I walked it and was immediately enthralled by the displays, shelving and All the fresh foods! It looked like an old fashioned grocer from yesteryear, but with a modern twist. At first I was just checking the place out... but soon I grabbed a cute wire basket and stocked up on blackberries the size of your thumb! I also got some other fruits and veggies, some local popping corn, some kitchenware, snacks and the creme de la creme... nightingale ice cream sandwiches! The best treats around! Spice up you life in the seasoning shelf... browse the cookbooks... pick up some natural cleaning products... check out the beauty and health section with essential oils! I wasn't going straight home so I had to pass up the dairy case and the frozen foods, but I'll definitely be back for some cage free eggs!! Check out was delightful as the woman thoughtfully and carefully packed my goods. She also looked up sulfite free wines for me and said she hoped to be getting them in. I never mind spending money on great quality and outstanding service. Ya get what you pay for folks, and here you have hit the jackpot! This green grocer is just what this area needed and I hope it sticks around for a long time! It has my support! Hooray for Little House Green Grocery! Ike Godsey would be proud!!

My…read morecolleague and I were having breakfast next door at Perly's, and stopped into Stella's for a couple of iced cherry blossom lattes to get the day started in style. This little shop is full of Richmond cuteness. From specialty groceries, to locally-made art, to unique gifts and treasures, I could easily have filled my suitcase with goodies. I ended up buying a gorgeous postcard here (designed by a local artist) - the design featured the coffee shops of Richmond. Of course, I forgot to take a pic (who me?) but it was adorbs. The latte was delish, too! I don't usually like cherry-flavored things, but on a warm morning this was the perfect touch. The edible flowers made it just that much more delightful.

I usually come to this location for coffee, specifically coffee during a long wait at Perly's next door. I love their coffee options. This is an intimate/smaller Stella's Grocery, but it has all the local goods the others have packed in. There is a good amount of seating at the front too. You can order your coffee drinks at the front. They also have all the standard Stella's Greek food to go options. At the very front you're greeted by cute Richmond souvenirs and gifts. They have favorites in store like Nightingale Ice Cream sandwiches, Blanchard's coffee beans, Mad Kitchen Co. postcards, and more. I'd recommend getting a drink from here!

We started with the grape leaves, which were an amazing appetizer -- super flavorful and a great way to kick things off. I had the gyro salad, and it was huge with a super generous portion of meat. The hummus plate was another hit -- tons of hummus and warm pita, definitely sharable. We came here for a birthday lunch and it was such a nice time. Afterward, we walked across the street to grab a pie to go from Stella's Grocery. Highly recommend for tasty Mediterranean food and a fun, energetic vibe.

The selection in the shop is really fun. I've found some foreign candy favorites here (Cadbury Flakes and happy hippos), as well as classic local items like King of Pops.

I think the location is the only reason people use it because it's convenient. Other than that, that's pretty much it, because it's small and they don't have much. They're also pretty annoying other than a few nice employees. I always use the same ID for my alc every time I go to an ABC store and even here when I have to. They always accept it, and I don't have a problem because anyone knows when they void a driver's license, it's voided for driving reasons ONLY. It's still a valid identification form. They only wanted to enforce it today because the manager was there, and it's pretty funny because it's a first out of the 20 times I've been there. They even asked my boyfriend's ID when they're only supposed to ID the person buying the alcohol and anyone else bringing anything up to the counter. A manager should know better. Maybe they need a better one. They don't have as much in stock anyways and always run out of everything compared to the one on 4991 Nine Mile Road. Go there, that's the better one!!

Since moving here there have been all kinds of crazy top-tier drops: Cantillon, rarer 3F's, Fidens, Trillium, in addition to ongoing deliveries of highly rated beers (you're practically guaranteed to find a handful of beers rated 4.2+ on Untappd any time you walk in here). There's a good mix of local and non-local beers as well. I find it can be detrimental to focus TOO much on local beer. I also think they've nailed the size, both in terms of inventory and physical space, because product seems to move at an ideal pace. I've rarely come across too-old beer, which happens quite often in many beer shops. This is THE place to get beer in the area.
