Best. Pancakes. Ever. And I've eaten a lot of pancakes. Great service and an excellent experience overall. But I will reiterate. Best. Pancakes. Ever.
Was told food orders will be 45 minute wait. Also was seated by the washroom. This was my first time here.
The café breakfast and veggie breakfast were delicious. I saw a hair in my plate when I was done. Luckily I didn't find it when I was eating.
We were missed when we entered the restaurant, but it was very busy, so understandable. Otherwise, our waiter accomodated our very late friend despite the busyness, and served us quickly and kept our water full. The food was good and portion sizes are fantastic.
I love Stella's but last night's visit was not good. Went for dessert. Ordered chocolate torte. Was informed they were out of raspberry sauce. Did we want cherry? Yes, my friend said. A few minutes later, "we're out of cherry, too." The tortes come. One small slice of, basically, chocolates cake. No icing to be seen. (The cake was moist and tasty.) All this for $7! And not once did the server ask to refill my coffee. I still give Stella's 5 stars because I go there a lot and it's normally very good. However, I doubt I'll go back to the Pembina location bc it's never been as good as the other locations.
Great service, lots of vegan/vegetarian options
Great food, reasonable prices, good service. Loved the atmosphere, and views up on the roof. Only things to look out for is that it's maybe not the place for pasta (the creamy pesto was the only weak dish our party ordered, and it was still good, just missing the creaminess and a bit oily). Burgers were awesome, breakfast was amazing.
Was over charged and given the wrong order (which was actually the burger I absolutely did not want), unfortunately it was last order, called back in hopes of them fixing the mistake and no avail. Called the following day and was told to call back in the evening that there was nothing they can do.
We always go to Stellas to celebrate mothers day, birthdays, grads, etc. It’s a great place to bring family, and they are so accommodating for bigger groups. my only complaint is that they don’t take reservations past noon. Otherwise we always have excellent service, great food for many different diets (gluten free, vegetarian/vegan). The restaurant is very open with lots of natural light as well. Also reasonably priced!! One of my favourite restaurants in the city
Great place to eat. From out of town and the food here is good and priced well.
Overall excellent staff who were very patient with elderly indecisive patrons. A nice casual ambience and a good range of options on the menu. A reservation is recommended if you want a particular table or a booth. Definitely merits a return visit to try something else on the menu. Portions are ample and you may end up taking some home. Prices are fair.
I heard about Stella's when I was at a retreat on Denman Island this last summer. In Winnipeg for a Workshop, I decided to check is out. My meal was better than delicious and so was the service. A big smile to Stella's. Thank you.
Food and staff great as always. The best part of it is the beautiful patio for the summer. Nice, comfortable space, day and night .
In summer, if you sit upstair on the canopy, you have to prepare to be disturbed by flies. Also the tables with sunshine will be quite a bit hot in the afternoon.
I was here with a friend for dinner. I got a pad thai and it was pretty decent. I appreciate the variety of the menus. From anyone wanting a healthy meal to a variety of other meals done right. The selectionnof non alcoholic drinks are also good as you are not stuck with water or soda for you can order smoothies.
I never ever left a restaurant without food. I had worst experience ever ,waited over an hour and still no sign of food. When I ask after waiting for an hour got the answer it may take another 5 to 10 mins ,after 20 I ask the server to get me bill he happily get me my bill. No sense of urgency or sensitive about time . I would never like to return to this horrible place.
Great food and service as expected when you go to any Stella's. My only suggestion would be to get a bike rack!
Terrible and racist treating the peoples They kept us outside for two hours and pointed out that we only have one table for 7 people. When they guided us, we saw a large number of empty tables for four people that could be easily assembled for us and they did it for a group of whites who came later but didn't it for us.
Stellas is always good. First time on the roof top patio. My only complaint is the low table. Perhaps not an issue, but something to get used to instead.
Great atmosphere and lots to pick from on the menu. There are many great options for if you are vegan or vegetarian. The waitress was very helpful in ensuring what is wanted to order was 100% plant based. Food is always tastey, I would recommend breakfast or one of their soups. Also a good place to come with groups but I would recommend making a reservation first becuase it is usually very crowded. If you are interested in baked goods, they also have a bakery attached. The bakery has many breads and cakes, as well as their own jam. The only issue is parking. There is a parking lot behind the building but a lot of the time it is pretty full. There is some street parking if you don't mind parking on the street!
First time here. Can't wait to come back. Great food - good prices - real iced tea brewed on site!
The food's good. The service was pretty slow, and the prices are kind of high now.
First of all, we LOVE Stella's. Our experience on Saturday was very disappointing though. As a treat to my hard-working daughter, I took her too her favourite place for a late breakfast/brunch at 10:30am. Our server brought us our lattes andtook our order. It was pretty busy, but I've been there during much busier times. After about 45 minutes of waiting and no offers or more coffee, drinks, etc. she very quickly informed us that there had been "a problem in the kitchen" and our meals would be a few more minutes. Again, no offers of more coffee and no updates on our meals (which were omlettes, byt the way, not requiring a whole lot of time). We received our meals at 12pm as the lunch crowd was arriving. People had been arriving, eating and leaving all around us. She quickly said sorry and took off. It was really disappointing.
Awesome roof top patio. Mexican breakfast plate was amazing.
We enjoyed our meals, I had the chorizo hash and the salsa had a nice kick.
The vegetarian mexican breakfast is one of my favorite things to eat. Everytime I go to a Stella's restaurant I think I'm going to try something new but I never do. One time my wife ordered something different and she was very sad watching me eat mine. I've seen many other people's plates that I would like to try and someday I may.
Food is always amazing. So many tasty and healthy options. Service varies depending on who is serving and in the kitchen. There often can be a long wait for a table from 12-1
Went to the Stella’s on Pembina late tonight. Late night server tonight was absolutely amazing, best service we ever received! Came back to our table to make a pun before we left and had a great experience the whole time. Will come again
Solid food selection. All made from scratch. Fast service and nice atmosphere. Worth a try if in the area.
Dine in
Very slow as usual. Was told the wait was 20min. Waited over an hour and had to leave. Need a more honest realistic evaluation of wait times.
Great bread, food is always good. There is an herb in the hash browns I don't like. Service was a little slow, but the waitress was very nice.
Breakfast sandwich was good! Service was good! Music was a bit loud but not too bad. Overall a good time!
WARNING: My daughter was stuck in the washroom for roughly 40 minutes with no way out at Stella's on Pembina. We were also informed that this is the second time this incident has happened. The fire department came, and after my daughter got out, and received no apology. Management must do something about this. This is unacceptable. This is a safety concern. Do not wait for the little kids or seniors to be stuck there.
Best place to eat at the airport. Nice menu. Their Pembina location is also very good. Pleasant bright atmosphere, interesting menu and very good food. I had the Pepper Jelly, Chicken & Brie sandwich with squash soup which was excellent. We also had the Ratatouille dish which was also very good.
The patio is amazing, especially on all these nice summer days. Get the house salad everytime and am never disappointed. Super friendly staff that make me want to keep coming back
Best breakfast you can find in the city You shoild try the cheese toast!!!
Burnt potatoes with a weird taste.And a totally dry coleslaw.
Servers are almost always attentive to what we need - sometimes, even before asking for them. Portions are always great - never left unsatisfied. Great food at an amazing price.
While sometimes quite busy and hard to get a table, this place is beautiful and has quick servers. The vegan chocolate cake is a must have for each visit.
Stella's holds a special place in my heart because I have been going there and to Kevin's for so long! The food was awesome !! The services just wasn't there and hasn't been there the last few visits.The waitresses are always snooty and I don't care for that. However I would say the restaurant has always been Spotless .
Great menu, prices and people all around! Love it!
Clean, friendly; great food at good prices.
So disappointed after using their DoorDash service. The app failed and could not process the checkout. We called Stella’s to do a pickup instead and then after we got back home saw the order sitting on our doorstep. We were billed twice and have been refused a refund.
I am a big fan of Stella's but the Pembina location is a bit out of my way so I don't usually go there. To accommodate a friend I went there looking forward to introduce her to excellent food and friendly service. It was very disappointing......the food and the service both. There had been some issues at a previous visit but this one was a bit over the top. Two other visits were close to what I have come to expect from Stella's.......high quality food and service. I decided to edit my previous, much harsher version because the manager did everything in her power to make things better. She apologized profusely, told me that the personnel had been informed and instructed, gave me the money back for what I had been overcharged and threw in an additional gift card. She suggested that I give this location another chance and I believe I will. However, I have gained a completely new appreciation of my usual Stella's hangout for sure.
Great customer service, friendly staff, great menu and great prices
Not as good as it used to be, and not worth the price. Hash brown cubes were changed to a smaller cube and were mushy. Rest of the food was OK. Wait time was short but our server seemed to rush us. Better food and service at much cheaper places.
Stella’s cafe on Pembina, needs to fix their parking lot situation because way too many time we had their customers block our driveway. Stella’s opening by pembina was the one the worst idea for residents on Clarence ave
This is a great place for breakfast. There is a lot of variety on the menu. Make sure your order comes with toast/jam. It’s so good! On weekends there is usually a wait but it’s worth it.
