I had the pleasure of staying upstairs in the Air B&B above the cafe (wonderful apartment and beautifully furnished). For lunch, I wanted to try Pa's Pimento Cheese Plate that I saw another reviewer develop an unhealthy relationship with. She wasn't kidding! Pa's Pimento Plate and Pa's Pimento Panini (which my husband got) were both delicious. We both like home-made pimento cheese and I have to say this was the BEST that I have had anywhere. The cheese is grated into small pellets that produce a great texture and the flavors are perfect. The plate comes with fresh toasted bread that is wonderful by itself and a perfect pairing to the pimento cheese. You also get a decent portion size that could be shared by two. I was so sad to have to leave behind half a portion since I had a long drive ahead of me and couldn't take leftovers home. Seriously - it was agonizing leaving the leftovers behind it was that good! Staying upstairs, the staff offered to deliver it to us in the apartment which was awesome. I felt like a VIP. There are several menu items that sounded great - but we were only in Savannah for two nights and one lunch-time period. If you are the area, definitely check out Starland Cafe!

It looks like a house on the outside, yet inside it hides a delicious kitchen, like homemade, food. I got a sandwich, and my friends got a tomatoe soup curry, that it was DELICIOUS. You pay a little more that what you normally do for sandwiches but they are delicious and enough to stuff you up. Simple, casual place, southern hospitality, good costumers-family oriented, and enough street parking lots. Enjoy it

I get Starland every time I visit Savannah. SO GOOD! The green goat sandwich with bacon is truly a go to. Beware at peak times it can take a minute to get your food, but it’s worth it!

As out-of-towers, we were recommended this cafe. And when the girl told me what she recommended -- a bowl of tomato soup with a generous wedge of goat cheese inside the soup -- I knew I had to try it. Plus, being fall, it's soup season, though for me it's always soup season. The line was not that long, but it took a long time to order. It seemed there was just one person taking the orders, bringing the food out, and clearing and cleaning the tables. I felt so bad for her, but she was doing an amazing job. So please be patient. The food is worth it. Along with my bowl of soup came quite a terrific helping of cut up delicious warm toasted bread pieces. They were the perfect accompaniment to the soup. Go. You will love it.

The Mediterranean Panini with chips and an Earl Grey Arnold Palmer has been my go-to order here for like 15 years! I think about it when I'm away and always eat here for lunch at least once when visiting Savannah.

My favorite place for lunch in Savannah. They are open 11-3, M-F, so make a point of setting aside the time to visit this cafe set up in a historic home in Starland. Everything is delicious and fresh, and the portions are huge. Don’t miss the CBG, Starzanella Salad, and the Goat Bomb. Whenever I’m at SC, I drink altogether too many Earl Gray ice tea with a lemonade topper. Always friendly & accommodating service too. Starland Cafe has my highest recommendation.

Amazing service! Stopped in here today and was blown away by how welcoming the women working was. I tried the fresh brewed earl grey teas she brews every morning. They did not disappoint. She came out before closing just to give us a heads up we can top off our teas to go before closing which was very thoughtful. Seating areas both inside and out are wonderful and I love how I feel like I'm in a cozy home there. Can't wait to go back and try the food because I hear it's very good.

Tried out Starland Cafe today and I would highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area. The menu selection is excellent and ranges from soups and salads to paninis. The Cuban panini & the Italian sausage kale soup are 10/10. Seating is limited and the wait time was roughly 30-45 minutes, but it was well worth it!
