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.

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!

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.

Been coming here 3 – 6 times a week the past few months. As previously mentioned in some other reviews, the music is on the louder side, but once you walk into Star Lounge you understand that’s the vibe. The music always hits, too. As someone studying for graduate school, it’s actually been great to have in the background. The staff is 10/10 every.single.time. Seriously. Kindest folks to have at the espresso bar. The coffee also never misses!! Support local and come by; sit upstairs if downstairs is full and lounge for a bit.

A good place to grab a coffee and sit down for work or just chat.

I love coffee and chocolate, and they have many mocha options. I love the coffee, the art, the music, the spaces and that it’s open until 9pm. I come here and work for hours. It’s an inspiring place to be at and perfect in every sense.

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!

It was an okay coffee shop. It’s better to grab a cup and go because seating is a bit challenging with everyone in laptops taking up tables. The service was okay, not particularly friendly and not particularly annoyed, more in between but nothing too bad. I drive by daily and I finally went in to try it.

The coffee is not that strong, but I guess it’s their signature. I ordered a large mocha, overall taste is good. The shop has a good vibe, decoration, and stunning art painting. A lot of outdoor and indoor seats. Not sure if they have free wifi.
