Decided to try Starlings Locale on Saturday morning after Google searching for breakfast spots.
What a hidden little gem this place is.
Off down a little residential side street its hidden away.
Went inside to be greeted by a very friendly and welcoming Walter and offered a table.
Decor is simple yet comfortable.
I started with a cappuccino, ..... very nice, great coffee.
All served in Le Creuset cups and saucers.
Cutlery was all super clean, something I am in the habit of checking.
The menu was presented with not a huge choice, it included healthy offerings and more, but more than enough to whet most appetites.
I ordered the poached eggs with extra mushrooms and bacon 🥓.
My breakfast arrived shortly after and looked amazing, 5 rashers of bacon and a volumous amount of mushrooms, with 2 perfectly poached eggs and two slices of sourdough bread.
The bacon was top notch, (and I had heard others comment on this as I was eating), the mushrooms very tasty and as I said great medium poached eggs.
There was enough bacon and mushrooms to cover the second slice of bread.
I ordered a second cappucino as the first just wasn't enough to quench my coffee thirst !
Great service from Walter, amazing coffee from Fabrice.." the coffee Maestro " and not forgetting Happiness and Lusanda making magic in the kitchen. Thank you guys, nice to meet you all
This unassuming place is well worth a visit, well priced and away from the hustle and bustle.
A great spot for a meeting with coffee and good food.
I rate this 8 out of 10 and will definately be back.
Just a note, parking is limited and the local traffic constabulary are on the hunt. I stupidly parked on a yellow line, thinking it was Saturday and would be ok..... It cost me R 500 extra 😒
Besides that it was a great morning.
The food is always consistently good. An easy decision to make when you aren't sure where to get breakfast or lunch. The staff is super friendly and quick to help.
Waiters were super friendly
Food was really good and fresh
Drinks were amazing I would recommend the ice coffee
Parking was a mission but it still was amazing walking in the streets
I would recommend anyone here it’s lovely atmosphere
Wi-Fi is available
Good working environment
