I'm not a big Grateful Dead guy. To be honest, I didn't even realize Stella Blue was named after one of their songs (hence my point of not being a big fan of theirs). That doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of Yelp because what is more important for this review would be how things tasted when I visited this little cafe spot in Huntington over the summer with my wife. Just in case you decided to keep reading (because I can get wordy), things tasted great. But before I fully get there, let's just mention that Stella Blue's interior vibe definitely fits with a mellow 1960s/70s rock style. There's a lot of color going on in this place between the exterior, the walls, the tables, the menu, and damn well everything. It can almost be a bit of an overload, but focus in on what you want to eat and drink and you'll be okay. For that, you'll find a menu with plenty of breakfast and lunch items as well as coffee, smoothies, and other drinks. My wife and I chose to just share one morning meal and a drink as she wasn't starving (and I had already drank a cup of joe prior). We went with The Grit Bowl which placed 3 eggs, bacon, sausage, and cheese over a bed of southern grits. The thing was piping hot and quite tasty with everything (including the meats) tasting fresh and not fatty. For coffee, we went with an iced vanilla latte which was formidable in flavor albeit a little too sweet for my liking. One quick note before I wrap things up, the walls in Stella Blue are filled with different posters and signs, but make sure to hone in on the paper about paying it forward. A cool thing that SB does is allows you to give them a donation and/or "buy" an item for someone who comes in and is a little short on funds. A nice gesture and something you really don't see (but should more often!). Overall, Stella Blue is a fun vibe of a spot offering up some tasty morning (and afternoon) grub. It's a little quirky bordering on a tad too "out there," but for the most part you'll find a nice place to start off your day in Huntington with a chance to righten your karma by paying it forward. So whether you're a Grateful Dead fan or not, you'll still enjoy a touch of great stuff (there's my not-so-smooth song reference).
Vibes are immaculate here. The Grateful Dead theme is incredible. I didn't try any food today but I will be back. Their menu is extensive and they have plenty of options for everyone (lots of vegan food). The employees are so friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great matcha latte!
I'm glad there's a place where people can get vegan options, but I just spent over $20 for a beyond burger on Ezekiel bread ($16+, + upcharge for pickles, + undeserved tip). The burger was unseasoned, no marinade or sauce. No healthy vegan ketchup options (Heinz is loaded with corn syrup). For $20 I should get something a little better than what I could do in a few minutes in my own kitchen for $3 worth of ingredients. Absolute minimal effort went into this meal. I was not the only one in my party w this experience.
I love this place! The ambiance looks great with a hippie vibe. Feels like I'm in a 60's and 70's cafe. They have a little cute retail clothing store in the back. We tried the MatchaMe and the DayTrippin which were new latte drinks on the menu. They're both not too sweet and delicious. The Smoked Chicken Wrap and the Hecksher Park Cheeseburger were so good. Really liked the bbq sauce and the smoked flavor on the grilled wrap. The cheeseburger meat was so juicy and soft. The sweet potato fries and onion rings are crispy. I need to go back and try out more stuff from the menu. The staff were very cheerful and kind.
Disappointed at the prices and quality of food here. The ambiance was very fun and friendly, but what you get for what you pay... not that much. I'm vegan and always love to try new vegan accommodating restaurants but this one was not it. Don't bother calling it a "bacon egg and cheese" if you're not gonna bother cooking the fake bacon (it was cold) or even seasoning the block of tofu that was slapped on my sandwich. Honestly insulting LOL
Cute little local bistro, very eclectic style. The staff was very friendly and was patient. My daughter & I met my SIL here for brunch. I was a little overwhelmed with the vast menu so it took me a while to figure out what I wanted. I ended up ordering a chocolate latte, a grit bowl with a biscuit on the side, and a waffle for my daughter. The latte was delicious and my daughter enjoyed her waffle. I was too eager to get into my grit bowl that I forgot to take pics of our food... I ordered my eggs over easy which can sometimes be hard to do. The eggs were done perfectly as was the bacon, perfectly crisp and not at all greasy. The grits were a little on the dry side but they were seasoned nicely. The biscuit on the side, wasn't warmed and didn't come with any butter or anything. I took some butter that came with my daughter's waffle and the biscuit, even with the butter was dry so I decided to take it home and try heating it with some kind of gravy to moisten it up. I ended up having it the next day, very lightly warmed in my toaster oven. I topped it with home made sausage gravy and 2 eggs over easy... unfortunately none of that helped to moisten the biscuit... I also bought a box of mint moonpies my daughter wanted, I was surprised that the box of 12 came out to $16. I don't know how hard they are to find, but I personally I wouldn't have bought them had I known the price before hand. Overall, I enjoyed the decor and my daughter and I enjoyed our food. I especially enjoyed the chocolate latte. I would come again and try something different if I were in the area.
Was not sure if this place would be open for New Years Day, but lo and behold they were open. Deena was helping and she was a breath of fresh air. Although she was out celebrating NYE, and with no sleep, she showed up for work and with a very nice welcoming attitude. My friend and I ordered a grits bowls. We forgot to mention to add avocado. I went back up and without hesitation, she went into the kitchen and got it done! I also ordered a smoothie with peanut butter in it. I asked her to make a special one with giving her ingredients. Smoothie suprise!! I wish there was a Deena in every restaurant! Yes, would go back in a heartbeat!!!
I'm giving this place 5 stars because it's a Grateful Dead themed cafe which was super fun and had pretty good food. I would like to support them and see them flourish! They are AWESOME!
I really wanted to like this place. i just want to say their service was great the workers were really nice. The space is nice. It had an cool ambience and decor. If you like nice workers and a fun environment to eat in with overpriced food...this place is for you! My gripe is with the cost of what you are getting. It's just not worth the money. I'm mostly vegan, vegan ingredients are always cheaper unless it's a substitute item like (vegan sour cream, vegan cheese etc.) i ordered a vegan breakfast burrito, it was $16!!! i live in san francisco, i don't think i have ever paid that much for a vegan breakfast food there. I paid, I was thinking oh it's going to be a big burrito. I was wrong. I just don't understand how this burrito would cost $16, the only costly ingredient was vegan cheese but it was a stingy amount. The burrito had rice, beans, tofu, avocado, vegan cheese and "pico de gallo". Again the vegan cheese is probably more costly than the avocado. The taste of the burrito was also bland, and I know people are going to say vegan food is bland and tofu is plain with no flavor. There is such thing as flavorful vegan food, this is not it. I had to eat my burrito with hot sauce from home so it was more enjoyable. I also ordered a large ice tea and lemonade which was okay, but made my total here over $20. Even considering inflation, a breakfast burrito and ice tea lemonade shouldn't be over $20. It just makes me think how much are the workers paid? Do they have to spend one to two hours of their wages on one meal here? Ironic considering they have a sign "no one wants to work anymore". It just made me curious how much are the workers here are actually getting paid. I won't be going back again. There are other places in Huntington that are better and a better deal.
Stopped in this morning and loved the look of this place ... I ordered the ghetto bagel ... toasted bagel with cream cheese and bacon... it was amazing... the coffee was great ... I will be back soon this place is a gem ... support local owned businesses
I was doing a pick up for uber eats. So I wanted to try the food and They charge me $26 for a grits and sausage, egg and cheese bowl. They are a complete rip off. The clerk was mean and had an attitude towards me for no reason. Looked at me like i had three heads! The food is needed all that good

