The By & By

This is an incredibly cute coffee shop with so much character and very friendly staff. I recommend everyone check this place out if not for the incredible bagels, then for the nice atmosphere of the cafe. I’m not a coffee person but wish I was because it smelled incredible. Again, I highly recommend checking this place out while in town for a quick coffee, tea, pastry, or bagel!

Such a great little coffee shop! I love the patio out back. Simple menu with tasty options, good coffee, and friendly staff. Great place to come and study or just to meet up with friends for a little treat.

While there can be long waits, that’s only because they’re popular and you’re getting fresh, good food and really good coffee and tea! I get chai lattes at coffee shops 99% of the time and this place is in my top 3. They also have some beers that you don’t usually find in Staunton, and I have friends who come here for lunch for that sole reason.

Cute little place, but oddly laid out. They provide outdoor patio seating that sits below street level resulting in a quiet, relaxing ambience. Everyone enjoyed their food. Simple menu of sandwiches, some made with bagels and soup. I think we would all be happy to eat there again.

We come here nearly every weekend because it’s the best coffee shop/light breakfast or lunch spot in all of Staunton. The coffee is delicious, the food (baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, and lunch sandwiches) are all so good too. On Sunday afternoons there’s live acoustic music as well, and never too loud. The staff are always friendly and polite. My only tip is get in early or call ahead if you don’t want to wait awhile for food. It’s worth the wait and we never mind, but since it’s a small staff in a popular place, it can take awhile during peak hours.

Very friendly, relaxing atmosphere-LOVE the coffee!!
Enjoyed an egg and bacon sesame bagel. So much better than your typical fast-food chain breakfast sandwich. You can taste the quality!
The location of this coffee shop is so convenient, right across from a parking lot in charming downtown Staunton.
Would definitely recommend to start your stroll through the city with a coffee from the By & By

Really enjoyed coffee on the patio here. Was a little disappointed that my sandwich was made with the heel. It was very hard and I had to eat it open face instead.

Amazing breakfast sandwich! Warm, fresh and filling ❤️

Last week ordered a bagel and coffee, then came to pick it up but added a few more items for my kids.
I left with what I thought was my order.

They had missed the bagel. No problem, so I called and they said come back any day for the bagel. I was too far when I realized.

Today went to order more coffee and redeem a bagel that was paid for and forgotten.

I was treated like I was lieing and trying to get a free bagel. SMH. I left because of the interrogation and the disbelief. You WAISTED my mornings twice.

I won't be back! 🤯

P.s. and the owner was just standing there.

You guys get a lot of people who try to scam for free bagels I guess.

A pleasant spin on the coffee shop attitude. With a broad selection of beer and wine to appeal to modern customers and and decor that speaks of an earlier time, this is one of the finest coffee shops in Staunton. Where you can sit in a church pew and not face judgement for anything and where you can own your opponent in checkers, I encourage you to stop by. Enjoy!
