If you're looking for a true taste of France in Livingston, Stella's is it. The pastries are absolutely gorgeous--artisanal, delicate, and made with a level of craftsmanship you rarely find outside of Europe. They don't offer gluten-free options, but they do use flour imported directly from France, which is very different from U.S. flour. According to the staff, no one has ever had an issue with gluten intolerance here, which makes their approach unique and worth noting. The coffee is just as impressive. I always judge a coffee shop by its Americano, and Stella's passes the test--smooth, bold, and simple, the way it should be. Overall, a beautiful little French bakery with pastries that are almost too pretty to eat (almost ) and coffee that makes you want to linger a little longer. A gem for Livingston! read more

Amazing! I said "Wow!" with my very first bite of the feta quiche. The bakery is cute. The young woman at the counter was exceptionally friendly and helpful and offered interesting information about the food and business, and she showed a high level of enthusiasm and engagement. The pastries had a gorgeous presentation and delightful flavors to match. The crusts for the quiches were perfection. The pastries we tried had an incredibly fresh croissant texture and wonderful flavor. The coffee blend and tea blend were delightful. Our only critique was that the Quiche Lorraine was a little saltier than we prefer. We're visiting from Atlanta but hope to get by here at least one more time and try more menu items before we return home. read more

Wonderful baked goods! Beautiful Atmosphere, I go twice a week! Love everything here. Only issue is occasionally drive through window staff forget small items i ordered and i have to go inside to get my cookie, or water. ( has happened 3 times in past 4 months) Otherwise a wonderful place! Very Tasty treats!! read more

Wow, yes they are expensive but oh their food is so good. I'm from Boston. I lived in a little Italy. I think Stella's is actually supposed to be French. I thought I heard whatever it is. It's delicious. From the fresh bread to everything they put in it. And oh my goodness, the pastries. I didn't think they would make it here in Livingston. It seems a little too fancy, but that parking lot is always full. Yes I do wish the prices were lower, but try them anyway splurge for yourself. It's worth it. read more

The pastry and coffee 5/5 stars. The food soup/lunch items 4.5. They go by numbers and you take it with you when you sit down but they can never find you. They need new numbers that stand up on its own. And they need to remember to take the number after they bring your plate. read more

Driving along US190 we saw Stella's in all her glory. We stopped for a quick snack. The front is clean with plenty of parking. Inside was clean and inviting. Open seating and bright colors draws you to want to sit down and just enjoy the room. The display cases highlight the goodies they offer. Plenty of pastries to satisfy most desires. Teas and coffees available in different sizes and flavors. They also have sandwiches and salads to enjoy. We sat on the covered patio because we finally had a great wether day. The pastries were brought to us at the table and they even warmed them up for us. Stella's is such an unexpected delight and we took pastries to go but will be back for other goodies. read more

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was phenomenal. The bakery was so clean and spacious. I loved the building! read more

Livingston has long needed a place like this, great desert. Friendly service, nicely decorated and good sandwiches.

Fantastic local gem. The sandwiches my family had were excellent. Coffee was great, and the bakery case is filled with an assortment of just-made pastries. If I lived here, I'd probably be here several times a week. read more

Wow! Just moved to Livingston and what a gem! Stella's checks all the boxes. Beautiful ambiance, world class pastries, the best quiche this world traveler has ever had and friendly prompt service. Well worth the money for this amazing experience. Feeling very lucky to have this place in my new town!! read more

The food was great. Had the Feta Quiche. & a nice med latte. My travel companion opted for the chicken bacon pesto sandwich w side of the tomato basil. Omg the soup was great the combined flavors of the sandwich were great. My feta quiche was flavorful & crust flacky. Caveat we came after 1 on a Saturday so quiche was not fresh looking but I love quiche. Not sure how they heat their foods but it was very flavor still not gummy or dried out! And the pastries you need come check those out yourself. read more

What a cute bakery! And what a great place to have it! In a town where all I've mostly seen have been franchises, like McDonald's and Taco Bell, there finally was a place that caught my eye that looked like it was locally owned and I could support a small business. I couldn't enjoy the cafe part because they didn't have any vegetarian options out. I guess I could have asked them to give me a sandwich without the deli meat, but then I'd be paying for it and not getting it which doesn't make sense. Unless it could be substituted with avacado or something, but the woman behind the window said that there was no vegetarian sandwiches and didn't mention any substitutes so I guess that's that. I got a bunch of baked goods, including chocolate chip cookies (yum), pistachio eclair (double yum), and pistachio cinnamon roll (least favorite but still good). The hazelnut iced latte and iced coffee with toffee nut are good, but both needed sweetener and more cream. Thankfully I grabbed some sweetener on my way out, but it would have been way better with more cream. It's better to be less sweet than add more, than have more sweetener and not be able to take it out. The bathrooms were large and clean. Overall, we will be back! I'd love to try to soups and sandwiches next time (granted that they have some without meat). read more

My husband and I had been here once before when family was in town and we had been wanting to go back. The interior is so beautiful and the staff is so friendly. We stopped in for lunch on a day when they had a buffalo chicken wrap as a special. It was so good. We don't get out for lunch often but I am so looking forward to going back. read more