Great food! Mexican Breakfast is really good
Amazing staff . Great tasting food! Always love coming . Top notch customer service .
Despite many rave reviews I had never been to a Stella's before. We (2) decide to try the roof-top patio since, well, it sounded awesome. They told us there would be a 15-20 min wait or there were tables inside. We decided to wait and I'm really glad we did. After about 15 we were told there was a full sun table if we wanted. It was nice that they mentioned it before we went up because for some that could be an issue. The patio itself was really nice and had strings of lights which would be great in the evening. They were several umbrellas and it had a nice feel despite being on Pembina Hwy (it was the middle of the afternoon though). I had the Salmon Fillet Burger and an iced Baileys espresso beverage both of which were great and I would get again. I also tried the borscht which was, for me, mediocre. My guest had the Chicken Burger with an added egg and a booze coffee (jump starter or something) which he really enjoyed. The server was a bit absentee, but she did seem busy and had to constantly run up and down the stairs. She was really pleasant, however, and mentioned 'upsells' without being pushy. My only real complaint was that some of the tables upstairs are really close together which made us feel a little uncomfortable. Also the tables were low which made eating kind of awkward. All in all though will definitely go back!
Brunch
LOVE Stella's. Food is always excellent. Service is prompt and friendly. Good portions. Great prices. If you haven't been... YOU must go.
I have finished two cokes and waited for almost 1 hours. Because we ordered some bacon and toast? It is very hard to make? What’s wrong with people stuck in this place!
Everything we ordered was very delicious! The servers were attentive and polite. We didn't wait very long to get our food so it was a very good visit all around!
Terrible. I ordered a gravlox sandwich with wedges through door dash. The "sandwich" was a tiny croissant with two slices of salmon, a small amount of cream cheese, and a wilted lettuce rib - which was the only things with any size. The croissant was barely bigger than a Pillsbury crescent. Wedges were ice cold, totally soggy and swimming in oil. Literally inedible and another extremely tiny portion. This was almost 20 dollars, not including door dash costs. I will never be back.
Love the food here. So much varieties for vegetarian and vegan people. Best part is their timings, Was really late after work and ordered my food at around 11 45 pm and still got it in the next 10 mins perfect as it always is. Really appriciate their service.
Food that is consistently tasty alongside service that is just as consistently poor
My first time there. I should have saved room for dessert! The cake looks deadly. London fog was great and the soup & salad combo was the perfect amount of food. Red pepper soup and spinach salad were very good. Service was quick, bit of a wait for the meals but it was busy so understandable. Will definitely be back again.
Nice environment. The breakfast and bread pudding are very good!
Tried to order 3 or 4 different items and none were available. Portions were quite small, I had to get more food somewhere else.
Great service, but the carrot cake is by far the best. Enjoy Stella's every time.
The parking is a pain, but it's worth it. Food and service are always excellent. The rooftop is good for the evenings. If you eat inside bring a sweater.
Excellent food, excellent service by Laura. Can't wait to try the rooftop this summer. Would recommend to anyone.
Always a safe bet and our go-to restaurant. Food is great (lots of vegan options!), staff is quick, friendly, and well trained, lots of seating.
Oh my goodness way too expensive for one burger to cost me 20dollars with pinch of fries like as if a baby is eating
Been here way too many times, great food and even better staff, love it. Patio is beautiful :)
Very cozy, spacious, awesome service, with great people. The food is wonderful, original, authentic. I recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Go here all the time with friends and family AMAZING FOOD!! Stella’s is a perfect place to come to if you are wanting to split a cake, have coffee, or enjoy a big meal. Stella’s is unique for incorporating basic and and fancy meals but the best part is there is something for everyone. if your feeling lucky check out Stella’s!!
I've been 3 times. The food was tasty, but cold by the time it got to the table all 3 times. I have Celiac disease and I don't think the server took me seriously because when my food came out with bread on the side, she said she'd just remove the bread. Sigh. I found it really difficult to hear my lunch companion because it's so loud... But maybe that's just me?
Amazing London fog!!! Service was top notch and food was amazing. I will be coming back next time I am in Winnipeg.
We had our first meal at Stella's on Pembina, and it was first-rate. The service was superb - thank you to the waitress serving Section 16 (Christina?). Absolutely, no complaints. We will most-definitely be back!
Went last Sunday for Easter brunch with my family. Didn't wait long for a table, hosts were very friendly. Food was delicious as always and our server was easy to talk to, and very efficient! But we were sitting by the kitchen and it was a little noisy. We could hear the chefs and staff arguing with each other. Got some baked goods on the way out and the service in the cafe/bakery area of the restaurant was great! The girl working was very kind and helpful. She recommended to get a pan of bread pudding for our dinner that day and it was amazing! Highly recommend it.
Food and service is great! I strongly recommend this restaurant.
Servers were knowledgeable about menu and helped me make a decision. The fish tacos were great.
Easy parking at the back of the restaurant. Nice waiting area/bakery where you can order a coffee or have a muffin. Breakfast all day and great lunch options. It's always busy, but it's worth the wait! Very friendly staff!
This chain is well known in Winnipeg. We were there for breakfast though it's open all day long. Parking (free) in the rear. The place is very clean, great decor (a combination of classy and industrial) , good music (full Bose sound system!). Staff are casual but professional. Service was reasonably quick. Food was very good and pricing was fair but not a steal. I'll absolutely be back again.
Food, staff and atmosphere fantastic, here weekly and never disappoints. Quality food, easily accommodate menu changes & best breakfast in the city!
I don't go to Stell's frequently .... But I have never been disappointed when I do ...... breakfast .... brunch .... lunch (didn't go for dinner yet), the food is delicious, very big portions, service is so friendly and welcoming.
Still one of the best breakfast/brunch places around Great menu great service Not the cheapest option but not unreasonable
Went for burger week, we're told after we had ordered drinks that there were no buns or beef patties. Unfortunately a garden burger on toast is not the burger week experience
Visited on Remembrance Day and the staff was kind enough to observe a moment of silence. Much appreciated. Breakfast was great. French toast and a classic breakfast all cooked right at a good price.
Covid compliant, always great food. Looking forward to the next visit!
Breakfast menu is very well priced, with many options. It is a very busy place so expect a wait. Would recommend!
Love the food at Stella's! However it is frustrating when you arrive and view a dozen clean tables not being used and nobody being seated. There were only four parties to be seated yet we were all told we would have a 20 minute wait by two very young and obviously inexperienced employees. I am a frequent at Stalla's and did not appreciate or understand the inexperience at the door. I asked why so long the wait and the young male at the entrance walked away from me in the middle of our conversation because he was distracted by a very attractive young women who was greeting friends who had already been seated and settled in for awhile. I left! It was not a busy evening and the wait was not professional or necessary. The communication skills and costomer service at the door needs work.
Great menu. Waitress took a while to take our payment but overall good experience and will return if/when I come back to Winnipeg
If you don't want to pay a lot for a nice restaurant, this is the place. Great for students, since they have special coffees and lattes (study sessions/cramming). The price for food is fair as well, and you get a good portion. I always have to take a portion of my meal to go, afterwards.
I got the bacon burger with guacamole it was good, not blown away by it. unlike most restaurants they didn't rush us out after we were done eating.
The service was so bad no welcoming and it was my first time the food tasteless the potatoes burned I will never recommend Stella’s pembina
Great ambience. Nice service. Good food. Huge portion size. Finding Parking slot can be difficult on weekends.
I love Stella's in general but have had many bad experiences here. Have had them setup a table for my group after waiting a long time only to find out that the table was not on the patio as requested and the table was for 4 when we had asked for 7 people on the patio level, was annoying because we waited longer for the patio only to be seated at a table that could not accommodate our group size. Aside from that time and others , once you actually have your meal it's the same as most Stella's. Delicious! I'll usually goto other Stella's and pass this once however due to repeated mistakes / not great service or maybe it's just bad luck?
Stella's on Pembina is by far the best Stella's in the city. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food is always delicious. The environment is very welcoming and cozy. Special shout out to Troy, our favourite server!
Always a solid menu. Well prepared and served. The all day breakfast is my own favourite. Gravalax++ Anything with their in-house baked goods will be superb. Prices slightly above other locals but worth it. Also it's busy so be prepared to wait at peak times.
Here in winnipeg for work, and now stellas is a go to for me. Fantastic food, great staff and the atmosphere is open and friendly. Cant wait to come again tomorrow for the rooftop patio opening!
The food here is always delicious and I have never been disappointed with their service. I love their chai tea lattes.
Really different than what I remember. Got a knife, it was dull, grabbed another and it was also smooth as a baby’s bottom. Also the giant salt flakes makes food inconsistent in taste. Nobody enjoys eating a crunchy large chunk of salt. Such a turn off.
Very surprised by the atomesphere, food quality, and the servers were interactive and personable, even with us being there close to closing time. My Mocha and Carrot cake were excellent.
