Stella's, on Old South Pearl Street, draws coffee-lovers, especially those who like to have their dogs along with them on the patio (where water bowls are provided). It also appeals to music lovers who appreciate the way local coffee and local music pair up. Local artwork is hung on the walls, with artists rotating in and out. All of that makes Stella's a very community oriented establishment in the best tradition of coffeehouses. Stella's coffee is roasted locally by Pablo's, and patrons who drink decaf will want to know that the decaf espresso is created with an all-natural water process. If you want to ensure a place to sit for morning coffee, it's best to arrive before 8:30 a.m., and free WiFi makes it easy to stay connected.
