I come to Lake Charles a few times a month for work, and this is now my office-away-from-home. I always order the spiced chai w/ 2 shots of espresso, and that is always superb. This is the type of coffee shop you would find in a much larger, much funkier town. I'm glad I found it and recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for an intellectual, cool vibe that also serves as a great place to work (fast wifi, good environment) read more

If you love coffee and look for independent shops when you travel, don't get your hopes up or go out of your way for this place. Hand-poured coffee tasted pretty gross. Cold brew was OK...definitely just OK. "Fruit" Smoothies are made from super, super sweet fruit syrup mush stuff. Dusty inside and smelled like a fryer. My hair still smells like fried food. There were 10 or so patrons in the place who seemed to be enjoying themselves, so it may be a good place to go if you live in Lake Charles, but if you're just passing through hoping for that "gem" of a local coffee shop, keep driving. read more

I came in today and watched a customer be completely ignored by the barista behind the counter the brunette barista helped him and apologized tremendously only to then be yelled at by who I assume is her manager for being "extremely unprofessional". I didn't believe it was the brunette being "unprofessional" but instead the girl with the glasses who completely blew off a customer to get off of her shift a few minutes early. The sweet brunette is always there when I go, smiling, happy, and extremely kind. It's sad to see such a light be brought to tears by her superior for a mistake I don't believe was her own and then quietly continue her work alone with nobody else there to help. Her and her happiness is the reason I always come back and to see her cry absolutely shattered my heart. read more

This is a cool place to stop by, have a coffee, get some reading done and check out some local artwork. When I stopped by, there were a couple of businessmen collaborating, a mom with her kids and two tweens spending their time working on some art. I will definitely stop by again when in Lake Charles read more

Found this lil gem on Yelp and so glad we did. We had a croissant breakfast sandwich, with all things vegetarian on it, biscuits and gravy, one of their specialty coffees, a mango smoothie and then two muffins to-go. Everything was great. There was a musical talent entertaining us and lots of cool art and ceramics to admire. Service was great. Def a place to swing by if you're in the area and want some tasty breakfast treats. read more

If you want a small coffee shop downtown with some of the best coffee around, then his is the place to go! All of the sandwiches are great, along with any selection of coffee. Everything is made fresh and you can even call in orders and pick them up if you are in a rush. If you want to skip the big brands and go with someone local check this place out. If you order a sandwich, ask for it to be made with "extra love." read more

Stellar Beans - A turkey sandwich, "made with love." - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

Love the staff! Chelsea is super friendly and I love talking to her! It's so cool that she owns the yoga studio next door as well. Their drinks are really good too! I get a mocha and sit and work on my writing. It's super peaceful. read more

Interesting vibe inside. Dog friendly. Nice people but slow service. Coffee was alright.

I had the sugar free chocolate in my gluten free organic coffee with a milk alternative. It was delicious and the barista was full of smiles! The owners are delightful. No other place to get a coffee in my book. read more

Great locally sourced coffee and matcha. Relaxing atmosphere and a surprisingly large and delicious menu for a coffee shop. The steller stack is pretty .. um...stellar! A must stop on my annual visit to Lake Charles. read more

pretty cool place the food was very tasty and the atmosphere was nice and calm. free wifi of course. It was a cool place and if your looking to soak up a lil wifi and have a nice tea of coffee this is a good place. read more

Stellar Beans - OMG!....SO YUMMY! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

Only complaint is that hours said they close at 8pm. Worked late and went for a coffee run at 7:40p... not a soul in sight. I get if there's no one there they might close... I was just super disappointed. Mentioned it the next day when I stopped by, "I came around 7:30p, but you guys were closed."... she just said "yea" nonchalantly. Call before you go at night.. read more

I absolutely LOVE this coffee house!! The people are wonderful and the atmosphere is electric!! I feel like I'm in another place in time. Don't pass this place up, you'll seriously regret it. read more

Stellar Beans - I absolutely LOVE this coffee house!! The people are wonderful and the atmosphere is electric!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

came here yesterday, coffee and tea were good. cool environment and katelyn is super cool! Will be back!

