Stellar Brew & Natural Cafe

Don’t believe the hype! This place sucks! Vons grade bagels, rotten yogurt parfaits that take 30 minutes when it’s the easiest thing to make. This happened when it was slow too. It’s absolute garbage painted to look pretty. TRENDY MENU, TRASH FOOD

Went here thanks to 4.5 stars google reviews but was not expecting this much line. Was there at 7:30 am, google says opens at 7 am and the line was already from cashier to way past the door. Should have announced that as early as 530 am, the cafe is open. I even saw in their menu that from 5:30-7:30 they offer happy hour - cup of coffee free for order of breakfast sandwich Speciality coffees were tasty especially the stellar brûlée, however, the food took more than 30 mins for a bagel cheese egg. I even asked the tall guy in flannel shirt if they called in my order and his reply was so annoying, “oh you have to wait more” I guess they were lacking staff and overwhelmed with lots of customers. Like i said I arrived there at 7:30 and went out at 8:50 am. The long wait ruined the vibe, as the interior itself looked cute and cozy, with hammered copper pendant lights, rustic seating and even with free board games First and last visit, the price for breakfast burrito , bomber bagel, matcha latte medium and stellar brûlée came to almost 50 usd. Not worth the wait and to be honest , kinda overrated.

Such a cozy coffee shop with a fantastic variety of drinks and food options! Whether you’re in the mood for an iced coffee, smoothie, or a protein shake, they have it all. Their menu also includes delicious sandwiches, desserts, and even local goods like fresh eggs, healthy juices, and natural products. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy some great flavors in Mammoth!

I'm visiting Mammoth Lakes for the month of June, and having that local spot to sip and chill is important to me. More importantly...do they offer quality whole beans to take home?! Check it out...I found the place. Beans and all. I've tried their Americano and their Cappuccino so far, (I'll be back for sure), both delicious and appealing to the eye. The service has been superb, friendly, and efficient. Cool place to hang, inside or out. Feels very quaint and local, and it appears many of the locals frequent the place. Awesome people watching. Their outside seating perfectly embraces the warm sun and mountain air. Just wonderful! Mountain Town vibe and quality coffee! Highly recommend

I’ve been going here 3 to 5 times a week for almost a year. The staff is friendly, and welcoming. The place feels community oriented and magical inside. My favorite go to spot💛💛✨, and on busy days you dont have to wait in line and can pay via venmo for their grab and go burritos/sandwiches and coffee.

The cafe is too good the interiors and everything looks awesome. Less option in veg food But mocha coffee was really good Nice place and ambience.

While visiting Mammoth stopped today evening on Xmas day for coffee while returning back to home in LA, barista was very nice (don’t know his name) , and the whole place was cute with nice merchandise, my only complaint was stale banana almond bread pudding that was the sign and I ordered to go, but not only it was dry, stale like it was left out uncovered and dried, he probably gave me the chocolate bread pudding as it didn’t taste banana or almonds at all, it should not have been offered. It was pricey at $5.50 to go into trash , not edible. Hope they pay attention to stale items before selling them as I couldn’t go back to show them, was already driving out of Mammoth.

We LOVE Stellar Brew!! Our favorite in Mammoth Lakes for their coffee AND great breakfast burritos! Perfect prep for a day outdoors!

The Venmo and go option is genius for an early day on the slopes. My burrito was delicious and fast. 6/5

Food - terrible Service- terrible Ambiance- very mid The breakfast burrito was cold, the eggs were questionable. In addition, we ordered a plain bagel with butter to wait 10 minutes for them to bring out a cold bagel wrapped in plastic. Then when we asked to have it toasted we waited another 15 minutes for them to forget about our bagel, the cashier touched it with his hands only to bring it around the corner to have us toast it ourselves. For the price you pay for food and drinks here I would highly recommend saving your money and going literally anywhere else.

My wife and I love the camp vibe of the shop. We recommend you try their chocolate chip cookie. That thing was bigger than a hockey puck and was delicious. Service was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

Cute little cafe located in Mammoth!! My friends and I came here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The line was out the door but it moved quickly! Workers were friendly & helpful. The inside is small, but there's also plenty of outdoor seating / benches. I got the Bomber Bagel, which was delicious! I chose the everything bagel for my bread. It came with a fried egg, tomato, spinach, cream cheese, and their homemade cilantro pesto. It was honestly the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I don't know what they put in their pesto sauce, but it was SO delicious! I noticed some fresh garlic pieces in there which added so much flavor! I also got the spiced chai latte. It had the perfect amount of spice. Would definitely get both of those again! This place is definitely a must - try on a trip to mammoth.

