Morning Star Cafe

The Morning Star has become a tempting destination point at the end of a 75-minute drive up from Florence, Massachusetts. The soups alone are worth the trip. Served in generous portions in decorative mugs, every variety is a great opening act for the vast selection of sandwiches, some fancy, others familiar. Even the tuna sandwich (Tuna Laguna) is a cut above the ordinary. And there’s plenty of room to settle in, read the paper, and observe the surprisingly diverse clientele.
