QUAINT AND CHARMING is STEWART'S BISTRO. A family business led by Leanne which greets us with a warm and kind smile each and every time. The FOOD IS AMAZING and the AMBIENCE IS COZY and UNIQUE. They have the BEST COFFEE in town. Thank you for making this our place to go for breakfast! It has become our family tradition!!! read more

Best breakfast spot in Wake Forest for littles! We don't go out to eat near as often as we used to because we never know how long the kids are going to behave but this play corner was a winner! They were so excited to be able to "cook and make coffee" at a restaurant and kept talking about it after we left. I wish I had gotten more food photos but these days I seem to always have a kid on my lap so I get what I get. The chicken biscuit was delicious and came with a side of honey but I ordered a side of sausage gravy to top it with and it was perfection! They have a pretty large menu with something for everyone and a lot of amazing sounding coffee drinks! I can't wait to go back and visit for lunch as well. Everyone there was very and helpful! read more

Best coffee place around! From sweet customer service and a real homey feel to great fresh made food!

Local coffee shop with a great breakfast/brunch choice to satisfy that breakfast craving. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich was my choice and it was good. I ordered cheddar cheese this time, but would recommend ordering the pimento cheese, as I saw this was an option on the menu. Great local small town coffee shop. read more

Quaint family place. Great food with plenty of leftovers. Fast service and people were friendly.

It is set up for you to wait in line to order instead of being seated. It's a cute layout inside but they are motivated for people to not relax. Definitely has a rushed vibe. The food was good but basic. I was expecting more charm and ambiance. read more

The coffee, muffins, dishes and warm Carolina hospitality are absolutely delightful! God Bless Stewart's!

The food was fantastic. The service was great. The ambiance was amazing. We loved it here.

Finally stopped in and was surprised of the display of God. Needed a spot like this. A place were God is in everything and displayed with no fear; the people, staff, food. A very peaceful atmosphere. Ordered french toast and orange juice. Comfort food is always good. They have turkey sausage if you do not want pork. They don't have wifi at the moment but will be getting it soon. Looking forward to returning. God bless! read more

Always wanted to try but they close pretty early. Finally got a chance today - no school and for a leisurely meal. Nice and quiet. Chicken salad on a croissant- pretty good. Am I the only one who complain too much chicken I guess I like a bit more celery in it. But really good as is. Burger was huge but my son loved it Next time if I can be early I will try some those breakfast items. read more

The staff was friendly, but the food I had was just so-so. My friend did like her pancakes.

The ambiance here is so warm and inviting. The bistro walls are covered with uplifting messages of faith and hope. Everyone greeted us with a smile and provided exceptional customer service. My girlfriend didn't have the best morning, but the customer service here from Leanne (the owner) and ALL the staff really lifted her spirits. I had the Creme Brûlée latte which was a perfect blend of vanilla and caramel; sweet but not overpowering. It was perfect for this chilly winter day! I also really appreciated the wide variety of dairy free options that they had for my girlfriend. She ordered a dark hot chocolate and they had both oat milk and almond milk dairy alternatives! She tried it with oat milk and loved it. For our meal I ordered the French Toast and my girlfriend ordered the pancakes. The French Toast was the perfect texture (not too soft or hard) and tasted delicious. I love that they provided real maple syrup. My girlfriend said her pancakes were absolutely delicious and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I really appreciate that even though the restaurant was packed, Leanne took the time to have a conversation with me and make sure that I had a 5 star experience. We will definitely be back very soon for another amazing experience and to try some more of the menu items! read more

I went there for the first time since the pandemic. They had remained closed for dine in until recently. This is a place where you order at the counter and then pick a table where the waitstaff will bring you your food. The place is clean and well staffed (at this time). The interior has a nice exposed brick wall by the counter and the storefront windows allow for a lot of light to come in. The owners are present and always friendly and accommodating. The food here is really good. It's fresh, consistent and always comes out hot. The "cawfee" is really good and I believe they use Carborro Coffee Roasters. They offer breakfast all day and begin to offer the lunch items at 11am. We are a fans of this place. Like I said the food is always good here and they have a nice menu to choose from. Just be mindful that wait times, especially on weekends, can be a little long, so get there early as the line can go out the door. read more

I don't know how we didn't find this gem sooner! Our large family stopped in on the weekend and grabbed some breakfast in this cute shop. There was a play kitchen for our kids to pretend serving us as we waited for our food and the lady behind the counter even gave us the table next to it so we could sit by the kids playing. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious- my kids ate their plates CLEAN y'all! My husband and I grabbed some coffees - they were one of the best latte and cappuccino we have had in the area and I can be admittedly quite picky with coffee. We love supporting local and we also love supporting small Christian businesses. You will find decor with bible verses everywhere and it's overall such a wonderful and peaceful feeling when you walk in. We will definitely be back!! read more

