Delicious food. I had the chicken gyro. I should have tried the hummus and took it home for later. I will be back! Very friendly and great atmosphere!

Awesome food, and a even better mission. They work with at risk individuals teaching them the restaurant business, and after all that training they assist in finding those individuals jobs at other restaurants in the area. They do not put a price on their food and ask only for a donation that you think the meal is worth.

Always the absolute best, Food is fabulous and Fresh, Owner/ Operator Di is a ray of Sunshine, it's a "feel good" atmosphere. I have traveled to near all 50 states and have dined a many more, this is by far the best and my favorite establishment of them all. Might I add she's operating also a nonprofit school...come in smile, dine and learn.
In for mouth watering treat..

Great place with a great cause. We shared wonderful vegetable lasagna and local seafood appetizers. Everything was "pay what you think it's worth" and it was worth way more then what we donated. The benefits of a place like this are behind what we could see first hand.

Such a wonderful experience eating here. Enthusiastic staff who help provide a warming and welcoming atmosphere. The food is incredible. Plus, the cafe is a non profit and you pay by donation what you think your food was worth.

BEST (Naturally) GLUTEN-FREE DESSERT EVER!!! OMG...still dreaming about it. The owner, Di Fillhart, is fabulous: She was also my waitress. The concept is heart-warming with pay what you want to eat delicious food in a fun, light-hearted environment served by a warm, loving owner ... to support the mission of: "To make a difference one by one in lives recovering from hardships of life; to provide experiential education in life with skills preparing them for success." Also has own garden out front to grow fresh food and decrease costs. Bay St. Louis is a sweet, quaint town too. I could only spare a few hours, as I was driving through, but I will definitely return to the city for a mini getaway...and frequent Starfish Cafe for each meal they are open. Thank you for making the world a better place in so many ways!!!