5 stars to this coffee shop for being open on Christmas Day and serving fresh food and amazing coffee! Breakfast was done right on a snowy, yet sunny day in Mammoth. The warm, generously sized breakfast burritos and the comforting lattes were exactly what we needed. They also offer breakfast sandwiches, which are just as satisfying. The cozy, homey atmosphere and excellent service made this spot stand out, especially when so many other places were closed.

Extremely friendly service. Their bagel breakfast sandwich was absolutely amazing. I had the bombers bagel for breakfast and it was delicious. Very friendly local spot in town. Great for a quick bite to eat.

We always stop here when we're in Mammoth, it's our favorite quick breakfast place. They've up their game with new breakfast offerings and we're here for it!!

$15 breakfast bowl. It was good - fresh Avocado and arugula. Rice was hard and definitely made some days prior... Also, it took forever and despite mentioning I'm eating in, I got this container that was hard to eat from.

The breakfast burritos are very good. The bacon burrito had lots of egg (not just potato filler). They had vegetarian burritos with egg, cheese, and potato. The vegan burritos had tempeh - very delicious. All these burritos are available pre-made in a warm case. Made-to-order burritos are also available. The Morning Glory muffins are large, freshly baked, and amazingly delicious. The bathroom is clean and easy to access. Many locals frequent this coffee shop. The staff are friendly and helpful.

This is a tiny eclectic community space with super delicious coffee and friendly staff. Customers are locals for the most part and it's a beautiful mix of musicians, skiers and families. I ordered the honey latte and it was excellent. A must see if you're in the area! Sadly though, I must remove a star for the somewhat outrageous pricing. Food is super expensive.

This place is excellent and I go here nearly every time I visit Mammoth! The burritos are ready to go, delicious and filling, and their coffee is great! It's always popping with people and the employees are very welcoming.

A little crazy people waiting in line for coffee and food they have stuff premade so you don't have to wait. Really cozy in here people just hanging around also outside they have some picnic benches under some nice shaded trees. I ordered a trail mix coffee drink very sweet and a bread pudding if you order it hot they pour over some hot cream over it. It has fig and honey over it which makes it sweet but the combination makes it taste really good it's really think to. The fig in top gives it a nice flavor.

Great place to get a coffee or bakery. The owner is super nice. Would come back when next time in town

Cute little coffee shop next to the gas station on a main street. The moment you walk in, you can feel that they were going for the homey and welcoming feel. There are board games and guitars that you are encouraged to play with. The staff greets you the moment you come in and are super helpful and kind. I came in to get some joe as I was about to head back home on a 6-hour trek and wanted some caffeine in me. I ordered the trail mix mocha - which, the best way I can describe it is rocky road flavored coffee. It's a bit sweet normally, so be sure to ask for it to be less sweet.

Idk wtf happen to this place, sad.. went in for a burrito friday right before 12 pm.. grabbed my burrito and salsa by the hot case and proceeded to the register. Paid cash, and the women at the register proceeded to slam down the tip jar on the counter before giving me my change, all ones mind you. SHe could've just given me a 5 dollar bill.. that kinda attitude NOBODY is GETTING A TIP. ESPECIALLY if im grabbing my own burrito from a hot cabinet I wish i had accidentally left my go pro on and got that on video. It would've been hilarious. Anyways. I remember this place being so vibrant, happy, warm, and welcoming! Now... idk mammoth do better

I mapped out the local coffee/breakfast places in Mammoth and Stellar Brew kept coming up. I didn't realize that it was so close because it across the road from another spot that our group had been to. When we walked in I realized Stellar catered to backpackers-they had a rather large grab n go section where a lot of pre-made foods were available. It seemed like the only made to order items were the drinks. I'm not a coffee drinker so I went with one of their smoothies as a drink but then got one of their everything bagel breakfast sandwiches from their pre-made section. The smoothie seemed to follow the Jamba juice formula, juice with some fruits thrown in. While the breakfast sandwich was a little on the small side-kind of like their dine-in space. I ended up taking my food outside and finishing my semi-satiating food with the assist of a lot of their packaged Cholula sauces. Maybe the coffee here is good, but if you're looking for a breakfast option that ISN'T quick serve maybe go somewhere else.