Had a great brunch here today. I had the chicken curry. It came with coconut, raisins, bananas and chutney. The extras all went really well with the chicken and curry. My friends had the Norwegian waffle and mexican breakfast. Both were reportedly delicious. Our service was friendly and prompt. We had a short wait for a table but I was able to get a coffee in the bake shop while we waited. We will definitely return.
always a pleasure dining here our waiter was a pleasure to deal with and the woolly bars are the best
Seriously one of my favorite places in the city!!❤
Thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop patio today! Great service and amazing food everytime. Highly recommend the house salad. The dressing is to die for!
Stella's is a trendy restaurant, which has a wide variety of menu options. As a francophone, I visit Stella's whenever I need my tourtière fix, since Stella's is (almost) as good as my family's! Delicious baking, good coffee/tea selection, smoothie menu, and also an alcohol menu.
My girlfriend and I are regular customers who would drive across town to go to this location! They have the friendliest, most accomodating staff, including their super helpful manager Jessica. Fresh food, fast service, and great late hours.
Awesome ambiance and one of my favorite places for vegetarian food. Their servers are very nice and friendly too.
I love having breakfast here, first time eating here. This location I had an amazing service and the food is delicious as well. Went here with my boyfriend, I will definitely go back as soon as I get back to Winnipeg.
I have no idea how Stella's has stayed in business for this long. Their food is god awfully bland and the prices are way too high for what they offer you. I've had hot summer air with more flavour than some of Stella's dishes.
Amazing atmosphere, exquisite and serene surrounding and most of all delectable choices of meals at an affordable price served with smiles by their employees.
Really nice atmosphere. Elegant and cozy yet serves all day breakfast. My coworker and I stopped in after a super long day of travel and work and this was just what we needed. I grabbed an enormous slice of carrot cake to take back to my hotel. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Second time coming here and each time I've enjoyed my visit. Food is great, staff are very friendly. I love their breakfast selection, I never know what I want to order next when I visit. Already planning my next brunch visit!
A Stella's is a Stella's is a Stella's, but that said, great staff. A rooftop patio is a rare thing in this part of town, so add a point for that. I do appreciate being able to get breakfast until 11pm!
Modern and clean environment, food tasted great like usual. Table service wasn't the best, had to chase down a server to get a refill on water.
Love this location - less noisy than some of the other Stella's locations and has attached bakery! . The patio is a lovely feature but I found it better for drinks /appies and less suited to full meals - the tables are very short and feel far away. You need to hold your plate on your lap or lean over the table.. Either way, it is uncomfortable. (perhaps they changed their table styles because I only used the patio once, when it first opened). Stella's is always such a great place to go - I can always trust that the food will be fresh and delicious.
We chose this place because I heard they had vegan options and we were staying nearby. We sat on the roof, so I was glad to have my sunglasses as it was quite sunny with no shade. Many of the tables were coffee table height, which would be fine if we were just having drinks and appetizers. They were a little awkward to eat dinner at, though. This is the only reason for not rating 5 stars. Our meals were very tasty and filling. I couldn't resist some of the vegan sweets, so I bought a piece of chocolate cake to go. It was huge! Very moist but a little too sweet; I scraped off most of the icing. The bakery on the main floor had vegan cinnamon buns that also looked amazing.
Excellent food and service always!! Expect to wait 30 mind min however it is worth the wait!
So many good choices on the menu. Upstairs patio is nice too.
Very cozy and nice place. Good food and very attentive customer service. I strongly recommend this place.
nice customer service good food helpful staff
Great breakfast and lunch options and friendly servers. Parking can be a bit tricky and tables close together if you are navigating a stroller or wheelchair. The salmon eggs benedict is wonderful except for the very dense scone on which it is served.
Lovely brunch spot. Make sure someone in your party arrives a bit earlier to wait for a table cause this place fills up fast. We had decent service and our food was out lickety split! Their bread selection is amazing, as long as you're not requiring Gluten Free. There's no GF bread options, sadly.
Very good service! Great place for a coffee! Park out back in the parking lot to avoid being towed out front!
Stella's food is always good, however we did not have good service at this location. Once seated by the host we waited 25 minutes for a server to acknowledge us and recieve a glass of water during a 3pm weekday lull. It was pretty pathetic.
Had the Mexican breakfast with tortillas, frijoles, eggs sunny side up, hash browns, salsa, guacamole and a cream sauce. It was pretty good. Also had the chorizo, which I would skip next time.
The food is good, the service is good. Always busy at lunch. If you plan to come here, I suggest arriving by 11:30am. There is little to no parking - expect to walk down the street.
Great food and fantastic service. Outdoor roof was great as well.
Good place for brunch or dinner. I usually go for the beef burger with the potatoes cooked extra crispy or the jambalaya.
Being from out of town I had never been to Stella's before. Went to the Pembina location. I ordered the chicken curry. It was amazing. So amazing that I am now sitting at the Stella's at the airport enjoying it one last time before I leave.
Great spot for brunch. Consistent food, good coffee and hot drinks, service is always excellent. Decor of restaurant is nice as well. Very good value for food quality. Highly recommend.
Delicious food great atmosphere. Fantastic salmon burger and really enjoyed the spicy coleslaw. The chocolate cake is fantastic.
Quick take out service and great sandwiches.
Great service! Best vegan chocolate cake in the city! ????
My friend had ordered eggs as part of her breakfast. Upon eating the second forkful, she noticed eggshells throughout the eggs. When she mentioned it to our waiter, instead of offering her a fresh order of eggs or taking it partially or off of our bill altogether, he said a quick, "Oh , I'll mention it to our kitchen staff. Not great customer service or satisfaction.
A very enjoyable dining experience. Great food and great service.
My favourite food to order at Stella's is from the breakfast menu, especially the salmon. Last night, I had the salmon sandwich, which was great. However, the mushroom soup didn't meet my expectations. My boyfriend ordered the spicy tomato and potato soup and it was very bland, but the waitress kindly replaced it with the mushroom soup after he made a complaint. His main dish was the pad thai; I tried a bite and while it wasn't terrible, it's not something I would recommend. My favourite dish is the Salmon Benedict breakfast. They also have really good lattes.
Good food generally. Service can be a hitor miss. Easy parking, large dining area. Nice coffee shop also.
Good food, good atmosphere, good service, rooftop seating is nice. Great vegetarian /vegan options
Great breakfast. They ran out of sparkling wine for a special occasion and didn't offer another option.
Stella's is always a place I'd go to in Winnipeg, it's an iconic restaurant with great service, delicious foods, and super Instagrammable!
Never any complaints with Stellas. Parisian ambience and lovely staff ????
Rubish food taste dont ask no taste at all Staff is helpfull they gave cutlery wen half of the starter finish and on request Over all worst food in town.
Amazing place to eat. Really nice servers, and great food
WHAT a beautiful Stella’s. There’s lots in the city but this ones the nicest, the inside and especially the rooftop patio, beautiful. Food was super good, service was awesome. I always get the arugula salad & homemade soup at Stella’s - they always have great homemade soups. Also brunch mimosas are a must! Mmm!
Extremely well-staffed restaurant with a very nice aura. Great food and a large variety of cuisines on the menu. Second floor patio is a rare and amazing touch! ????
Being a semi-regular patron at this stella’s location, the restaurant usually offers very good service to its customers. Unfortunately, the quality of my favourite dish - eggplant Parmesan - has been totally unsatisfactory my last few visits. Yesterday evening, upon my order, the eggplant came out mushy, cold, and tasted like something microwaved and much too hastily put together. Stella’s staff reluctantly redid my order, however the dish simply came back cut into thinner slices, and smothered in salt. Customers beware when looking to order this dish.
Really nice atmosphere and super friendly staff, but the food was a little bland. We had the garden burger and the special carbonara pasta, we might go back and try something else, this just wasn't the best.
Food quality maybe not as good as previous, but still a good place to eat at for comfort food.
I had the kid omelette I think it was called. Smoked salmon and cream cheese. Very delicious and great coffee.
This Stella's has an interesting feel of a cafe that is suitable for-breakfast/brunch or even for afternoon drinks. The interior finish compliments this vibe, with artwork and furnishings that balance warmth and wholesomeness w/ progressive style. We had to wait about 7 mins for a table as it was busy, though that was just enough time to peruse the front bakery showcasing desserts and fresh baked bread. Nice spot. Would like to try the rooftop patio if it wasn't -27 outside.
Great food. Fantastic service and the staff are amazing.
Always delicious food and friendly service. Be prepared to wait a bit at the door at peak times as Stellas is usually busy.
Stella's is always good. First time being to this location and the patio was awesome for lunch. I'll be back
Definitely try the waffles!
We actually didn't stay here because they didn't have the patio open and we were wanting to sit outside. It does look great, but was disappointed the patio wasn't open on such a nice evening.
The staff and food here is really good. Took my family here a few times over the summer and fall this year. The only downside of this location is the parking. Your best bet is to attend during the weekends, because the parking lot during the week has reserved spots for other customers attending the other businesses in the same building where Stella's is. Also time it carefully, if you arrive during peak hours like 6-8pm on a Friday, be prepared to wait, it may take a while.
