Oh my goodness! This cafe’ was absolutely amazing, from the atmosphere, food, and to the service- 5 stars all the way! I took my little sister here for lunch on Sunday and we had such a fabulous time. Starnut Gourmet had a laid back, fun, family oriented, and was calming environment to be in. The food was fresh and delicious- you can tell it was made with live. The service was friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this place to come anytime!

I’ve been here 3xs now and loved it. The atmosphere is pleasant in a pastel, cafe, comfy-chair way. There aren’t a ton of tables (unless the weather is good though for outside) but we’ve always managed to find one. My favorite menu items are crepes (2 come with each order and you can mix/match them) and the amaretto latte. They have a small case of pastries (Mediterranean style) and a small case of ice cream which we haven’t tried. It’s the perfect place to meet a friend for brunch.

Wow! Not many places impress me. 12 plus years in the restaurant business can do that to a person. I can see through most chain restaurants gimmicks. I base a place on 3 things. Atmosphere, quality of product and quality of service. Happy to say Starnut Gourmet delivers on All Three! Absolutely amazing food and the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The owner, Samira, was so nice and always seemed to be smiling. The staff, was able to accommodate my disability by delivering the food to my table. They asked if I needed else and made sure I was enjoying everything. This place is perfect for a breakfast or lunch date. A great place to impress someone. Pro tip: get the Pistachio Latte! The sandwich was so good, I bit my tongue

By far The BEST spot in town for great coffee and AMAZING breakfast/brunch options. We ordered the Halloumi panini and IT IS A MUST TRY if you eat dairy. The Nutella strawberry crepe is perfect ratio of Nutella to strawberries ... Pure joy. The fruit cheesecake is OUT OF THIS WORLD! It's one of the best cheesecakes I have ever tried! STAR NUT is a hidden gem in town :)

Excellent service. I ordered the Mexican Mayan and a strawberry jam crepe. My crepe had more jam then I usually like, but it was still good. The Mexican Mayan was delicious. My grandmother has been a frequent customer of StarNut for quite some time. She was the one who recommended I visit. The staff and owners have always treated her and her late husband with the utmost respect. They have consistently shown incredible kindness toward my grandmother. Thank you StarNut for the great meal and kind atmosphere.

I recently visited this cafe, and it left a lasting impression. The view, with its peaceful fountain, provided a pleasant backdrop for my visit. The cafe's ambiance was inviting, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The coffee and dessert I ordered were delightful, and the lunch options were equally impressive. Overall, it's a cafe I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice spot with good coffee, desserts, and lunch choices. Truly a hidden gem .

Popped in for a quick coffee before my work event. The head gentleman was very complimentary and welcoming. Got a pistachio latte and it was divine. They gave me a little elephant ear pastry since it was my first time. Had a young kid come in with a guitar for some love music and I caught them right at the switch over from coffee hours to wine hours. Such a great cafe!!

Enjoyed the relaxed vibe and delicious food. Everything was wonderful, warm and welcoming. The Gelato looked amazing - we must return another day to try! They serve crepes on the weekend, and they even had gluten-free options. Very impressed, and can't wait to come back. They do have a cute little cafe dog that was content just sitting quietly and enjoying people's company, but heads up if you are adverse to that sort of thing.
