When we're not "up north", I have been ordering directly from the Dark Water website. A couple of my favorites have been Stargazer and Seven Sisters, but recently ordered the current Shooting Star offering which features micro-lots that Tony and Lauren have come accross. The current offering is Hondouras-Finca la Esmeralda and is AMAZING! my new all-time favorite, and I am ordering a couple more bags while it is available. There's no better coffee than what you can find with local roasters who love what they do, and know how to do it. Thanks for making my morning coffee something special!

They feature a variety of small gifts that are perfect for one of your gals such as hair clips, journals, cards, keychains, etc. The pastries are all made in house and are mouthwatering.

Stella's also offers grab n go items such as breakfast burritos, soups, quiche etc. There is truly something for everyone! We love seeing Stella's Coffee House thrive!

I don't write Yelp reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves one…read more From the moment I walked in, I could tell this wasn't just another coffee shop. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy and modern--warm lighting, comfortable seating, and just enough background music to create ambiance without making it hard to have a conversation. It feels like somewhere you can settle in with a book, meet a friend, or get a few hours of work done without feeling rushed. What truly elevated my experience, though, was the service--especially Taylor. It's rare to come across someone who is both genuinely warm and highly attentive without being intrusive. Taylor greeted me with a friendly, welcoming energy and took the time to walk me through the menu when I mentioned I wanted something comforting but slightly different from my usual order. Their recommendation and enthusiasm felt authentic, not scripted, which made a big difference. I ended up ordering the raspberry chai, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The chai itself was beautifully spiced--rich notes of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and a subtle kick of ginger. The raspberry added a bright, slightly tart sweetness that complemented the warmth of the spices instead of overpowering them. The flavor balance was impressive; it wasn't overly sweet, and you could tell the ingredients were thoughtfully combined. It had a smooth, creamy texture and was served at the perfect temperature. Honestly, it was one of the most unique and well-crafted drinks I've had in a long time. Beyond my own experience, I noticed how attentive the staff was with other customers--checking in, remembering regulars, and maintaining a clean, welcoming space. The atmosphere feels community-oriented and intentional. You can tell this shop cares about quality, both in what they serve and how they treat people. Between the exceptional service from Taylor and a raspberry chai I'm still thinking about, this coffee shop has officially earned a spot in my regular rotation. If you're looking for a place with standout drinks and genuinely kind staff, this is it. Highly recommend.
