Stella's Coffee Haus

I adore Stella's. It has been a while since I have stopped by, but I bought some friends by Friday morning. We all tried something off of the fall menu & everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I hope to eventually try everything this fall.

My wife, adult son and I visited this coffee shop in Denver yesterday afternoon and we had a very pleasant, relaxing coffee experience! My wife and I had never been to this coffee shop before. The shop was on a very popular street in Platt Park in Denver, Pearl Street, parking was a bit of a challenge to find and had 2-hour parking limits within a couple blocks away, the outside was interesting with a big porch and deck with seating everywhere around tables with big umbrellas and portable heater units to keep you warm when it's cold, a nice serving areas with all kinds of hot and old beverages (including coffee, of course), food, pastries, sandwiches, etc., friendly baristas, excellent service, good coffee though it was strong, a ton of seating in multiple rooms that seemed to keep going and going, seating on the side of the building, a back entrance with a small, private parking area, free WiFi, and a clean restroom that didn't smell.

The few other reviewers that mentioned that this is a "working coffee shop/cafe" are completely right. The patrons that sit inside are all students or professionals hard at work. If you are looking for a place to grab a cup of coffee or tea and chat with friends inside, this is probably not the place for you as it is also often hard to find seating. If the weather is nice, there are a few seating spots outside where you can enjoy conversing.With that being said, the coffee here is always amazing. It is about $5-$6 for a large cup of coffee (Chagaccino Latte and the seasonal specials [Citrus Got Real for springtime] are my favorite) depending on what you order and everything I've ordered here has been a hit.I also really enjoy walking around Pearl St with my coffee. During the daytime, there are nice boutique shops and pretty homes to look at. During the nighttime, it is a safe and peaceful area to walk around.

I love this coffee shop. The baristas are so nice, their drinks are delicious, and there is lots of room to sit. They have multiple rooms that lead into one another full of locally made art, people studying, and comfortable seating. The ambiance is warm and inviting. I did get some grumpy stares from nearby studiers while I quietly talked to my friend, but that's more on those particular people than Stellas. Maybe they could do a quiet room and a chatting room like they do on trains sometimes? Just an idea, but I love love this coffee shop and will be coming back many times :).

I'm sitting at one of Stella's comfortable sunny tables, sipping a tasty cafe au lait. My laptop, connected to their pretty fast WiFi, sits open in front of me, my unfinished essay glaring at me while I Yelp. I like Stella's- it's been a really long time since I've been here but it's go to be back. I love all of the different rooms and the art on the brightly painted walls and the box of free books across from me. The patios are nice and so are the staff.

Crowded yet very quiet coffee house.Had the mixed chai. Tasty but a little too sweet for me. Mixed is sweet and spicy, I'll go full spicy next go around.

A south denver landmark. Quintessential coffee shop setting and vibe. Plenty of indoor seating. Plenty of outdoor seating (with heaters)! Great coffee. A handful of tasty eats. They also serve alcohol. Friendly staff. Open latte! Lots of cool restaurants and shops on the same street. If you're visiting, or new to, Denver, Stellas and South Pearl Street are must visits .

A regular haunt of mine, and highly recommended for anyone in the area. Stella's makes a wonderful drink (get their homemade syrups if you can--it's on another level!) Even walking in the shop feels like I'm on a nostalgic day trip with a childhood best friend. it oozes with cozy, eclectic ambiance, with little rooms filled with tables of friends to be made, and walls loaded with local art, or books, or sticky note doodles. and... quite possibly the most important part: its open late! a great stop for a book club, an afternoon of work, or an after dinner decaf when you step out of one of the many restaurants nearby.

As much as many adore this neighborhood coffee shop (and I must say that I am one of those people), the most recent experience at Stella's was quite disappointing. It wasn't the service; it was the quality of the iced tea I got and it was none other than the Dream Tea. Yes, I did ask for some minor modifications/adjustments to it: less sweetness which I think the barista poured less (whatever the) syrup that's part of the tea's ingredients but when it came out the tea looked very white where there was barely any trace of tea visibly seen or even tasted in it at all. As a matter of fact, it tasted so bland to the point where I couldn't even finish it (so I threw out more than half of it.)I did notify them by writing a quick note in the reply function attached to the electronic receipt to which they never responded back. Very disappointing....Now I know what not to order going forward.

Even this once beautiful place has forgotten what a macchiato is. .. lovely that they want to shade you for asking for a proper drink. They still screw up a coffee. Yes we are talking espresso with a "dallop" of frothed foam. Espresso was not burnt. That's a plus. .
