I have been a fan of Stella Nova for awhile. However, after a few bad experiences in a row, I wanted to give an updated review. The last few times I have been in the shop, there are multiple problems occurring: One instance, the POS system was completely down and they were only accepting cash. On another visit, the system that prints tickets for food had gone out, making any of us that had ordered food wait 20-30 minutes+ while they tried to figure out who had ordered what. The most recent experience, the espresso machine had completely gone out and they could only serve coffee and cold brew if you were looking for a beverage of that nature. The staff is always very kind but its becoming a less reliable experience when I'm in town and looking for a coffee shop to get some work done or relax in. read more

Really solid coffee shop. The ambiance and art is pretty epic. Service is usually pretty good. Coffee quality and drinks are pretty solid. Sometimes can take awhile. read more

Absolute love Stella nova! This location has always been a favorite, there's plenty of space to work, read a book or catch up with a friend! Parking is limited. Workers are super nice and accommodating, didn't love my matcha specialty drink and they made me something else! read more

Stella Nova - Lavender Lemonade - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

I've only been here two times so far, and each visit has been excellent. The first time, I ordered an iced salted caramel shaken espresso with a ham and cheddar bagel--such a great combo. On my most recent visit, I had the bacon, egg, and cheddar wrap with an iced blueberry Cubano coffee, and it was just as delicious. The service here is consistently outstanding. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always have a positive attitude. I also really appreciate the atmosphere--it's calm, inviting, and a great place to study or get work done without feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Coffee was made quick which was nice but it tasted awful. They completely forgot about the food I ordered and I had to remind them to make it...there were 4 people in the building. read more

I go here often lately and usually its decent but today I ordered after work there was about 3 people there that already had drinks and 1 person went through drive thru I got 2 drinks and 15minutes after I received my receipt via text they made my drinks. I got a matcha with no ice and was handed a cup 3/4 full and then asked if I wanted it full I said yes they then poured milk i believe into it and it was nasty I also got another drink I typically get it just tasted like cold brew with whip cream which was not the usual flavor. I dont think I'll be going back honestly read more

The Apple Orchard lemonade is delicious, refreshing, and perfect for fall!! I want to get it every single day it's so good. Very friendly service and a great atmosphere for studying or hanging with friends! This place is my favorite study spot read more

Very cozy! I enjoy the atmosphere and study energy from this place. It's also close to OU campus so convenient for students. Service is good and their crème frappe's never disappoint if you have a sweet tooth. read more

Stella Nova - two cups of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

I came in with my friends today the 13th around noon, we have loved going to stella nova in the past and haven't come in a long time. The food and coffee were great as usual but everything else was abysmal! Our orders were taking long (around 20 minutes) so we came up there and asked very nicely for an update on our food and drinks. This didn't make sense as to the amount of people in the lobby/ drive through. I think they were too busy trying to catch a cockroach (pictured below). Honestly all of this didn't bother us- we've worked in the service realm, and sometimes these things happen. I wasn't going to write a review until we pulled out of the parking lot, looked to our lefts, and an employee, flipped us off through the drive through window. This behavior is completely unacceptable and nothing like we've ever experienced before. Would hate for this to happen again to the lovely people of Norman. read more

Stella Nova - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Overall a great stop not far off the interstate. Don't expect it to be a true craft coffee experience but it's better than Starbucks or other fast coffee options. Wide selection of food and drinks that were reasonably priced. The space is large and inviting, clearly used to be a fast food restaurant or something. The staff was friendly and helpful. I got a hazelnut chocolate cream latte made hot and honestly loved it. It was smooth and very sweet. My husband got a cold brew with honey and cold foam, he too enjoyed his drink! I would definitely return next time we are driving through! They had super cute merchandise and branding as well. read more

Love the atmosphere. Love the drinks. Coffee always has a good rich flavor. Customer Service is always good as well. Would love for the prices to be cheaper, but when it comes to getting coffee on the go, can't really complain on the price. It's about the same at a Starbucks. read more

They had great coffee and service. The inside is very clean. I would definitely recommend this place.

