Starks

I just happened to of come across this iconic building once again , looked further then the entrance to the cinema and found this wonderful little gem , very nice cocktail style Cafe, connected to our wonderful Terrace , the chicken wraps were that nice I brought too , one to take home to have later , I have to say the coffee was actually one of the better tasting coffees that will engage my tastebuds for further interaction with the premises , when in the big smoke don't look past . I was impressed . Of course take a freind or two wont you . Thanks starks

Service is superb. Good coffee, calm place to enjoy the busy city corner, i enjoyed their vegan food and the gluten free choco muffin was great too. Free wifi, outside paving seating, classy!

Even as a cocktail lover I find Starks expensive for what it is, and it can be a little tricky navigating through the very narrow bar when it's busy. I'd only recommend going there if you're about to see a show at the Civic, or if it's quieter it's a good spot to sip a cocktail and people watch on Queen Street.

The coffee was good, and they won me over by having a free sparkling water tap, which is something I highly value as I am addicted to sparkling water. While the coffee and service was good, my one complaint was that they advertise free WiFi, however I was unable to connect as their login page required you to provide a mobile phone number and verify that number, and even yet the login page never successfully loaded. I initially came for the free WiFi, which was a let down when it did not work, but I stayed for the warm environment and they won my heart with the FREE public sparkling water dispenser.

Excellent coffee and sitting outside on the pavement seating area, people watching on this busy Queen Street corner is a great place to enjoy it. A great ambiance and great service from a super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

My first piccalo espresso in New Zealand where the milk hadn't been over steamed. Staff were friendly and quick, café was comfy with decent ambience.

Terrible service. No ears. Their cutlery is dirty. Old food was stuck to my fork and the serviette was stuck to that. I ordered a sandwhich and they heated it without asking if I wanted it heated. I also ordered a custart slice. But I got a lemon tart. I recommend not to go here.

Great service & great coffee

Good coffee, open late.

Good coffee and service. It was great to sit outside and relax watching people walk around
