Crema's Take

Tucked near downtown Staunton, The By & By has mastered the art of the unhurried morning, where quality breakfast bagel sandwiches and carefully crafted coffee create the kind of cozy, welcoming atmosphere that keeps locals coming back. The space strikes that rare balance between comfortable enough to linger for hours and attentive enough that you never feel rushed, with friendly staff and dog-friendly outdoor seating that makes it feel more like visiting a friend's kitchen than grabbing coffee to-go.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly.

By & By nails the whole “slow morning done right” vibe. The breakfast bagel sandwich was next-level — soft, chewy, perfectly toasted bagel loaded with melty cheese, fluffy egg, and that savory hit of sausage that just makes everything better. Simple, but done with total…