I am sorry but this is not a real coffee shop. It looks cute and industrial from the outside, the inside is quite large with lots of space between tables and sofas and might be a good place to work remote from. The staff was pleasant but couldn't answer questions regarding their roasting process, where they get their beans and I find it annoying that they only share prices for 16oz (medium) drinks on their TV screen menus because they couldn't figure out how to fit everything on it. I'm sorry but between a TV menu and a cheap electric espresso machine, all I can think is CHEAP. Also, If you like a strong coffee tell them exactly how you want your drink made because they don't put very many shots unless asked. read more

Stella Nova - Anything to seem relevant in a town full of coffee shops - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Norman. It's always a good experience, but the last time my boyfriend and I went we were helped by a barista named Reese and she was GREAT!! He forgot to get his cinnamon roll, and when we went back through the drive thru to get it Reese gave us an extra cinnamon roll for free!! She was seriously so nice & had great customer service. Our go to place read more

Personal and attentive service, delicious coffee drinks and fresh pastries in a cool environment - Stella Nova has it all! It's 45 degrees out and we all need a warm-up. So glad we saw this cool coffee shop on our way out of town - it's the perfect blend of cool vibe and hot coffee to keep us warm and toasty on a crappy gray foggy cold-to-your-bones day. All orders made perfectly according to each drinker's druthers - and served up fast and HOT! 5 nothing better than hot coffee on a cold day stars read more

Not super great. The drinks are so so but I always have to mix them up myself. Anything with syrup it seems like the syrup is just sitting on the bottom. Twice I've had drive thru drinks with the wrong size lid where it's spilled on me and when I ask for a new lid (this usually happens as they hand it to me because the lid is too large) they act like I'm an idiot when they didn't put on the correct lid. Between service issues, food being meh and drinks being over priced for what they are I skip this place. read more

The Atmosphere: it was a very cute and w The Food: I unfortunately did not enjoy my Chai at all. my friends drink wasn't good either. We threw them both out and stopped and got a drink at a gas station. The Service: the workers were very nice Cleanliness: it was very clean Bathrooms: clean and available Parking: parking lot available Highlights: I liked the vibe inside read more

Always awesome, fast, and clean, with reasonable prices to boot. I frequently come here for business meetings or on my way to the office. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, too. The only thing I miss is the old drivethru menu board where the birdies lived. read more

I really like the Stella Nova in OKC so I thought I'd like the one in Norman and I do! I do! They are cute and funky and actually serve good coffee. They have my favorite almond flavored syrup which makes me supremely happy. They have good pastries. I especially like their spinach pastry which is savory and yummy. At this Stella Nova the decor is eclectic funk and fun! Fun! Fun! In one of the bathrooms they have the coolest mirror (check out my pic). read more

Great place with drive through access. Always busy around noon. One advice for them is to double check the grinder's collaboration or back-flush espresso machine more often for more consistent drinks. I can tell the difference from time to another. I like their indoor design. read more

I always love visiting Stella Nova for muffins and coffee. It's usually crowded so I get my orders to go. The service is friendly and quick to get your order out. read more

I am a religious Starbucks customer HOWEVER I have been wanting to eat more locally. I came to Stella Nova today and the baristas were so kind and patient helping me find a drink similar to my usual at starbs. Definitely going back and hopefully will become my new regular coffee shop! read more

Had my first cappuccino from Stella Nova today, it was good but could be better. Price was a little cheaper than starbucks, speed was an issue when ordering drive-thru, slow to say the least, hopefully they will find their groove. I got a Vanilla cappuccino to be specific, needed more flavor and I had to add 4 packets of sugar to get some sweetness to equal out the coffee. Will try again and see if it was just a mistake. read more

Stella Nova - Medium Vanilla Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

I really love this coffee shop. They have fast service and kind employees. I've tried several different drinks (my main drink is chai tea) and it is good every time. It's kind of expensive though which is why I didn't give it 5 stars-but I guess all coffee is. I'll be going back for sure. read more

I came here for the first time and ordered a mocha frappe. I had to wait for a negligible amount of time, but the barista at the window gave me a $5 gift card to make up for the wait. I was so impressed with the customer service here- I'll be back for sure! The building is also super cute and I LOVE that they have a drive thru. read more

Great coffee. The service is always kind and helpful especially when you aren't sure what you are getting or what's inside something. I haven't been to one location that disappoints. read more

Pros: Stella Nova is a great place to hang out with a friend or work on homework. Their chai tea latte and pastries are delicious. The workers are very friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful Cons: It's usually pretty packed and most of the drinks I've tried - vanilla latte, lavender latte, and cold brew etc - aren't the best cups of coffee I've had in Norman and tend to be overpriced. read more

