SO many croissant, muffins, bread, cake, and other pastries to choose from.

Nice outdoor seating on a sunny day :)

They have specialty shelf stable chocolate and snacks and a display full of beautiful desserts! ** pistachio cream puff (4.5/5): unlike the more traditional choux shell, this one was laminated like croissant dough-- fun! The cream was also thick enough to not leak everywhere and didn't taste artificial. Really enjoy this one! ** strawberry and cream chiffon cake slice (3.5/5): didn't really feel like a chiffon cake or maybe it was on the drier side. It worked well with the mascarpone frosting though, which was smooth and a little too rich for me by itself. There wasn't too much strawberry besides the sweet jam layer in the middle. ** Brutta mi buoni (4/5): translated to "ugly but delicious," this craggly meringue actually caught my eye and curiosity for its looks. I'm usually not a fan of meringues, but this one was loaded with nuts and was tasty. Kind of tastes like a refined version of those Lucky Charms cereal marshallows in a good way! Happy with my little haul at Stellina Pronto! They were friendly and had a few window seats + outdoor seating. I'll probably stop by next time I'm in the area to try some new items. Definitely check them out if you're nearby!

I always love getting a sesame bagel with their scallion cream cheese, cucumbers, sprouts and radishes. A high end bagel place with upgraded toppings you don't typically see in your typical bagel shops. I highly recommend!

My friend got the Tahini bowl, which had brown rice, chickpeas, pickled cauliflower, cucumber, sweet potatoes, pickled carrots, spinach, and tahini. She also loved it!

It offers vegetarian options as well. It seems popular because it was full while we were there after 1pm. We tried the tuna melt and the Nutella crepe. It was good but not that great. We appreciated the effort the chef put into our meal. However, the crepe was much sweeter than I expected. All in all, this restaurant has a beautiful riverside outdoor view with a comfortable and laid-back interior. The serving team is kind and patient. It's appealing to families and small groups for everyday dining. The pasty corner inside the restaurant also looked delicious.

I had a cup of the tomato bisque soup and it was without doubt the best tomato bisque soup I have ever had in my life. Then I had a Caesar salad with grilled chicken thigh. The chicken was cooked, absolutely perfectly, not dry whatsoever. They didn't pull it out of the fridge. They cooked it right then and there it was beautiful and the seasoning was a perfect compliment to the Caesar salad our waiter was a little bit cool at first just kind of going through the motions but then as we got to know each other, he warmed up and he was very helpful and he was always checking in to see if we were doing OK. I would highly recommend Luma as a place for lunch or dinner and they have a full bar too with a nice seating around the bar. I'll be back.

This time we went for lunch, the beet salad was Great! I ordered a burger, we have gotten their burgers before and they were always good but this time the bun was hard, like maybe it was a little stale and the meat to bread ratio was SO OFF It looked like a single patty smash burger. We might have made our last trip to Luma. As soon as they changed from the steak fries to skinny fries it started to impress less and less every time we've gone.

I'm actually glad it's not closer to home, because I'd be here all the time. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the whole place has a great 1950s diner vibe with old photos, memorabilia, and music from that era. I had the eggs benedict both mornings, once with the house potatoes and once with the hash browns. Both potato sides were excellent. The house potatoes had crispy bits, creamy centers, and a dollop of sour cream, while the hash browns were crisp outside and soft inside. I swear I cannot make potatoes like that at home. The eggs benedict were also outstanding. Instead of a thin slice of ham or Canadian bacon, they used a real ham steak. I love eggs benedict, and these were some of the best I've had. My partner had the chicken fried chicken one morning and chicken and waffles the next, and loved both. He also shared a biscuit with me, which was very good. I was tempted by the biscuits and gravy on day two, but the eggs benedict were too good not to order again.

The poached eggs on my bene were cooked perfectly and I liked the crab cakes, but they weren't the best I've had (I felt like there could've been a little more crab). Lastly, I don't normally go for sweet breakfasts, but the French toast passing by looked amazing! Service was friendly and quick, and the price point for the amount of food was very reasonable. This is a fun and cute little spot, and I'd definitely recommend!
