This little gem is deservedly popular and well-regarded for an excellent breakfast, a light lunch, a sweet treat or just a quick coffee. Had a family breakfast there this past weekend and couldn't have been happier with the service. Every single staff member smiled and greeted us as we walked in. The ambience was unrushed, pleasant and natural with all the foliage surrounding the tables outside. The baristas do a brilliant job with the drinks and the kitchen serves fresh, seasonal and interesting breakfasts. We (and the rest of Cape Town) will always be back.

What a lovely cafe. Beautiful setting, delicious food and fantastic ambiance. Definitely my new favourite breakfast spot.

Best breakfast I've had in a while, and the most beautiful setting. Attention to detail is outstanding. Service is warm, especially Michele, who made me feel comfy and at home.

I agree with other comments. I always make a plan to visit Starlings when I am in CT. It does not happen a lot, but it has always been a great experience. Best place in CT. In fact - Jozie can learn a thing or 3. Well done and thank you.

I love everything about Starlings. It really is my favourite coffee and food spot in Cape Town. If you have not yet been there = make a plan! :)

The best cafe in Cape Town! Quality food, great service, passionate owner-manager and warm ambience. Will be back with friends.