Staff was super nice, but they messed up almost every part of my order. It was so bad that I wasn't even mad, I just thought it was funny. I ordered four pancakes, got two. Ordered a side of grass fed beef sausage and got ready crisp microwave bacon. I did get hash browns though, so not a total loss.
As always, the experience was fantastic! From the hostess who sat us to our server, both ladies were very friendly and courteous. Our food was delicious as always. Left full and very satisfied!
Great service and delicouslly prepared food with locally used ingredients. I am never dissapointed by my experiences at Stella's and don't dine there nearly as much as I should be. A wonderful Winnipeg staple, you gotta dine here.
Service is hit or miss. Getting your order right is a coin toss. Food is usually pretty bland.
Seems like Stella's is trying to make up for COVID losses by cutting portion sizes and staff. Had to wait 20 minutes tonight. Not because they didn't have tables. But because they had only one server. They had no soup. At 7 pm? When the burger came it was extremely disappointing. About half the size it usually is. On a WHITE BREAD bun? What?! I always feel when I leave Stella's I've paid more than the experience was worth. Tonight that feeling was twice as bad. C'mon you guys! Business will return. Stop gouging us in the short term.
Very delicious food and nice environment. I especially like the chorizo hash dish! The sourdough toast and jam is amazing. I will definitely come back when I return to Winnipeg.
Coffee and a slice of vegan cake. Delicious. Great service also.
My wife ordered lunch from this location through DoorDash. After almost 2 hours of no delivery she followed up and was told that her order had been sitting waiting for DoorDash to pick it up. Stella's blamed the delay on DoorDash and failed to offer any resolution or apology for the delay. I understand that DoorDash is responsible for pick up, but at what point does Stella's actually become accountable and follow up with the driver on their end knowing that the food would likely arrive not to the satisfaction of the customer after having sat out for so long and making the person wait 2 hours?
Stella's ambience is so warm and quaint. The food is delicious, the servers are friendly and you always feel like going back. They also have vegan options. Go to brunch and hangout place for sure!????
So good. Food was excellent. Service was friendly. Prices were very reasonable. One of my favourite places.
Always stop for breakfast or dinner while in town on business. The food is great and the menu provides a lot of variety (vegetarians included). Staff are prompt and friendly and the prices very reasonable considering the quality and large portion size. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high quality meal in a casual atmosphere.
Fantastic Place for Dinner Thanks to an amazing staff from DHA Female U17 Hockey Team!!
Great service, lovely rooftop patio, and the same tasty Stella's food as the other locations.
Amazing service, didn't have to wait very long to get a table or for our food, meal was delicious and the ambiance peaceful.
Nice and cozy atmosphere, and the food is always great. Though most times its always busy, I'm sure that reflects how great the food and service is. 2 Tombs up
Worst experience of my life so far at a restaurant. I would not share his name but thanks for downgrading me
The food was amazingly good and the staff was really happy and friendly. I will be telling my peeps about this place!
Great food but the excessive yelling of orders from the kitchen was very off putting. Very loud.
This is really good restaurant/cafe. Staff is really nice, food is delicious. Dessert is very big, two can eat one. They also have breads in a separate section. They have really good drinks as well. You can go here for absolutely anything including just a coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner. I often go here with my co workers and everyone really loves it!! During summers, you can chose to sit on the patio upstairs (may have mosquitoes)! The place is very busy most of the times, so it’s best to make reservation. Also, parking is quite small, you may have to park on the street if it’s all taken.
Christine was a sweetheart by far the best sever I've seen service from in a while made me smile from ear to ear with my replacement wedges thank you for being an angel, happy holidays
Always a great menu at Stella's but the patio at this location is not wheelchair accessible.
The food was wonderful. This place was packed when I visited them on a Saturday morning. Good service.
Service was great! I tried the vegetarian lasagna with ceasar salad. Lasagna was fabulous and the salad was nice and garlicky like I prefer it!
Great food and drink. I had a great Thanksgiving morning with Stella. However, I have to take 1 star away due to the egg I had still had some eggshells. Otherwise, nice place to visit
I love stella's, but this location i've been to a couple times. Two days i had went with my boyfriend and again just disappointed with my food. He ordered the B&E burger which came with two strips of bacon and a sunny-side egg and apparently "caramelized onion, arugula, tomato, pickle & tomato relish" . He asked that everything in quotations didn't come on the burger and instead add mushrooms. What he got was an over cooked pattie that was practically grey and dry in the middle, the egg overtop was completely cooked through and it had caramelized onion and arugula... while my portion of Pad Thai was the smallest ive ever seen it and just the flavor was not there.
Got an eggs Bennie and the yolks were hard. Took so long to get out to me too. Was a big disappointment especially for the price they charge.
Ordered the B&E burger and the Mushroom and Havarti burger. The order was cold when it arrived (it's only 5 minutes down the road), the Cole slaw was in the same container as the burgers (!?), the burgers themselves were awful, way too much herbal flavour and overcooked, the burgers were on focaccia bread which fell apart (the menu does not mention that they use bread instead of buns); the plastic forks and knives were so flimsy we couldn't use them to cut the burgers... We might try their breakfast sometime but definitely not their burgers again. Threw everything into the garbage :(
Delicious food. Good service. Had a burger (meat) my fellow diners enjoyed Gravlix (sp) and waffles and ice cream all well received nothing left on the plates.
Food was good. Club sandwich was made with real chicken breast instead of processed meat which is always a bonus. Pad Thai was fresh and flavorful. Added the shrimp to it, could have used a couple more shrimp though for the upcharge amount. We would go again and recommend to others.
Their stuff is very wallcomed and service-oriented. Restaurant is very will managed. They also have table for large groups. But I found too many flying bees around us. I tried their signature smoothie was delicious.
Food was tasteless, servers seemed like they don’t wanna be there.
The food was really good and the service quick and perfect, the waiter was really capable and nice. Also covid safety precautions were properly taken
Great food. Good portion sizes. Love their house made jam.
I've only been coming here for a few months now but what can I say this is one of the best stellas location out there,fantastic seating with a great view! The staff is so wonderful and kind, they have no problem answering questions( especially about food allergies) everything they sell is made right there in house, you can watch them prepare the food too because they have a semi open concept kitchen! I take my family here almost every week now and it feels like home everytime! Do keep in mind thought that they can get pretty busy around Lunch time(11-1) but I've never waited longer then 8minutes to be seated and the longest on a super busy day for food was only 15minutes! 11/10 would recommend!
Foods good... and depending when you go there’s a short wait but it’s usually worth it.
Very good! Service was great and an excellent menu selection. I got the pad Thai with an orange juice Mimosa.
Good service and the dish tasted well. A bit repetitive menu which didn't change for at least a year as I could recall
Friendly staff. My waiter was excellent. Wish i caught her name. Food was amazing and coffee cup was never empty. Definitely eat at any of their locations.
Amazing restaurant! Very efficient and kind serving staff with exceptional food quality, freshness and taste! Absolutely amazing!
Had the peanut soup but not as good as Prairie Ink's West African Peanut soup. The roasted veggies in a sub was good & recommended.
One of the only joints around the area at the time that had sit down eating after 7pm. Went in for just a couple hot drinks for the evening but the staff there were fantastic
The food here is relatively affordable and the atmosphere is great. The staff were very nice and friendly and food tasted good as well. Can get very crowded but worth a visit.
The food was super flavourful. The staff was lovely and very approachable and hospitable. They even let us have our dessert on the patio upstairs and the waitress helped carry our stroller up the stairs! Was overall a great experience as it was my fiances first time there. Dessert was a generous portion and a great way to end the day. Would definitely recommend the pembina location !
Delicious! If you haven't eaten at Stella's you are missing out! Healthy, delicious options for all meals. One of their largest locations & has a rooftop patio. Parking is a little slim.
My appetite dropped after I found something like hair. I asked the staff as soon as I found it, but he said it was like a string of sausages. I don't know what he's talking about because I don't usually eat sausages, so I have no idea about it. He said it was definitely not hair. But its tip was white like a hair root and to my eyes without knowledge of sausages it looked like hair. It might not have been hair, but I already lost my appetite and couldn't enjoy the food. Except for this, Stella's food was delicious.
Chorizo Hash, always tastes good. Bread and jam is fresh. Service is good, nice and polite
Delicious! Best sandwich..best vegetarian chocolate cake! Service is excellent!
I loved the house salad! Our server , Diana was absolutely great!. Pleasant & competent.
Always busy! But always amazing. I wouldn't turn down stellas ever. The only thing I don't like as much is their soups (just my opinion). The breads are sooo soft and delicious and the jams are sooo berryful! I always recommend stellas and the pembina is probably the better location (as it's bigger and you probably have a better chance of getting a seat)
Great food, staff, price and ambiance. Definitely a keeper. I'll be back.
First time going to Stella's and I had a great experience there, I like how their menu is self explanatory and they offer a variety of dishes. What I really like though was the vegan options! It's was delicious!! Kudos to you Stella's!!! I'll definitely come back for more!
