About North Star Coffee Shop (Great George St)

The drinks menu includes an oat cortado, and coffee also comes in an XL size for a longer stretch between stops. Cinnamon buns and other pastries are served with the coffee.

Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the main draw, including a fantastic oat cortado, with friendly, lovely staff close behind and the bakery also praised. The café is described as bright, colorful and very clean. Reviewers note limited, uncomfortable seating and an XL coffee that did not seem extra large. One calls the paper cups and cardboard boxes an environmental negative, and another found a cinnamon bun fine but expensive.

“Really nice coffee shop, friendly staff and amazing bakery. It does have limited seating so more of a coffee pit stop than a full on sit down brunch spot but top marks for me.”
