We opened our café to create a location in Nederland that is more than just an eatery. Although our
main focus will be providing quality service while serving our delicious breakfast and lunch, our café will
also nurture and honor the rich history the building has maintained (the original house was constructed
in 1904). Shining Star Café is now and has been in the past (under former names and owners) a place
where the local community can come together to view and exchange ideas, art, and talent with
like-minded individuals. It is also a place where folks can relax and drink a warm espresso drink on our
couch and play a game of chess. We as owners feel privileged to be in this building.

Our cooking combines hearty favorites, healthy cooking styles, local flavors and creativity. Check for
our daily soups made from scratch, homemade desserts and organic ice cream made in Boulder! We
serve breakfast and lunch specials based on seasonal availability of produce, and offer a special menu
for our musical and other events. We offer a variety of white and red wines from around the world,
some of them organic! Check here to see our wine list.

In addition to offering affordable meals and wine/beer, Shining Star café will host a variety of styles
of artists in our comfortable setting. Every three months, we invite a different artist to display their
work on our walls, complete with advertised nights for artists to present and discuss their work. Check
our Featured Artist page for the details on our current artist, Rebecca Linn. In addition to displaying
visual arts, we are happy to carry on the musical traditions that this building has seen, starting with
weekly bluegrass picks and other booked acts. Check the Music tab for a calendar and updates.
