The restaurant is very nice and beautifully decorated. I ordered the skillet breakfast and the buttermilk waffles they were good. The staff were also very friendly.
Nice place. Good atmosphere for having a coffee and/or a bite to eat. It seems very popular so we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food. (The coffee wait was only a couple minutes) the food was good and the price was reasonable. I would eat here again or come back for coffee.
I had a gift card to this place, and I'm glad I did! I had a latte with whole milk and the breakfast sandwich. The staff was nice and helpful. They make their own vanilla and grind their own coffee! I really enjoyed this place! The ambiance was amazing, quiet, and sunny. I will definitely return whenever I'm in Norfolk …
The atmosphere is awesome - cool decor, cozy and comfortable. There are a lot of tables both inside and outside. A lot of people go in to work/study on their laptops so it was a few minutes before a table opened up. Didn’t have any food but the coffee was perfectly made - frothy without bubbles and very smooth. Service …
I love this place! I have visited a few times in the past months and have always had a pleasant experience. They have the most kind and enthusiastic staff. The decorations are eclectic in a stimulating manner, and there is lots of ample space whilst still feeling cozy. The coffee is AMAZING!! And their food not only has a ton …
Had such a great night here! My handsome date and I were lucky enough to attend the first Valentine's dinner and Jazz night! Music was great and inviting. It was a busy evening so service was a little slow, but the owner was amazing. She checked on us several times, kept us updated on our food, and handled everything so …
Cafe Stella is one of those places that just feels like a hug in café form. The vibe is super cozy, with warm lighting and this laid-back, rustic charm that makes you want to stay all day. I tried their avocado toast (because how could I not?), and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had—so fresh and perfectly …
Love coming here for breakfast. Portions are just a bit small but filling and delicious. The atmosphere is the best and the hours are great, you don't feel rushed through breakfast or brunch which is rare for some cafe-style places. Parking can be kind of tricky especially on weekends and mornings so if you're within walking distance, definitely recommend that …
Sunday morning was my second time at Stella’s, and it’s easy to see why it’s a favorite spot. The staff is always polite and helpful (underrated quality in a coffee shop), the coffee is delicious, the selection of pastries is great, and the hot food offered has been good. I’ve only tried 2 items, but both were very good. The …
absolutely great. when I saw the bill for a triple shot latte and a cappuccino was under $9 I'm still having trouble believing it... there's a guy in my neighborhood running a espresso shop out of a horse trailer charging $9 for one drink in the country give me a break.
