This is about my awesome experience with Stella's on Sunday April 7th 2024, It seems I've had a love affair with Stella's for many years, I suppose I'm bummed when I go there at night and have received service that isn't quite as good as the delicious pastries that are in the showcases. I wish I knew the name of the wonderful woman who was working very hard to take care of many customers by herself with a friendly smile and her wonderful accent, she was taking care of every customer with a hello and a friendly smile. I was able to purchase an 8" Tiramisu, cannoli's strawberry shortcake & 2 lbs of cookies. This wonderful woman helped me as well as greeted other customers at the same time with that warm welcoming beautiful smile & accent. It was a great experience this Sunday morning. I've been to Stella's at night sometimes and it seems that sometimes the service can be overwhelmed by the many customers that go to Stella's. Bravo Stella's & that wonderful woman that was working Sunday Morning, putting smiles on all of your customers faces, it truly was a wonderful experience,

We just had the most amazing tiramisu dessert for my 70th birthday. So light and creamy -- the best best I ever had. April 6th

While in North Beach/Little Italy, we stopped by Stella Pastry for an afternoon pick-me-up. In Italian fashion, we got a cannoli and added a chocolate chip cookie on the side. The cookie was just-okay, a bit too hard for us, but we enjoyed the crispy bite to the cannoli shell and the rich, creamy filling studded with chocolate chips for a sweet bite. Worth a pop in for some yummy confections!

The Italian desserts are better compared to Mara's Italian pastries but not that many options as in Mara's. There is limited seating area. It was raining outside and we had to stand inside and eat. The staff was polite and efficient. I would love to visit this place again during a nice sunny afternoon.

I have been here several times they have good pastries, good price and good service . It is a nice spot for an afternoon coffee and hanging out with friends and family. Today I bought a tiramisu and some cookies and I loved it . Before I come to a point to take a picture of cookies , I ate them all . So I only have a picture of the tiramisu