My wife and I have been visiting Stellas several times since arriving in Canada 7 years ago. We decided to visit the Pembina location for brunch as we had been given a gift card for a birthday. As expected the staff were friendly and polite and the resteraunt was clean and tidy. unfortunitly my experience soon deteriated after being sat at our seats and our order was brought to us. We had both ordered a starter each and a main course of which all four plates were delivered together. An appolagy was given but the fact is I would not expect this from Stellas. I informed the server that it was fine but to be honest it wasn't and I now wish I had said something. My wife's Dragon bown was good and she enjoyed imensly but I was a little confused that the bread that accompaned my Scandinavian Gravalax was dry and didn't come with butter or margarine ( this apparently to the server was normal ). I was also put out that a good percentage of my meal was made up of cucumber ( it did taste nice but far too much Stellas ). This is the first time that I have made a negative comment for a resteraunt and I didn't think it would be Stellas.
Good place to eat, very reasonable prices, good menu. Very tasty food.
I absolutely loved the atmosphere, The cheesecakes and the home made jams are a must try! The staff are extremely amazing, the customer service was 15/10 Extremely impressed
There is always a wait time and they say 45 minutes wait. We go back after 45 mins and they say 45 more mins and just keep dragging it along. Customer service is very poor and very low amount of staff work there. Also no reservations.
Good baked goods, but not good enough to justify how busy this place seems to be... ...but the vegan chocolate cake was spectacular!
Food was great but took over an hour for our party of 8 to be seated.
best breakfast I've had in ages.
Good food, friendly and attentive staff. I also thought it was a visually appealing restaurant, which contributed to a nice atmosphere.
Service
This Stella's is okay, but not great. Namely, lack of staff during peak hours. My colleagues and I waited over 45 minutes for a table. Then the staff forgot to accommodate a large enough table for a baby car seat, so we were 5 people and a baby at a 4 person table. I proceeded to tell the waiter that the others at my table would stay for a full, proper lunch but that I would have just a grilled cinnamon bun right away since I had to leave soon. It took over 30 minutes and came with everybody's lunches, was cold, and I had to ask for it to go. On a side note, the ultra modern look doesn't have that same warmth you get from other Stella's locations.
Extremely SLOWWWWW. 45 minutes for a simple breakfast (Saturday though) is too long. And guess what, food arrived cold too. There is an army of waitresses working here. But there is something wrong. I am going back to the Grant location.
Love this rooftop patio. Food is always on par.
One of my favourite restaurants in Winnipeg. The rooftop patio is a must in the summertime!
Fantastic place to visit for breakfast or dinner! We love the staff at the Pembina location.
Usually Stella's is 5 stars... Even this new location was much better the first time I came. Good service but salad was warm and crutons soggy. They replaced it promptly and it was better, still not up to the usual Stella's quality.
Usual fare with excellent as usual service and food. As always, busy on a Sunday morning for brunch; an expected 25 minute estimated wait turned into about 50!
Lovely breakfast. Great service Carly. Perfect place for lazy day breakfast.
Absolutely delicious "made from scratch" meals. Today I had the soup and salad combo (spinach salad with orange chutney dressing and tuscany tomato soup with focacia). Yummy!
TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!! So much attitude from the server and the manager. DIDN'T APOLOGIZE AFTER SERVING BURNT FOOD. LIKE IT WAS OUR FAULT. SERVER ASKED US HOW WE WERE GOING TO PAY WHILE WE WERE EATING OUR MEAL AND NOT EVEN CLOSED TO HALFWAY THROUGH OUR MEAL. NOT GOING HERE AGAIN. SHERBROOK STELLA'S IS HANDSDOWN THE BEST. STAY AWAY FROM THE PEMBINA LOACTION.
Very good food and service. I have not had a bad experience in all my times there.
Love the new additions to the menu and all the food tastes so fresh
Wow! Our first time at Stella's on Pembina and we pick a Sunday morning. There were at least 40 people ahead of us but the Hostess said the wait would only be 20 to 25 minutes for two people and she was right on the money. Spent the time watching as Stella's very efficient staff worked their magic getting the masses seated and served. 20 minutes later we were seated and shortly there after our food arrived. Stella's food is always excellent and the Pembina location is as well but their friendly efficient staff deserve kudos for making the experience of Sunday morning brunch awesome.
Breakfast
Nice atmosphere and good food. The hardest part is getting a table, but it's always worth the wait!
Good food, great ambiance, good service. All in all a very pleasant experience! Would definitely recommend.
It use to be the best. But their greater has 0 customer service. I left from the door. Not worth going there anymore!!
Meal type
Good place to go to for a date. The food is simple, yet tasty. Their original smoothy is amazingly good, even better than the chains that specialize in smoothies. Wait staff is friendly but slow. I recommend the Scandinavian Gravlax.
always love their salmon burger! great food!
Always have amazing service and amazing food when I go there! One of my favorite restaurants to go for breakfast
Amazing food, never had a bad meal there and the staff is always so friendly
Great ambience. Helpful staff. Plenty of room inside and on the rooftop patio. Wait was about 20 mins. Food quality was good and each serving was enough for one person.
Great atmosphere. Wonderful service, very vegan friendly and accommodating!
The food was delicious. Veggie Cafe highly recommended. Good customer service too! A must visit place!
Great food and service, one of my favorite Winnipeg institutions to eat at. Highly recommended.
Nice rooftop patio. Also enjoyed my grilled veggie and hummus appetizer, although the toasted focaccia was dry and without flavour.
Great salads.
Stella's is a family favourite. Their menu has numerous delicious options, their food tastes great and fresh, and all at a reasonable price.
I live the food The sausages aren't a favourite of mine, but everything else is sooo freaking good!!
Food is delicious a positive atmosphere, staff is quick and friendly. And the washrooms took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting that. The experience on the rooftop was enjoyable
They have amazing food. Had the bison chili and it was spectacular. They have incredible desserts to enjoy as well.
The patio here is very beautiful and cozy. They make really good cold brew coffee, which i am a big fan, beats any other cold brew coffee in Winnipeg!
Had a lovely first experience there today. Every server I spoke with were so helpful and welcoming. The salmon Benedict was delicious! Will definitely be back!
My experience at the patio during covid-19: We went on a Sunday for lunch pembina branch, Our experience was unpleasant unfortunately. The service was poor, I'm not sure why, its not the great experience I get when going to Stella previously. I am not sure if the provincial restrictions require below average service from the staff. We waited long for the food, only to arrive cold. I don't mind waiting for the food as long as its fresh and warm. The food came in take away boxes, which was disappointing because it's hard to eat from and makes food soggy, but if that's what the provincial requirement is, then I won't complain about this part. We asked for an extra set of knife and fork (they serve plastic disposable ones) it never came. We had to ask to bring the delicious Stella jam, because they forgot about it. I was surprised that refills are not allowed. No coffee refill, no napkins, no extra toast if requested. Staff never asked if we needed anything. They never check on you. Please tell me this is due the restrictions? I honestly don't like to order my food for takeout because it gets cold and soggy. So I would only dine in if available. Thank you for letting the patio open and serving customers there. But please improve the service back to Stella famous service. I would hate to see my favorite restaurant go away. I am sad Osborne branch got shut down. I won't likely come back until the service is back to normal. I am posting my review so hopefully it's delivered to management. Thank you.
Stella's has great food but if you're going to go to one go to a different location in the city. Serving staff at this location really lack any social skills and it's disappointing.
Obviously as usual food & beverages were delicious! However, Hard to get into, and very busy, difficult to walk through the people just standing around to get to our table. The atmosphere is really my only issue. Loud,decor & colour scheme not appealing, and the noise.
Food is great! Ready for pick up right on time!
Really fantastic place - good service and great food.
Stella's on Pembina. Beautiful inside. Much bigger than it looks from the outside. Too cold to try the patio upstairs but will try it again next year. The food at Stella's has that comforting home cooked taste and feel. Reasonably priced, clean and friendly staff who check up on you often for coffee fill ups. Busy busy place and a tad noisy even with many ceiling baffles. Street parking generally available close by.
Awesome,Food taste juicy, hot,my friends got fresh vegetables,service attitudes is good.
Best blueberry pancakes I've ever eaten. Prompt, friendly service and good prices make this place excellent.
Clean, cozy restaurant, great atmosphere, it was a busy place when we attended. Server was friendly and attentive. Very good food, I had the Jambalaya and it was delicious!
Meal type
Best breakfast in the city
Great breakfast. One of the best places in Winnipeg to have breakfast. And they keep opening new locations while maintaining quality
Went to lunch at Stella's yesterday. Being vegan I am unfortunately all too used to the reality of facing extremely limited menu options at non-vegan establishments. Stella's was a welcome change! There were not only multiple menu items that could easily be made vegan, but they do so without sacrificing the taste, quantity, or quality of the dish! This vegan linguine was to die for. I have honestly never had such a tasty meal while eating out, even from fully-vegan restaurants! Stella's, PLEASE continue doing what you're doing. Having an inclusive atmosphere (not just for those with alternative diets) is setting an example all across Winnipeg, and the rest of Central Canada. I might not get back here as often as I like, but every time I'm in town I can guarantee you've got a faithful customer!