I swung by here for breakfast a couple of times while I was in Mammoth last week, and I must say, the food here is top-notch. Their breakfast burritos and bagels are perfect for a quick, tasty morning meal on the go. Both the bagel and burrito were absolutely delicious. On my first visit, I also tried their cocoa mate latte, and it was heavenly--rich, flavorful, and just what I needed to kickstart my day. The staff during that visit were friendly, helpful, and all-around awesome. However, on my second visit, I'm not entirely sure what kind of drink they handed me. It certainly wasn't the Yerba mate latte I had ordered and enjoyed the day before. There was barely any cocoa flavor, and I couldn't even identify the type of tea in it (and it definitely wasn't Yerba in the tea bag). It was so gross that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I'm hoping it was just a one-off mistake--the lady working seemed a bit overwhelmed and not too thrilled to be there that day. Unfortunately, by the time I realized the mistake, we were already halfway down the hill. I'll be back next week when I'm in Mammoth again, and hopefully, my next cocoa mate latte will be just as delicious as the first one I had.

Groovy babyyyy. The perfect way to start a day on the slopes! We recently hit up Stellar Brew while in Mammoth for a group birthday trip. This coffee shop serves up a number of quirky beverages, baked goods, and bites. I ordered the matcha mango beverage, a combination new to my tastebuds. The drink was sweet with an earthy aftertaste. I also got the turkey bagel sandwich, which was loaded with a ton of veggies and fresh thinly sliced turkey. The only bummer was that it was on the dry side. Highly recommend checking out this local artsy coffee shop when you're in the area!

Very reliable coffee. A couple weeks ago I was staying in the village and went to the coffee shop there, but it was awful. I ended up driving over here. This weekend I got coffee from a place in bishop and it was foul, so I stopped at Stellar. Just come here and save yourself the trouble!

went on a trip to mammoth lakes and this was by far my favorite coffee shop in the area! I got the iced stellar brûlée coffee and it was absolutely amazing. def haven't had a good coffee like that in a while. :)

I wanted to go to Elixir for breakfast, but they don't open until 10, and I can't wait to eat that late. So I popped across the street to Stellar instead. Lots of yummy looking things on their menu, but I just picked a premade breakfast burrito out of their "grab and go" case. The price wasn't labeled and it was very small, but sounded good. Then I got to the counter and it rang up as $12.56. I almost fainted, and I would have put it back if I hadn't been too embarrassed to do so. How can such a tiny, little burrito cost so much?!?!? Two weeks later and I'm still appalled. But damn it if that little burrito wasn't the best meal I ate my entire time in Mammoth: mildly spicy, full of flavor, and plenty warm and fresh tasting. Overpriced for sure, but honestly? Worth it for a tasty bite.

all the hot food here is so good and the drinks are delicious and very well made. VERY high quality food. This cafe definitely cares about its community. Not to mention it's so cute! A must stop for sure.

The coffee here is outstanding, and the breakfast was wonderful on a Saturday morning. We loved the bowls and the bagel sandwich. The service is super friendly and helpful, and it was fun hanging out for a bit.

Great way to start a morning! Plenty of coffee and smoothie options and I appreciated the various grab and go food options they had. Surprisingly I really liked the grab and go quinoa salad. Very flavorful and a good way to make sure I get my veggie fix before a hike! Also solid oat milk latte. Note the location is pretty small and seems to be pretty packed so plan on taking to-go or sharing tables if needed.

Great local coffee shop with very good latte's and amazing homemade muffins. Staff were very friendly and the place had a really cool vibe. Highly recommend this spot!

We stopped by a couple times on our recent trip up to Mammoth. We had a trail mix mocha ( lots of flavors going on), and a botanical dirty chai- which was great, a bit more of a mellow chai as opposed to a spicy one. Also had some of the grab and go breakfast burritos. Everything was tasty and we would come back. Local hats and other small gift items too

Best burritos in town (breakfast)! Coffee is a bit pricey, but it's at 9k feet, so worth it every time. Staff is great and bathrooms clean, super chill atmosphere

Coffee & breakfast burritos are delicious. Customer service is great! Always my go to stop for breakfast & drip coffee when I visit mammoth!

