Star cafe

You'll find Star Café tucked away on Mansfield Road in Carrington, the kind of place that doesn't need Instagram to pack out at 8am. It's got that lived-in comfort of a café that's been doing the same thing for years and doing it well—the sort of spot where the staff remember your order and the couple on the next table are reading the same newspaper they were yesterday. Walk in and you're met with the smell of proper fry-ups, fresh coffee, and that specific warmth of a room full of people who actually want to be there. Whether you're after eggs, beans, toast, or just a decent cup to start the day, this is neighbourhood hospitality at its most straightforward.