I first off wanna say that this is embarrassing. We came in waited 30 minutes to be be seated, then was told by a manager that our “waitress” was on break? This manager gave us water and took our order on a piece of used paper making us wait an hour and a half not even to get our food. Then finally our “waitress” came and told us it would be three more minutes for our food which was the biggest lie because we waited another 15 minutes only to be told by the people next to us they waited 2 hours for cold food. We waited patiently only to be told by our “waitress” they had no salmon which they could have told us two hours ago but I guess not. She didn’t even know what we could substitute it with which was red flag number 1000. After finally figuring out what to substitute it with we were told our food was only being made now. I know what your thinking “why would you stay?”. We didn’t, we simply wasted 2 hours here not to even get food not to even be greeted properly but to only sit there and feel uncomfortable. If I could give a negative star I would. Me and my sister who were both there also work in this type of industry and this is totally unacceptable.
Loved the food and presentation
A must visit. Good selection of breakfast items. Yummy food and well priced too. Friendly staff. Very busy so be ready to wait. Lot of seating inside and out
The staff seemed a bit rushed and not the most hospitable. But the patio was beautiful and the food was so good! Smoothie options weren't available, but it was made known ahead of time that there would be limits to the menu due to the pandemic.
Service very good!!! , portions are more than plenty, food taste delicious, and homemade jams and breads couldn't ask for anything more for a perfect breakfast????????????????????????????
Big inside and we had great service even though it was packed.
Food was amazing. We sat on the roof top patio which was super cozy. Service was pretty good for being up on the top of the builiding. I would definitely go back.
Anything you order here is amazing. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service and yummy food. Been here many times and it’s always my “go-to” for food on a whim!
Nice atmosphere, much less cramped than some other stellas in the city. Food is usually great, wouldn't recommend the pad Thai, but the breakfasts, sandwiches, and classic English cuisine are great
This is probably their biggest location in the city. They have breakfast and lunch/dinner options offered all day. The food is tasty and service is always great. Parking is a bit of an issue at this location. They do have a parking lot behind the building, but it is often full.
Lovely staff, easily accessible, amazing staff and mouth watering food. Highly recommend and definitely will come back again if Im in Winnipeg
Table sizes are just too small. They are crowed and their is barely any room for waitresses to stand between the tables. Once I left I realized I was charged twice for an iced tea. Food was ok especially since my potatoes were not even cooked throughly!
A modern place for breaky any time. Healthy menu items for the carnivorous and vegan alike. Friendly hipster types will serve there millennial way...which is fine. Enjoy a unique seating arrangement open concept with a rooftop deck that appeals to the sun lovers. Dont be intimidated by the bathrooms...its just they way things are going these days. Really what the big deal.
Stella's has a good variety in their menu with plenty of vegetarian options and twists on classics. Friendly staff and the rooftop patio is great during summer. Menu is a little on the pricier side but portions are generous. The guac is some of the best in the city, would recommend the Mexican breakfast with chorizo.
First time at Stella's on Pembina. Everything was excellent, food and service. I definatly recommend.
If you're going for breakfast on Sunday be ready to wait even if you have reservation but is worth it because the food is really good and the staff very friendly.
Decent food but we asked for a good table for a birthday dinner and we got seated right across the kitchen where it was very loud. We had to move to a quite location.
A great place that’s even better since the remodel (following a fire a couple of years ago). Staff is always excellent and the food is great. Stella’s is the place that you go when you need “something for everyone.” I don’t think that you’d find a single person who could eat here and enjoy it.
I had breakfast, as I do every time I visit a Stella ' s and it is always very good.
Easily one of the best places to get food in Winnipeg, a little slow some times on rush times but people are poeple. Highly recommended!
Staff was very friendly and smiling the whole time. Service was good for being so busy on a Sunday afternoon. Food and drinks were served quickly and correctly. Food quality was delicious and portioned just right. Great experience, would recommend to others!
Went for my Bday celebration with my friends last week. We booked reservation for 10 ppl and we end up have 15 ppl and they arranged sits very nicely for additional guests. Mostly my experience was good but couple of the things made me very upset. First of all servers need to be more patients with orders. Don't ask your customer right away what will they have. Atleast let them look at the drinks menu, give them couple minutes to breath. Second, we order shots and they brought that in regular glass. They killed my mood. It's no fun to gave shots in regular glass. We then order whiskey neat, and server brought it in a Martini glass. That's not cool at all. Who serves whiskey in martini glass ??. Not a good way to impress your customers. Food was just Ok, most of my guest complain that there was no flavor in their food. I would say if you guys make more effort you can really make your customer experience better. Specially when they are coming to celebrate some special day.
Told us the wait was 20 min. We waited 55 min! Had 4 booths open for 20 min and wouldn't seat anyone down. Tons of people waiting then after 40 min they sat people down. We had a group of 4 and they kept seating groups of 2 down at booths for people that waited less than us. Mismanaged. Almost walked out. Food was no hell.
Worst customer service ever. We were a large group, and the lady didn't clean the table from the last guests, I ordered a Smoothie that never arrived, one of friends asked for a Waffle with Ice Cream and the server almost threw it over her face. Super Bad attitude. Horrible experience!
very mediocre not sure what happened to Stella's.
Good restaurant. The verity of dishes well prepared. I will come back.
I had the Ratatouille and it was delicious. The staff is always friendly. The prices are perfect for the quality food you receive. I have been to this location several times and would definitely recommend it.
Have had great food and experiences at every other Stellas in Winnipeg, sadly this one was the exception. Unexceptional food, unexceptional service.
I am regularly impressed at the brunch hour by the service and staff. Coffee is fresh and hot and service is prompt and polite. I request Elise's section as she has always been on top of things making sure me and my guests are taken care of.
Service
Stella's is a great restaurant chain here in Winnipeg. They have the same menu across all the locations and the selection is pretty good. There's a good amount of the menu selection that can be made vegan for those who have that requirement. I go to Stella's pretty often it's basically my quick "let's go out for dinner" restaurant pick.
As always, this place never fails to do a great job! I've been here several times including this time, and I never seem to leave upset. Sometimes there you could wait for your bill a bit longer than expected, but what can can you say, it's a busy place! Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking at some casual dining! Food is great, and staff is exceptional!
VERY DESAPOINTED I have ordered some speciality bread (3 round challah) at Pembina bakery location. The order was clear, accepted by the Stella’ employee. When I came on Saturday morning to pick up the bread I got a polite smile and a deep apology “ no ordered bread due to some bakery misunderstandings” – Big issue for my incoming event , on such a short notice. There were hundreds of way to avoid any “misunderstandings “ ..I believe it was just MISMANAGEMENT This location ( Stella’s on Pembina Winnipeg) either will cancel any “bakery” service ( too difficult to handle) or change the manager ( with one capable to handle this additional service) ..definitely “not my Stella’s “from now on
Highly recommend any of the veggie burgers! The quinoa one tasted excellent
Great service. Food wait was long. (They are making it extra good ;) ) worth the wait. Stella food never dissapoints. Patio was extremely nice and spread out.
I frequent this restaurant a few times a week. It is close to where I work. For me this Stella's is like cheers. Everyone knows your name:). The staff are fantastic. I have yet to be disappointed with the food. The staff and managers legitimately care about your experience. Highly recommended
Had once again Salmon Breakfast. Excellent as usual. Service was superior today
Service was good. Didnt have to wait long for my food and the staff are friendly!
Ordered a pepper jack chicken to go. I think they forgot the jelly.. was not done the way it usually is as it is my typical favorite sandwich. Waiter was very friendly.
Servers were friendly, atmosphere was great but the food was so-so. Second time my roasted potatoes were crunchy.
My wife and I were driving by and saw the rooftop patio and thought it would be a nice place to get a bite to eat. Walked in and waited a bit by the front door, nobody at the front to welcome us, no signs saying wait to be served or seat yourself, so as nobody seemed interested in us we went upstairs to the rooftop patio, found a table in the sun near the front. So we waited, and waited, the servers walking past us several times to clean tables and bring food and drinks to others near us. Nothing, not even a glance, so after over 10 minutes of waiting we left, one of the servers said bye as we left. On the main level I asked a server if walkins aren't allowed and quickly explained what happened, she said there is usually a sign saying wait to be seated and pointed at a basket that was clearly missing the sign, she clearly didn't know what to say and no effort was made to accomadate us, so we left and had a wonderful lunch elsewhere.
Always a good meal...beautiful environment...sometimes a bit difficult to park but worth it!
We went for breakfast and we both had eggs Benedict. The food was cold and the rosemary biscuit was way too thick and dry. Coffee was hot and good and the service was excellent though!
Great food, great staff, usually pretty busy, parking can be tricky in the back.
Excellent bacon, tomatoes, and guacamole sandwich on delicious bread
I always enjoy this Stella's. Even when the line is long to get a table they have a cafe where you can get a coffee while you wait.
