The new Nottinghamshire café where breakfasts are already proving a hit

A new café has opened its doors in Sherwood and is already proving a popular breakfast spot. The Staar Cafe in Sherwood on 499 Mansfield Road has replaced a former barber shop.

With a simplistic interior inside, cafe owner, Ali Jolear who lives in Carlton has spoken out about how business has been since The Staar Cafe opened last month. With sweet treats, hot food, free wifi and a garden space, Mr Jolear said business had been good.

Ali said: “Things have been alright. We have a lot of people coming in for breakfasts and a lot of people coming in for a coffee and to use the free wifi.” This isn’t Ali’s only business.

Hayley Morgan, 32 lives in Sherwood. The nurse said: “I had seen that the Staar Café had opened on Facebook.

“It looks like a good spot, hopefully when people are coming in out of Sherwood on the buses and driving, they’ll notice it because it isn’t located right where all the main shops are but it looks great.”
