The Scene
Mellow, laid-back and a tad Bohemian. The store is divided into three sections--a cozy reading room with tables, sofas and all sorts of publications catering to the illuminati (The Paris Review, Harper's etc.); the central hub of commerce where patrons order coffee and pay for/return videos; and the library housing an impressive array of movie gems.
The Collection
Everything from art house to mainsteam to hard-to-find to just plain odd. Stardust makes it easy for patrons to find what they're looking for, sorting movie titles by country, director and genre. In the mood for Pasolini? Head over to the Italian section and pick up Salo; Herzog? The German wall carries a copy of Fitzcarraldo. Godard, Truffaut, Kurosawa, Kubrick, Bergman, Altman ... they got it all. And don't hesitate to ask the staff for a recommendation--they're well-schooled in film and can help you find that flick you've been meaning to see, but whose title you can't quite recall.
The Joe
You wouldn't expect a video store to make a great cup of coffee, but they take coffee-brewing seriously here. The Americano, espresso, cappuccino, mocha, latte and cafe au lait are all expertly prepared.
The Crowd
True film buffs, Birkenstock-wearing hipsters and Green Party supporters.

This lounge has walls covered with eclectic movies and a great menu with alot of variety. Their beer selection is nice for a smaller establishment. All in all this is the perfect place to hang out with friends, or to study for some classes.

Since we moved to Orlando, we've been slowly discovering cool little place like Stardust. Dandelion, Drunken Monkey, White Wolf all fall in the same category, but Stardust also has a pretty decent collection of books and independent/foreign films. The food was quite good and if you like beer, you will definitely find something for you. Places like Stardust help create neighborhoods and gives us hope that there's more to Orlando than amusement parks.

Coffee and Movies, what a great combination! Two of my favorite things in one place. My sister took me to Stardust one night to rent movies. There is such a diverse movie selection! I love it. There's a bunch of indie films[which i absolutely adore]. The coffee there is also fabulous. When we were there I was also exposed to a wonderful band[which name escapes me..]. It's just a fun place to be.