Great service, great food, and friendly staff! I would give 5 stars, but the parking isn't very good.
Our waitress enhanced our experience, she was helpful and so down to earth. The food was fantastic, looking forward to going again!
Mezze plate is the best dish they have. My other choice is smoked salmon sandwich but that is a hit and miss.
Awesome food.. staff was really nice. Loved the overall experience. Can’t wait to go back
Gorgeous rooftop patio, although the seats are very close together on the roof. Highly recommend the breakfast plates!
Always a great place, good food, good service, reasonable prices. Very popular though, lunch and dinner you should try to make reservations. We had reservations and arrived at about 11:30 and waited 20 minutes, and the line was getting longer as we stood there. Also the parking lot out back is small, you may have to park a block or two away on a street. Same menu, pretty much, as the Portage or Osborne locations, but also has a front room where they sell their baked goods, breads, buns and pastry and coffee. Definitely worth checking out even if you cannot get in to sit down for a meal.
My favourite Stella's venue. Lots of open space, no wait, and very friendly staff made for a great experience.
The French toast was amazing, but the waffles had jam on them which made them soggy and were served with so much whip cream that there was more whip cream than waffle. You can have too much of a good thing.
Very quaint establishment, people are very friendly and helpful. The baked eggs are amazing, I must say !! As I am heading out tomorrow, I will definitely stop in again !!
If your looking for a quick after-dinner chocolate fix, I recommend a BIG piece of Stella's Chocolate Cake and a hot rich cup of coffee. It hit the spot for us! The Key Lime Pie is great too!
The service was Stellar as always. The food is, getting a little boring. Maybe I've just been to many times. There was a lack of flavor. And alot of the same items from years ago. I love the concept of home cooking, but I've grow tired of the menu as a whole. Time for a break I guess
Our server was amazing and so charming. Food was good, portions generous but not overwhelming. At night, try and not face the window to the side street where the intermittent car light as they turn will blind you.
Have been to Stellas twice. The first time was a great experience although the parking was a bit of a hassel. Our second and probably last time being there we had issues with the the parking again...found a spot eventually but find that the stalls are only made for smart cars or scooters as my van barely fit within the confines of the two yellow lines. Found a seat an received two cups of coffee before our food came out. Food was cold the French Country omelette ordered had cheese that was unrelated and the butter on my pancakes barely melted. Finished our meal and went to make a phone call only to discover that we had no cell range and no Wi-Fi. If you are a business person and need to be able to receive calls and or emails I would suggest another restaurant. Won't be attempting a third visit.
Great food, love the patio! staff are super nice! Good place to go with friends, family, co-workers or a significant other.
Not as good as before, but still a decent place for brunch.
Features local food with an emphasis of “home made”. Excellent staff and consistently good food.
Good service. Nice decor. Food not particularly good, burger greasy, potato wedges undercooked and greasy, cole slaw tasted odd, garlic mushrooms tasted harsh. No separate fork provided for starter salad - have to wipe off, save and reuse for msin course. Menu inaccurate. No blueberries or bananas available for pancakes. Good prices. No WiFi and no cell data connection (didn't know this was possible in the heart of a major city).
I'm a fan. Had the Salmon bennie with pesto and so very good. Others in the party had different breakfast items and were very pleased. Although it was a Saturday at 10:30 and very busy the service was great and speedy. Definately recommend
The building looks architecturally out of place from the street but on its own is a beautiful design. Food is on par with other Stella's locations, 4/5, with a well designed menu and good pricing, although I wish they would change it up more often. Service here can be spotty. I've experienced both outstanding service and long wait period. Coffee is mediocre so I wouldn't recommend just for a latte.
Great service, fast and high quality food. Our family went there for a special occasion, 6 of us celebrating. We made reservations ahead and didn't have to wait for a table when we arrived. Service was fast, and my dad who is typically a picky eater found things on the menu he really enjoyed. While Stella's is a bit pricier compared to other restaurants that serve all day breakfast and sandwiches/burgers, the quality is well worth it. Fresh-made food and quality ingredients. Stella's is worth it. Arrive early to get a seat on the beautiful rooftop patio!
Always a good meal when you have it at Stella's. My favourite is the Carmel Maple something-or-other French toast.
First time at Stella's. Good atmosphere, good food; however, very disappointed in the lack of allergy awareness! Expected more from such a new & trendy restaurant.
We had a breakfast here. I liked a simple and nice interior - wooden tables and chairs, sitting places were separated. Initially, we wanted to sit on the patio but we were warned that there are many wasps, so then decided to sit inside. ????????????????????☕️ Our waitress was super-super nice and showed the best attitude to us and she asked twice to fill our cups of coffee, thanks a lot! ☕️ If you will want a quiet sitting place probably you can ask to sit at the end of the cafe. It is huge, though. Even though Stellas is famous for its breakfasts, they also offer an alcoholic beverage as well, so that you might consider this place to have a dinner with a good wine or cocktail. ???????????????????????? Right on the entrance, there is a bakery, you can buy cakes, banada / sourdough breads, cookies, brownies etc. Definitely will come back again to try another delicious breakfast.
Dine in
There was about a 10 minute wait to be seated. Service was good, I had the french country omelette, it was very flavoursome, the cooks did a phenomenal job with the presentation of the food as well. Although many of the employees had masks, some others didn't, that doesn't make much sense, I don't think the province has ruled a requirement for masks yet, social distancing was in place though. All around great experience.
One year ago the ratatouille was excellent. I assume it still is. This time I decided to try eggplant parmesan. Don't buy it unless you are able to eat alone portion of heavy pasta big enough for two-three adults. And yes, you will get two small pieces of eggplant on the top.
It's good food at very reasonable prices. They have lots of great meal options for vegetarians and vegans. You can get breakfast all day which is always a plus in my book. They have lots of different kinds of food on the menu so it appeals to a wide variety of folks, or if you go there often you can keep trying new things. Good drink options here to. This location also has a bakery where you can pick up all sorts of items to take home for later. In the summer they also have a nice rooftop patio. It doesn't have the best view but it's outside which is very pleasant.
They have great food and lots of people on staff. The rooftop patio is very nice as you can only see the tops of the trees when you are there, makes it look like you are in the middle of a forest even though there's buildings everywhere. Service can be a bit slow during peak hours as they try to keep up with demand... just go when it is not as busy or be prepared to wait a bit. Having said that the wait is still not unreasonable.
Great food, great staff, the patio is perfect on hot days because it is shady and breezy. Mimosas were great as well. Definitely a great time and a great place to eat.
Very slow service. We waited 25 minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink and then another 20 minutes before our order was taken Our meals were cold by the time they came. Very disappointed. Came home for a visit really looking forward to eating here but was very very
Great building with lots of light and modern stylings. Wonderful rooftop patio. Parking is behind the restaurant but the lot is almost always full when I go. During peak hours there will always be a line and a wait. The bakery is great and their jam is to die for. The food is delicious and the service is usually prompt and friendly. One of the best spots for breakfast/brunch in the city!
Excellent food & service, even in the midst of an October Blizzard. The Jambalaya & Bison Chili were incredible. We shall be back again, especially with it being walking distance from home.
Love this place for breakfast. Very friendly staff and always excellent food. Lots of options for vegans or people with restricted diets such as food allergies Not lots of parking is my only complaint
Even with dietary restricrions, the meal and service were awesome. Very knowledgable staff and willing to make sure it didn't contain gluten or dairy.
I was very pleased with the service and food at this location of Stella's and felt I should share. I will definitely go back. I especially enjoyed the roof top patio this summer.
Amazing food and friendly staff, and a nice clean and open dining environment. The comfort food during winter there is nice, but they always have me coming back for some of the best pancakes ever. I'm still shocked how fast food comes out of the kitchen! Always love coming here for the unique dishes. If you're visiting Winnipeg you need to have some breakfast at this local branch!!
The interior of restaurant is amazing. Pembina Stella's is the most organised, clean restaurant compare to the other 2 Stella's. But service wasnt that good. They always serve cold drink in heavy glass cup with straw. Thats what i have had the other stella places. It's kinda hard to drink without straw because its heavy. Anyways, I had my drink with no straw i understood server forgot or missed something it always happens cuz we re not machine. So i let waitress know that i need straw. After around 10m she seems forgot about that, let her remind again, after 10m she served our foods, she said 'oh straw!' and I finally got the straw. Chatting with co-workers is one of my favorite too. But if it's too much it may ruin customers feeling even you serve really good foods.
My second time at this location! I am impressed with the quality of food but also the atmosphere. This experience was more pleasant because it was not only quieter coming early morning, but the food seemed hotter and more full of flavour. The dining room was peaceful and has a trendy vibe - very warm and welcoming. Our waitress, though forgetful at times was still friendly and efficient. In addition to the tasty tofu scramble, I had a London Fog and it was THE BEST I’VE EVER HAD! Thanks so much Stella’s for making my experience a memorable one... will be sure to return :)
Worth the wait! Good breakfast. Very busy. Servers trying hard to keep up with table service.
