The menu is so extensive, the 3-4 vegan options were great ones. T
The portions amazing, vibe excellent. Great Mimosas!!

We enjoyed both the vegan blueberry pancakes and vegan tofu "Benedict" (it's cubes of seasoned tofu with avocado slices, deep fried potato slices, and some pineapple -no hollandaise sauce so not like a Benedict at all but their best dish), and the tofu scramble with home fries is good too. Two years ago we got a vegan cheesesteak that we didn't care for but the 3 vegan breakfast options are solid.
Update: as of July 2025 the deep fried potato slices have been replaced with shredded potato pan fried in much less oil

This is a cute little brunch spot. They have a few vegan options, which is nice. Their "eggs Benedit" is NOTHING like eggs benedict...no hollandaise sauce! So they should just rename the dish because it is decent. Pancakes were good. A solid option if you are dining with meat eaters. The servers were super friendly and accommodating.

I really wanted to like this place, but there were just too many negatives that outweighed the positives. First, upon walking in we were seated promptly right near the door, that was propped wide open even though it was 60° and raining. This door remained opened 95% of the time we were in the restaurant and left us all shivering. Another negative was the outrageous prices, which I get being high due to inflation but this is too far for what you get. Not only was it so deafeningly loud in the space, but the hostesses were wandering around blindly, in everyone’s way, and were bordering on making us all uncomfortable due to their hover-like nature in the dining room. However, the food was delicious, and our server was attentive and kind and did good at making the 45 minute wait time for our food feel less prolonged then it was.

The service is amazing, both the hostess and the waitress were so sweet and attentive. The issue is the price of the items, it’s very expensive for the amount of food that you get and the quality of the food.
I really wanted to specify that the service wasn’t the problem. Copper Dog is a block down, has a much better menu, and is cheaper based off of the items I ordered!

Offered vegan blueberry pancakes, tofu scrambles, avocado toast, and açaí bowls. I had the vegan pancakes and the tofu scramble. The pancakes were good and so was the scramble. The scramble only was seasoned tofu and a side of home fries. I think it would’ve been better if the scramble had more veggies. Good for a sit down breakfast diner vibe for the family with many dietary restrictions.

We really enjoyed our breakfasts. Or waitress was friendly and very helpful. We came for a late breakfast, and the breakfast gyro was recommended. It was a great 'sandwich' with the grilled lamb and scrambled eggs. I'd definitely recommend it.

First time visit. Was out for a morning walk and was looking for a cup of coffee. Very near the beach, one of the few places that is open early. The fruit bowl was amazing. Coffee was good. Definitely will come back

Old man, probably the owner, had a terrible attitude. Me and my grandson just left and found a nice dinner 5 minutes away.
Stopped for breakfast. Dogs welcome on the porch. Provided water with blueberries for the pooch. Also had special doggie menu. Food and service were excellent.

Waitress seemed like we was a bother from the time we got there so was afraid to say anything but…. My coffee the creamer curdled and then I got a omlet she even asked what kind of cheese I wanted well it had no cheese when It arrived at the table it was the driest omlet I have ever had no filling really won’t be back!

This is an excellent, comparatively cheap by-the-bay brunch place. Don't let the word "cheap" fool you, though. The food has a good, classic Wildwood soul cooked into it. The service was great and timely, and our dairy-based diet restriction was handled respectfully. We will be returning.
We come to Jersey Shore from Southeastern PA frequently. We chose Stella's because it was dog friendly. However, it was not people friendly. The dog's Bow Wow Bowl was exceptional compared to our meal. The Chicken Cesear Wrap was mediocre. It was overpriced for size and portion of chicken at $15.95. The side of French Fries we ordered had less fries than a large order at McDonald's or Wendy's. Instead of where's the beef, it's where'd the potatoes. It gets worse, the Sangria's, which they don't post or put the dollar amount on their drink menu were $19.00 each and they were absolutely disgusting since the wine was missing. Furthermore, I understand an upcharge for a credit card as opposed to cash, but a $72.62 lunch bill for only 1 sandwich, a $9.95 Bow Wow Bowl and 2 drinks should not be included. $10 or less yes. At least a gas station; Cash or Credit, discloses it upfront, Stella's did not. The dog got a better deal than we did. The waitress, although nice, was not professional and kept rushing us long with the bus boy. Lastly it was unprofessional for the mother inside the cafe loudly scolding her son because he didn't charge another customer for their meal because they were not satisfied either. I was relaxed and on vacation and I left quietly instead of complaining. I waited a day to compose myself and provide this true and factual review. In can understand why they're empty. We will never return there.
