Stardust Coffee
Stardust is magical. Yes StarDUST, not Starbucks. The setting they provide is unmatched and there's soooo many good reasons to come here! *cues never ending lists of things Stardust is good for* You can drink coffee, you can drink booze, you can be trendy, you can be hipster, you can read a book, you can catch up with friends, you can get online, you can play board games, you can be your authentic self and that’s why I absolutely love it here.
They have a vegan menu, pastries, coffee, alcoholic beverages of every kind and a pretty good playlist on most days. (Well, “pretty good” depending on what genre you prefer. I enjoy most genres so you may have a different opinion about the music selection.)
Here you’ll also find bookshelves filled with books you’re able to purchase, board games you can play with friends, and DVDs. Considering it is called Stardust Video & Coffee, DVDs make sense although they're becoming obsolete. They also have a Photo Booth that’s worth visiting while you’re here, but if you aren’t paying attention you’ll miss it. Make sure you read the directions first because using this booth isn’t exactly what you’d expect and confused me for the first 30 secs of being inside of it. It’s like the Polaroid of photo booths since it’s an older model that still gets the job done and provides you with an unforgettable moment.
This place is an experience. Usually I just recommend places, but I’m gonna insist that you go to Stardust at least once. You need this place in your life. The atmosphere won’t appeal to everyone, which is fine, but if you value peaceful, productive spaces, you’ll enjoy Stardust.
Price: The coffee is priced reasonably and the food prices may be $1-3 more than you’d like to pay, however the taste of the food can easily make you forget about how much you’ve spent.
Decor: This is what stole my heart honestly. The first time I saw it, it felt like I had found a missing puzzle piece. Okay maybe that was dramatic BUT it’s perfect. Yes, i’m going to say perfect. The walls are covered with a million things and somehow everything is still in the right place. In fact, when I think about the decor, I think about my life. A million things are happening, but everything is exactly where it’s supposed to be.
Occasion: There’s so many to name. If you need a quiet space to work on an assignment, if you had a long day at work and want to unwind, if you want to have a nice lunch date, you want to declutter your mind in a positive environment, you just want to be around people who are also working on their computers & appear to be productive, or you want a space that feels safe then pleaseeee come here!
Dress Code: Come as you are, dress code isn’t a huge deal here. It’s literally just a coffee shop.
P.S. Keep in mind that they host really awesome events here so, this could impact your night if you’re going to work on any projects.
