-friendly atmosphere add to the overall appeal. With a focus on quality and customer satisfaction, Stand By Me continues to be a go-to spot for weekend relaxation and delicious breakfast options.
