I love cafe hopping, and there's so many new coffee shops in LA. I still hate driving in LA, but I was overdue for a visit.
Check-in: Make sure to check in on Yelp to receive 10% off your entire purchase!
Parking: They're located in business building. There is a parking structure on the right in the corner near Stella when turning onto Commodore Sloat Dr. Unfortunately for me, this parking structure is closed on Sundays. I luckily found free 2 hour street parking on Commodore.
Ambiance/Environment: The exterior is very cute. They have a medium sized space with modern, clean, and Stella-like decor. If you didn't get the hint, this coffee shop is named after their Frenchy Stella. I love that this shop is pet friendly. They have couches and tables with some outdoor seating. They also sell merch from clothing to custom dog tags.
Service: I didn't their names, but the female barista that took our order was absolutely sweet and the male barista was very knowledgable about the menu. Both baristas were quick and efficient.
Food & Drinks:
1) Breakfast Burrito - I was recommended their most popular breakfast items. Their breakfast burrito contains egg, hash brown, diced tomatoes, avocado, cheese and bacon with red and green sauce on the side. It is a bit small compared to your usual burrito size. Though, I really enjoyed it. Everything was cooked well, and it taste like a usual breakfast.
2) Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich - This was another one of their popular breakfast burrito. This contains egg, cheese, bacon, and avocado served in a brioche bun with their house sauce. The brioche bun was fluffy and fulfilling. Everything was also cooked well and taste like a usual breakfast.
3) Wake Me Up - Not only was this drink delicious, but it was aesthetically pleasing. You can clearly see the layers of espresso, milk, and matcha. This drink contains dark chocolate and boba on the bottom layer and topped off with premium matcha. The flavors went well together. The dark chocolate didn't overpower the matcha and wasn't too sweet.
4) Chagaccino - I've noticed mushroom coffee has gained popularity in majority local coffee shops. This is the second chagaccino I've tried. This drink sounds intimidating, but don't worry, it's not actually mushrooms & coffee. Their version is definitely bitter sweet; the coffee flavor is stronger but the after taste is sweet. Not too overly sweet.
Pricing: This is LA .. of course prices are high. I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and fun drinks.