Just had the worst experience at Stella. Bought kids there for first time and after poor, service and waiting for our food for 50 minutes, servicer had no idea when our food will come… told him we had to go and he gave us bill for our coffee… such awful and worst experience. Would not come ever again
The food was delicious, and the service was very good and quick despite the restaurant being packed to the brim. Would definitely go again.
Bad service, we where ignored. What the menu says doesn’t mean what is on the items, very sad management did not care.
Great food. This day, our wait staff was a bit off. We all have those days.
Every other Stella's has been amazing. This one? The service is consistently slow no matter what time of day, it takes forever to get your food, to get your waiters attention, to get drinks. Always super super slow.
Went to Stella's Pembina this evening for supper with my son and had a fabulous experience! The staff were excellent...prompt, friendly, helpful with menu suggestions, chatty but not too chatty. The food that was served is pleasing to the eye and the pallet! Kudos to the Manager and serving staff and cooks! We'll be back!
Enjoyed the veggie sandwich with caesar salad....one of my faves on the menu. Service was excellent!
Love this place. Last time we had such a nice welcome waitress, helped us with the menu and, overall, was very professional. The menu is great as always
Delicious healthy find up on the rooftop patio. Definitely will go again.
Vegan food lovers can't get dissapointed at Stella's and every employee is super cool. Love this place.
Came to the Pembina Highway location to celebrate wedding anniversary. Was disappointed to find that the Salmon Wellington was sold out. This was 6:15 pm on a Friday night. Ordered the Vegetarian Lasagna with Caesar Salad instead. Flavours were amazing and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Server was adequate. Not very friendly. But the meal turned what started as a negative visit into a wonderful dinner.
The rooftop patio is a great experience, and the food is always terrific.
The food is good if you know what to order . I ordered the veggie lasangnia and was a bit disappointed. Other than that ,the rest of the food is worth a try . Service is great there.
Always good food here
[edit] - 2017, all issues are corrected, no complaints, great experience. Growing pains seem to be done. 3 straight 5-star experiences, breakfast lunch and dinner (on separate days lol). Well run.
Been there a few times. Had Jambalaya and chicken curry. Both very good. Friendly service. Down one star as atmosphere is not great. The tables and chairs give it a cafeteria feel.
My all time favorite Breakfast place is Stella's. There is no contest. I rate it 5 stars on on all of below criteria: Quality of food Variety of menu items Value for money Ambiance Pleasantness of staff Promptness of service Locations Seating area Parking We are a big family and Stella's is our place of choice any time of day. It is great place to hold business meetings, a date or a long private conversation with a friend. Their Stella's jam is delicious and their smoothies are a must try. In case you havent been, make sure you do soon. As for Stella's I would just add, open more locations, we cant have enough of you! If this review helped you in any way, please click Like below.
Good service and fresh food at affordable prices
The food was very good the breads and jam are apparently made in house. They have a coffee bar and sell breads from that area of the restaurant. We have been there twice now and they have some amazing smoothies and we have tried four of the five that they offer and really like them all. They are $6.95 for a 20oz serving. They have an all-day breakfast option and I had a croissant stuffed with bacon eggs and cheese. Other choices in our group were a salmon spinach Benedict, fruit salad, oatmeal, and a Mexican breakfast which was almost too much to eat and it included guacamole, sour cream, hash browns, two eggs, and refried beans on top of some soft tacos. You won't go away hungry after choosing this dish! Prices are reasonable for what you get and as stated, good portions for the price.
Great brunch spot. The decor is great, service is friendly and the food is an organic treat. Highly recommended.
I didn't want to leave a bad review but I hope the owners can see it and work on it to improve their service. I usually like going to Stellas on portage but wanted to try the patio in stellas on Pembina, unfortunatley I never even had the opportunity to eat there. I went there to meet up a friend for brunch on a Sunday,my mistake was that I didnt make a reservation beforehand. Just to give some background,I don't drive and I took the bus,I also live near Windsor park. I arrived there and went inside to get a table while waiting for my friend to Come, she also took the bus. I was told there is a 45 to an hour waiting list for the patio and since me and my friend cannot sit inside together as we are not from the same household and not fully vaccinated I agreed to wait. Right before my friend came while I was waiting for maybe 7 min I got a call there is an open table inside,I explained to the girl that I need the patio as we cannot sit inside together and she said they will call me back. Me and my friend decided to go to a nearby Tim hortons while waiting and get a drink, after being at Tims for almost an hour at that point with no call, we decided to go back towards stellas in case they call us. All I have to say is,they never called us back. We decided to go back to my friends house and get pizza. I hope the management can take care of this in the future because not only we wasted time by coming there by bus on a Sunday(bus service is very scarce on Sunday's) but we waited for literally nothing. I know the restaurant is busy but I feel if you make a promise to a customer it should be kept. Thank you for your time
Rating is poor only because the patio furniture is absolutely ridiculous! Waited 10 minutes to be seated on the patio, which was fine, but they should really let you know that you'll be eating off an end table about a foot off the ground.... This type of low table arrangement is incompatible for the chair height. Older guests or people with back pain will not be able to enjoy sitting up on the patio at all. Not to mention the fact that eating entrees, especially soups or pasta are literally impossible, unless you want to wear your food. PLEASE GET SOME REGULAR HEIGHT TABLES! I love Stella's and my food was great, but i ended up taking half my meal in a take out box because of the table height. I will never ask to be seated on the patio again unless the tables are changed.
It was recommended to have breakfast over there and it was super great. Service and food was of excellent quality. Good value for price!
Stella's is a must for any visitor or newcomer to Winnipeg. Great food and service.
Always busy here. Menu is diverse. Favorites are Baked Eggs, Salmon Benedict and Mexican Breakfast.
Service is horrible good food though
Every time I am at my friends house Google maps constantly askes if I'm at stellas which is several blocks away and has better food and atmosphere anyway. Please stop asking me of I'm at stellas Google
Superb food. Managment is superb. You folks rock
Had the Tofu breakfast and Mezze Plate at Stella - was amazing. Everytime we go to Stella's we are always satisfied and delighted by the food.
Nice place. Don't get the Pad Thai, it's disgusting. the noodle are overcook and taste slightly burnt, not anything like Pad Thai. Vegan chocolate cake go with that... can't go wrong with chocolate cake.
Food quality not as good at this location as Pembina Highway location. Extremely crowded tables, very loud. Wouldn't return. Server was excellent and really appreciated.
Wow! Exceeded expectations! Very busy spot. Got there early and had the Mexican breakfast thing. Perfectly done, good portion, good coffee, good service. Will be back next time in Winnipeg!
The place is amazing with amazing food. However in the winter it can take you up to 30+ min to get a table.
The food was heavenly and staff were nice and friendly. My only problem was that the place was crowded so we had to wait but that pales in comparison to the service, good job!
Poor service. Nice atmosphere. Good, healthy food options. Modern plating and great hot beverages.
CRUMPTIOUS FOOD, GREAT PRICES and the staff are so attentive, professional and quick. Their grilled cinnamon bun is a must try.
We had a very bad experience in our last visit although the food was very good. We made waiting for 90 minutes outside to have free 7 seat tables at the Patio. When we got the seat we realized that there were free seat and space but they hesitated to provide them. The worse was that we saw they rearranged the seat for others to provide them room while they did not do it for us. I expect much more from such great name and Brand to respect their customers. Hope they fix it for the future but I will never visit them agian.
Great food, ambiance and service. Sufficient vegetarian options available too. Will definitely go there again.
This is a really beautiful Stella's location: great food and great atmosphere. The real standout is the patio in summer.
Very delicious and a perfectly reasonable price for lunch. My favourite sandwhiches (try the Arugula Salad ????!)
Loud and boisterous atmosphere during peak brunch hours on the weekend. Fast and efficient service which is great when it's so busy. Limited parking but there is lots on the streets. Expect the same menu as all other locations.
I’ve been going to Stella’s over the years ever since they opened the first location in Osborne Village over ten years ago. The menu, the fresh baking and cooking never disappoints! The last couple of visits I tend to go to the locations on Pembina and Sherbrook. I enjoyed the cinnamon bun, and chai latte..so yummy! Friendly staff too! As a visitor to Winnipeg: Stella’s is a must! Local.
Stella has trancended its restaurant status. It is now a cultural phenomenon in Winnipeg. But i dont see whats special about this place. The line up is atrocious and on a busy day one can wait up to 45mins to be seated. I am very traditional and tend to stick with old fashion choices like bread and bacon. For the adventourous spirit, this place offers some excellent choices beyond toast and bacon. On the other hand, one of the female waiters in the pembina location has an "am too good to be serving you/am better than you/am just going to fake a smile while simultaneously being passively rude to you attitude".
It was our first time at this particular Location. The place was clean, ambience was good. Waiting time is typically 20-30min on a weekend /holiday. *Make sure to carry your proof of vaccination when you go* The server was really quick and interactive. Rest of the staff was polite as well. One of the half plates was not clean but they changed but immediately and without hassle. Food potions were really good and quality of food was also decent. All in wall a good experience.
