I always get the simply scrambled and the waffle. Staff is always friendly. Atmosphere is always relaxing. Most important, food is always satisfying!

Awful company ran and owned by bigots. Food is really disgusting if I’m being honest. Just buy hashbrowns and eggs from the grocery store for a much better experience

Staff are wonderful but the managers & owners are awful. Manipulative and aggressive. Food is beyond bland as well
Jill Sutherland
Took them all hour to take my order about 8 years ago, and now that we know how toxic the work environment has been due to some management and the owners I can see why. The owners need to sit down and bargain in good faith so that workers can feel safe and secure before I would consider eating here ever again.

Stella's has a long history of mistreating their staff. Their Sherbrooke location has been on strike for weeks and management refuses to provide workers with a respectful work environment. If you're not avoiding Stella's for their lackluster food, I suggest you avoid them for their terrible treatment of their workers.

As someone with complex allergies, I rarely eat out. Even something as simple as salad needs to be modified to be safe to eat. Looking at Stella's menu in advance, I saw a couple robust salad possibilities. Our server was open to slight modifications of the Wolseley salad to remove allergens and substitute with safe alternatives. AND, I was delighted to learn their potato cuts (fries) were oven-baked, eliminating risk of gluten contamination. I have fries maybe once a year, so it was a complete delight (and SO tasty)! Most appreciatively, I did not feel any sense of burden in asking for what I needed; no eye-roll, no body language that indicated that it would be any sort of hassle. Our server was quick to write all the allergens down for the chef. I appreciated this most of all. Would definitely return.

The staff are friendly and putting effort in making the visit as enjoyable as possible. It's great to see a team work together.Hot coffee with a bakery next door? Yes, please.

Stellas has been a favourite of my group for a long time. Some of the best brunch around!! I highly recommend the Mexican breakfast :)

Thank you to the friendly staff and our server Nicole. Had such an amazing breakfast! The food was perfectly cooked and the in house toast was delicious! The local Ice Tea was SOO good we had to get extra refills just for the road!

Beautiful evening on the patio with vegan chocolate cake and a latte.
My family loves eating at Stella's! But this is our go to branch. The place is clean and very pretty. The staff are always so friendly and helpful as well. The food of course is amazing! The portions are big and you leave full and satisfied. You don't feel disgustingly full. Its one of those feelings where you know you ate a full meal and just know that you made the right choice.

I have been here maybe 3 times this year. All experiences were pleasant and the food was good. Except on my last visit a week ago, I ordered a smoothie with my brunch but quickly told the waitress I changed my kind and wanted it switched for a mimosa. Well low and behold, I pay my bill thinking she took it off (Bronwyn I believe), and get home to see that she didn't and I got ripped off of a smoothie that I paid for. Tried calling back to explain but it just rings and rings. If they see this, I want my smoothie!!!!!

Really great vegan and vegetarian options. The tofu scramble and the Mexican breakfast are so good!

Consistently Inconsistent Pick-Up serviceThis review is a long time coming, and isn't just for this location but a few Stella's locations. To sum up: nice service inside, but if ordering pickup, be prepared for a lot of frustration, penny-pinching, and inconsistency both from location-to-location and visit-to-visit. food: 3.5-4 stars depending on what you orderdine-in service: 4-4.5pick-up service: 2-2.5I've ordered from Stella's MANY times for a local in the area. While the dine-in service is just fine and quite friendly, the pick-up service is extremely inconsistent. So many times (more than I can count) this location and many others have repeatedly forgotten items we've ordered. Most times it's when we order extra dressing on the side of your salad (they charge extra for everything here, but even when they charge you extra you don't get what you pay for). Other times it's been the garnishes for dishes (and it's stuff I actually eat with the dish like the cilantro on top of the chickpea curry). Today, we sat outside Stella's Sherbrook to order our meal (don't want to eat in due to COVID) and then we went in after the 20 mins to pick up. The guy apologized, as he didn't even punch in the order!! We didn't have time to wait another 20 so we said forget it. No offer of a free meal or gift card or anything. Just a sorry and a shoulder shrug. If we had been eating in, chances are we would've received something like maybe a free meal or dessert as a condolence for the error. When we called ahead to try ordering again after an errand (same day, this time at Stella's Plug-In), they actually punched in the order, which was a great start, but they were out of tomatoes for the burger and also out of condiment cups for the extra salad dressing. They put ketchup in a soup cup for us, but when my husband asked if he could get his extra salad dressing in a cup, they said no, that they'd put extra dressing on top of the salad instead. This is also not to mention the previous week when we waited outside the Provencher location for our order, only to have the worker call us back saying they ran out of tofu for my tofu scramble. We'd already been sitting there for 10 mins. Finally, at the Sherbrook location, my husband called for a breakfast sandwich with sausage. They said that's not an option. But at the Plug-In location they've been doing it for us for multiple orders. Not sure what's going on with training there right now, but it's very frustrating to hear you "can't" order something at one location when at a different one you can, especially for a business that values and emphasizes CONSISTENCY.

Wonderful serving staff. Had the Scandinavian platter. Gravlax and dill sauce was excellent. Potato salad tasted off, like it was past its prime. Way too much vinegar on the cucumber salad. Bread and soup, as usual, flavourful & satisfying. Iced tea was refreshing.
