Starving Artist Cafe Reviews
This is a 5 star place. We come here every other Sunday for breakfast. Staff is outstanding and so is the food. Gotten to know the staff and the owners quite well that we feel like family. Love this place.❤️❤️❤️
Highly recommend this cafe especially for those gluten free. Waffle was SUPERB! GF cupcake was yummy and the hot chocolate blew me away. Extremely kind staff and a pleasure to dine with. Will return!
Great place - tried it out for Saturday brunch. No wait at all and the kitchen had our food out quickly. Definitely recommend the Starving Artist Burrito. And one of the few places I've seen that do local art on their walls right.

The Starving Artist Cafe is a small but excellent spot that fills up quickly, making it a must-visit destination. The breakfast plate is an ample and delicious offering, and the orange preserve is a standout, with a slightly spicy flavor. The cafe is also kid-friendly, with the waitstaff engaging the young diners and accommodating their needs.
The cafe is flexible with dietary preferences, offering a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, including a good amount of vegan choices that have made it a popular spot for those seeking plant-based meals. Customers have praised the exceptional food, particularly the best-in-the-world tuna sandwich, the yummy vegan Italian dish, and the amazing Monte Cristo. The banana mocha, which contains alcohol, has also received positive remarks. The cafe is veteran-owned and family-owned, and the local community strongly supports it. Customers feel like family and enjoy the nice and quiet atmosphere, along with the outstanding staff.
However, some customers have experienced issues with the accuracy of the pricing displayed, leading to frustration when the actual cost did not match the advertised price. The cafe's management should ensure that the information provided to customers is accurate and that any discrepancies are promptly addressed. Additionally, gluten-free options are available, with dishes prepared in a separate area to minimize cross-contamination, which has been appreciated by customers.
