About Star cafe
Star cafe sits on Mansfield Rd in Nottingham as a walk-in cafe with no reservations needed, open daily through the daytime. Breakfast covers most of the menu, with a full English of eggs, sausages, bacon, hash browns, beans, mushrooms, and grilled tomato, plus a small English option and an American breakfast for those wanting something lighter or different. Barista coffee is made throughout the day, and the pistachio latte sits alongside the standard drinks list. Outdoor seating extends the space for those who want to eat outside, and dogs are welcome, so visitors with pets can settle in without trouble. Orders are taken at the counter rather than through table reservations. The cafe keeps to daytime hours only, closing before evening each day.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what reviewers return for, above all the full English and the small English breakfast. They describe runny-yolked eggs, juicy sausages, crispy bacon, and hash browns crunchy outside and soft inside, with toast that arrives fresh. The word repeated most is that it is not greasy, and several call the portions generous and the price reasonable. Close behind is the welcome: reviewers repeatedly call the staff and owner friendly and welcoming, and one autistic reviewer says they feel comfortable there. Drinks get a mention too, including a pistachio latte and coffee described as barista quality, along with fresh drinks. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as quiet, calm and home-like. No complaints appear in the reviews. One returning reviewer says that on a visit seven months later the standards remained high, with the same warm welcome and lovely food.

“A cosy and nice caffe. Very friendly and very delicious breakfast. Will come again.”
- Rebecca Fofoe
“The food here was absolutely spot on. I ordered a full English breakfast and everything was cooked really well. The eggs were perfectly done with runny yolks, the sausages were juicy with a nice golden finish, and the bacon was crispy without being too dry. The hash browns were crunchy on the outside and soft inside, which is exactly what you want. The beans, mushrooms, and grilled tomato complemented everything nicely, and the toast was fresh and lightly crisped. Portions were generous, so it’s definitely good value for money. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, not greasy or overly heavy. Overall, a really satisfying and well-executed breakfast I’d definitely come back.”
