A friend suggested we try Stella while we were visiting San Francisco and I'm so glad we did! We had breakfast there twice and then took a dessert to go and enjoyed it at some random seating area and people watched on another day. The raspberry chocolate cake was beyond amazing!

Good, although not exceptional. The vibe is very minimalistic and chill. It's a cafe/bakery with lots of pastries to try. I had a drip coffee and a cannolo siciliano (stracciatella), and although it wasn't freshly prepared and a bit too sweet compared to the equivalents I've had in Italy (huge fan of cannoli here), it was good! I wish the staff would have wiped the table I sat at, since it had lots of leftover crumbs from the previous customers. But it wasn't a big deal.

Only had the cannoli but hot damn, is it good. Just got back from visiting my parents in South Jersey and the cannoli I had from my hometown bakery has nothing on this. The ricotta is so smooth and creamy, it's fantastic. I could eat these all day. Reminds me of when I was in Sicily last year. They could be a little bigger, but other than that, perfect.

I bought Sacripantina large cake. It's good but not as good as before. And waiting time is ridiculous. The staff and register skip me and help people behind me, and act as I i was cutting the line.

BAAAAADDDD watery coffee. Tastes like hot coffee flavored dishwater. I live in the area. And both Stella Cafe and Victoria Cafe (same owners) have such awful (cheap/wateey) coffee. Good for baked goods but if you want normal coffee you have to ask for an extra shot and then they want to charge for making it taste normal. I've had coffee here several times hoping desperately they might change their coffee or increase the strength and consistenly disappointed. Good location and nice pastries but they use cheap watery coffee in both Stella and Victoria and make you pay $2 to make it drinkable.

Stella is one of my favorite bakeries. The food is always delicious and service quick. If you're walking around little Italy in SF, don't miss this gem in the area.

Very light and fresh tiramisu! Delicious! Not a lot of seating indoor/outdoor so be prepared for that

Great cappuccino, pastries & biscotti are average,. Customer service is hit or miss depending if the hipster bro is behind the counter lecturing Italian customers on authenticity of the baked goods.

Ordered the 7x10 tiramisu through DoorDash on a weekday, and everything was seamless! When I called beforehand, they said they could write a birthday message in the notes on DoorDash for them to write on the cake too (I didn't do it but it's a nice option). The cake arrived on time in perfect condition, and it was delicious as always. Everyone thought the tiramisu was amazing. Stella continues to be my go to tiramisu bakery!

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