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. I got the matcha green tea latte and asked for it to be sweet .. needless to say it was the best I've ever had. Love this hidden gem and will be back! read more

Wow where do I start. If you don't feel like paying 12 dollars for one egg, three pieces of spinach, unmelted cheese, and half a strip of bacon, then I highly recommend you do not go here. Furthermore, you are required to tip the cashier in order to finish your transaction. All in all I could have made a much better breakfast in the comfort of my own home; waste of time, gas, and money I could have used to tip an actual waitress. read more

Coffee is priced really well and tastes phenomenal. They offer many flavor syrups to add to your coffee.

Driving through Lake Charles and stopped to get something quick. BEST Chai Tea Latte ever! (I got spiced but you could also get vanilla or sugar-free vanilla.) read more

Yum amazing coffee. Treats and worth getting off the hwy for mmmmmmmm. Cute old brick building. Pleasant staff read more

Stellar Beans - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

See all

It's an awesome looking coffee shop in downtown Lake Charles. It has eclectic furniture & interiors are decorated with local art on sale. Atmosphere is quiet and laid back for you to work on a project or just kick back and enjoy your delicious coffee. They have a wide variety of coffee & teas. The sandwich selection is ample and all of them are freshly made - I have been there 4 times tried chicken salad sandwich, croissant, breakfast sandwich and breakfast casserole - all good! Try their Mayan mocha and cherry blossom tea, both were great tasting! A tip ask for less sugar if you like your drinks not too sweet, the coffee artists will try their best to customize their signature drinks for you per your taste. A shout out to their excellent service, very pleasant! read more

I have never paid this much for coffee in my life and I live in NYC. $6 for a small iced red eye.

Hands down the best cup of coffee ever. Get the stellar coffee!. The strength of the coffee is perfect. Plus they have the creamiest blend of milks. So good. I highly recommend this place. read more

One more in the long list of coffee shops that you should avoid in the afternoon unless you prefer coffee that has been sitting in the carafe since the A.M. Zero smiles from the employees. How do they survive? read more

If you love a great coffee shop then Stellar Beans is the place for you!! It's so welcoming when you walk in and it's a great space to hang out with a friend or alone. I just stopped in for a cold brew coffee while passing through town, and honestly I wish we would have had time to stay a while. The ladies who work here are fabulous! I had a few questions about some of the drinks and they took the time to explain plus made recommendations. I really appreciated the time they gave me and I never felt rushed to make my decision on what to order. In the end I ordered a cold brew coffee for my friend and myself. I asked for the cream on the side which meant I had too much to carry back to the car, but one of the ladies helped me carry everything to the car which was so unexpected and very much appreciated. The cold brew here at Stellar Beans is just that it's stellar!!! It's so good it makes me wish I didn't live 3 hours away. I know for sure whenever I pass through Lake Charles I'll be stopping for coffee here, and hopefully one day I'll have some extra time to hang out for a while. If you haven't already been here give them a try and I'm sure you won't regret it!! read more

I'm a Lake Charles native and recently went back for a visit. I was staying downtown and craving beignets for breakfast, and a search turned up Stellar Beans. I'm very glad it did! It has the casual, funky atmosphere of an established city place, but still features a few Louisiana standbys you can't get just anywhere (believe me, beignets are not on the menu of my current neighborhood coffee shop). The cafe au lait was excellent, just the right temperature and strength. The beignets, while not world-class (I suspect they were made from a mix), were hot and fresh and absolutely satisfied my craving. It was mid to late morning on a Saturday, so the place was bustling, but never felt cramped or crowded. Definitely on the list for my next trip. read more

There isnt much to do in lake charles yet this place you wont find anywhere else, awesome staff, good coffees and expressos, and the best veggie sandwich you ll ever try read more

