The café, which Austin residents sometimes refer to as “Star Seeds,” plans to relocate. The post said that a new location will be announced after Nov. 10.

“We have been a cherished part of the Austin community for the past 58 years,” the post read. “Stars Cafe has always been more than just a place to eat; it has been a gathering spot of the amazing and the not so amazing, a haven for friends and families and mortal enemies, and a backdrop for countless memories and ‘I can’t believe that happened’ times.”

The restaurant’s owners plan to continue serving customers until then.