Legit the best coffee ever. I drive to Norman or OKC from Moore every weekend to get coffee from Stella. I love Starbucks and Dutch Bros too, but nothing around here compares to Stella Nova. Not only is the coffee insanely good and consistently good, but the baristas are always SO friendly and sweet. THE BEST! read more

+ atmosphere +++ chai latte Atmosphere: modern/contemporary. Seems to have plenty of seating around. Bright and cozy. I got my chai with oat milk, not sure if it changes the flavor much but the chai was great. Overall the flavor of the chai was definitely there, not hidden by water, not hidden by milk, my first sip the drink seemed to say to me "HELLO I'm chai." Flavor wasn't as spicy as some places, it leaned more on the cinnamon side. Overall great place to grab a chai(r). I would definitely come back to try their other drinks. read more

When I came it was nice and quiet. A lot of students studying. They have some board games and books available. My son has an iced latte and I had a shaken passion tea. Both were good. Staff was helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back read more

Not my favorite coffee place but it did the trick. The staff was very friendly. Recommended a few different coffees in my teaste range. (being my first time there) read more

This coffee shop is nice. The lighting is good for a productive work/study environment. Green tea latte was a pleasure. I like how they have multiple types of seating. My favorite was the comfy chairs facing the street. It's a nice place to sit and reflect. It made me grateful to be visiting home. I'll be back...Thanks for the good experience Stella! read more

Stella Nova - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

The menu is small but the coffee is really good. The mocha frappe has won my heart. Today was my first experience here and I was surprised to see the have breakfast sandwich options and salads. I figured they'd just have some scones and pastries but they have more than that. The price is more expensive than your average gas station but cheaper than your local Starbucks. We encountered a chatty barista that was super sweet which enhanced the overall service experience. The employees seem like they really care about the customer and want to make sure you're taken care of. read more

Loved the pastry options. I ended up with the crumb cake and it was a great choice. The coffee was smooth and they have so many flavors to add in. Happy that they had oat milk too. read more

My usual is a vanilla latte and a pastry whenever I come here. The staff is so friendly and helpful with suggesting something if I want to try something new. I love coming out to the Norman location even though they opened up a new location downtown. The students and families that frequent this coffee shop make it so enjoyable to stay for hours through the day. read more

NOT 3rd wave or specialty coffee - for you travelers and aficionados. Be aware. In all fairness, this is a step-up from Starbucks for the layman. I'd tell my dad to stop here, but it's not for me. After seeing oily beans in the hoppers, I opted for a nitro cold brew. It was also from a dark roasted bean. Also tasted like it had some flavoring. TL;DR - If you like Starbucks and want to branch out, this is your spot. If you're into craft roasts and specialty coffee, check out other spots in Norman. read more

I had a terrific pour-over last time I stopped in -- the flavor was mild and yet rich all at once. (Not acidic at all, but with complex flavors.) Smiling service, too -- I always appreciate that in a world full of frowning baristas and bitchy little counter clerks. I hear that Stella Nova will soon open a location in northwest Oklahoma City, but i've no confirmation of this rumor just yet. read more

Hey, I've tried going there a half dozen times or so. I even know people that work there. I have had both pour overs and Americanos. However, their coffee is consistently bitter, burnt, and over-extracted. Also, no kidding, each time my cup had a bad seam and started leaking coffee after a minute or so. Maybe they got in a bad shipment? Maybe I'm just not meant to go there? At first, I thought the poor coffee was due to inconsistency. Nope, it's them. Sure, I'm probably somewhat of a coffee snob, but it's hard to mess up an Americano. It's usually crowded and hard to find a parking spot, so I know others enjoy it. I hope their business does well. They won't miss me. There are better options in Norman for craft coffee. read more

I LOVE Stella Nova! It is the perfect use for that location (which had changed businesses several times beforehand). I mainly use the drive thru, but have also worked inside a couple times. They have plenty of space, with several types of settings for lounging, working, big groups, small groups, window seating. Very clean and good WiFi. One of its most memorable qualities is the friendliness of the staff. Every time I go in the drive thru, the staff are pleasant, asking questions about my day while they prep my drinks. It really does make a difference. As for the menu, Stella Nova has a wide variety and is very reasonably priced! A large is pretty large, I think 20 oz. They are good about adding seasonal favorites, as well. I like that their food options are also good quality and not over-priced. You can get good bakery items generally for $2-3 and breakfast sandwiches/wraps for $3-5. It's definitely my go-to local spot in Norman! Wish they had loyalty cards! read more