Came here for the breakfast burritos after scrolling yelp. The service was just ok. No welcome greeting, friendly recommendations, etc. I ordered a Latte. I ended up throwing it away. ALL milk and foam with no taste or flavor. We snagged two bacon breakfast burritos, which my other half complained "the texture is weird and there no bacon in here". I agreed and felt the eggs were slightly under cooked and the cheese made the burrito feel incredibly soggy. The bacon was on the chewy side. For $38.... We found better local spots.

Tasty breakfast sandwiches and tasty coffee. I am downgrading my previous review from a 5 star to a 4 star because this place has gotten expensive. Additionally, the coffee tastes good, but it's not that strong. The coffee itself is more expensive than Starbucks, and does not have that's coffee "morning kick". The pros: The breakfast sandwiches are tasty. They're essentially a bagel that's buttered, with two fried eggs and either a sausage or bacon. This sandwich kept me full for hours. I went on a 4 hour hike after eating the sandwich, and was still full. The coffee itself is tasty. I do feel like you're paying for a sugary coffee opposed to strong morning coffee. The burritos are good too, you just have to like all the ingredients they put in it. The cons: aside from what's mentioned above, I also think it's expensive. You're paying $15 for a coffee and breakfast sandwich. That's too much in my opinion. The breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos are now premade. You cannot order anything special anymore, whatever is premade in the warmer is it. I still like it so I will return, but not as much as I usually do.

Short answer- "Yes" Longer answer- I have been coming to this place for a few years. I believe right when they opened. It's great to have a small coffee shop. That's different from everyone else in the neighborhood. They have some cool unique stuff inside. Interesting foods. Interesting bakes. They have great breakfast burritos. Fantastic Turkey cranberry salad they have delicious water and great choice in different from other store drinks. I like the difference. I like the uniqueness. This place is definitely a place that needs to be supported by the entire town. Not just visitors. The people inside are always very nice. the ambience is very warm. Kind of homey. Welcoming. Plenty of parking outside. The building is located next to the Chevron gas station and is blue color with white Christmas lights all over it. Go support them. Spend some money. Their black coffee has a unique flavor. Better than Starbucks. Both dark roast and medium roast are great coffees. I've had them both. So go inside and spend some money. This place is cool. You will like it.

Pretty cool coffee & snack spot in Mammoth Lakes! I only had lattes and baked goods on my visits here. Their other food options look great though - including a take-away section. The coffee was good and I enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies & banana muffin (vegan and gluten-free). They do charge $0.75 for non-dairy milk which is always a downer (options of hemp, oat, almond, and... One more I can't recall). Lots of fun merch inside. It's a bit loud inside if you're thinking to work from here. There is outside seating though this place is located on a relatively busy street for Mammoth. I was still able to sit outside and do some work but being on a call when a loud truck rolls by isn't the best :) outside seating is dog-friendly, just leave them outside when ordering inside. Free wifi worked well on my visits here and there is plenty of parking around.

I could eat 3 meals a day at Stellar Brew. When you come in the winter, the first impression is warmth and shelter, a cozy little den to warm up from the cold and wind. My preference is for the Grateful on the Go burritos. The Jalapeño is the best breakfast burrito in the world. I'm not exaggerating. No other breakfast burrito comes close to this mildly spicy comfort food. While eating, you might ask why it tastes so good!? Only after you finish do you discover that you have a lingering taste of onions and garlic, a base for the whole experience that is so subtle that it is not really noticeable until it's over. Grab the Vegan burrito for a tempeh treat that will make the ideal lunch. And don't forget the salsa. It's just right on the heat with a bit of a funky and fermented flavor. The espresso drinks are perfectly crafted by the expert baristas. And the desserts are the ideal reminder that life is sweet. Stellar Brew is my first stop when I arrive in Mammoth Lakes, and my last stop when I leave. Wish I could be there now.

Great cafe in the heart of Mammoth. You can't miss the blue building. They have all kinds of healthy food and snacks here, plus smoothie and coffee and food. They had some nice to go items too-overnight oats, cookies, sandwiches, even kombucha and sparkling water. Fun, local merchandise is sold here--I saw maple syrup, CBD stuff and all kinds of merch with phrases about love . Covid-friendly outdoor seating too. Lots of parking. Friendly staff! Give them a visit when you're in Mammoth (or if you're a local of course)!

