starfish cafe & bar

this is the best eatery and coffee in town at the moment, i love my morning cappuccino there and have eaten the chowder (the best in the world in my opinion), the lamb shanks (awesome) husband has had steak (he rated this high) and the chocolate to die for cake. theserviceis excellent. worth the visit :) and to add to this their savory scones are the best around and the shortcakes we tried today were divine we had the raspberry and white chocolate and the apple and blueberry......

brunch @starfish.cafe today and omg did not fail to disappoint as usual.servicewas a 10/10 coffees were perfect and didnt burn my mouth which is always a bonus when your about to eat something this delicious!

i had the mexibowl and i didnt realise it was vegetarian until it came out and my sister told me.... but i didnt miss the mince, just made me feel a bit healthier haha. this was packed full of flavour with heaps of herbs, and a nice big helping of fresh crunchy mixed salad greens and cabbages kale etc on the side. the avo was so fresh and nice and chunky so you know its legit not the shit out of the frozen packet. 10/10 yummmmmm

the others had the salmon omelette which is just a safe delicious choice and never fails to take youbto food heaven. good for those #lowcarb or #glutenfree people. other dish was the smashed avo on paleo toast with smoked salmon and eggs.

not one of us had any complaints or negatives about any of this.... such well priced and top quality food, i'm glad i don't live any closer or i'd be in danger of having a permanent chair in this cute wee cafe 😍🤤🤤

great spot out at st claire’s beach. busy cafe, friendlyserviceand a great atmosphere. good coffee!! we had the starfish stacks for breakfast- definitely would recommend and have this again

been twice for breakfast and food was great andservicewas quick. great location by the water front so all and all a great spot for a coffee and cake.

first time: we had breakfast early. was ok food, coffee ok, daughter liked her smoothie. nice place though we didnt feeel it was that clean on the day we were sitting outside.

second time: we had drinks and nibbles. great service. good price and the food was yum. the decor and relaxed ambience inside and out was very nice.

third time: came with the kids again for drinks and snacks. theservicewas consistent, helpful, attentive, and friendly. everything felt clean, the food was good.

fourth time: came for our first evening meal. again theservicewas excellent, not over bearing but friendly and helpful. asked if our meal was ok berfore we finished them. both of us had the grilled salmon and we both agree it is the nicest and most memorable meal we have had in a long time. beautifully cooked salmon with a delicious range of flavours and textures - was totally yum!

you will regularly find me at starfish cafe sipping on a coconut milk mochaccino.

the place is wonderful, cafe-styled food made with quality ingredients and customerserviceis great. the cafe is strategically placed in from to the beautiful st. claire beach.

recommend this to anyone and everyone who is passing by the greater dunedin area.

great atmosphere!

great evening meal. i had the fillet steak and my daughter the lamb shanks and both were first class.serviceexcellent and cafe lovely and warm on a cold night. we told them we were on a tight time frame and ordered, ate, and were out within 45 minutes. added bonus was we used our entertainment card which made it fantastic value (not that the prices are over the top anyway) recommended.

went to starfish for a hungover breakfast on sunday. as usual the food was amazing and theservicequick and friendly. love this place. well done guys, will always return and recommend other go too

i've only been here for lunch but it is always nice to sit outside in the sun with a beer and one of starfish's delicious burgers. yum yum. theserviceis normally pretty good here too

i eat out at least 2-3 times every week at numerous places due to my job, and i have just taken friends out tonight and had a fantastic meal, the food was great, theservicewas great and location was great, not to mention great value for money. very impressed and will certainly be back!
