Crema's Take
“This family-owned Ann Arbor gem has earned its stellar reputation as the go-to spot for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, where regulars return for consistently exceptional shawarma, hummus, and housemade chai prepared fresh right before your eyes. The team remembers your name and your usual order, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for lingering conversations with friends or bringing the whole family. Fair prices, generous portions, and that rare combination of care and authenticity make Star's Cafe worth any wait—locals have been coming back for years because the food and hospitality simply can't be found elsewhere in the area.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.
