The quest for great coffee takes me to various restaurants and coffee shops around Cape Town. Starlings Cafe is one of the places I have recently been too. We have visited Starlings Cafe a few times and have never been disappointed. The test of a great coffee shop or restaurant is being able to go there over and over with out getting bad service or food! (well at least that’s what I think) If a place can consistently deliver – (quality and service) then that is the goal of a fine establishment.
Starlings is no exception- it is a quirky and cute, Cape Town hangout / coffee shop with friendly staff, and great food. The menu isn’t huge so what they do they do well!
The coffee is from Origin so its consistent and delicious.
Finding Starlings can be a bit interesting the first time you go there as it is a house in a residential area which makes you think that it’s well a … house. So driving up and down and eventually finding it is a quest on its own. However, once you realise this then it’s fun to think that you are in on a secret that no body knows about! Then again – the place buzzes with people, so clearly I wasn’t the only one who knew about this secret coffee shop house (sigh).
Seating: The house has tables inside and outside. There is a lovely back garden which feels lush and green with umbrellas and trees.
I hope you enjoy the place as much as I do. Let me know what you think.