Food came out quickly. I really enjoyed the smoothie I got, it was similar to the peanut butter one but with some modifications, the burrito bowl was decent but nothing special. Definitely would like to come back to try more vegan/vegetarian options. read more

Stella Blue Bistro is one of my favorite hidden gems on Long Island! It's such a unique spot with great drinks and tons of options for vegans/vegetarians! Be sure to build in some time to look at all the amazing memorabilia on the walls and the little shop in the back! Service is also always great! read more

I want so bad to give this place 5 starts. Love the alternative ambiance, easy seating and meal options. Love that they have oat milk and an array of breakfast. Really enjoyed the music and the friendly customers. Now for the removal of stars... My friend has Celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. We chose this as my baby daughters first breakfast outing because of the ample space AND because of her dietary restrictions. Online they show two blueberry oatmeal's, one says vegan and one is gluten free. When my friend inquired about the gluten free the lady at the counter said she didn't know. Well ummm thanks? We saw there were gluten free pancakes. My friend decided to get gluten free banana pancakes and I got regular with an iced coffee with a CBD shot. Food was good. My friend was in agony 30mins to an hour later. Her day was shot, those were hot gluten free pancakes. This place boasts its gluten free and vegan menus, yet the counter person didn't seem to know or care. It felt like we were bothering her asking... anyway I will be back because it's a good place for my daughter and if it's not busy it can accommodate a stroller. If you're gluten free I cannot recommend this place. It was awful watching how much pain my friend was in. Do it for a cool vibe and good breakfast, avoid if you have dietary restrictions. read more

This is a gem in Huntington! They have such an elaborate menu that you'll be sure to find something you love! So many great drinks, breakfast items, and lunch options. This is such a comforting and relaxing environment; I highly recommend this cafe for catching up with a friend where you have no place to be. I tried a smoothie, oatmeal bowl and the cuban sandwich. This sandwich was unbelievable! read more