After not coming here for a while during the pandemic - and never posting a negative review on Yelp - I have to say this place has gone WEIRD? I'm happy if you have found god... but they have turned the decor into a VERY intense "push my faith on you"place. The food is mediocre and expensive too by the way. I spent $19.60 (w/tip) for cold toast, overcooked eggs, and harsh coffee. Too bad a local place has decided they needed to preach to their customers. So weird (& a bit scary)! read more

I've ordered a breakfast sandwich and coffee at Stewarts Bistro. Nice big portion. Very tasty. The host is nice. The coffee is good and strong and fresh tasting. I would return to try other meals here. read more

Mother's Day 2025 was our first time eating here. For it to be such a special day our dining experience wasn't at all. Definitely would not recommend ordering chicken of any kind unless you are prepared to eat a frozen, processed chicken patty. Our waitress was extremely rude and left our drinks dry, making it hard to swallow the less than average food. We won't be back! read more

This place is awesome. The atmosphere is chill and the staff is super nice. Ordered a Ruben sandwich and a coffee which were delicious. Finished with a "poptart" that was made from scratch. A dream! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Excellent service great breakfast! The food was delivered to the table very quickly. Would highly recommend.

While the menu is limited, we never have any issues with our meals; great coffee selections; the owners and staff are always friendly; while the place looks small, they provide indoor and outdoor seating and makes it easy to get a table. read more

Came in with my son and his family for Sunday lunch. Service was great. Food was fresh and flavorful. They have limited seating so enjoy your dinner and make a place for the next guests, I had a sugar free coffee beverage on the way out, it was delicious read more

Updated review March 2025: I am not a fan of Stewarts. It seemed cute at first, but then they started giving weird vibes. It doesn't feel as light & friendly & welcoming to all as it used to feel. The food is adequate, but the decor, verbage & messaging has been really off-putting in the past few years. It doesn't seem like a cute little local place anymore safe for everyone to visit. It's started to give me, "the ick". read more

NGL, breakfast is my husband's and I favorite meal to eat out, but we tend to be a bit particular. We prefer small, local, delicious, friendly, attentive, and clean. While visiting my sister recently we happened on a gem called Stewart's Bistro. From the stellar service, kind staff, delicious breakfast and lunch - yes, it was our meal go to for over a week! I highly recommend any type of latte because they're just delicious. Aside from all mentioned, I'd be remiss if I failed to mention my favorite part - the ambiance. Specifically, the warmth, atmosphere, and most of all the people. Stewart's Bistro is a true gem. You may find a wait at times but it's well worth it. Good eats! read more

You cannot go wrong here. read more

Same great quality every time and amazing food. The staff is always so friendly as they know a lot of the customers by name. Do yourself a favor and check out Stewart's Bistro! read more

Really a 3,5 star I was expecting a little more. Got the French press coffee and chicken and waffles. French press was good nothing wow. Was really good presentation I did like the fact that the cup was hot when delivered. However didn't quite fill up the cup with coffee. Chicken and waffles was underwhelming presentation horrible, round 4 piece waffle broken in half with a fried chicken patty in middle Waffle was good tasting. Not much can be said about it. The chicken was horrible. Very small prebreaded thin dry patty. Definitely wouldn't recommend the chicken and waffles. Place was ok for ambiance, tables outside sticky. I'd probably go back mainly BC it's a local place and try something different. read more

GO!!! My second time coming here and tried the shrimp and grits & french toast. A1! K sat outside to eat and multiple people walked by saying that my food looked good and it was gooood.

For being there as a recommendation. Not knowing what to expect. Limited seating, which gives it more of an intimate experience. The menu is up on a board. Simple an good down home food listed. The staff was not only helpful, patient, and courteous? They also made recommendations to pair with what I ordered. I ordered the half pound Angus burger, an fries. The grilled cheese, and a Ceaser's salad. The buyer was cooked to perfection. Had the proper ingredients in seasoning and juicy! For me, that's a must! The cheese was a great golden brown. This is my first time, an definitely not my last. read more

When I moved to the area in 2021 we started ordering take out from here and it was nothing short than spectacular. This is a family owned business and a very cute and quaint spot. However, there are a couple of things that have changed since then. The food is always great but portions and prices are very different. The coffee is not consistent and really depends who is there that day. From the taste to the artistry you can definitely tell the difference. Last time I ordered coffee I couldn't even drink it. It could have been an off day but for the price I paid for 4 people, things should be consistent. If the new prices match the consistency and portions it would be 5 stars for me. read more

Came for breakfast at the recommendation of a coworker. (I just recently moved to wake forest) this is probably the best breakfast and coffee I have had so far and we will definitely be back soon !! Food was excellent and service was outstanding read more
