Star Cafe

Friendly, fresh, healthy, very tasty, reasonable. Glad we happened upon it when we were hungry!

A nice market with fairly low prices for the area. They have great prices on their breakfast, and a nice little area next to it to have your meal outside while over looking lincoln road. What I liked the most about it is that It’s a market that doesn’t feel like you just walked into a gas station.

This place is actually on 15 and alton rd towards end of Lincoln rd. I have had a good desert from there before but after tonight Thursday ⁷⁄₁₈ I will never go back. I walk in w my bf and my 62 yr old mother. Who is visiting as a tourist. There were two full size dogs walking around the store without a leash. Big dogs. I asked the dogs owner who was clearly drunk and drinking liquor in the store while he was joking and chatting w the store clerk. Wtf!!! I asked him why the dogs are not on a leash and if they bite he told me to fk off and the would rip my heart out if I look at them. The store employee laughed so I said I’m leaving I’m w my mom and can’t risk kicking this jerks ass. I told the clerk who was a man how he could allow a drunk man to have dogs in running around a market w food. When we left the drunk came outside and started calling me and my bf fags and more gay sluts. I laughed it off because I would clearly break him in half. It’s just sad that the employee allowed his paying customers to be attacked in such an offensive way. Stay away !!!

I live and work just in a corner (Alton road). For the girls on the morning and in particularité Adriana, i give a 5 stars! Her smile, always a nice word… The best team!
But I had a very bad experience with a very rude and absolutely non polite guys on the evening around 10pm his name something like «zori»… I wanted to buy a piece of bread and I made a joke as usually with everybody (I’m French and I want to buy a fresh French bread… Nothing bad Igbo, because everybody know that «fresh French» people eat bread, right?) and his reaction was very violent, absolutely unpolite and on the top of that… He refused to sell me my bread! Which it was for my dinner… I’m working a lot I’m very tired when the night coming and because of that very awful customer service and rudeness without reason, I won’t eat tonight and don’t want to go again when I ll see him. This is not cool at all because I just arrive here and I was so happy to have that market close to me with nice people on the morning only… Thanks god cvs is not too far… and as he said, you can call my manager I don’t care, you don’t trust me so you can go in hell… and I tried to explain him my joke and the fact there is no reason to feel offense or whatever (I show him my money to show him it was a joke there absolutely no trust question…) he was just worst and worst until he gave me his back with not good words in Spanish (as bitch…)… So I hope the manager cannot accept that and just explain him that be polite or just smile is the key in the business and human being.

I’m not sure about the Wash Ave address-I’m writing about Star Café Market on Alton. I live around the corner and always forget how much I like this spot. Clearly a deli type spot is appealing to a New Yorker. This is the 3^rd or 4^th time I’ve been here-​I like it every time. The store is spotless and my wrap is always delicious and fresh. There are standard deli items as well as some European and South American specialty items. I’m sitting at one of the stools, baby sleeping in the Bjorn just chillin as I watch folks pass by. Relaxing little spot.
