Stars Cafe 17 Grand Avenue, Shelter Island Heights, NY 11965

"Small business or not there are standards that all businesses should uphold. First is customer service. The cashier was not welcoming at all. No smile even when I tried to make a joke to lighten up the mood. You are the face for the business. You are the person who makes the first impression for new comers like me. Remember that. The food portions were decent for the price but the food was so bland. I’m not sure if they used salt at all. I will not be returning."

"This is a hidden gem. Fantastic homey atmosphere with large selection and THE BEST coffee I've ever had! We had a great table in the front window. Staff is very friendly as were all of the customers and dogs lol"

"Lets start with the positives. The Cuban sandwich is good + you will wait for it. The girl who works at the counter has a lovely personality. + The music is really good most of the time. + Now the rest of the story. You would do better to have a salad at McDonald's. At the very least you would save $17. Their salad dressings seem flat + the guy who took my order had no idea what the options for that were... + The fried flounder on the fish tacos is lesser quality than what one would buy at a supermarket when getting fish sticks. Add to that, an interior that's nearly swarming with flies + air conditioning that rivals the 89° temperature you would endure sitting outdoors under their umbrella tables. The lemonade is mediocre,,there seems to be zero knowledge of how to brew an iced tea + no variations of iced drinks can be managed outside of what can just be poured from bottles. For what it will cost you, it makes better sense to walk down to the ferry landing + jump over to Anker in Greenport or plan all your meals when on Shelter Island at Maria's Kitchen instead. If there is absolutely NOTHING else available, then stars cafe. But its worth it to go elsewhere..."

"Gorgeous cafe run by the most delightful couple. Beautiful coffee, fresh baked goods, my favourite breakfast menu ever, divine jams and preserves and a fabulous, cosy community atmosphere. This is a must-stop for anyone visiting Shelter Island, and a daily visit for locals!"

"Sweet neighbourhood place. Delicious Mexican breakfast choices. I had the chilaquiles, very good, and a really tasty and generous sized iced coffee. Bought some fabulous muffins to take home afterwards, all six flavours well baked, sweet treats. Only knocking a star off for plastic cutlery, glasses etc. as I appreciate places that think about sustainability."
