Name Your Own Prices At This One-Of-A-Kind Mississippi Cafe

Mississippi is no stranger to great, locally owned restaurants. But if you're searching for one of the most unique, you'll have to head to the Starfish Café in Bay St. Louis. Aside from dishing up food that’s fresh, local, and made to order, the quaint café has a "pay what you want" policy." Between the great food and unique concept, it’s easy to see why the Starfish Café is already a local favorite.

Please note, Starfish Café is temporarily closed. 

Hidden in the small beach town of Bay St. Louis, the Starfish Café is bound to be unlike any restaurant you’ve ever visited.

Rather than set prices, the café operates on a "pay what you want" basis. Exactly as it sounds, you pay depending on what you think the food and experience are worth. To make things a bit easier, higher cost items are highlighted on the menu, giving you an idea of how much to donate.

With a "commitment to wellness," the café uses only the freshest ingredients.

In the front lawn, you’ll find a thriving garden full of herbs, veggies, and edible flowers, which are incorporated into recipes for the "fullest of fresh flavors." All other ingredients are sourced from local growers and grocery stores.

Step inside the quaint cafe, and you’ll be met with bright colors, coastal décor, a friendly staff, and...

...the aroma of fresh cooked eats, which includes gluten free breads.

But don't assume the fare will be lacking just because the cafe focuses on healthy living and fresh ingredients.

Sure, the menu does include salads but it's also full of heartier options, like burgers, sandwiches, chili, and more.

There are also a couple of treats that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Serving up more than great food, the café makes it a point to give back to the community.

In addition to a job training course for college students, Starfish Café holds cooking classes, a Shop Smart and Healthy program, and other health related workshops.

Despite having only been in business for a few years, Starfish Cafe constantly receives rave reviews, has been featured in countless publications, and ranked #1 on Trip Advisor - only adding to the reasons you need to visit!

The Starfish Café is located at 211 Main Street in Bay Saint Louis. For more information, click here.
