What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Dark Matter Coffee’s Star Lounge Coffee Bar offers a one-of-a-kind café experience with its bold, artistic, and eclectic atmosphere. The space has a creative energy that makes it an interesting place to relax, work, or meet up with friends. The coffee is high-quality, rich, and flavorful, with a variety of unique blends and specialty drinks that showcase their passion for craft coffee. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, always happy to make recommendations. The lounge can get busy and a bit noisy during peak hours, which may not suit those looking for a quiet setting, but the overall vibe, quality drinks, and memorable atmosphere make it well worth a visit."
"I’ve been coming here since 2011. It’s evolved over time, like everything else, but it’s remained a place where you can comfortably sit solo for hours or bring people to hang out. There are also plenty of seating options inside and outside. Staff are friendly. The coffee is fine (local Dark Matter Roasters), and they have some options for food and sweets. It opens at 6, so it’s a great first stop when coming to the city for the day."
"Very nice coffee shop with plenty of cozy areas to work or visit in. There is a pool table upstairs. There is a nice patio area out back. Zany rocket theme on walls. Now, about the coffee. Dark Matter is a great local roaster and the baristas in the Star Lounge know what they are doing and make really great drinks. Try the bourbon barrel aged mocha for a change of pace!"
"Very good coffee and nice lounge, relaxed atmosphere and quite big patio with murals themed as Alice in wonderland. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere, lots of people working on their laptops. And of course great coffee!"
