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.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
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.
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.
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.
The Starfish Café is located at 211 Main Street in Bay Saint Louis. For more information, click here.