Stellarbeans was recommended as "a nice artsy place to grab a coffee." I have to say the staff and owners were absolutely lovely. Very funny and personable. The coffee shop had a nice relaxed vibe to it and they had some gluten free options that I really appreciated. The coffee was awesome..as was the art work- inside and out. I have a lot of respect for businesses that support their community. I'd definitely stop back to say hi and grab a bite. Thanks, y'all! (: read more

Stellar Beans is an awesome place! I don't like coffee or tea, but I ask for a frozen hot chocolate and can get a flavor added because of the flavors that can be added to the coffee or tea. The food is also delicious. You might expect food like at Starbucks, but when the kitchen is open (which is most of the time when the store is open), the food is made fresh! The sandwiches on croissants are mouth watering! Their bagels are also very good! The chocolate dessert is so rich that it can easily be shared among two to three people, if not more! That atmosphere there is wonderful! It inspires creativity and community. Stellar Beans also hosts many art, literature, and music events that keep the town alive! read more

Ordered a Frozen Matcha and Black Lava Cake.... to die for!!!!! Amazing. Peaceful atmosphere. Great staff. 5 star worthy

Stellar Beans is a cute little coffee shop right in downtown Lake Charles. I loved the atmosphere and how cozy it was. My hubby and I went in on a Sunday afternoon. There were only a couple patrons, but a long line at the counter. The wait was ridiculous. I think they only had maybe 2 people working the entire restaurant... and that included being a cook, barista, and cashier. I think we waited 15 minutes just to order, then another 10 for food, then another 10 for our coffees. I wasn't too thrilled with the food quality, and the coffee was just ok. read more

The iced coffee here is comparable to some of the best I have had. This place has a cool/trendy environment and a neat little lounge area.

This coffee shop is so cute and cool and hip! The girl that helped us at the counter was beyond friendly and very helpful! We're just passing through on our way home and I'm so glad we found Stellar Beans. The breakfast sandwiches could have been a little hotter, they were on the cooler side of warm but the taste was great! The stellar iced coffee was delicious!! We'll be back here for sure the next time we're in Lake Charles. read more

Food was cold. My wife's meal didn't even come out. They eventually told us the fryer was broke. Won't be back

Never knew Lake Charles had a downtown. Coffee shop was quite cute, we went to check out an Irish Folk singer. Haven't had a Snicker Doodle coffee in years so I was pretty excited to see it on their menu. Coffee was very good. There were unique local art hanging throughout their walls which I liked. I also liked the different art on each table top. There were couches comfy chairs you can sit, games, books. Seems like a great spot for coffee and hang with friends. Not too sure about their food menu but from what I saw at the tables next to me for the price it just seemed small and should be more appetizing. I'm sure the flavor is good but presentation didn't look interesting. read more

now i am not the biggest coffee fan, or know when an espresso pill is *just* right. but this place made me absolutely LOVE dirty chai's. i tried it for the first time and absolutely fell in love with espresso, and the drink as a whole. since then i've tried getting it from a handful of local and chain places and nothing beats stellar beans. well done!!! read more

I love the atmosphere - the great food. It is a fabulous place to be. Do yourself a favor and stop by as soon as you can.

Just passing through Lake Charles and decided we needed a pit stop. Originally was looking for a Starbucks (just because it's easy) but so happy we found this first!! Their coffee looks amazing, but what most impressed me was the wide selection of tea! read more

Walked in 10 minutes before close to be informed that they had dumped their coffee and turned off their espresso machine due to so few customers in the last hour. Zero customer service, hardly an apology, no offer to make it up to me. I'm no business owner, but I generally don't think this is a wise business practice. I came in ready to spend money and get caffeine; I left angry and empty-handed. read more

Love this coffee shop! Came here on a cold day for a warm drink. Staff was friendly. There was a music artist there at the time because the coffee shop is trying to promote local talent (yay!) and she was wonderful. Very courteous crowd. Drinks were great. Plenty of seating. read more