Love this place! It's beautiful and just happens to be right on the way home when I leave the gym (lots of pastries!). Staff are awesome and the Orange Dream Frappe and Feta Quiche are Oh My God delicious! Yes, you must go. read more

A group of us met for brunch and everyone loved what they ordered. Our orders ranged from pastry and coffee to soup and sandwich. Very cute place, plenty of seating. Walk up counter to pay and order. I have been back a few times when I am in the area and have never been disappointed. read more

Oh. My. Goodness! The Cuban coffee is soooooo good! And I am a coffee snob who is not easily impressed. And don't even get me started with the pastries. I had the lemon lavender croissant and it tasted like I was in a French cafe. I came back the next day for the espresso croissant. The cafe is so dang cute and decorated well with both indoor and outdoor seating. Bring your girlfriends or your favorite guy and run don't walk to check it out! read more

Amazing staff, wonderful coffee, and to die for pastries. Coffee and flour imported! And the restaurant was gorgeous and beautiful windows!

Slim selection of lunch items. Tons of desserts. The Quiche feta was soggy & bland. Chicken salad sandwich was passable. Service was absolutely terrible. Workers standing around (not bussing tables). Staff is curt & not real friendly. read more

Stella's is an attractive and modern cafe serving a variety of coffee drinks, great looking pastries that may be baked on site, and sandwiches. My companion and I ordered an iced coffee with whole milk, and an iced coffee with nothing in it. Stella's does not offer any low fat milks such as 1% or 2% milk. We ordered at the counter, got a number, and waited at a table. At this time the tables were not half full on a Saturday around 10:30 AM. The place was only lightly busy inside. After waiting 10 minutes for the two iced coffees, I went to the counter to ask about the order. 2 minutes later, our coffee was available at the counter. It is disappointing to wait 12 minutes for an extremely simple order like two iced coffees. I wanted to try this place again and try the pastries and sandwiches, but with slow service like this, I am hesitant. read more

Stella's is the best! Their sausage croissant and quiche are amazing, and so is the French dip! My Butterscotch breve is always amazing! And the friendly staff always has a treat for my dog Waffles, so even she loves rolling through the drive through. My family and I ordered a pan of their vanilla flan for my dad's birthday and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious! We will definitely be ordering another for the next special occasion! read more

This is a 5-star restaurant, but it took a long time to get my food- all of my friends were fine by the time mine showed up. That being said, the food was delicious and the ambiance was stellar. read more

The food was ok but the staff would be why I'm not going back. Placed a fairly large order for pick up and waiting in store for it. When we left we passed out the food in the car just to realize was didn't have an item. We turned around and went back we weren't even gone for 2 mins, the lady at the front was like what and I said I was missing the item, they looked it up like I didn't order it and said oh. Took out the sandwich slapped it open and put it in the oven and said here. At least they heated this one up nothing else in my bag that should've been warmed up was. Biggest waste of $75 read more

Such a cute coffee shop and bakery! The lady behind the counter was very friendly. We chose the strawberry and cream cheese croissant, Nutella finger, and a caramel macchiato, all were delicious!! I would recommend this little spot to anyone coming through Livingston. While we enjoyed our treat and coffee, my daughter played Cornhole while we enjoyed sitting on the patio. read more

Food was great. It was a cute place with good vibes. The service was quick and friendly.

Beautiful French European style restaurant-bakery like nothing else In Livingston. From freshly baked French baguette and croissants to amazing French onion soup and salads ( they blow me away when they gave me ranch dressing that's made in house just wow not a cheap dressing as any other restaurant). As someone who ate all over the world this place deserves more than 5 stars! Great job and highly recommended read more

This is my first negative review on yelp. Great pastries but I ordered a breakfast sandwich and there was not enough jam for my taste. I asked for more and was told I could buy a bottle but they didn't have any. There's no CONDIMENTS.....PERIOD!! So if you like your sandwich dry it's a great place to eat. read more

Only sorry we didn't eat lunch here. Everything we touched was delicious. I ate the Pear Tart that really was delightful. The blue berry cake dish was fabulous. If you love high end sweets, this is your place. One note: It would have been nice to have creamer for coffee near the water and tea station. read more

I stopped in this morning, drive thru. Ordered 2 different items off of the menu and was told that had neither item. If you are going to post items on your menu then make them available to customers or remove them from your menu. read more

My husband and I had the absolute PLEASURE of stopping in for a coffee and croissant, as it was recommended to us we try...hadn't even finished the croissant before I was back up at the counter to bring home not just one, but two sandwiches for later along with two deserts I originally had no plan in getting....needless to say, everything was beyond our expectations and we have found a new favorite place to go!!! Trust me, you not just want to go there, you NEED to!!!!! read more

If you want a luxury for your taste buds, this is the place to eat. It's indulgent without guilt because you can tell you're eating the highest quality ingredients. This is the best French bakery I've ever eaten at in the US, and it's so refreshing to have such a satisfying dining experience since I moved here from the city. This is my new favorite restaurant. read more

The cutest place with the BEST pastries and food. Wish I lived closer, I'd be here every day
