I decided to hunt this one down as it’s a bit hidden, but well worth it! Its a large light airy cafe with funky bar tables with wall seating on the outside. Very friendly and attentive staff also. I also tried the eggs benny, mostly to see what the cornmeal waffle it comes on was like! The overall presentation was lovely, and the beef tasted nice, but when eaten altogether the flavour was fairly bland. The waffle seemed deep fried also.

I was also sitting near the pass so could see the meals as they went out, they all looked good and fairly generous. Both my coffee and meal took quite a while to come out. So maybe consider that this is one for a leisurely catch up! At Stanley’s we like to offer a dining experience to suit you, whether you’re after an early morning breakfast, relaxing brunch, long lunch or afternoon tea we can cater for all.
