If you're looking for a true taste of France in Livingston, Stella's is it. The pastries are…read moreabsolutely gorgeous--artisanal, delicate, and made with a level of craftsmanship you rarely find outside of Europe. They don't offer gluten-free options, but they do use flour imported directly from France, which is very different from U.S. flour. According to the staff, no one has ever had an issue with gluten intolerance here, which makes their approach unique and worth noting. The coffee is just as impressive. I always judge a coffee shop by its Americano, and Stella's passes the test--smooth, bold, and simple, the way it should be. Overall, a beautiful little French bakery with pastries that are almost too pretty to eat (almost ) and coffee that makes you want to linger a little longer. A gem for Livingston!

Amazing! I said "Wow!" with my very first bite of the feta quiche. The bakery is cute. The young…read morewoman at the counter was exceptionally friendly and helpful and offered interesting information about the food and business, and she showed a high level of enthusiasm and engagement. The pastries had a gorgeous presentation and delightful flavors to match. The crusts for the quiches were perfection. The pastries we tried had an incredibly fresh croissant texture and wonderful flavor. The coffee blend and tea blend were delightful. Our only critique was that the Quiche Lorraine was a little saltier than we prefer. We're visiting from Atlanta but hope to get by here at least one more time and try more menu items before we return home.

There were more employees than customers, and several of them seemed to be in a bad mood. The food was decent, but also priced kind of high for the quality and portions. Perhaps the most annoying part is that we were overcharged. At that point, I was just ready to get out of there and paid my bill and left.

The service was, meh!, in that if you were a local you got good service, but it was my first time there and was pretty much ignored.

But this place is seriously so delicious. I had the pleasure of having the entire restaurant to myself it was nice and cool, good in escaping that Texas heat. I ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, potatoes, onions, cheese and refried beans. The plate came out with a little bed of lettuce, a tomato slice, and a slice of avocado. I am usually super picky about my veggies as restaurants but again, wow, the flavor of my burrito, the salsa, and the fresh avocado and tomato to die for. My boyfriend and I are new to the area and I can't wait to show him this place we will be regulars. Delicious. Authentic. Hidden Gem with a wonderful waitstaff.

The food and service did not disappoint us. Our waitress was very efficient and friendly. We ordered a Club Sandwich with sweet potato fries and a BLT with one trip to the salad bar. Both were tasty and we left them with clean plates. The coffee was hot and fresh and our waitress continued to refill them throughout the meal. Restaurant was clean as were the rest rooms. Vintage decor and pictures give the place an old fashioned appearance. We will certainly return when we can and highly recommend it when you are in town.

Breakfast buffet was mediocre at best, ruben sandwich was ok, but nothing special. Fried chicken salad was a chicken breast that had zero seasoning, just floured and fried, on a bed of warm chopped lettuce with a few wisps of carrots. Breakfast ordered ala cart, grand kid loved the pancakes, but scrambled eggs were watery, and bacon he ordered never arrived. Our food was dropped off along with the check, and a thank you, a refresh of drinks, or just checking back in with us never happened. It was like our server just disappeared. They have replaced the carpet and painted since our last visit, but it doesn't make up for the mediocre food. Not sure we'll make another visit.
