If I could leave more stars I would. My child was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and we haven’t had the easiest time finding restaurants that have reasonable accommodations. The staff was so patient and kind while I asked our list of questions to ensure they eat safely. Our server even went to the back to receive confirmation from the back of the house on all ingredients. Thankful to have found a Crohn’s friendly restaurant!

North Star is always solid and this location is no exception. Has a good look and a good vibe, with big windows that make people watching fun.

Service was great, everybody who worked there was attentive and nice.

Food was also good. Got the breakfast burrito and the turkey hash.

My favorite thing in North Star - cookies. They are excellent , usually. Chevy, delicious and unique in a way. Today I had the worse cookies ever -did you change the recipe? Hired a new unexperienced baker? I will never come again.