Daughters said infinity stars out of five. Pastries are really good, smoothies were awesome. LOVE their community/environmental ethos of remaining breakfast items being reduced price and even free at end of day.

COVID review: they are open! Seems like a lot of the places in Mammoth aren't updated during COVID so be aware of closing times and such. Anyway, this place follows COVID guidelines. They have a max number of people allowed in the store at a time. They have outdoor seating. A private lot to park in. Everything is organic and they have vegan options as well. I liked that they had a big selection of stuff compared to similar places. One thing they don't have is straws but they sell metal and bamboo straws for about a dollar each. So it was a little awkward drinking my ice blended drink through a hole but it was still fine. I got the white chocolate blended coffee drink with extra sugar. Definitely hit the spot. Normally I like coffee bean drinks, so this was a good sub. Came here twice during my trip. Friends liked what they got too, one got a smoothie and the other got another coffee drink. Would go here again.

The preprepared food is good, I've tried breakfast burritos and a couple of wraps at this point. Their coffee is sufficient. Far from being the best in town, but it's drinkable. The staff are the main reason it's 3 stars. Consistently clueless. Every time I've been there the attitude is they have no desire to be working there and simple questions seem to inconvenience them because 5hey have no idea what's going on.

Coffee is trash, milk over steamed. Muffins cold and hard even though they claim to be made that morning. The owner sucks and it shows with the high turn over they have.

Amazing vibe, tasty mocha, protein shake, and got a sweet tie-die shirt made by the cute Lady behind the counter. Oh and the bagel breakfast sandwich rocked! I would definitely go back next time I float through Mammoth

I really like their coffee. Funky little hole in the wall hippy vibe which is kinda fun, and although I've never tried it, the food looks good too.

Came for weekday coffee. I tried the trail mix mocha. The cashier said it had chocolate, coconut and almonds. It was very tasty. I would recommend. I also tried the almond butter açaí bowl. This was huge definitely will feed 2 people. It was delicious and lots of crunch with the chia seeds. There were breakfast burritos also available in the refrigerated case. There is plenty of seating and tables outside as well that is pet friendly.

Outstanding coffee, wonderfully delicious bagels, burritos and wraps. Best food we had in Mammoth. Dog friendly seating outside. We will be back!

Perfect coffee shop for a mountain pick me up! I have gone every time I've been to mammoth and I've always been pleasantly surprised. This time I was coming post ski and just grabbed a quick latte and to-go salad. However, in the am they have breakfast burritos, bagels, and bowls which everyone in my group loved when we went this past summer! Also something to note is that they have a ton of gluten free dairy free options! The pastry case always had gluten free treats which I look forward to :) definitely gets a little packed in the morning but the staff is quick and efficient!

This is my go to spot for breakfast burritos and coffee. Super delicious and staff is really nice as well.

Yum! Excellent coffee! This is the only place in Mammoth I can recommend getting coffee or espresso drinks! And their food is good too. We like the Açaí bowl and #6 breakfast sandwich. This is always my first choice for breakfast in Mammoth! Very lovely vibe.

The baristas are knowledgeable and helpful. It's quiet and comfortable. The locals visit often, or at least the few times I've been here. Its just cool.

I really didn't like the açaí bowl. It had been pre-prepared so the fruits that should be fresh were frozen. The only thing that was fresh was the banana. Also, when açaí is blended and then refrozen, it loses the smooth spoonable consistency that this dish really needs. And not that it's a big deal, the syrup drizzle was absent. I had also ordered a bomber bagel which was pretty good. I liked the cilantro pesto take which was nice. My only complaint here was that the cream cheese wasn't spread out. So underneath all this goodness is a blob of cream cheese. Thought that was weird. Really nice looking shop though. Looking forward to going back for coffee.

Grabbed a pre made breakfast bagel sandwich to go before starting a backpacking trip and it exceeded my expectations! Super delicious especially for being pre made. Place was poppin before 8am! Super cute local spot.

We came over here after Schat's had nothing vegetarian.. I was a little skeptical of a premade breakfast burrito, but even my bf commented on how good they were... not even just for premade. Extremely filling and the eggs were cooked just right. My only regret is that I already got coffee and couldn't try the Yerba chai Cozy spot, cuties behind the counter. Thanks!