Cute place in the Huntington Village area. Love the art and the funky vibe - totally cool. Came here twice this month for a drink and a treat to go. The first time the service was much quicker. The second time the woman in front of me ordered about 17 drinks and there was only one girl working so it was a bit of a wait for an iced tea and a cookie. Also, July and no AC..I feel bad for those working in the kitchen, I felt hot after about five minutes. I really liked my iced tea - wild raspberry hibiscus (Large = $3.75). And their chocolate chip cookies are *delicious*. My hubs loved his Energy Ball Bites, or whatever they're called - peanut buttery goodness. Not too bad for $1, and the cookie was $1.75. You could taste that it was homemade for sure. I would want to try the food here first before giving it a 4 star rating, but I dig this place. Check it out if you are in the area. read more
I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it has let me down twice now. You are really just paying for the hipster ambiance and not so much the food or service. My boyfriend and I ordered salads from here a few months ago, and we felt the salads were poorly made. The portion size was very small and the salads were not even chopped. Someone else posted a picture of their salad and that is pretty much what ours looked like. We decided to give this place another shot yesterday for breakfast, since this is what they seem to specialize in. Well I ordered a gluten free egg sandwich with potatoes. The sandwich looked pathetic. The way it's shown in the picture is exactly how it was brought out. There was also only THREE cubed potatoes on the sandwich. Same thing with my boyfriend's sandwich who ordered the same thing just on a regular roll. When we order these exact sandwiches ANY where else, we get an abundance of potatoes with it (and for half the price). Not to mention, the eggs were not even warm AND were very over-done yet we ordered them over-medium (they should have been a bit runny). They also forgot my boyfriend's coffee. We paid $26 total for 2 egg sandwiches, a (very small) iced coffee, and a (small) smoothie. We would not recommend this place. read more

My complaint is on the service. I ordered delivery, and my Caesar salad came without dressing, not even a side of dressing. When I called the place I was told someone would bring it to me, 2 hours later no one came by and the place closed. I work in the hospital nearby IF I COULD have left my office to pickup the food I would have DONE SO. I chose them out of convenience, NEXT TIME I'll pass on the store bought croutons and wilted lettuce. Inconvenient and a waste of my money for the salad and macaroni and cheese I ordered. read more
Stella Blue is a café on NY Ave north of Main St. Enjoyable vibe for morning tea/coffee as it looks like a closed bar from the outside, and sounds good, with music playing inside. Dim lighting, creative décor with various style cool, older tables, reupholstered wood chairs.. Think opposite of diner.. and it works. Good bagels, they make fast breakfast sandwiches, have salads in the case, have mostly regular and a good number of fresh gluten free items, muffins etc. Coffee and tea are poured behind the counter, and a counter to fix yourself, with organic milk, honey etc.. Once you've stopped in, its easy to find yourself veering over here. read more

[review by my 6 year old daughter] I went there for the first time a few years ago and I didn't know what to expect, but the food was so good, my mouth was bubbling - and now I go there every weekend. "Stella Blues - your food is sooo tasty!" [review by my 9 year old daughter] Every time I go to Stella Blues I order a bacon egg and cheese, or a baked berry - both of which are super-delicious. I am proud to say that Stella Blues is my favorite place to eat and being there gives me a happy warm feeling inside. [review by myself] When the mural of Jerry went up on the northbound lane of New York Avenue, I knew something special was coming. Many years later, as a regular, I can look back and know I was right - I loved Jerry in life, and now I love him in the form of delicious, nutritious, and sometimes just downright indulgent breakfast delights, homemade salads and sandwiches, fantastic baked goods, and a strangely familiar atmosphere full of great music, bright colors, and big smiles. This isn't veggie burritos and ganja goo-balls in the lot (delicious though they were) - this is the evolution of a style of living that has grown into a holistic treat for the soul. And the coffee will steal the face right off your head! read more

REVISED REVIEW: This has been one of my favorite places since it opened, but today was not good. I went in around 10:30, ordered a breakfast bowl of eggs, rice, beans, salsa and the rest, and it was overcooked. The rice was crunchy. It looked as if it had been run too slowly under the salamander or left too long in the oven. And the serving size was smaller than it had ever been before, unless my memory is flawed. Another odd point was that the music was so loud that I had to ask them to turn it down. While they did so readily, it was rather shocking to me that it was so loud that I had to yell to be heard by my companion. Until now, the quality and mood have been a consistent flow. Over the past few years, the beverages on offer have continually changed. I can live with that. But I was really dismayed today. Overall, things were off. read more
