Stanley’s is Castletown’s newest café-deli, offering a vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired menu in a relaxed, contemporary setting. Located in the heart of the town, this independent café brings together bright, bold flavours and a laid-back approach to brunch, lunch, and drinks—all made with fresh, seasonal ingredients and a distinct sense of flair.
Whether you're stopping in for a coffee, a full breakfast, or a glass of wine and small plates, Stanley’s offers something for every time of day. The café’s interior reflects the menu—sunny, stylish, and subtly Mediterranean—with friendly service and a relaxed pace that invites you to stay a little longer.
Breakfast at Stanley’s is a celebration of both the classic and the creative. You’ll find traditional options like sausage or bacon butties alongside house-made signatures like Stanley’s Big Breakfast, vegan “Righteous Stan’s”, or Mexican-inspired eggs with chorizo and avocado. There’s also a strong focus on inclusive options, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free alternatives well represented across the menu.
As the day moves on, the menu shifts toward seasonal salads, elevated hot sandwiches, and Mediterranean-style lunch dishes. Think fresh seared tuna, grilled chicken with citrus and fennel, or hearty hot sandwiches like the Monte Cristo or Philly Portobello Cheesesteak, each served with thoughtful sides like apple slaw or hand-cut chips. Plant-based and pescatarian diners are equally well catered for, with dishes like the charred aubergine and chickpea salad, or the crispy polenta and maple chilli mushrooms.
Drinks at Stanley’s are more than just an afterthought. The coffee menu includes all the essentials—plus a few unexpected delights like Butterfly Pea Latte, Turmeric Latte, and Stanley’s own Matcha Flat White. Iced drinks, teas, and house specials round out the offering, giving you plenty of ways to refresh. For those staying a little longer, the wine list is carefully curated, featuring Mediterranean and international selections by the glass and bottle—perfect for pairing with a relaxed lunch or early evening snack.
Sweet options, light snacks, and small sharing plates round out the experience, making Stanley’s just as suitable for a quick bite as it is for a long, leisurely brunch. There’s also a rotating soup of the day, homemade hummus with focaccia, and a number of fresh sides and salads to mix and match.
Stanley’s blends the easy charm of a local café with a food-forward focus that feels both exciting and familiar. It’s a spot that welcomes everyone—whether you’re meeting friends for breakfast, grabbing a solo coffee, or enjoying a glass of wine and something warm on a quiet afternoon.
For a modern take on Mediterranean dining in the Isle of Man’s south, Stanley’s offers fresh food, great coffee, and a casual, inviting atmosphere that’s already turning heads in Castletown.
